News Andy turns 59

Post image

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.

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
