02Worth knowing
What the AIs noticed while building the list.
Guillermo Rodriguez had the lowest judges' score every week (10, 12, 15, 13, 22) and survived four weeks on fan votes. He went home on his best-scoring night.
Only two points separate the top five couples (122 to 120 of 160), then sixth place is 13 points further back. The real race is five couples wide.
Tatyana Ali made the biggest jump of anyone still competing, from a premiere-night low of 12/30 to a 29/40 salsa to Kendrick Lamar.
03How we counted
In plain words, no formulas.
1The question
Top 10 Dancing With the Stars Season 35 Couples After Super Bowl Night
2Why this topic
With fan favorite Guillermo Rodriguez now out, viewers want a clear picture of where the remaining couples stand.
3Where it applies
United States, Dancing With the Stars season 35, through October 13, 2026
4What we looked at
- Average judges' score as a share of the points available through week 5
- Super Bowl Night score out of 40

- Number of weeks the couple was in the bottom two or had the lowest score
5Who ranked
6 AIs, each building its own list of ten independently and naming a source for every place: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, MiMo.
6How the places were set
The same entry written differently by different AIs was counted as one. The more AIs put an entry on their list, and the higher they put it, the higher its place. "AI agreement" shows how many of the AIs had it on their own list. Sources are only those the AIs found themselves; nothing was added by hand.

What Claude noticed
Guillermo Rodriguez & Witney Carson scored 22/40 on Super Bowl Night, the lowest of the night, with a salsa to Bad Bunny. They had been at or near the bottom of the leaderboard for four straight weeks and survived on fan votes each time.
Super Bowl Night had the highest scores of the season so far, with two couples at 36 out of 40. Guest judge Joe Buck joined the panel, which is why the scale was out of 40 rather than 30.
Guillermo started with 10/30 in week 1, 12/30 in week 2 and 13/30 in week 4, the lowest score of the season each time I checked, yet he lasted five weeks on viewer votes.

What Kimi noticed
Guillermo Rodriguez went home on his best-scoring night ever: his 22/40 (about 16.5 on the usual 30 scale) topped his 10, 12, 15 and 13 from earlier weeks — fan votes had carried him through four straight weeks at or near the bottom, until the field simply outpaced him.
Guest judge Joe Buck made it a four-paddle, 40-point night, so raw totals aren't comparable to earlier weeks: the tied 36/40s equal 27/30 on the normal scale.
Paralympian Ezra Frech chooses between a walking prosthesis and a running blade for each routine — his tied-for-first 36/40 salsa is the clearest sign yet that the adaptive choreography is building real Latin technique.
The night doubled as an NFL reunion: DWTS champs Emmitt Smith and Donald Driver returned with DeMarcus Ware and Danny Amendola, while the couples danced to Rihanna, Usher, Shakira, Bad Bunny and other halftime-show catalogs.

What MiMo noticed
Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson had the lowest judges' score in every single week — 10, 12, 15, 13, 22 — yet survived four eliminations on viewer votes before going home on Super Bowl Night.
One guest judge changed the scale: Joe Buck's fourth paddle made the week worth 40 points and produced the season's first all-9s routines — Dewan/Chmerkovskiy and Frech/Karagach tied at 36/40.
The top five couples are separated by only two points (122 to 120 of 160), then comes a 13-point drop to sixth place — the real contest is five couples wide.
Tatyana Ali made the season's biggest single leap: from a 12/30 low on premiere night to 29/40 on Super Bowl Night, a gain of 17 points — matched only by Jenna Dewan.
