Ever wonder how much celebs get paid for reality tv shows? While some get paid $50,000 per scripted-series episode, the even more popular reality shows pay considerably less.

The celebs on Dancing With the Stars, for example, get $200,000 for the season, whether they’re booted or not, a bonus of $100,00 if they’re number one, and smaller bonuses if they’re number two or three, an agent said.

So pitiful Belinda Carlise- the first one booted this season- will make the same amount as Shawn Johnson, Denise Richards, Emmit Smith, Marie Osmond, Jennie Garth, Cameron Mathison… Wow, that’s fair! I guess the ones who suck would never join if they only got one lousy paycheck after they were kicked off.
