00:00Week one in the books, how are you feeling now?
00:03I feel relieved it's over.
00:05It was exciting, I was a little bit nervous.
00:07I feel like I could have done much better doing my dance,
00:10but I also never performed live,
00:12so it was my first time performing in front of an audience.
00:16How do you feel about her performance?
00:18She honestly messed up a couple of steps,
00:21but for her first time being in front of an on-camera audience,
00:25she did a really good job.
00:27But for me it's really good to see how she reacts to all that
00:29so I can better accommodate to that.
00:32You are coming in with all these preconceived notions about you.
00:36What are you hoping to show fans
00:38throughout this journey on Dancing with the Stars?
00:41Hopefully I will get to show them a different side of myself,
00:46and hopefully people will give me a chance to move on with my life
00:50because I repaid my restitution and I served my time.
00:55We bedazzled the ankle monitor.
00:57It seems to match your current outfit.
00:59Do you want to show it?
01:03Does it match the vibe?
01:04Yeah, I might be wearing one, we might be putting fringe on it.
01:07There's just so much to play with here and I'm very excited about it.
01:11Up in the box you said that you were happy,
01:14you don't have to do this dance again,
01:16but there's more dancing ahead.
01:18How do you feel about this journey?
01:20I meant this exact dance because we've heard this song so many times
01:24and they've been dancing it over and over and over again
01:26and I'm just excited to move on to the next one.
01:29But I think after she learns it, she might miss this one.
01:34It almost seems like you have such a dry sense of humor,
01:38but I think it attracts people.
01:40I think you're really funny.
01:42Do you hope that that helps boost your scores,
01:45that people vote for you more because of that?
01:47I hope so, yes.
01:52For her being on the show,
01:53I don't want her to change any part of who she is.
01:55I just want her to open up more
01:57and her dry personality is who she is.
02:00So if people don't like that, it is what it is.
02:02But I do think that there's a bunch of people out there
02:05that appreciate Anna for being Anna Delvey
02:07and I'm one of those people.
