Appearing on Spelling's podcast "misSPELLING," Delvey explained why she bluntly told the audience she “didn’t learn a dang thing.” According to her, the judges’ feedback didn't help her stay on the show. Despite following their advice, Anna feels their guidance wasn’t enough to keep her in the competition.
On the podcast, she shared that while the judges told her what to do, the changes didn’t translate to higher scores or audience votes. This left her feeling like there was “nothing” to gain from her time on the show. She also revealed that producers encouraged her to smile more, implying it would improve her performance. But when she was kicked off early, she felt used, and the entire experience soured for her.
It's worth noting that DWTS results are a combination of judges’ scores and public voting. Delvey ranked in the bottom half, and considering the backlash surrounding her casting, it’s unlikely she got much support from viewers.
Even DWTS pros like Maksim Chmerkovskiy had strong opinions about her involvement, bluntly calling her a “s****y dancer” on the TMZ Podcast and questioning why she was cast in the first place.
With her dancing days behind her, it seems Anna is ready to move on—and she’s not exactly reminiscing fondly about her time in the ballroom.
