DWTS Fifth Judge: Julia Fox Surprise, Anna Delvey Flop && Plus, Shocking Second Elimination

With a double-elimination looming, the pressure was on for everyone competing on Dancing with the Stars. Almost everyone rose to the occasion, too, though that didn't stop the night from ending with the first big shocking elimination of the season. The biggest talk coming out of last week's premiere was everything to do with convicted con artist Anna Delvey, from why she's on the show at all to what even is going on with her. Anna seems completely disconnected from this whole experience, but that's also how she's appeared in interviews and pretty much everywhere you see her. Producers clearly saw that she wasn't going to endear herself to anyone on her own, so they brought in someone who knows all about weathering the press in Julia Fox. The actress and fashionista did more talking than Anna did in her rehearsal package. But could any of it stop what seems inevitable, or would viewers perhaps hate-vote to keep Anna's journey alive? Long story short, nope. With an Oscars theme for the night, the stars got to wax poetic about their connections to the movies as we saw some of the most iconic music from those soundtracks bring their latest dances to life. While last week's highlight for us was Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach's height disparity, we think Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten's tandem lifts was our surprise highlight this week. These athletes are really charming their ways into our hearts. But that doesn't mean their safe from being judged! Fair warning, since I'm safe at home, I'm probably going to be a little harsher than my colleagues Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. But I might be nicer, too. Maybe. (Tango - "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)," Fergie, Q-Tip & GoonRock) [from The Great Gatsby]) We don't need a little hop to telegraph that you've gotten back into hold, but that was just one piece of her overall franticness. She looked like she wasn't yet on her mark when the camera hit her and the music started, which could be because we later learned the music wasn't hitting the floor the way it was needed so they could hear. That droopy elbow from rehearsal cropped up (or should we say down) from time to time, too. It was a little over-energized, but there were also solid bits to work on. Judges Scores: 6, 6, 7 My Score: 6 (Waltz - "The Godfather Waltz," Nino Rota & Carlo Savina [from The Godfather]) Eric doesn't even have the stance and presence when he stands there like a dancer. He should be presenting something even in that position, and he's just kind of there. It's all very stiff, with arms alternating from some grace to being flung bout as he lumbers into various positions. He can recall the steps and what he's supposed to be doing, with some assists from Britt along the way, but he does so with zero finesse. Her grace only exacerbates his awkward stiffness, which never loosened up, though Carrie Ann suggested chronic pain is a factor there. At least he's out there doing, he's just not doing nearly enough. Judges Scores: 6, 4, 5 My Score: 3 (Jive - "Danger Zone," Kenny Loggins [from Top Gun]) Props to Danny for really coming out here and putting himself into this dance. He really surprised us with just how much hop and bounce we were getting out of him on the straight jive portions. The kicks and flicks could use a little more follow-through, and his arms need to dance with those legs, but we could see the effort and the style coming through. He seemed more comfortable out there -- don't look at the camera, though -- and confident in what he's capable of. If he keeps up this level of effort and commitment, he could become a dark horse. Judges Scores: 7, 7, 7 My Score: 6 (Quickstep - "Suddenly I See," KT Tunstall [from The Devil Wears Prada]) Julia Fox dropped by for a pick-me-up, telling Ezra, "When you're young, you might do some things that you're ashamed of later, but it all happened to you so publicly, so it's only right that we now get to see your moment." She then said to the camera that all the people being nasty would be "all for a second chance" if this were their daughter, sister, or mother." DWTS is doing everything they can to try and get audiences to embrace Anna -- except let Anna win anyone over with her own personality. Julia dominated the rehearsal package, calling Anna's "tough exterior … a defense mechanism." Her reluctance to engage as part of the dance's story was a smart move on Ezra's part, as it protected her lack of engagement for a bit. Once they got into the dance, she did a good job of keeping up with the frantic pace. We still don't see quite as much commitment as we need, but this is a dance you applaud just getting through mostly on time. Anna's biggest enemy is her own unwillingness -- or inability -- to take down her walls and show some genuine feeling or emotion out there. It's all so calculated, whi
