ESPN's Andrews Dons A Blindfold For "Dancing"

It looks like e-mail death threats aren't enough to stop ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews in her bid for success on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars." The 31-year-old performed a Waltz with Maksim Chmerkovskiy during Monday's broadcast while wearing a blindfold for a portion of the dance. In an exchange with Andrews, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said the prop gave Andrews' performance an element of danger. The judges were happy with Andrews' efforts overall, giving her one of the night's highest scores, 23 out of a possible 30 points. The high combined score marks a "comeback" of sorts for the TV personality. CNN has reported that Andrews' attorney Marshall Grossman says his client's been under constant security following reports of the e-mail threats. Andrews and her "Dancing" competitors will find out who will continue in competition on the "Dancing With the Stars" results show on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC.
