Andy Richter's Daughter Questions DWTS Elimination Rules
23 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Richter's stepdaughter questioned why contestants had to go home.
- He competed on Dancing With the Stars until one week before semifinals.
- Richter expressed no regrets about his DWTS performance or elimination.
Andy Richter's recent stint on Dancing With the Stars concluded in week 9, narrowly missing the semifinals despite facing lower judges' scores than some earlier eliminated competitors. His strong fan base, dubbed 'fandys,' propelled him through much of the season. Reflecting on his experience, Richter stated he has "no regrets at all," though he acknowledged experiencing "survivor's guilt" at times.
Richter emphasized that he and other contestants worked to their fullest capacity, making it difficult to understand why some were eliminated over others. His stepdaughter, Cornelia, was particularly vocal about the elimination process, questioning Richter about the necessity of sending contestants home each week. She reportedly assumed all participants would dance throughout the season.
The season finale is set to crown a winner among Elaine Hendrix, Robert Irwin, Jordan Chiles, Alix Earle, and Dylan Efron, with no eliminations occurring as the Mirrorball Trophy is awarded.
