In season 3 and all subsequent seasons, the scoring system has made the exact scores relevant as well. The scoring begins with the judges ' marks. Each judge gives a numeric score from 1 to 10, for a total score of 3 to 30. The scoring was altered for the `` all - star '' season 15, during which judges could give scores at 1 / 2 - point intervals from 0.5 to 10, for a total score of 1.5 to 30. When multiple performances are scored, only the cumulative total counts. The contestants ' judges ' shares are calculated as the % of the total number of points awarded to all contestants that evening. ( For example, if a team earned 20 pts on a night when the judges awarded 200 pts, their judges ' share would be 20 / 200 = 10 %. ) This % is then added to the % of North American votes received by each contestant. The bottom 2 couples are identified at the end of the show, and the couple with the lowest combined total gets eliminated. Season 8 added an occasional ' dance - off ', in which contestants could re-do 1 of their dances, in an effort to improve their judges ' score. This was later discontinued. Public voting is conducted via a toll - free number, the ABC website, and, most recently, text messages and Facebook ; contestants can vote during and immediately after each performance show. The maximum number of votes per voter per medium is equal to the number of couples performing that night, or 5 votes, whichever is larger. In April 2010, it was revealed that former contestant Kate Gosselin had e-mailed friends and family asking them to vote as many as 10x each. In Nov 2010, the The Washington Post reported that online voting appeared not to require a valid email address, and accordingly that numerous votes apparently could be cast by 1 person. In several cases where ESPN coverage of Monday Night Football airs instead on an ABC affiliate in an NFL team 's home market, the program is delayed to air immediately after that station 's local news, and a voting window confined only to the area codes of the pre-empted market is opened up to allow affected viewers to still put their votes in for the competition, though this is on a market - by - market basis ( in some markets, an alternate sister station or digital subchannel carries the program live as scheduled ). Seasons 1 and 3 featured only 2 celebrities in the final week instead of 3. Starting with season 16, 4 celebrities made it into the final week, although the top 3 finalists proceeded to dance 1 more time for the judges after the 4th place couple was announced. In season 20, there were 3 celebrities in the final week, but in seasons 21, 23 and 25, there were 4. In seasons 22, 24 and 26, there were only 3 celebrities in the final week. General information Payment On the April 18, 2006 episode of the Howard Stern Radio Show, Stern 's wife Beth said that she was guaranteed to earn $125,000 for just appearing on DWTS ( in season 3 ) and could earn up to more than double the original sum, depending on how long she lasted on the program. In season 21, Bindi Irwin had her payments withheld by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge because she was a minor, which therefore required her parents to sign - off on the contract. But although her mother signed, the contract lacked her father 's signature, so the judge refused to validate the contract, despite Irwin 's father being the world - famous naturalist Steve Irwin, whose death in 2006 had been widely covered in the news / media. The judge later validated the contract once Steve Irwin 's death certificate was presented to the court, resulting in Bindi receiving a $350,000 paycheck from the show. Withdrawals The first person to withdraw from competition was Romeo in season 2. His father, Master P, took his place in the competition before the beginning of broadcasts, being partnered with Ashly DelGrosso. However, Romeo later competed in season 12 and finished in 5th place. He was partnered with Chelsie Hightower. On week six in season three, Sara Evans cited her divorce as the reason for leaving the competition. No one was eliminated that week. Another withdrawal occurred during the run - up to season four on February 28, when Vincent Pastore withdrew from the competition after only one week of training. Pastore said he did not realize how much work was needed during a ten - week period, and that he was not up to the physical demands of the show. He was replaced on March 2 by Pixar voice actor John Ratzenberger who was partnered with Edyta Sliwinska. In season seven, Misty May - Treanor withdrew from the competition in week three, after rupturing her Achilles tendon when rehearsing her jive with her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. She did not perform the routine at all nor was she scored for it ; no one else was eliminated that week. In season eight, Jewel and Nancy O'Dell were injured before the season even began and could not compete. Jewel was diagnosed with fractured tibias in both legs ; she came back later in the season to perform `` Somewhere Over the Rainbow '' on a results show. O'Dell suffered from a torn knee cartilage. They were replaced by Holly Madison and Melissa Rycroft who would be dancing with their partners for the rest of the season ( Dmitry Chaplin and Tony Dovolani ). Tom DeLay, in season nine, withdrew in week three of competition due to a full stress fracture that had developed in both feet from an earlier pre-stress fracture in one foot. DeLay was declared safe before he announced his withdrawal during the October 6, 2009 results show. Debi Mazar was still eliminated that night despite DeLay 's departure. In season sixteen, Olympic figure skating champion Dorothy Hamill had to withdraw from the competition due to doctor 's orders for a spinal injury. A cyst had developed near her lower spine, and was pinching off the nerve in that area. Either boxing champion Victor Ortiz or reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump would 've been eliminated, but Hamill withdrew before the results could be announced, meaning that no one was eliminated that week. In season eighteen, week three, actor Billy Dee Williams withdrew, by advice from a doctor, due to a chronic back problem ( which resulted in no elimination that week ). In season twenty - one, week three, reality TV star Kim Zolciak - Biermann was forced to withdraw from the competition after suffering a blood clot which resulted in a mini stroke ( which resulted in no elimination that week ). Tamar Braxton also withdrew from the season due to blood clots in her lungs making it the first season to have two withdrawals in it. Macy 's Stars of dance : design a dance Beginning season 7, viewers had the opportunity to vote for their favorite pros ( or in some cases former contestants ) to dance to a style of dance as well as a song to dance to. An online contest is also usually held so viewers can submit drawings of outfits for the performance. Special Episodes 100th episode The show celebrated its 100th episode on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, during week 8 of season 6. More than 30 former cast members and pros returned, with interviews with Stacy Keibler, Lisa Rinna, Jerry Springer, Vivica A. Fox, Joey Fatone, Kenny Mayne, Sabrina Bryan, and former winners Kelly Monaco, Drew Lachey, and Apolo Anton Ohno. Other appearances, besides the season 6 cast, included Paula Abdul ( in a video introduction ), Jane Seymour, Ian Ziering, Mark Cuban, Wayne Newton, Leeza Gibbons, Harry Hamlin, Shandi Finnessey, and Hélio Castroneves.
