This is a good article with facts I haven't seen anywhere else....including Dave's compensation which I have excerpted and show here below the article link.
http://www.huliq.com/10061/dave-hesters-lawsuit-reveals-his-salary-and-more
Here's what the article said about Dave's compensation on the show. Again makes it obvious why they can bid so high....when it's free money, what's the difference?
"Hester's salary and other compensation? $25,000 per episode for a guarantee of 26, plus a monthly stipend of $2,500 AND an expense account of $124,500 plus a $25,000 signing bonus. "
Edit:
Looks like Huliq got the salary facts from TMZ's PDF of the actual court document filed by Hester's attorney.
The way I read that document (see other thread) of the $2 million Hester is seeking, $750,000 is for episodes he would have been paid for had he not been fired. Sounds fair to me, but I'm starting to think like the networks attorney and I'm guessing that they will say that Hester violated his contract by talking about the show in an "inappropriate" manner. At some point the producers/network will have to publicly address the suit, but doubt that will happen for a while.
Meanwhile, as some wise person once said..."There is no such thing as bad publicity". wink !

If I was A&E I would just pay Hester off cause people are still going to watch the show if fake cause they want hope and want to believe . http://theclicker.today.com/_news/2012/12/18/15936042-reality-shows-accused-of-faking-it-in-2012?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=7
