"Erin Andrews has her reasons for joining ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ and they’re not all about dance," Jay Bobbin writes, adding, "The ESPN reporter who faced scandal last year — after she was unknowingly videotaped through a hotel-door peephole — will join other celebrity contenders including Winter Olympics gold-medalist figure skater Evan Lysacek, astronaut Buzz Aldrin and latest television ‘Bachelor’ Jake Pavelka when the 10th season of the ABC contest starts Monday, Mar. 22." Bobbin quotes Andrews: "It was just so hard when I was asked to do it. Everything was going on with my situation, and everything is still going on. My sister and my parents were like, ‘Why are you hiding? Are you kidding? This is something you’ve wanted to do. If you want to, go do it.’"
