Guillermo Rodriguez, the beloved Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick, and pro partner Witney Carson were eliminated from Dancing With the Stars Season 35 during the Oct. 13 "Super Bowl Night" episode — even after scoring their best marks of the season, a 22 out of 40, for a salsa to Bad Bunny's "Tití Me Preguntó."

Rodriguez had landed at or near the bottom of the judges' leaderboard nearly every week, surviving on fan votes until now. The exit fueled fresh "fix" accusations from fans who felt the show had been propping up other contestants, according to PinkNews.

Kimmel didn't hide his disgust on his own show, joking the result was "an outrage," per Entertainment Now. Rodriguez, for his part, took it in stride: "I had a lot of fun, it was great."
