Word has it that VH1 is developing another fully scripted TV series after scoring high ratings with ‘Single Ladies‘.
VH1 discovered that dealing with amateurs (such as NeNe Leakes and Sheree), who think they’re celebrities, is really difficult because after awhile they start thinking they’re too good to toss water on each other and call each other bitches every week.
Besides that, VH1 knows that more and more of their viewers are catching on to the fact that these reality shows are 100% fake.
So following the success of fully scripted ‘Single Ladies‘, VH1 is developing another fully scripted series — this one is based on a fictional cheerleading team, according to celebrity groupie Jill.
“Bounce” will center on the fictional L.A. devils and their dance team, the Devil Girls; specifically, one young lady who dreams of being a part of the Devil Girls (following in her disapproving mother’s foosteps), and works her way onto the team, only to learn just how cut-throat and competitive it is.
Sanaa Hamri is the director, she also directed the basketball themed film Just Wright and a pilot is scheduled to shoot in March. Source
The way I understand it, real cheerleaders are forced to sign strict contracts that calls for professionalism on and off the field. I’m guessing it was difficult for VH1 to find real cheerleaders who were willing to toss water on each other and call each other bitches every week.
