One of the most watched (mocked and criticized) reality shows started last week in France, on private channel TF1. La Ferme Célébrités en Afrique is inspired by Swedish TV show Farmen, which was launched back in 2001.
The third French edition is taking place in South Africa, with wild animals… and, as usual, with celebrities, some being not-that-well-known people, hence the many bad reviews on that show, in spite of the big audience figures.
Among the candidates of this third edition, one can find US born and 1979 Luxembourg entrant Jeane Manson, as well as Céline Dion’s sister, Claudette Dion.Claudette Dion is one of Céline’s many elder sisters (the Dion family includes 14 children, Céline being the youngest). Claudette has recorded two CD albums in Canada but was completely unknown since last week in France.
Every contender in La Ferme is competing on behalf of a charity : Jeane Manson for “Everybody sing against cancer” and Claudette Dion for “La Fondation Maman Dion” (educational foundation which provides school supplies and clothing to underprivileged children).
