The only reality show which wasnt scripted was Saregama, the one which used to come before 10-15 years. All other reality shows are scripted. And the audience whom we see dancing & screaming is a dummy audience. Infact when I was in my final year of college, we used to get chance to attend sets of reality shows.
I had attended only once, that was the finale of Indian idol 2 which sandeep won. The finale was live, but before the telecast, all of us (around 200 students), were given full instructions as to what is to be done. We had to stand the back rows. We were given banners & posters also. And we had to scream after every performance. We didnt had to buy tickets nothing, on the contrary we were paid Rs.200 each, plus food & drinks were provided.When it comes to Grand Finale's things cannot be edited therefore they donot take chances. Most of the performances are lip sync. So you see how much reality is there.
Oh Thanx for sharing your experience. I used to always find the audience so weird. They dance with the posters & all. So its all prearranged.
