I doubt I will be rooting for her. But I know almost none of them.

When you have to have ex convicts (and that is what they are famous for) on the show, it's jumped the shark. 🦈

My favorites will be Steven and Ilona, the 2 olympians. I follow Ilona on instagram. She’s pretty amazing. Fun too. She’ll have a great time with this.

So if you're white and blonde, you can not only commit crimes in this country but you will be rewarded for it AND not deported. Just imagine if she had brown skin. Seriously. SHAME ON DWTS! You already have an audience without pulling this stunt.

Yeah, after I put together who she is I think I will boycott DWTS until she is gone. If she hasn't repaid the woman and hotels. She swindled she shouldn't get this opportunity.

Sorry, I didn't mean to jump on this show so strongly as I like the current hosts and some of these contestants will be fun to watch. Initially, I laughed at the ankle bracelet but then thought about it a bit more and I just hope she is gone soon. She really should be deported as every other convicted non-citizen would be. I will speak of her no more.
Poor Eric Roberts - They introduced him as Julia Robert's brother as if he hasn't had his own career as an actor. That's a low blow, lol!

I watched the special on her and there was nothing to like. Surely they could have found someone else.

Here's what I found on the google machine.
From Aug 2024
"Anna Delvey was released from prison in 2021, but was sent to an immigration detention facility for the next 18 months for allegedly overstaying her visa. She was released on bail in 2022, and has been held under house arrest as her deportation proceedings wind their way through the courts."
So the deportation thing is still going on.

There is a Netflix show called Inventing Anna. The actress's accent for Anna Delvey will make you lose your mind.

Anyone watch? It was a good, except the two old men can barely walk, let alone dance! The basketball guy was surprisingly good. Phedra was pretty good too and Johnny Bananas was there to cheer her on, although I don't know if they showed him on TV (I saw it on his instagram).

Emma has gotten screwed with the old guys for a couple seasons now.
A lot of good ones this season. Phedra surprised me with her sexy self!
I loved the nerdy gymnast guy. When he took off his glasses he was really handsome

I often wonder if they put the awful dancers with specific pros, maybe pros who want a "light" season. I think Emma will get a lot of time off.

Derek and his wife's dance tonite was breathtaking! Her story is a true miracle!
I love Julianna and Alphonso as hosts. I never thought I would love anyone more than Tom but I really feel like these 2 have steered the ship so well lately

I think that Daniella danced with another BB player in a prior season, so I suspect that’s why she got Dwight. She would be used to the height difference in the choreography more than some of the others.

She does a great job with the choreo. I love the bachelor guy and Danny. Phadera is coming across nicer than I have ever seen her. She is doing well but so many great dancers this season that she should go in the next 1 or 2 rounds. I actually really like all the remaining couples. This is the first season in awhile with so many likeables
I'm happy with the gal that left. I was tired of her being sexy in every min of every dance. She is gorgeous and wow her sisters too! I bet their daddy had a shotgun LOL

Yep, I was happy with who went home. I'm enjoying all the rest of them! Danny and the Joey the bachelor are my favorites. the two olympic athletes are a joy to watch. Fun season!

Anyone still watching? Fun to see Derek and sister dance last night. I think the right person went home. He was fun to watch, but skills not up to the others and height difference so difficult. I think one of the olympic athletes will probably get cut next. It's been fun to watch them dance. I think the young Disney star should probably win, but I've been voting for the NFL guy and the Bachelor.

Yes. I watch. And the right person did go home.
I love everyone left. Especially, Ilona for her sheer joy in dance, whether she does well or not. But, I actually think that Joey might win. He is so freaking likable, the extent of which was never visible when he was on The Bachelor. The Disney star is fantastic though. They all are. The judges clearly want the Disney star to win.

and Joey is really quite good! So I don't think it would be awful if he wins. I'd be happy. I've always liked him a lot.
I saw the NFL guy on Special Forces -- and really liked him on there, so I'm glad he's lasted far into this competition.

Really enjoyed the finale (and being able to FF through all the fluff that they expanded into 3 hours). I liked Stephens free style the best -- wow, it really impressed me with all the gymnasts. Just so fun. I really didn't like Joey's free style. I thought it was pretty boring! But I was happy with the win. Joey impressed me all season and was fun to watch.

Stephen’s freestyle was really good. Probably the most content Of all the freestyles due to the gymnastics. Watching his partner slipping on the pommel horse shows how hard that apparatus is. She put together an excellent routine.
I was fine with the Joey win and Ilona coming in second. For not being a dancer, Joey discovered a hidden talent. Chandler was an exceptional dancer, but she was already receiving high scores on the first dance of the season.
Other than maybe Stephen, Ilona probably improved the most from where she began. She took it all in stride and worked hard to become a dancer. She was clearly an underdog. I was happy with her being second. Alan crying was so sweet. He’s probably never danced with someone that had the drive and positive personality as Ilona has. He was a mess. Ilona was fun to watch. Her personality is infectious.

Joey and Jenna won. Fine by me. But I was rooting for the Olympians, Stephen (my fave), and Ilona.
The rude ice queen Anna Delvey (sp) was there too. With her attitude, I was surprised she bothered to show up. It was great when they needled her twice about her apathetic comment she made when she was voted out.

Stephen and Chandler's freestyles were the best. Chandler should have won but Joey did a great job all season. I just feel it is easier for the guys than the girls
I was so disappointed in the routine Witney did for Danny, it highlighted her more than him at the start.

I really liked the Barbie dance, and I think much was to hide his deficiencies. I feel like he progressed the least of the final 5. Mind you, I voted for him many weeks (I didn't get to vote in time last night). I was happy to see him in the finale, but I think 5th place was probably correct.
