Derek Hough Shares Honest Reaction to Anna Delvey’s DWTS Casting

As a seasoned fan of Dancing with the Stars, I must say that this year’s lineup is nothing short of extraordinary! Each contestant brings their unique charm and background to the dance floor, making every performance a delightful surprise.


Derek Hough is still figuring out this cast member’s routine.

When discussing Anna Delvey’s potential appearance on Dancing with the Stars, it’s not just a single dance that reveals her complex character traits.

In an exclusive interview post the season 33 premiere, Derek expressed to TopMob News that she piques his curiosity as she remains somewhat of an enigma. To be candid with you, even after last night’s episode, he confessed: “I haven’t grasped you entirely, but I’m eager to learn more.” (Don’t miss Derek’s continued insights on TopMob News tonight, September 24.)

Indeed, it appeared as though the live studio audience was just as puzzled following Anna and her partner Ezra Sosa’s initial performance, which received significantly less applause.

But for Derek, the dance competition wouldn’t be what it is without that diversity in its stars.

He went on to say, “What makes the show great is its variety – it stirs your curiosity and has something for everyone. Whether you’re one of many who appreciate this, I hope so.

As he quipped, “True crime is really popular right now.”

As a passionate admirer, I’m just one among many talented individuals hailing from diverse backdrops, all striving to secure the prestigious Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

During Ilona and Stephen’s trek from the stage to the ballroom, the experienced performer on the show remarked, “A mere month ago, their names were unfamiliar to us, but now they’re shining stars, American icons right here on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ It’s quite fascinating.

As for the person who will ultimately win this year, Derek believes that anyone could take the title – it’s all up in the air, or unpredictable, like a dance.

He noted that the performance isn’t only about dance, it’s also about forming a bond with the viewers. Essentially, it’s about who resonates most with the audience.

On the athletic front, Stephen Nedoroscik and Ilona Maher, who are 2024 Olympians, along with retired sports celebrities Dwight Howard from NBA and Danny Amendola from NFL, will be giving their best performances. Meanwhile, Joey Graziadei and Jenn Tran, former Bachelor Nation participants, are trading in their roses for dance shoes instead.

It’s a certain degree of magic in the show’s casting that Derek looks forward to year after year.
