Tori Spelling reflects onDWTSelimination and 'unlikely' friendship with Anna Delvey: 'The big word is just gratitude'

I guess the big word is just ‘gratitude,'" Spelling revealed on her iHeartRadio podcastmisSPELLING.

“Honestly, I loved every second of this experience.

I’m not going to lie.

Did I want to stay longer?

The ballroom gave me such a new take on life and such joy that I wanted to keep going.

I felt like I was just getting started.”

“It’s like [the show] was made for me until it wasn’t.”

Earning among the lowest scores two weeks running, Spelling was sent home.

I felt really good about myself, and that’s all I could do, right?

And I got to show off my flexibility.

But you know, you’ve got the option to’t control how people vote."

She finally reasoned that at the end of the day, “Someone has to go home.

There has to be eliminations.”

I think Anna has a lot of potential," Spelling said on the podcast.

I think she could be a beautiful dancer.

But you know, she has a lot up against her with the public opinion of her."

I had a great experience with her.

Taking everything that’s been written about her, everything that she has done.

It’s just, as a human, I liked the human and I took everything else away."
