Witney Carson wants to clear up some of the drama.

In recent weeks on Dancing with the Stars, her faces have gone viral when she learns that Guillermo Rodriguez, her celeb, has made it through to another week. If you don’t know, Witney is pregnant with her third child and still competing each week.

Witney Carson Addresses the Faces She Makes When She Learns They’re Safe on DWTS

“Every week, Guillermo and I have been put in ‘the bottom three,’ which doesn’t necessarily mean all those couples have the lowest votes,” Witney said in a new TikTok. “But it does mean that you don’t get to celebrate that you’re safe; you only get to hear who’s going home.”

She addressed the faces she make that have gone viral on social media after it’s announced that she and Guillermo are safe. She said the reason she may look disappointed, and not happy, is because she is “genuinely sad for the people going home.”

“My first initial reaction is sad for whoever is going home, and then, obviously, we celebrate…but they don’t really show that bit. So, yes, I am very happy that we’re continuing on,” Witney added.

She acknowledged, “He really deserves [to still be competing]. He’s genuinely a kind person, he genuinely wants to get better. He never gives up. Any time I’m resting in rehearsals, he’s practicing. Any time we’re at TVC [the studio] and we’re just hanging out, he’s practicing. What you see on Tuesdays is his very best, and I think there’s a lot to say about someone who may not have the skills but is willing to learn and put in the work. That’s an amazing thing, and he deserves it.”

She shared, “Thanks to everyone who’s concerned about my health and the baby’s health while dancing…dancing I’ve done for a very long time. I know how far to push my body and the baby’s health has always been my number one priority. I have no reserves when it comes to speaking up about physically overdoing it, which I do not feel that way at all and the show is more than willing to help out in any capacity.”

She said she overall feels good, just “more tired than usual.”
