The strike was said to have started due to the low pay of many Hollywood writers and actors regardless of the huge amount of money being made by the industry yearly. This has caused disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Due to the strike, Dancing with the Stars is looking to cast reality Stars who have no affiliation with Hollywood, however, the chances of finding a reality star who is big enough to entice the fans and is not associated with Hollywood, is like finding a needle in a haystack.
