Overview
- Guillermo Rodriguez and pro Witney Carson were voted off in week five after earning a 22 out of 40 for a Super Bowl‑themed salsa.
- Their final routine opened with Witney performing prolonged air splits while Guillermo walked beneath her, a stunt that drew strong attention and behind‑the‑scenes footage.
- Carson, who competed while pregnant and said she was medically cleared, admitted she feared having to perform full‑term and described growing physical and emotional exhaustion late in the run.
- The duo generated unusually high online viewership—reports cited roughly 719,000 YouTube views—and Jimmy Kimmel’s repeated promotion of Guillermo produced measurable vote surges.
- After the elimination the partners traded gratitude and gifts, peers expressed surprise at their exit, and Guillermo said he had planned to honor Jimmy Kimmel on the show’s upcoming Dedication Night.
