NFL great Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska take the stage next. Yay! Edyta is definitely my favorite, favorite pro, and I've always thought the football players have done well. In rehearsal, Edyta shows him the shoes he's going to wear while dancing, and he's not too thrilled about the heels. He's afraid to look funny on the dance floor, but I have faith that he'll be great in Edyta's hands. They dance the cha cha cha tonight, and I'm really impressed with him already. His movements are confident. Plus, Edyta's costume is weirdly fringed and definitely cool. I'm a fan. Carrie Ann isn't all that impressed, though, and says that he needs to be more on the offensive. Len compliments Lawrence on his natural ease, but Bruno says that he's a bit too laid-back and needs to attack the movements more. Is it me, or is Len actually going to be the nice judge this season? The scores: Carrie Ann gives 6, Len gives 5 and Bruno gives 5, for a 16 out of 30. The thing is, I think the judges are purposely under-scoring him because he's a football player. I thought he definitely did better than a 16.
