Guillermo Rodriguez is officially out of Dancing With the Stars season 35, and the exit is getting more attention than most finales. He and pro partner Witney Carson were eliminated on October 13, just one night after earning their highest score of the season, a 22 out of 40 for their salsa to Bad Bunny’s“Tití Me Preguntó”on Super Bowl Night.
The elimination sparked plenty of fan frustration, since Guillermo had spent five weeks improving and clearly won over the audience even when the judges weren’t impressed. Then Jimmy Kimmel added fuel to the fire on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, asking his longtime sidekick whether he’d accept the results or take legal action. Guillermo’s answer?“I think we should take legal action.”Witney agreed, and the internet ate it up.
Beyond the jokes, Guillermo walked away with something real. He hit the weight loss goal he set before joining the show, and Witney, who is five months pregnant with her third child, stuck by him through every low score and defended him publicly. Fans are now watching to see if he gets a proper send-off moment on Kimmel’s show. Do you think the judges got it wrong, or did the right couple go home? Tell us in the comments!
