Samba-dy Help! Osmond Collapses on "Dancing"

91. AN OPEN LETTER TO MARIE--FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS AND CARES ABOUT YOU:

DEAR MARIE:

YOU NEED TO GET A LITTLE MORE REST, AND DO WHAT YOUR DOC SAYS.
DON'T STRESS SO MUCH--ESPECIALLY REGARDING YOUR KIDS! JUST HAVE YOUR BROTHERS WATCH OUT FOR THEM, AND LET GEORGIA HELP. SHE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, NO MATTER WHAT.
LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE OVER FOR YOU INSTEAD OF YOUR GOING ON QVC. YOUR DOLLS WILL SELL, AND I THINK YOUR HOLIDAYS WILL BE A LOT MORE PLEASANT.

LASTLY, YOU KNOW HOW GREAT THE SISTERS IN YOUR WARD ARE. LET THEM HELP. YOU NEED ASK ONLY ONCE AND THEY WILL BE THERE ASAP. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME IN ASKING FOR HELP!!! YOU ARE LOVED!

GOD BLESS YOU , MARIE. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A WINNER TO US, NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME OF DWTS IS.
WITH GREAT LOVE AND AFFECTION,
A FRIEND.......

93. That really scared the ba -jeebers out of my wife. I was away from the tv when the wife hollered oh crap. Then the time it took with commericals we started to get worried. Glad all worked out. She needs to have that cheked out. The way she talked about it she's done this quite a few times and thats not good at all.

94. She has shown to be a class lady with tons of personality. Credit it to her for going through all the difficult routines. For those with negative comments, no one is forcing you to watch the show.

95. MILF....I'm 56, didn't know what it meant and now that I do, I'm so disappointed that I'm not one of those....however, the usual unkind folks are out there in full ugliness with their rude comments. If you don't like the show, don't watch it. I watch 3.5 hrs. tv per week, DWTS is one of them and I am enjoying this season because of Marie Osmond (who I must admit I have never watched before) and Jane Seymour (who I have watched before.) Must admit to a certain, eh, pang of jealousy because they look so good but I don't think either of them will win. But, I'm voting for them!!!

96. She was robbed by the judges on her points. Her dance was good and unfortunately if you were watching you could tell she was not breathing right.. I don't think people should make fun of someone for that but admire what they are doing. You get out there and do that after practicing all this time doing concerts in between that.

102. I just love the show, and be a loyal fan since the start. I felt so bad for her, we played it back a few times. I pray she goes to the doctor to find out what is wrong. We all felt her score should have been higher, at least 24, we said so before she passed out. The dance might not have been as fast and as sassy like the others, but for her at her age I take my hat off to her. That takes a lot out of a person. The lights, nerves, and all the hours before training. I take my hat off to them all. This has been the best year I hope the show stays on for many more years to come.

103. I love Marie. I know she has asthma and heard the smoky air in LA has been bothering the dancers as they leave their trailers. She is a trooper and I hope she continues another week or two. She's not the best, but her energy and positive attitude have been great to watch. She's got two great videos on youtube that show that she'll look on this incident with comedy in mind in the future:

104. "I've watched Marie on QVC for years. She's known for gaining weight or being a bit plump. When she joined DWTS my first thought was how could she do it with all her kids, divorce from Brian, doll making, QVC appearances etc. I wonder if she might be taking diet supplements along with the rigors of this show and fainted due to lack of food and/or water. She wasn't dancing when she fainted. I could believe fainting during the dance because it is easy to stop breathing certain moves. Afterwards, though? I have my doubts. She does have long term emotional problems. Best to her."

I would like to point out that Jiri Fischer, a Hockey player, went and played a shift, sat back down and his heart stopped. So sometimes it does not happen at the peak of your ..."performance" it happens a lot when you stop and try and CATCH your breath. When you stop and try to catch your breath, sometimes you can't and that is what causes you to pass out.

I was really concerned for her because after watching Fischer almost die(his heart stopped, they used an AED and luckily got his heart starting again and he's fine) my head goes into thinking that THAT has happened. I just hope she really goes and gets it checked out, because as a mother, I think she owes it to her kids to do something about it. Fainting it not good.

I know she probably just over extended herself, and with everything going on out there, it's probably not a normal thing, but still. Marie seems like a very hard working person. She doesn't stop. She pushes herself and pushes herself and I hope this shows her that she can't push herself THIS fair. She needs to slow down a little and (pardon the pun) catch her breath.

I thought she handled herself great, I would have not wanted to come back on TV after that! But that's how she is. She's an entertainer and is always "on" She knows how to handle herself and i applaud her for that.

105. She has no business being on the show. IMO, she is so clearly out of shape. Before anyone takes on that type of competition, they need to be declared fit How she was allowed on that show in the first place, I will never understand.
