Derek Hough is still figuring out this cast member’s routine.
Because when it comes to con artist Anna Delvey’s casting on Dancing with the Stars, it takes more than one performance to uncover her layers.
“She fuels the curiosity because she’s still a mystery,” Derek told E! News in an exclusive interview following season 33’s premiere episode. “If I’m honest with you, even after last night, I was like, ‘I don’t quite understand you yet, but I want to know more.’” (For more with Derek, tune into E! News tonight, Sept. 24.)
And indeed, it seemed like the live studio audience was similarly looking for answers after Anna and partner Ezra Sosa’s first performance was met with noticeably less enthusiasm.
But for Derek, the dance competition wouldn’t be what it is without that diversity in its stars.
“That’s what I love about the show, is that it gives you a little bit of everything,” he continued. “It gives you that curiosity. There’s something in the show for everybody. So there might be somebody out there that that that wants that.”
As he quipped, “True crime is really popular right now.”
