Summary
- Guillermo Rodriguez confessed he wanted to leave 'Dancing With the Stars' early.
- He expressed his desire to go home multiple times before the season began.
- Despite initial hesitation, Rodriguez is now determined to improve and compete.

Guillermo Rodriguez, a contestant on 'Dancing With the Stars' season 35, recently shared that he nearly withdrew from the competition during its initial week. In a candid conversation on the 'Dancing With the Stars Official Podcast,' Rodriguez admitted his strong desire to leave the show early on.
He confessed to podcast host Andy Richter that he repeatedly expressed a wish to go home, even asking not to be voted for. This hesitation stemmed partly from partnering with reigning champion Witney Carson and concerns about his ability to perform.
However, as the competition progresses into its second week, Rodriguez's perspective has shifted significantly. He is now eager to learn, practice, and perform better, expressing his commitment to improving after his initial low score.
Carson, Rodriguez's professional dance partner, confirmed his growing dedication. She noted that despite his initial weariness and demanding schedule filming 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Rodriguez is actively putting in the necessary work and time, indicating a genuine desire to succeed in the competition.
