It's easy to see logical business reasons for trying something like that, and the whole setup with a 3-4-1,
school uniforms, Caty and Mica gave it the best possibility of working (but in the end these extra elements ended up getting most of the credit, on here at least).
A buzz is ultimately organically there or not there, no matter how much it's talked up. How the Danica issue could be solved, who knows? A running tab at Harrods? Maybe it just can't be solved.
But as a commercial experiment, the D-Day project was understandable despite the resultant hype grumbles.
Look, Danica may be a genuine buzz-girl for you and some others but not for all of us.
As Jamie himself has said, having Dionne back after 3 months away was a big thing for the channel itself regardless of the viewers especially so since she's been there from the start.
And anyone who has been watching from the start will know that Dionne was involved in a lot of Elite's early jaw dropping stuff. The Spotlight strip for example, not to mention her legendary 2-4-1's with Paige Ashley, TJ and then Hazel.
The "problem" with Danica is easily solved. Just put some of her night shows on a loop and there you go. It was exciting stuff at first but it very quickly became the same performance over and over again.
Now, you yourself may need to make out a load of hype was created to mask the regular no shows of your favourite girl but in truth, Dionne had been steaming up Elite regularly long before Danica ever showed up.
