Terence Lewis, choreographer and popular dance show judge, spilled some beans about the reality shows and revealed that some moments are indeed scripted. For the unversed, he has been part of many dance reality shows as a judge. Even though Terence confessed that some things are scripted in dance reality shows, some moments are spontaneous.
While speaking to Pinkvilla, “A lot of people assume we want to dance, but the reality is we are asked to create these moments. So when you ask if things are scripted – yes, interactions with guests and contestants are planned. However, the dance, the judgment, the talent, and the comments remain authentic. But anything that makes for a great promo moment? That’s scripted.”
He also revealed that moments like ‘helping actresses onto the stage’ are also “completely scripted.” He said, “I would never do that. In my eight years of judging, I’ve never gone and invited a contestant or a celebrity on stage like that.”
Terence said that the audience are also to be blamed because they enjoy such scripted moments. He added, “It’s sad to say, but the highest ratings came from moments of masti. So, ultimately, the audience is to be blamed because they enjoy it.”
