dancing with the stars‘ 35^Day The season continues according to the 2026 TV schedule, and Tuesday night was definitely a trip. The Super Bowl took the ballroom by storm with a slew of dances inspired by the halftime performers, and of course the night ended in elimination. While Jimmy Kimmel’s beloved sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez is officially headed home, we can’t stop thinking about that nostalgic dance that Julia Stiles did.

What Guillermo said about his elimination

Guillermo and partner Witney Carson have received the lowest judge scores each week since the season began. Additionally, the two have been ranked in the ‘bottom three’ every week, but have barely managed to avoid it before. Despite their best dance being the Salsa to the Bad Bunny hit, Guillermo and Carson were ultimately eliminated at the end of the episode. Kimmel, who has shown his support for his co-stars every week and applauded their haters, interviewed the two. Jimmy Kimmel Live! After removal. He jokingly wondered if he would have to take legal action before asking Guillermo if he had achieved what he set out to achieve.

I think I’ll have to take legal action… Jimmy, I said I would lose weight, but I lost weight.

As someone who enjoyed Guillermo every week, I’m sad that he was eliminated even though I knew he would show up. Fans were mixed about his participation in the competition. Sure, he was the favorite, but many people were upset that Guillermo stayed on for so long because other couples with better dancing skills were eliminated. People also claimed that they were disappointed that Carson wasn’t eliminated, but she canceled the broadcast on social media and had nothing but praise for her partner.

They’re no longer competing, but they’ll have their last dance together in the finale, so at least they have something to look forward to. Anyway, it’s good to know that Guillermo lost weight. Because this was clearly the TV personality’s goal.

Now it’s time to talk about Julia Stiles and save the last dance.

Guillermo’s elimination may have brought heartbreak to the ballroom, but it also brought a very strong performance on Super Bowl night. Julia Stiles, for example, gave a powerful and nostalgic performance. She and partner Ezra Sosa danced jazz to Jennifer Lopez’s “Jenny from the Block” remix, and everything from their outfits to their chairography was incredible. What was even more surprising was that he nodded. save the last dance, And that was it:

It’s been 25 years since Sarah Johnson auditioned for Juilliard’s beloved film, and Styles’ dance proved she still has the chops. Juilliard may have shaded Stiles after people jokingly pointed out that she went to the prestigious performing arts conservatory, but she had no problem showing off her skills. It was only a matter of time before the beloved movie came along, and she and Sosa included it in one of their dances, and we’re so glad they made it before it was too late.

As always, dancing with the stars It’s been a roller coaster, but Super Bowl Night made it clear that the best is yet to come as everyone brought it to the ballroom. It’ll be hard to see Guillermo without some interesting moves, but at least he’ll be back. Jimmy Kimmel Live!
