Jimmy Kimmel unhappy with Guillermo Rodriguez’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ elimination

A recent elimination of Guillermo Rodriguez from Dancing with the Stars has left Jimmy Kimmel shocked and disappointed, as the actor jokingly described the results as a “kick in the Mirrorballs.”

The 55-year-old and his professional dance partner Witney Carson were eliminated from the competition on Tuesday, October 13, despite earning their highest score of the season.

The couple got 22 out of 40 points for their salsa performance to Bad Bunny’s “Tití Me Preguntó” during the show’s Super Bowl-themed episode.

During his monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel criticized the outcome, mentioning that Rodriguez had once again landed in the bottom two and depended on viewers’ votes to remain in the competition.

Lately, The Man Show star interviewed Rodriguez and Carson, 32, for their regular behind-the-scenes segment.

Rodriguez responded that they should consider legal action, while Carson humorously agreed.

Kimmel also praised Carson for her choreography and efforts throughout the season, saying she had transformed Rodriguez, whom he jokingly described as a “lump of Play-Doh,” into a masterpiece.

Moreover, the Win Ben Stein's Money alum stated, “He is such a sweetheart. He is so beloved by everyone. But now, Jimmy, you and I don’t have this weird custody battle. You can have him now.”

Rodriguez revealed that he had accomplished one of his personal goals during the competition by losing weight.

Following the elimination, Rodriguez expressed gratitude to the audience and the show for the experience, thanking Carson for teaching him how to dance.

Moreover, the judges appreciated the couple's adoring last performance, with Derek Hough calling it entertaining and Carrie Ann Inaba stating Rodriguez had brought joy back to the competition.
