Dancing with the Stars Season 33: A Star-Studded Cast, But a Questionable Choice

-article> The highly-anticipated season 33 of Dancing with the Stars is just around the corner, and the revelations keep coming. The official cast was finally revealed on a recent episode of Good Morning America, and the lineup is nothing short of impressive. Fans will get to see a diverse range of celebrities, from the world of entertainment to sports and beyond, all vying for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. But amidst all the excitement, one particular casting choice has sparked controversy and left many questioning the decision. First, the excitement. The season 33 cast boasts an all-star lineup, including talented celebrities like Jenn Tran from the Bachelorette, actress Tori Spelling, Olympic athlete Ilona Maher, former NFL player Danny Amendola, and many more. Each week, these stars will pair up with professional dancers and compete against one another to impress the judges and win the audience's vote. The series, hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, has a long history of entertaining audiences and providing a platform for celebrities to showcase their hidden talents. However, not everyone is thrilled about this season's cast. Anna Delvey, the infamous convicted fraudster, has also been cast in season 33, leaving many to question the reasoning behind this choice. Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was convicted of grand larceny and other financial crimes in 2019 after she pretended to pose as a fake German heiress. It has come to light that she was granted special permission by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to participate in the show, which has sparked widespread criticism. The hosts of The View were particularly vocal in their disapproval, with Whoopi Goldberg expressing her shock and disappointment at the decision. "What the hell, man?" she asked during a recent episode, echoing the sentiments of many. "Is there a two-tiered system here with ICE?" The talk show hosts questioned how Delvey was granted permission to appear on the show when she is currently facing deportation. Alyssa Farah Griffin, another host on The View, even went as far as to warn the other contestants on Dancing with the Stars to "be wary" of Delvey's "schemes." Despite the controversy surrounding Anna Delvey's casting, the rest of the season 33 lineup promises to bring a lot of excitement to the show. Danny Amendola, the former NFL player, has already shown off his dancing skills on Good Morning America, and Olympian Ilona Maher is expected to bring a high level of energy and athleticism to the competition. Fans of the Bachelorette franchise will be thrilled to see Joey Graziadei and Jenn Tran taking to the dance floor, while actor Tori Spelling is sure to bring some glamour and star power to the show. The premiere of season 33 of Dancing with the Stars is set for September 17 on ABC and Disney+, and fans are eagerly anticipating the first episode. Will the show's reputation for entertainment and excitement be enough to overshadow the controversy surrounding Anna Delvey's casting? One thing is for sure – with a star-studded lineup and the usual mix of music, dance, and competition, this season of Dancing with the Stars is going to be one to watch. As the show's popularity endures, even after numerous seasons, it is indeed one of television's true treasures. As always the cast is diverse and when we all pile up into that ballroom on September 17, the excitement is guaranteed and then some. While this season might bring with it its fair share of controversy there's one undeniable certainty - it will be entertaining. If you can't make it to the show in person, you can always stream the whole ordeal on a device of your choice, courtesy of the various platforms carrying it - Disney+, and even Hulu. With that in mind, good luck to all contestants this season - they will all assuredly need it. As ABC keeps touting the best is yet to come this season - we most definitely can't wait.
