The subject of how much DWTS contestants make came up in another group. A member found this (from the Popeater site, I think):
When you sign up, every contestant gets $150,000 for 6 weeks rehearsals and the first two shows," an insider with knowledge of the arrangement tells me. "Then every week you survive you make an extra $10,000 then $20,000 then $30,000 and so on, so the winner takes home $350,000.

Also see another narrative they will use to sell Peace - he is donating whatever money he earns (how do they earn money for this - is there a cash prize, or just payment for appearing on the show?) to cancer research - his young daughter is a cancer survivor. -- TV or Not TV ....
