Kim K. Traumatized by DWTS; Fan Fave Loved It
16 Oct
Summary
- Kim Kardashian found her 2008 DWTS experience traumatic.
- Guillermo Rodriguez adored his recent DWTS journey.
- Celebrities have varied, lasting impacts from DWTS.
For many celebrities, "Dancing with the Stars" offers an unforgettable experience. Fan favorite Guillermo Rodriguez, who was recently eliminated from the 2026 season, shared his fond memories of the show. However, not all participants have such positive recollections.
Reality star Kim Kardashian competed on the show in 2008 during the height of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Despite her brief three-week appearance with partner Mark Ballas, the experience has evidently stuck with her, and not in a good way. Kardashian recently recounted on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that her time on DWTS was traumatic.
In stark contrast, Rodriguez, alongside his partner Witney Carson, thoroughly enjoyed his journey on the show. They consistently shared fun TikToks, appearing to have a fantastic time. Even his elimination was met with cheers, reflecting his positive attitude throughout the competition.
DWTS impacts each contestant differently, contributing to its seasonal entertainment value. The physical and mental demands can have lasting effects on celebrities and professional dancers alike, even years after they've left the ballroom.
