Despite comments earlier this week that made it seem like she had an issue with Melissa Rycroft, Jewel wants to make one thing clear:
She hates a certain rule on Dancing with the Stars, not the lovely, former cheerleading brunette.
On Thursday, Jewel posted on husband Ty Murray's MySpace blog that she has an issue with the DWTS rule that says an injured contestant isn't instantly disqualified; but rather judged on his/her rehearsal footage.
"I like Melissa and think she's gifted (and a real Texas sweetheart), and I adore Steve-O," Jewel wrote yesterday, citing the two competitors that have benefited from this edict on season eight. "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."
Jewel added: "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.
"This isn't a catty girl versus girl thing [the media] are trying to make it into. Neither I nor Melissa are like that."

Yes Jewel wants Melissa out. If it was just the rule, Jewel would have spoken up after Steve O was judged on a practice tape due to an injury. Jewel said nothing. She is jealous and wants Melissa gone to move Ty up in the rankings. I hope Jewel NEVER dances on that show. She is so two faced!

Jewel is not jealous of Melissa and she is not hating Melissa. Maybe she wants Melissa to take a care of Melissa's health.
