About this episode

Guillermo Rodriguez nearly quit Dancing With the Stars before it even started—telling Andy Richter he wanted to go home and begging fans not to vote for him. Paired with reigning champ Witney Carson, he battled self-doubt and crushing low scores, even panicking when his name wasn’t called for elimination. But now? He’s fully committed, grinding through rehearsals while juggling Jimmy Kimmel Live! filming—and Witney says his work ethic speaks volumes. What began as a desperate escape has turned into a determined comeback, proving that sometimes the biggest wins come after you almost walk away.
