Cheryl Burke Thinks Anna Delvey Should’ve Been Paired With Val on 'Dancing With the Stars’

Transcript

00:00What did you make of Anna Delvey? Obviously that casting choice was a little controversial.

00:05You know, she had her blinged out a little bit. What did you kind of make of that? And

00:10a lot of people were also commenting on her lack of enthusiasm on the dance floor.

00:16I've got a few, I guess, thoughts here. I really wish that she would have was paired with Val

00:24because I think Val would have cracked her open a little bit as far as like

00:29finding some sort of emotion, whatever emotion she needed to express. Because I think that's what,

00:35there's a disconnect, right? And I think the disconnect, first of all, she's being,

00:39she feels like she's being attacked. So psychologically, you're like, okay,

00:42protect, protect, protect, protect. Don't let anybody in. I get it. But I just wonder

00:48if it's almost like too soon, right? Like you can't avoid the comments. You can't avoid hearing

00:54what Whoopi Goldberg says about her. You can't avoid it. But the only thing, if she's even

01:00listening to this, honestly, the one thing that she can do if she really wants to change people's

01:05minds and perception about her and perspective, whatever, is to really open up and showcase

01:14anger. If it's anger, sadness, if it's sadness, like she cannot, I think it's the one expression

01:22on her face almost looks like a little bit like she's entitled, right? And it looks like she

01:29doesn't want to be here. And I know that that's not the case because she is, I saw it last night.

01:34She worked hard to be able to do that regardless of what anyone thinks. If it's good, she has

01:39potential. But what she needs to understand is not just a dance competition at all. Actually,

01:45I would say it's more of a, who are you as a person competition? Like, how vulnerable will

01:52you be? That comes first. Like that is 75% of the competition. Like it's a journey. It's like,

01:59are you letting people in? Because she didn't let Alex Cooper in when she did Call Her Daddy. And

02:04that's what's really hard for me because I was trying to give her a chance. Like I wanted to,

02:09I wanted to like her. And I don't have an opinion. It's not like I don't like her. It's just that

02:14like, I don't relate to her because like, I just need to like, get in there a little bit.

02:19Sure. Yeah. The wall has to come down a little bit.

02:22But I get it too. And also accountability. If you can't do the wall coming down,

02:27at least just, it's not about paying people back either. It's just about just,

02:32sorry, like, I'm so sorry if I whatever it is, right? Like, and that is right. I haven't heard

02:38that yet.
