Well, Anna Delvey’s run on Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars was brief but memorable. As you may recall, Anna, who is also known as Anna Sorokin, posed as a wealthy heiress. In 2019, she was convicted of fraud and sentenced to between four and 12 years in prison.
In 2021, Anna was released from prison early and was placed on house arrest. And she has to wear a special ankle monitor. They bedazzled it for DWTS.
While DWTS is used to casting controversial figures, the backlash against Anna was immediate. However, Anna was paired with enthusiastic new dance pro Ezra Sosa, and they survived two weeks of competition.
They were sent home during Oscars Night in a brutal double elimination. When asked what she would take away from her ballroom experience, Anna had a one-word answer. “Nothing,” she said coolly. Of course, I’m not sure if this show was the right fit for Anna. It requires you to be vulnerable and open, and it seems like that may be difficult for the real Anna to achieve. So, what five other reality shows could Anna Delvey do after DWTS? Let’s break it down.
Anna Delvey could try Celebrity Big Brother
Celebrity Big Brother, which films in Britain, has celebrities competing to be the final house guest. So, what does the winner receive? The thanks of a grateful TV audience. In the past, winners would get a cash prize that was donated to charity. But that is no longer the case.
According to The Mirror, celebrities are reportedly paid a fee to stay in the house. Of course, the amount of the fee depends on the contestant’s popularity, and sometimes on their length of stay. Some celebrities, like Sharon Osbourne, popped in as a “lodger.” A “lodger” can’t be put up for eviction or win the show. They seem to be there to stir up trouble.
This type of reality show may be more Anna’s speed. She can stay mysterious like she hoped to do on DWTS. After her exit line following her elimination, we know she pulls no punches. Just for being dramatic, she could probably net a handsome payday. Of course, Anna would need permission from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hop across the pond due to that pesky ankle monitor.
What about House of Villains?
The first season of House of Villains gathered the best villains from across the reality TV spectrum. Players from Survivor, The Challenge, The Bachelor, Vanderpump Rules, and more all met up to compete, backstab, and trash-talk each other. And there was plenty of back-stabbing with $200,000 on the line. The first-ever winner was Tanisha Thomas of Bad Girls Club.
So, what would make this a good fit for Anna? Well, she has no problem speaking her mind and clapping back. When DWTS alum Maksim Chmerkovskiy gave his unfiltered opinion of Anna, she wasn’t happy. “She’s just a sh*tty dancer,” Maksim remarked. “I didn’t even get to see the ‘why’ she got on the show,” he stated.
Well, Anna took to her Instagram Stories to respond. “Who’s this Maksim person? He must be poor,” she wrote. WOW.
Since this is a show about devious and plotting villains, Anna might be right at home. I dare say she would be thinking leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.
Anna Delvey on Real Housewives of New York
The reboot of Real Housewives of New York was fantastic. Of course, we miss some of the originals, but this new cast brought it. There was drama, closets, cheese, anniversary party faux pas, and plenty of fashion.
Jessel Taank is a publicist in the fashion space. And Anna is also, reportedly, a fashion public relations executive. She is currently under house arrest in New York City, so she wouldn’t need special permission to film. Since she seems like she can be charming, I could see her trying to snatch away model Ubah Hassan’s business and trying to make deals with influencer Sai De Silva.
I’m not sure how she would get along with the entire group. I could see her butting heads with Erin Lichy and I’m not sure how icon Jenna Lyons would feel about her. After all, Anna ran in the high-priced art world of New York City while scamming people. This may be a good fit for Anna, but would it be for the rest of the cast?
Ah yes, The Traitors
The Traitors sets a group of celebrities and well-known people in Alan Cumming’s Scottish castle. Once there, he secretly selects two or three players to be Traitors, while the rest are called Faithfuls. Every night, the Traitors meet in secret and murder one Faithful, removing them from the game. Then, each night at the Round Table, the group meets and tries to vote out a Traitor. All the while, the group must work together to earn cash for the prize pot.
At the end of the game, if a Traitor remains, they take the entire cash prize. If only Faithfuls remain, they split the prize. So, rooting out the Traitors is the ultimate goal.
To succeed in this game, you have to know how to deceive and strategize. Once again, this series could be Anna’s dream show. Her criminal past demonstrates that she can manipulate people and take advantage of them. Once again, Anna would need special permission to meet Alan in the Scottish countryside. But I would enjoy watching Anna match wits with the other competitors in this series.
I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here
In I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! which is broadcast in Britain, a group of celebrities rough it in Australia. The goal? To be voted King or Queen of the Jungle by the public. The Independent reported that there is no cash prize for the winner. However, the celebrities are compensated to appear on the show. Apparently, their popularity dictates their pay rate.
However, I cannot picture Anna competing in some of these challenges. I feel queasy just thinking about them. Contestants have to eat bizarre things, like a crocodile penis. Or you could be forced to get up close and personal with snakes and rats. Nope!
During DWTS, Anna could barely summon up the enthusiasm to look interested. And Anna’s ankle tracker, once again, would be an issue for going to Australia.
There is no way that Anna would put herself in these scary conditions. Of all of the reality shows that Anna could do after DWTS, I think that The Traitors and Real Housewives of New York would be a great fit for Anna.
