This explains an aspect of sci-fi I never really got (aside from how simple it is to depict): "Entertainment" across species often means bringing in scantily-clad dancers. Apparently the writers were just partially mimicking some of what was already on TV.

He found it a lot more interesting to watch the audience.)
