It’s interesting to see the participants compete with each other, and one of them gets lucky enough to be the winner.

The Disappointing Factor

Even though the participants get to meet the celebrity they want to spend the day with, there is still something like the guest who will point out what they need in the participants. When the first guest came, his priorities were someone with passion, someone who knew about inventions, and someone who wanted to have a dance battle. There are a lot of people who want to participate and see their favorite celebrities but can’t because of these priorities.
