Jewel and Nancy O'Dell just announced that neither of them will be on "Dancing with the Stars" this season as originally planned. Both of the women have suffered injuries while rehearsing for the show, both are knee injuries. Jewel has a fractured tibia in both legs and Nancy O'Dell has a torn meniscus and will need to have surgery. It is believed that both of the ladies injuries is due to overtraining to early on for the show. It is very unfortunate because these two seemed to be the most committed to the show. Both women are extremely saddened and disappointed that they won't be able to do the show.
