Anna Delveyand her ankle monitor have returned to the ballroom!

After being the first one eliminated onDancing with the Starsseason 33, convicted con artist Delvey, 33, appeared at the Nov. 26 finale with her partnerEzra Sosa.

Delvey was carried onto the stage as she mouthed the words to the famous song before their dance quickly came to an end.

“You know, I’ve got nothing,” hostJulianne Houghlater joked.

Sosa, 24, posted a video onTikTokon Monday, Nov. 25, from his rehearsal with Delvey, in which he mouthed to her, “How many people do you know that are currently in the prison system?”

“Um, I’m pretty sure just two,” Delvey mouthed while jokinglyflipping him offwith both hands.

Delveycompeted with an ankle braceletas she remains under house arrest as a dispute about her deportation remains ongoing. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement granted Delvey, whose real name is real name Anna Sorokin, special permission to compete onDWTSahead of theseason premiere in September.

However, Delvey and Sosa ended up being the first couple eliminated from season 33. When hostJulianne Houghasked Delvey what she learned from competing onDWTS, Delveyfamously replied, “Nothing.”

Delvey explained to Spelling on the Sept. 28 episode of her podcastmisSPELLINGthat she responded that way,“Because that was the truth.”

“You guys told me what I’m supposed to do. I tried to do it and then I still was rejected. And I’m taking away nothing,” Delvey told Spelling, 51. “This is what I’m taking away from it, because your advice was worthless.”

Delvey doubled down on her original reply.

“I really did not take away much from this experience,” she continued onmisSPELLING. “I think I had to be on the defensive, especially after all the backlash that I received being cast on the show, even though the producers [tried] to defend me. And I think everyone on the cast was generally very nice to me. But in the end, I don’t know.”

“So when we’re walking right next to Julianne, she asked her that question, I was — I’m not going to lie — I was a little nervous what she was going to say,” he recalled. “But with what she said, I think it was very iconic.”

The professional dancer loved the response so much that he ended up getting the word “nothing” tattooed on his upper back above the number 33. “I love this cast sm,” Sosa captioned anOct. 5 TikTok videoshowing offthe new ink.

Despite her negative experience on the show, Delveystayed in touchwith Sosa following their Sept. 24 elimination.
