I'm so happy that ABC has finally decided to let the horribly kept secret out of the bag. Jewel is out and Holly is in on DWTS.
Yes, my email source was wrong this morning. You win some and lose some I suppose.
Anyway, Jewel's injury is actually worse than just tendinitis, she actually suffered fractured tibias in both legs.
Uhmm, ouch.
Well it was also confirmed that fellow dancer, Nancy O'Dell is out too due to a torn meniscus. But it's not just the ladies who are suffering, dancer Gilles Marini has tendinitis in both his groin and shoulder.
What the hell are they doing to these people?
Jewel has also released a blog post - as I figured she would - to let everyone know how sad she is.
Shock does not begin to describe it. I am heartbroken to say I will not be competing in this season of Dancing With the Stars. I'm sad I won't get to go through the rest of the experience competing with my husband, Ty. I don't really know what to say. I am sad and mad and disappointed and just blown away at all that has happened. I also feel particularly upset for my partner Dmitry. This is his first season on the show and he put so much work and thoughtful effort into training me. I really wanted America to see what a great dancer, choreographer and teacher he is. This wasn't the way I wanted to go, but my health must come first. And so it is with regret I will not be able to compete this season, but I will be there to cheer my husband on every step of the way- he will just have to dance for the both of us now!

Not sure who will be replacing Nancy but I'm sure that'll be coming out soon. Feel better Jewel.
