Jackson Olson Knocked Guillermo's Dancing on TikTok. Then They Danced Together.

The Savannah Bananas player's 'Dancing With the Stars' apology is set to Hannah Montana's 'Nobody's Perfect,' and Rodriguez joins in.

Halfway through Jackson Olson's apology video, the man he's apologizing to walks into it: Guillermo Rodriguez joins in, and the two of them dance.

Olson is a Savannah Bananas player competing on season 35 of "Dancing With the Stars." He posted the clip to Instagram on Tuesday, set to Hannah Montana's "Nobody's Perfect," E! News reported. It was a public sorry to Rodriguez, the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" star, for a comment Olson had made about Rodriguez's dancing. Olson has since deleted it.

The dig was on TikTok, not on the show. On Oct. 3, the Loco Beach Coconuts posted a video of player Erik Ostberg doing a joke version of the routine Rodriguez and his pro partner, Witney Carson, danced on Yacht Rock Night on Sept. 29. According to Cosmopolitan, as cited by E! News, Olson tagged Ostberg under it and wrote: "but seriously how did you do this better than him with 2 hours of rehearsal."

That's a risky target. Rodriguez and Carson are fan favorites, E! News reported, and on this show, fans don't just cheer. They vote, and their votes decide who stays.

Olson's caption didn't hedge. "To G and to all of you, from the bottom of my heart I am so sorry about my comment I made the other day and that it caused this much negativity," he wrote. He said he loves Rodriguez and asked everyone to get back to what the show is about: dancing. Olson's own partner this season is Emma Slater.

By Tuesday, Olson was the No. 1 search in the U.S., and "<a href="/how-to-vote-for-dancing-with-the-stars-before-6-45-p-m-in-l">Dancing with the Stars vote</a>" was trending in California. The apology went up on a show night.

For a sense of who's voting, look at John Oliver's house. On the Oct. 1 "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the late-night host told Rodriguez that his two sons, 10 and 8, had never watched "Dancing With the Stars" until Rodriguez joined it, and are now obsessed. The boys go to bed before the judges' scores come in.

One night, Oliver said, his 8-year-old came into the room at 4 a.m. rubbing his eyes, and Oliver assumed he'd had a nightmare. Instead, Oliver told Rodriguez, the boy just asked: "Is Guillermo still in?"
