The judges gave him a 10 out of 30, which is the second-lowest score ever. It&#8217;s just two points higher than Master P and his partner Ashley DelGrosso&#8217;s eight out of 30.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Guillermo has survived two eliminations despite getting the lowest score both weeks,&#8221; Jimmy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/jimmy-kimmel-5k-promise-for-guillermo-dwts-win\/\">explained during Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>. &#8220;You know how Mr. Magoo would kind of blindly walk through a construction site and come out unscathed? That&#8217;s Guillermo every week now on Dancing With the Stars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s become such an icon these past two weeks, with viewers rallying behind him. &#8220;This is a real Cinderella story. Nobody thought Guillermo could succeed,&#8221; Jimmy explained. &#8220;And yet, somehow, he has made it to week three like a human Air Bud. We&#8217;re all behind him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy also made a shocking announcement in support of Guillermo. He promised $5,000 to every audience member at the Jimmy Kimmel Live taping if Guillermo wins the show: &#8220;Every vote counts. So vote for Guillermo. And this is my promise. if Guillermo wins Dancing with the Stars, I will give every American in this theatre a check for $5,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, the theme for week three is Yacht Rock Night. Guillermo and Witney will be dancing the foxtrot to Escape (The Pi\u00f1a Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes.<\/p>\n<p>Guillermo scored a meek 12 out of 30 for his week two Paso Doble to Where Have You Been by Rihanna. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/entertainment\/tv-shows\/a73850350\/dancing-with-the-stars-season-35-week-2-guillermo-rodriguez\/\">Viewers were outraged<\/a> over this low score, with one commenting on Instagram: &#8220;I don&#8217;t say this lightly&#8230;
