Old School. Biblically Independent.

Dancing with the Stars is back, and because I love my daughters (sometimes), I’m back on the couch on Tuesday nights. Candidly, I’m kind of into it. Andy Richter and his terrible dancing skills carried us through most of last season.
Guillermo Rodriguez is an even worse dancer. He may ultimately be even more beloved. I didn’t need convincing: I’m already Team Guillermo. He will get all my pity votes this season. And I very much doubt that I’m alone, because the judges loved him (despite his terrible scores), and even my daughters—who loathed Andy Richter (“He looks like a villain”)—love Guillermo. “Oh my god, he’s so adorable!”
Dude’s got rizz. He can’t dance for sh**, but that didn’t stop Andy Richter from making the top 7. Guillermo could beat that. He is phenomonawful.
My God, I love him.
(Props to Ezra French, too. Dude legit cooked).
Dancing with the Stars airs on Tuesdays (and also tonight for the second part of his premiere, which will include Julie Stiles and Jenna DeWan, which almost seems unfair. But if anyone can take them down, it’s Guillermo!)
