The show may be scripted, but I dont think the marking system of the judges is scripted by Colors, its left to the judgement of judges. Remo has always given marks based on his wide experience in the field of dancing and not due to any special preferences .He has given Lauren 30 earlier when DD got much lesser in those episodes purely based on Lauren's dancing. if he has given 9 this time, which I think is bcos of the last bit in the dance where Lauren was shown farting.That was quite tastelesss. I think Remo did not want to offend Lauren by specially pointing this out that as everything else in the dance was good. Likewise for other judges.
On most of previous occasions when Remo awarded a 30 to Lauren, I found it non-deserving and found him to be exceptionally smitten by Lauren's talent (which still holds true) as Remo is the one who was impressed by her SYTYCD performances and casted her as the female lead in his movie ABCD. But Lauren's Charlie act was exceptionally good, I would have been satisfied with a 9, if such strict marking was also followed for other contestants. But sadly, that wasn't so.
On the other hand DD's dance was class personified, its a Egyptian dance form which we are not aware of, but Remo definitely knows about the finer aspects involved in this dance form.We are so used to appreciating dance forms involving lots of movements, so when we watch something new and does not involve much movements we fail to appreciate the nuances involved in the new dance form. But professional dancers like Remo can.Well now that I am aware of this dance form I feel that, there is still there is very less of "dance" in it. It might be competitive enough for a level where the other dancers also elude "dancing" but sadly that's not the case.😊 IMHO, if after watching a dance performance, you have to google the web and research on a particular country's history and religious beliefs to identify the "dance element", then definitely the performance isn't worth it...😃So lets not by our ignorance point fingers at the judges credibility. Rremember these judges are big names in their respective fields and will not jeopeordise their reputatation for COLORS by deliberately trying to promote a particular participant.I am not questioning Remo's talent of dancing, I know that he is one of the prominent choreographers of India at this time, but I am questioning the credibility of his scoring. PERIOD.😃
