Guillermo Rodriguez, Jimmy Kimmel's longtime sidekick, was eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars" Season 35 on the episode that aired Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, becoming the sixth couple sent home this season, according to Yahoo Entertainment and Hollywood Reporter recaps. He and professional partner Witney Carson were voted off after Rodriguez scored 13 of 30 points from the judges that week, continuing a pattern of low judges' scores that he had offset in earlier weeks with strong audience support; he had previously tied for the second-lowest judges' score in the show's history. The night's top score, 36 of 40, was shared by Jenna Dewan with partner Val Chmerkovskiy and Ezra Frech with partner Daniella Karagach. Rodriguez's exit ended a run in which he had survived multiple elimination rounds despite consistently ranking near the bottom of the judges' leaderboard, a gap that drew public criticism from fans and fellow competitors who argued it was unfair to higher-scoring dancers. The community largely anticipated this outcome, with 67% expecting his elimination, correctly judging that his combination of low judges' scores and a deep remaining field of stronger dancers would finally outweigh the fan-vote cushion that had carried him through several prior weeks.
