DWTS: Guillermo's Samba Shocks Judges With Belly Bump!

On Tuesday, October 6, Dancing With the Stars featured its inaugural Mariah Carey night, where celebrity contestants performed routines set to the music icon's anthems. Jimmy Kimmel Live! personality Guillermo Rodriguez, alongside professional dancer Witney Carson, chose to perform a samba to Carey's 2009 hit 'Obsessed.' The performance opened with the pair sporting sunglasses and a confident swagger, reminiscent of celebrity photographers. Their routine, lasting less than 90 seconds, concluded with a memorable belly bump that garnered a strong audience reaction.

However, the judges' reception contrasted sharply with the audience's enthusiasm. Judge Carrie Inaba questioned Guillermo's perceived lack of joy, while Bruno Tonioli critiqued his dance technique. This led to a score of 13 out of a possible 30. Despite the critical feedback, Guillermo and Witney Carson were safe from elimination and advanced to the next week of the competition. 'Obsessed' was originally released in 2009 as part of Carey's album 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel' and reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
