Mike Catherwood On DWTS All-Star Season, Money Is A Huge Motivator
Season 12 contestant Mike Catherwood tells Celebuzz he wouldn’t be interested in coming back for the All-Star Season of Dancing With The Stars, but, there “is a catch”….
Mike Catherwood may have been the first celebrity eliminated from ABC’s Dancing With the Stars during season 12, but with an “All Star” season now in the works, the radio DJ says he’s willing to foxtrot back into the ballroom. The only catch: he wants a hefty paycheck.
With the DWTS hoofers reportedly guaranteed $125,000 for the first two weeks, the Loveline with Dr. Drew co-host — who had been partnered with Lacey Schwimmer during his original run — tells Celebuzz: “I don’t want to go back, but if they pay me, yes. Money is a huge motivator.”
What do you think? Would you be interested in seeing Mike dance again? I think I’d rather have other celebs come back to dance, but, by all means use Mike in some spoof segments like the one below. Remember this? This has to be one of the funniest moments on this show. Would you agree? Too funny!
Just an FYI, Mike was on that new dating show, The Choice last night. (It’s really an awful show, BTW. Even Cat Deeley can’t save it, I’m afraid.)
A dolla make Mike Catherwood holla, honey boo-boo child!
Can’t say I blame him – or anyone else who isn’t totally desperate for something to do that might be asked to come back for the all-star season. I’d definitely be saying “Show me the money…in cash.”
And yes, concurring with Evaine, The Choice is just a wretched show…but I kinda knew that just from the previews. It kinda speaks volumes that the only bachelors they could get were has-beens (Joe Jonas, to a certain degree), reality tv d-bags (Pauly D & The Situation), and known cheaters (Dean Cain). The fact that Mike decided to do a show like that (and based on some other murmurings I’ve heard) kinda makes me wonder if he, too, is kind of a cad…even though I actually really liked him on DWTS.
I kinda lik “The Choice” its kind unintentionally funny and to be honest the girls are funny too (the girl who liked to drink on last night’s episode…kinda think she was drunk then too… LOL) The Olympian from the first episode would be great for dwts. I think his name was Jeremy Bloom.
I thought the choice was bad but I couldn’t stop watching, same for duets. Don’t know if I keep watching because I’m curious, bored because its summer and there’s nothing else on, or maybe I’m just masochist? Anywho thanks for that clip of Mike, I’d forgotten about that, it was hysterical. Don’t know how they kept even semi straight faces during that, they had to of done a lot of takes on that one. Can anyone tell me who the other dancers are on the panel? I saw Tristan, Peta and I think Emma, not sure about the others. And who gave him the chest bump during the routine?
@Dyann: I feel the same way about Duets. Kelly and John Legend are the only mentors that I like and the contestants arent that great.
I haven’t tuned into either of these shows, Duets or The Choice. Looks like that was a wise decision.
Mike Catherwood was humorous but an awful dancer. Maybe Carson and Mike could dance together… hehe!
I didn’t really mean together, like as partners, I meant in some sort of skit or routine paired with female partners. Whew! Just wanted to clear that one up!
This audition dance above was hysterical.
I had totally forgotten about this clip! Thanks Vogue! lol
LOL YW!
Sandy, I’d be game for Mike and Carson dancing together. lolll
I’d love a worst of the worst season. Courtney, Mike’s not a cad. He said on a podcast last week, that like DWTS, he only did The Choice because the producers and his agent begged him to…and because of the money. He’s taken, so he was just having fun.
Mike would dance with Carson. He danced with Louie!
Agree to disagree, JLHsmurf. I’m sure Lacey’s bf would disagree…and so would Mark.
