It was a sad farewell last night when Tom Bergeron revealed that the eliminated contestant was popular ‘Dancing with the Stars’ celebrity Andy Dick.
He got chocked-up as he and his pro partner Sharna Burgess learned their fate. The comedian joked, “Carrie Ann I’m going to kill you for the 5. It’s all your fault.”
Then Andy turned serious, “It’s been the best. The fact that we are here in Week 7 is amazing… It’s been a wonderful, wonderful ride.”
During the course of his time on the ABC show, the stand-up comic opened up about his hard fought sobriety and the fact that ‘DWTS’ had enabled him to get a fresh start.
He wore his heart on his sleeve throughout the competition, revealing his vulnerability and his quest to improve each week. The comments resonated with the judges who encouraged him each week despite the fact that his dance skills kept him perpetually at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Six celebrities remain in the competition: Zendaya Coleman, Jacoby Jones, Sean Lowe, Kellie Pickler, Ingo Rademacher and Alexandra Raisman.
