'Dancing With the Stars' Erin Andrews: Death threats and blindfolds -- oh my!

Poor Erin Andrews has had a rough week.

First the ESPN sportscaster discovered she's been getting death threats dating back to September 2009 via a radio show.

So then "Dancing With the Stars" beefed up security around her at the show and during her performance ... for which she got blindfolded.

Nothing like losing your sight when you know someone's after you.

But it did make for a fun -- and impressive -- twist on her waltz. The judges, however, had mixed reactions.

On opposite ends of the spectrum, Carrie Ann Inaba called it "breathtakingly artistic," while Len Goodman labeled it "boring" with "not enough waltz."
