Why Marian Rivera Can't Say No To Being Reality Show Judge

From being a member of the selection committee for the 2021 Miss Universe in Israel, Marian Rivera again takes on the judge role for GMA's newest weekend dance reality program, "Stars on the Floor"

This time, she is in the good company of dance coach Jay Joseph Roncesvalles and Pokwang, and each is called a dance authority.

In that capacity, Marian, Jay and Pokwang watch and evaluate performances of digital and celebrity dance stars every Saturday at 7:15 p.m. Then, they award a score to each pair, whose aim is to top the leaderboard.

Since dancing is also her area of interest, it seems natural for Marian to be on board a project that features such an artistic and entertaining activity, as one may put it.

"Sa totoo lang ang hirap (actually, it's tough)," said the actress-host of her work on the show, which is hosted by Alden Richards, in a recent media call.

"When it was presented to me by GMA, they told me, 'May dance show, Marian, na ganito ang gagawin (there's a dance show and this is how we're doing it). It's my first-time judging (a dance program)," added she.
