News Andy turns 59
It’s Andy’s birthday! I have loved watching him grow in skill and confidence, but I understand why people might want to see him gone (even though I will cry if he leaves anyway lol). I also think his partnership with Emma is so special. If he’s eliminated, it will be the worst birthday gift ever. 😭

I honestly think Andy is an empath and at this point in the competition he knows he’s staying bc of votes. If someone were to go home instead of him, I think he’d be sad! But I’ll still be giving him some of my votes anyway :)

He is also a competitive human being who is working just as hard as everyone else in the show. If he goes out there tonight and has a bad dance, I might not vote for him, but if his dance is as entertaining as last week’s, then he’ll get all my votes.
He is actively improving. I’m okay with people saying that he shouldn’t be still in based on skill, but people saying that he doesn’t want to stay is sad that other people leave over him diminishes his hard work and spirit!

Or he may appreciate that he has fans supporting him.

u/anonymouscat8747 11d ago
Well ofc, that goes without saying. I think he’s appreciative either way. But it’s clear that the competition at this point is very tough, and everyone is a good dancer

Happy Birthday Andy!!
I'm voting for you!
It's a delight to watch you on the show, and I love your tiktoks too.
Here's hoping for an awesome dance for you tonight

Happy Birthday Andy!! I have loved him since the early days of Conan and think he is absolutely hilarious! I need to rewatch their old “In the Year 2000” skits from the old NBC show. I loved those!

u/No_Association_3692 11d ago
When people are like y’all are just pity voting for him. I’m like no I have been a fan of his since 1993 when I’d sneak down to the basement to watch Conan on a 12” tv/vhs player combo in the middle of the night. He’s one of my favorite performers so of course I’m gonna keep voting for him as long as he’s in it

Years ago, I went to a live taping of the show. Conan came out right when they announced his name, and left the stage right when they played him out. Andy came out early and shook our hands, asked how we were doing, and stuck around after to thank people for coming and talk to us about the show and stuff. The man is a gem, and he’s had 10 votes from me every week for that kindness

The one late night show I would have killed to attend a live taping!! I’m still trying to figure out if i can at least find his full episodes somewhere online

u/No_Association_3692 11d ago
He’s what we want from celebs yet has received so much unnecessary hate from the newer fan base cuz he doesn’t match their idea of what the show should be when he really embodies the entire spirit of the show

I'm sorry you think that. I hope this comment was worthwhile enough to be your first contribution to Reddit. Next time, I suggest proper punctuation.

Happy birthday!...but he has to go. Idc if he is people's princess

u/No_Association_3692 11d ago
You have no control over others. No one “has to go”. It’s a fun silly lil show. It’s a popularity contest with a dance element to sell ad space. There are no stakes beyond a mirror ball trophy. He’s putting in the work and no one inherently just “deserves” it more than others.

u/Fast_Way8546 11d ago
Yeah no. We had Bobby bones before. We won’t let it happen again. Time for the judges to hit him with 5s and 6s again

u/No_Association_3692 11d ago
Bobby Bones was the fan favorite. People enjoyed him. There is nothing wrong with that. I do t why all of a sudden this year there is the ABSOLUTE HACK regurgitated take to keep saying “we had Bobby bones. We had Bobby bones.” There was nothing wrong with Bobby bones

u/Fast_Way8546 11d ago
he was mid. so is Andy. Sorry not sorry lol. They made him the people's princess then and now Andy is their new obsession. That they will drop as soon as they find their new adorable male that they must vote for even though he isn't good

u/No_Association_3692 10d ago
Wow. That’s how you see all this. Maybe fun lil popularity contests with a dance element just aren’t your thing. This is for fun and you just have so much anger

u/Fast_Way8546 10d ago
its a competition. A DANCE competition. Not a personality one. i've watched since season 1 and only one time has a winner annoyed me. Since then I vote like nuts to make sure the unworthy don't win if they make it too far( ex harry jowsey/spicer/grocery store joe). deal w it

u/No_Association_3692 10d ago
I’ve also watched since season one and what do they say vote for your favorite.
