Since his dance floor victory last Friday night, Samuelsson said he is receiving "requests for 15 or 20 shows a day." The mass media attention he has received from his success on Dancing With The Stars has taken him from prominence in the strength world to much broader markets, Samuelsson said. "It is quite remarkable that because of dancing, something I'd never done before, all of this has happened."
