Another note from Jewel
Hi all, its Jewel here, and I thought I'd stop by and check in with you all... So, here we are at week six! Ty has the Jive and is working hard at the dance studio, while I am sipping ice tea and writing this!
We're both amazed every week at how intricate and difficult each new dance is.
Poor Ty can hardly recover because each dance uses specific muscle groups that change each time. His ankles hurt with the foxtrot. His lower back hurt with the Lindy Hop. His feet hurt with the Paso Doble and now the Jive is intense for his knees!
Not to mention that seven days a week of six hours a day working out is nuts, but everyone on the show is in the same boat. I can't believe how difficult and how much each contestant is giving--it's pretty inspiring. Everyone is really giving it their all!
Thursday's and Friday's are always frustrating for Ty as it is the steepest learning curve and it seems as though he will never grasp the all new techniques and intricate foot work, but my cowboy is no quitter and he's putting in the work.
I have to say, I was a wee-bit nervous that Ty was going to participate in the "dance-off" this past Tuesday.
When they announced Steve-O was safe, Ty and I looked at each other and on the commercial break he started to go over moves with Chelsie! But luckily he was saved and lives to dance another dance!
Both of us have been so touched by the support from all my fans and all Ty's fans. We feel so fortunate to have such real and supportive folks around us, who have his back and are voting!
The western lifestyle is such a great way of life – its one I grew up with in Alaska on my family's beautiful ranch, (well Homestead technically, but that's another story) – and we both feel so proud to represent the lifestyle on such a popular show, and share it with so many folks.
I hear the key in the door, which means my cowpoke is home, so I'm going to get his dinner ready and hear all about the Jive.
We love reading your blog comments every morning, so keep it up!
Talk soon, xxjewel

DWTS - week 5 “Viennese Waltz”
Hey guys!!!
So… Its been a crazy crazy week but a good one at that. This was one of the hardest weeks yet but i made it through alive, and I couldn’t be anymore relieved. After the Lindy Hop, Mark and I knew that we were going to have to work hard and bring it this week and we did that, i think. We moved our way back up to second place and will hopefully work our way up from there. The rehearsals last week were killer. I struggled a lot on getting the Viennese Waltz down. Even though it was another slow and elegant dance it had a lot of crazy footwork and the music was really challenging to count to. Let me just say that by the time the show came around i still felt unsure and afraid of the routine. When our time to take stage came up i said a prayer and just went. I did make a few mistakes but thankfully Mark saved me… BIG TIME… and we pulled it off. It just taught me that this week im going to have to work a lot harder! Anyway a few fun things that i have gotten to do recently…
I shot a video for Taylor Swifts new tour, which by the way has been the coolest thing ever.
I was given the honor to be apart of Emeril Lagasse’s new commercial! It was so much fun. I just got to be crazy and i put on this fun chef’s coat and tried to act like him… haha it was cute.
I also went to the Hannah Montana Premiere with my good friend Mitchel Musso, where i had a blast and got to spend some fun time with the whole Musso family. The movie was really cute and it was, of course, awesome to walk the red carpet with all the disney channel stars. I did want to say, “Thank You” though to Mitchel for inviting me and sharing that experience with me. His whole family was great to be with and I had great time.
Last week on the show I had quite a few people in the audience watching that i was thrilled to see. My cousin got the opportunity to come out and watch me, which meant the world to me because she has been there for me since day one and is like my best friend, and also many cast members from the hit show The Secret Life of The American Teenager came to watch and it was so exciting to see them there. I absolutely loved being on that show with all of them and loved spending the little time i could on monday talking and having fun. They are the sweetest bunch i have ever met and it was an honor to have them there.
Besides that things are getting heated up this week with the Rumba but of course not too much. Mark and I are having a great time and working really hard to make sure that we deliver a great routine this week and hopefully entertain all of you. I tried on my costume today too, and OMG is it gorgeous! I hope you all like it and tune it to see the final thing! Thank you all again so much for your support… I couldn’t of gotten this far without you. Im still not ready to go home though so make sure to vote and keep me here! Im having the time of my life and am not ready to have it end
XoXo -SJ-
