DWTS Star Gains 10 Pounds Despite Grueling Dances
10 Sep
Summary
- Guillermo Rodriguez has gained ten pounds during DWTS rehearsals.
- He attributes weight gain to eating after intense daily practices.
- Rodriguez joined DWTS hoping to achieve weight loss goals.
Guillermo Rodriguez, a familiar face from Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is experiencing an unexpected side effect from his participation in Dancing With the Stars: a ten-pound weight gain. Rodriguez revealed this to Jimmy Kimmel during the September 8, 2026, episode of the late-night show. He explained that his rigorous rehearsal schedule, which includes dancing for three hours a day for the past five days, leaves him extremely hungry.
This intense physical activity has led Rodriguez to eat immediately after practices, contributing to his current weight gain. Despite this setback in his personal weight loss aspirations, the 55-year-old star finds the overall experience of competing for the Mirrorball Trophy to be a lot of fun, even though his body aches. He had joined the show with the specific goal of losing weight, having heard from many past contestants that DWTS typically aids in significant weight reduction.
