Holly is now injured- she hurt her ribs, but is expected to perform Monday.

and TMZ found Shawn's contract (since she's a minor, a judge had to approve it)-

For going on the show- $125,000. This is for weeks 1 and 2 plus the Finale group number. She'll get bonuses for each week past week 2 she stays on the show:

weeks 3 and 4: $10,000 a week.
weeks 5,6, and 7: $20,000 a week.
weeks 8 and 9: $30,000 a week.
weeks 10 and 11: $50,000 a week.

so if she gets to the finale, she'll get $365,000 in total.

she also has to train about 20 hours a week, and had to waive liability in case of injury..

Good find Wilson!! I wonder if they all get paid the same or if contract amounts vary per person.

I would imagine your contract would be whatever your manager could get for you.

I would think it would be based on known star power, among other things (Lil Kim probably got a bigger contract than Giles, for example)...plus I assume they may have had to sweeten the pot a little for Holly and Melissa since they were going in on shorter notice..

Well that certainly explains why Melissa quit her job.. all the better to concentrate on that great paycheck.

And yes.. no wonder they don't drop out.

And I'm sure the show still comes out ahead. Decent ratings, I assume, lots of free publicity with the various stars going on interviews and relative chicken feed compared to shows that grow a bunch of high paid actors (think Friends when they were getting a megabucks per episode)

Michelle Kwan was being interviewed about the World Figure Skating Championships and was asked if it was true that they had asked her to be on DWTS and she said yes, they've asked a couple of times, but she would need to have the time to devote to it.

Don't forget the giant chunk they will owe the tax man.

I think it is theirs to lose.. they have to stay uninjured and keep up the level and they have a great chance.

I swear, Steve Wozniak may just be the best thing to ever happen to Karina.. he's really bringing out a good side I've not seen in her before and she seems to be fond of him, despite Maks's snarky comments that she deserved "better".

I am a bit cynical, of course, you invite him to the wedding. He would probably give an awesome wedding present.

Tom is so good. Samantha is losing her voice. Tom said, "Samantha's voice is disappearing faster than my 401K." He is so good.

I keep hoping that even tho it is mid-show, they would just pull Samantha off and maybe have one of the dancers who has finished do the interviews. They could probably do as good a job or better--as when they brought in substitutes when Samantha was pregnant.

I really really really think the judges are somehow penalizing Chuck Wicks and Julianne for being a real life couple. Couldn't believe they ranked Ty so much higher for the same dance--a nine! Definitely thought Julianne and Chuck were better than Ty and partner.

They probably are making up for a couple weeks ago when people complained they gave them higher scores than they deserved.

We had snow yesterday in Chicago. Turn on the A/C. Gilles and Cheryl just danced the Argentine tango.

10 10 10

Len said he couldn't tell who was the pro.

Okay, I wasn't going to watch it tonight, as I find I am getting bored this season, but now I will because of Colordeagua's 6:45 pm post.

No, wait, that is in the second hour, isn't it? I will tape it.

They're the ones to watch.

Shawn and Mark did lindy hop. Mark thought they'd do really well because of Shawn's gymnastics. Didn't do so well. Judges' comments generally too many tricks, not enough dance. 8 8 9

Steve-O, Woz, or Holly should be the ones to go tomorrow (two of the three).

And Ty. Win, well . . . . He and Chelsie did the lindy hop tonight. They really did a good job. Like the judges said, he improves every week. They never thought he'd be doing so well considering his first week's scores -- way low. He is a joy to watch.

It is free, but you can only vote for half an hour after the show airs.
