Daniella Karagach let her facial expression speak for her after husband Pasha Pashkov and partner Tori Spelling were eliminated on Dancing With the Stars — and now she’s not holding back on her true feelings.
“They got your face in there just at the nick of time. You were not a happy camper,” Jason Tartick said on the Monday, October 14, episode of his “Trading Secrets” podcast, recalling the moment Pashkov, 38, and Spelling, 51, were sent home.
Karagach, 31, replied, “I was not.”
When discussing the reason behind her reaction, Tartick asked whether Karagach was frustrated because “the further you go [on the show], you can do better” financially.
“No,” Karagach responded. “The frustration was they didn’t even get a chance. Because Tori was working so hard and she was doing so well. I feel like it was cut so short and they were working so hard and so well.”
Karagach said Spelling was “finally getting her breakthrough,” adding, “She’s been through so much and she found so much love in this and so much support that I was pissed off that it was cut short. I was truly pissed off.”
Karagach noted that she’s “ready to fight” for her husband, whom she wed in 2014. “I just did not want him to go,” she explained. “We are lucky we have other things we do, but it’s different when you have your husband here competing with you as well.”
Pashkov and Spelling exited the show during season 33’s week 2 double elimination alongside Anna Delvey and partner Ezra Sosa.
“It was truly an unbelievable journey and experience,” Spelling exclusively told Us Weekly after her September departure. “Obviously, I felt like I was just starting, and I was seeing such a huge change in myself, physically and mentally [and] emotionally. I wanted to keep going, obviously, but I’m grateful I did it.”
Pashkov called DWTS “the most unpredictable show” when it comes to who stays each week. “You never know what’s going to happen. You never know who’s going to go home, who’s going to win at the end of the day. And that’s the beauty of the show,” he told Us. “Sometimes it’s not pleasant when you’re the one eliminated, but at the end of the day, that’s the name of the game and that’s what makes the show so exciting to watch and be part of, because you really don’t know.”
Despite her short stint on the ABC reality competition series, Spelling isn’t ready to say goodbye to the dance floor just yet. She told Us that she will “1,000 percent” continue dancing.
“I don’t know what that looks like, but I would love to [continue],” she noted. “I found something that really gives me joy, and I realized I’m good at it. … I made myself proud.”
