Wow! I can't believe my comment on Ty's website got so mangled- and now gossip columns hijacked it and put words in my mouth! Go back to my original blog- I like Melissa and think she's gifted (and a real Texas sweetheart), and I adore Steve-O. My comment had nothing to do with either of them. My comment was on a sports website about a rule I have never seen in any type of competition before. Name another sport where if you can't compete, they use your score from practice. Can you imagine an Olympic diver who can't compete for any reason, and so they let them use their practice dives from that day? Or a chess match, for that matter. If Ty were in the same position, I'd still ask the same thing. I am not a mean-spirited person, and I think all my fans know that. Ty and I have fallen in love with all the contestants, and are in awe of how hard they all work. I can tell you that whoever wins this competition will have earned it, as I see firsthand how incredibly hard they all work. So please don't believe what the gossip columns are trying to turn this into. This isn't a catty girl versus girl thing they are trying to make it into- neither I nor Melissa are like that.

We all know that. If you watch the show you can see how devistated Melissa is feeling and I honestly think it's because of what happened. If asked she would probably agree with you that if you can't compete you should not get a score or prize or anything. Stick to your guns girl, we all know what you meant...

I think that rule is crazy too. If they know they are just "marking" during a rehearsal, why would they possibly use that as a judgeable performance? I love that show, but that rule definitely needs to be changed. I'm sure there is some better way they can come up with...

I totally agree with what you said in your original blog and I knew exactly what you meant about not being able to compete and being judged on your practice routine. Bull riders aren't judged on practice rides. If a rider can't get on a bull, he is done for the night. I know someone who used to ride bulls and he has told me about riding hurt and dealing with the pain shooting through his body. I watch bull riding and can't even imagine trying to ride after being thrown off and stomped on by a bull. I also like Melissa and also don't believe it was fair to the other dancers who danced the best they could. I also can't wait for your new music. Best of luck to you and Ty on trying to start a family. ..

They just don't understand LIFE! Life is hard and only the strong make it sometimes. That is the way it was for years! I was so mad when they gave Steve a score. I don't like the show anyway but the way they treat everyone is sicking. Steve should have been out when he could not dance thats LIFE. Then last week when they gave her 7's for not dancing I just about had all I could take! Don't worry about some of these dif. people that just don't know anything about life. Have a good Weekend...

To me.. its drama.. almost like high school drama.. Some people are just too stupid to realize what others say and take it out of context and switch things around to make it sound like you're the complete bitch, when you're not. They're just jealious that they don't have a natural gift like you and Melissa, other than running their mouths and making others look bad. If they ran as fast as their mouths, they'd be in good shape. Don't worry about it.. be the bigger person and let it roll off your shoulder.. cause for those who trutly know you, know you aren't what others say and lie about. ..

I have to wonder if Ballroom competitions are scored that way. I think not. These are just rules they made up because the show is supposed to be entertaining. I don't see anything wrong with your commentary on the scoring of other competitions. The people on the show all work very hard, but it's really a popularity contest at the heart of it...

Name me one gossip writer who has a moral center.....Now I have to admit,I was somewhat surprised that Chuck and Julianne went home but really,this was more of people seeing Julianne not being as focused as in past seasons. Melissa has proven one thing,she WANTS to be there. And thats why she is......

Don't worry about it at all. We all know what you meant, and actually feel the same way to. But as for the gossip columns, that is exactly what it is....GOSSIP. Not many people really believe what they print anyway. Just keep your head up. You are to sweet to let something like this bother you. ....But anyhow we are cheering Ty on. He has improved so much from the beginning. He has Kansas vote for sure!!!! Tell Ty to keep up the good work. It's so exciting to see each week how he has improved. Us Kansas folks will keep calling in our votes for him. ..

Anyone that knows something of you as a person (Meaning Character) know that your "Not" a mean- spirited person. But the gossip columns could care less! Like the late actor Michael Landon, who appeared on the Johnny Carson talk show days before he died, once said of newspapers like the "Inquire" "don't read that trash!" And we should not waste our times reading inter net gossip either! By Dale A. Wilhite - Telluride, Colorado..

It's not suprising the gossip places do that. I'm surprised they didn't take a snip of that one line the other day "I left Ty" and run with that. It's just the way they stoop low to sell magazines. It's good for you to set the record straight for the gossip columns, the fans know the deal anyway. :) Keep on keeping on...

Girl, you are great at saying what you feel, so don't ever change. That is the problem with our media today. They have to make controversies and stories u[. ..I think this is the first season with so many injuries. I have noticed that each season as it gets better, it is also more demanding. This might be why so many injuries...I would have loved to see you on the show, but after seeing what it did to you in the start, I would rather just see you sing. Your a beautiful person and you don't need that physical strain...

Jewel, this has been my response to some of the online gossip people who are trying to make more out of this than it is:....What I hate more than watching injured dancers is reporters who only tell part of the story. Read the whole blog here: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=456785491&blogId=486154306 and I tend to agree with her. The whole Dance Off thing was a joke and letting the judges score on a rehersal where you KNOW they are not putting in their best effort is a bit of a joke. And if you watched Melissa on Tuesday night, her reactions through the whole night and especially at the end, she knew she should have bowed out and saved Chuck. There wasn't/isn't even a guarantee she can dance this week. She was crying at the end of the show and not once did she smile through the show. She knew what the right to do was, she chose not to do it and as a result another really good, healthy dancer got sent home. If you're going to tell a story, tell the WHOLE story...

Pretty sad when you hear things get all tangled up. I always say when that sort of stuff happens and people read into things wrong. That they are a few french fries short of a happy meal. Us, fans know as well as time through out the years realize you are not a gossip girl or one to be too chatty out side of your arena. You can for sure tell that everyone gives it there all on DWTS. The judging was odd last week. Made it kinda awkward and interesting at the same time. I think Ty is getting better and I am enjoying seeing different sides of his personality. Even though you blogged recently about his spray tan. It was funny to see. And the snip it commercials with the DWTS cast was comical. No disrespect Jewel. In Fact it's a complement. Ty sure does look nice =) in a vest. When they did the team dance. Whoaaaaaaa. U lucky gal! :D Well Jewel! Lots o' love to you and thanks for another blog even if it was to set a record straight. Good to see you blogging when you do! ♥ JayJ Santana..

Well, I don't think most of us or most people see it framed how 'they' are framing it. But ya had to kinda expect it considering the sources. Not much of a surprise there especially in light of your scenario & current ties. I obviously agree thoroughly with the simple point or suggestion you offer...which they will eventually be forced to deal with in a better way than they have thus far. I just mention the scenario and the press's view just begs for them to do what they ALWAYS do. I wouldn't even exert and energies to put out this 15 second flash in the pan 'setup'. It's really no surprise at all...

Intelligent people do not believe everything they hear or see in the media. Even news - actual news is sometimes spun in a sort of skewed direction based on the ideologys of that network or newspaper. Nothing is sacred to the media, not even truth. I think this is especially true when it comes to celebrity "news" (aka gossip). Even the slowest humans would hopefully question what they read and take it with a grain of salt. That is of course easier said than done when you are the one being talked about or written about. Don't worry though. Gossip is so shallow don't you think?..
