LOS ANGELES (Oct. 31) - Actress Jane Seymour missed Tuesday night's "Dancing With the Stars" results show after being sickened by food poisoning, a television station reported.

Seymour was taken to a hospital to be checked out, KABC-TV reported. A call to the actress' publicist wasn't immediately returned.

Seymour, a contestant on ABC's dance competition, also missed part of the show earlier this month after her 92-year-old mother died.

Seymour told People magazine she had difficulty focusing on her dancing last week because her husband was busy defending their Malibu home from the wildfires that swept through the coastal area.

I'm sick of Jane seymour!!! She should have been eliminated instead of the much more better dancer Sabrina Bryan!!!

kenroy43 11:06:00 AM Nov 01 2007

again america shows that the public vote does not work look at your stupid president

Gsbonif 05:29:53 AM Nov 01 2007

Sorry to hear this. I still saw her on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named searchingmillionaire.com last week but now she is ill. Hope her get well soon.

debragutierrez01 12:36:00 AM Nov 01 2007

maybe if the judges weren't so critical of her dance the day before, more people would have voted for her. so shut the f--k up you blimey judges some people are really stupid and listen to what you guys say!

aderobertis 10:20:00 PM Oct 31 2007

Sabrina should NOT have been eliminated!!!!!! I was having problems with voting site did anyone else???

mrswissy 06:21:00 PM Oct 31 2007

People vote for whomever they want whether they're good or bad. Personally, I think Sabrina was overrated and the judges were always scoring her too high, so I'm glad she's gone. At the end of the day, not enough people voted for her and that's it period!

shoodle2 04:44:42 PM Oct 31 2007

WELL ACTUALLY PEOPLE IN UTAH AND PEOPLE ALL OVER SHOULD NOT BE VOTING FOR MARIE.

YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO VOTE FOR THE BEST DANCER AND SHE AIN'T IT!! (NOR IS JANE SEYMOUR)

shoodle2 04:39:04 PM Oct 31 2007

I LOVED JANE SEYMOUR IN DR. QUINN BUT SHE HAS BECOME A TOTALLY NARCISSICTIC BITCH. I DON'T BELIEVE FOR A MINUTE SHE HAD FOOD POISIONING. I THINK SHE WAS INSULTED BY THE JUDGES OPIONION OF HER WHICH OF COURSE WAS "HEY" YOU STINk!!!!!

imtwintheyr2 03:39:00 PM Oct 31 2007

Who CARES what Marie did after she passed out (I'm referring to the one post that said she was flipping her dress and acting crazy)? You saw the look on her face right before she fell and her unsure gait and having to be helped off the dance floor. She was probably just glad to have been allowed to stay in the competition! And whoever said that the people in Utah should stop voting for her--why, that's just ridiculous! People have their own opinions and will vote for whomever they think is the best. What, are you saying that these dancer's families should not vote for them?

Sabrina was an outstanding dancer, and I'm sorry that she got voted off. There should be no way on earth that she was voted off if her scores were so high by the judges. DWTS should not be a personality contest. I think they should only have judges do the judging...even having a certain number of judges calling in across the US. My favorite is Helio! He works so hard and is self-deprecating and is just out there to give us a good show and smile. I know that the competetion means a lot to him also, but he makes it fun. As far as Marie and Jane, I mean, c'mon people! After having many children and being a mom, for Marie to get out there and shake her thing and throw caution to the wind is definitely admirable. She really does try hard, and I think she's gorgeous. Jane Seymour is VERY graceful and elegant. I don't think her dancing abilities are there at the top, but you gotta hand it to her that she is "up there" in age and can still "strut it!" I think it may be very hard f

If you did not vote them you cannot complain, It's a viewers choice, and the voting should remain the way it is. 1/2 judge and 1/2 viewers.

alh081503 02:35:50 PM Oct 31 2007

Shocked !! Yes, I'm shocked that Sabrina was voted off DWTS, but she shouldn't have been there to begin with, being a professional and already having years of dancing experience.
I'm not sure what all the hype is about with Jane Seymour. She should just drop out now. She seems to be missing alot and really doesn't have what it takes, unless of course the dance is a slow one.

Grannymyrt 02:16:00 PM Oct 31 2007

Sabrina was not the best dancer and I think the fans realized she already had some dance experience. This show is for amateurs not dancers with experience.
She did not dance well lMonday therefore she was let go, I felt Marie or Jane were
going to go, they will be next, the best is Max and Mel, and Helio, they should be in
the finals. People vote on the most recent dance performed not the overall 6 weeks, she was not good on Monday, and she does not have the grace for some of the dances performed and Mondays dance she looked like a klutz!!

deandeb1 01:27:38 PM Oct 31 2007

This is totoally irresponsible of DWTS to allow this kind of voting anymore. I agree with many here who say THIS HAS TO BE CHANGED!! This show has had so much popularity in the past it would be a shame to think that all of a sudden it is being 'rigged' in some way by the voters. These competitions bring alot of pleasure to the people who watch the show each season, and we are heartbroken and furious to see the truely BEST dancer, Sabrina, with the most consistantly high scores from the judges, be booted off. The voting procedure really needs to be revamed to where the judges have more of a vote and the public, most of whom do not vote on dancing ability but on popularity, less, and instead of 7 votes, be limited to one vote! PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE, DO SOMETHING DWTS, and don't let happen again. Many, many viewers will leave!
