Grab those tissues because Dancing With the Stars is bringing back Dedication Night.
Each year, the celebrity contestants pay homage to those closest to them — whether it be a parent, spouse, or child — with a series of emotional dances, and there are no dry eyes left in the ballroom. This year is no different, with the stars gearing up for their most heart-wrenching routines yet, and Entertainment Weekly has the details, revealed
Dedication Night is set for Oct. 20, one week after fan-favorite contestant Guillermo Rodriguez left the competition during last week’s Super Bowl Night. He and pregnant pro partner Witney Carson were voted off the show following their salsa to Bad Bunny’s “Tití Me Preguntó” — and the Jimmy Kimmel Live star will definitely be missed by his fellow contestants.
“He is a magnetic human being and just brings love and joy into everything he does,” Ezra Frech told Entertainment Weekly after the Oct. 13 live show. “I’m so sad that he has to go, but he and I will be friends forever.”
The Paralympian discussed their bromance, adding, “That man will be a part of my life forever.”
