Guillermo Rodriguez Details Bond With DWTS Cast After Elimination

“It was fantastic,” he said. “I thought it was gonna be hard, but it was too hard. It was very hard, but you know what? I was having fun every day that I go and dance every Tuesday.”

And he has no regrets about lacing up his dancing shoes each week. As he put it, “I would do my best.”

Meanwhile, Carson—who is expecting her third baby with husband Carson McAllister—was surprised they stuck around on the dance competition series as long as they had.

“I never thought in a million years I would be competing on Dancing with the Stars 20 weeks pregnant, but Guillermo made it possible for me to do that,” she told E!. “It was empowering to see what my body could do each week.”

But the 32-year-old admitted that she and Rodriguez were struggling to keep up by the end of week five.

“Towards the end there,” she explained, “we were both breaking down a little bit, but you know what? Women are amazing. It’s just a testament to what we can do and what we’re capable of.”

And the late-night talk show star echoed the pro’s statements, adding, “She’s the best. Women can do anything they want.”
