Showmaster

Someone who outwardly appears to be charitable, decent and successful but is actually just keeping up a mendacious ‘show’.

In order to function in the wider world, a Showmaster will try to constantly emanate such qualities as kindness, honesty and generosity whilst concealing the dishonesty, avarice and selfishness which defines their true self.

Showmasters should not be confused with simple liars. The duplicitous nature of the Showmaster’s existence requires great bravado and intricate planning. The effort that goes into maintaining their web of deceit should not be underestimated.

We all know a Showmaster or two but spotting them can be very difficult.

“Nobody new David was a bigamist until both wives turned up at his funeral. What a Showmaster!”

showmance

A romance developed between two actors during the filming of a movie/production of a play that ends directly after the project has ended. Often, a showmance occurs between two people playing lovers (this could be caused because of the close contact between the actors in such situations, or because of a confusion between real emotions and the character's emotions). Current usage also applies to reality show contestants who hook up during the show for the sake of good television, but this term has been used in theatre circles for many decades.

While they were playing Romeo and Juliet, Bob and Sally started dating, but then broke up after closing night. It was just a showmance.

Showmance

A romance between to television, film and theatre actors or realty stars who play the role of the others romantic interests in a television series, play or film (see; reality television). This typically occurs when two actors share one or more scripted "love" scenes or on-screen kisses.

Showmances do, however, develop between two co-stars playing roles in which they are in no way romantically linked, however due to long hours on set and often odd or isolated locales, a couple may develop some sort of relationship to bide their time or otherwise entertain themselves.

An actor or actress may mistake scripted passion or chemistry on screen, for a real life romance off-set. Showmances typically end after the filming has ended.

Brangelina showmance is one of the longest running in history.

(see "House: MD" co-stars; Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer; now engaged, they started their romance around the time it was written into the show)

showmance

A "show romance," that is, a romance that develops between reality show contestants or participants, especially one that ends as soon as the show is over. Often entered into primarily as a ploy to gain more camera time. The term was popularized by Kristen, of E!'s "Watch with Kristen."

I thought Nick and Amy shared a real romance on The Apprentice, but their immediate breakup proves that it was just a showmance.
