Dancing With the Stars just delivered a textbook reality TV feud and makeup. Jackson Olson, the Savannah Bananas star competing this season, left a shady TikTok comment about fellow contestant Guillermo Rodriguez’s dance moves, joking that a Banana Ball team performed his choreography better with only two hours of rehearsal. The comment spread quickly, and the backlash followed.
Olson didn’t wait it out. He posted an apology video on Instagram, telling Rodriguez and viewers that he was sorry from the bottom of his heart and that he never intended to cause this much negativity. The two then danced together to“Nobody’s Perfect”by Hannah Montana, turning an awkward moment into one of the season’s most wholesome clips.
Both men performed Tuesday night for Mariah Carey Night, and the competition kept its usual intensity. By the end of the episode, Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong were eliminated. The feud is officially over, but the competition is just heating up.
Who are you rooting for this season on DWTS?
