- Dancing skill and online support both matter.

## Summary

Andy Richter predicts that the next stages of Dancing with the Stars could bring a surprise elimination, even for a contestant many viewers expect to reach the final. He says the competition is hard to call because strong dancing and a large online following do not always belong to the same contestants.

The article says seven couples remain for Week 9’s “Grammy Night”, performing to Grammy-winning and nominated songs. Richter, who competed for nine weeks in Season 34 and now hosts the show’s official podcast, said he speaks with eliminated contestants; the piece also recounts his friend Aaron Karo’s joke that Richter kept predicting his own early exit.
