A couple days ago, I discussed Dancing With The Stars with my creative writing teacher, Mr. Aeen. We're both huge fans of the show. Every season we create bets to see who will win. I always look forward to attending his class because we always have something new to share about the show. Recently we discussed how the contestants on the show are getting paid lots of money. We thought that the stars joined the show to lose weight, or to prove to themselves that they can do whatever they dream of. Mr. Aeen and I were shocked to find out that for every week that the competitor preforms, they earn thousands of dollars. The more times they dance, the more money they make. Last season's winner, Bindi Irwin made half a million dollars being on the show. This surprised both me and my teacher. Now we know why people were so compassionate about joining the show!
