Terrell Owens and Cheryl Burke dance next, performing a foxtrot to “Pillow Talk” by Zayn Malik. Owens becomes frustrated, explaining that learning to dance is like learning a foreign language and that his experience in football cannot help him in any way.
Carrie Ann Inaba says the dance was steamy, adding that Owens was very committed to his movements. Len Goodman calls the dance a bit too “raunchy,” especially on a night where elegance and sophistication are supposed to reign supreme. Bruno Tonioli calls the dance a “sextrot.” They score a 20 out of 30.
Watch Terrell Owens and Cheryl Burke’s Sexy Foxtrot
It’s Ballroom Night on the “Dancing with the Stars” dance floor! On Monday night, 13 couples will dance a tango, quickstep, foxtrot or Viennese waltz to both classics and recent hits alike. One couple will be sent home tonight and another couple will be sent home during Tuesday’s Latin Night as part of this season’s first double elimination. Terrell Owens and Cheryl Burke and Barbara Corcoran and Keo Motsepe are at the bottom of the leaderboard, while Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold and Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas tied for the top spot with 22 out of 30 points during last week’s sparkling premiere.

Not liking #DWTS's Terrell & Cheryl's dance. Crybaby Terrell Owens is full of raunch, tantrums, & has no class. I love Barbara Corcoran!

#Cheryl&Terrell. Kind of agree with Len, but was nice of them to admit they were wrong last week. Think they gave him his points back🙄#DWTS
