If you need Celine Dion's armpits to make your show entertaining, it's time to go back to the drawing board.

"Mediocre"

By Midwestrocker, Jun 08, 2006

This episode was faker than Joan Rivers face. (Some would go with Kenny Rogers, but that's too contemporary for me). This contestant came on the show who was supposedly obsessed with Celine Dion who, low and behold, surprised her by showing up. Only she didn't really show up... she sat in a room with a camera and had her beloved image beamed into the studio. Throughout the whole show she made weird faces and pretended to understand what was happening, for no reason at all. The only entertaining part of having her there was imagining all the people just tuning in saying "WTF is Celine Dion doing behind that family? And why is she flashing her arm pits so much?"

Not only was there no point in having Celine Dion trapped in a box for an hour and a half, but it proved without a shadow of a doubt that DOND is a hoax. Are we supposed to believe that they ask all their contestants ahead of time who their favorite musicians were? Seriously? We're supposed to believe that this woman told them her favorite musician was Celine Dion and they went through all the tricky scheduling issues just to surprise her? Good the thing the contestant wasn't a huge Elvis fan. More likely, they needed a big celeb for the finale, and Celine was the best they could get. So they told their scheduled contestant for that day to pretend to be a Celine Dion fan. I suppose it could have worked out in a less deceptive way, but it's highly unlikely.

The sad part about this is that it would have been a perfectly fine episode... if Celine Dion wasn't there. This show was great before all of these ridiculous stunts and if they keep this up, it'll be cancelled before this time next year.moreless
