Why Pregnant Witney Carson Was “Very Content” With Guillermo Rodriguez’s DWTS Elimination
Guillermo Rodriguez was all in on his Dancing With the Stars journey.
That’s because, while the Kimmy Kimmel Live! star may not have won the season 35 Mirrorball Trophy during his time on the ABC reality competition series, he made major lifestyle changes to get into dancing shape, including giving up alcohol.
“For two months, I didn’t have anything to drink,” Guillermo told E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes during an exclusive interview at the 2026 Dia De Muertos Gala Presented by Lexus in Los Angeles Oct. 27. “For two months, I lost weight. I was so good. I was like a bunny rabbit. I was eating kale salad, romaine salad. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I want real food!'”
Still, spending so much time on the dance floor with pro Witney Carson rehearsing their routines—not to mention the live shows—began to take a toll on the 55-year-old and the pregnant pro.
“I think we were tired,” Guillermo—who became the fifth star eliminated this season during the Oct. 13 episode—reflected. “I tried my best. Dancing is not easy.”
