Diana DeGarmo pie pendulum

Diana DeGarmo was an American Idol contestant. She was a very sweet and nice person. She actually married another American Idol contestant Ace Young. The two were asked to compete in a couples challenge. It was a game taken from What Would You Do?. One spouse was placed in the pie pendulum. It was a sort of board that was controlled by a crank, which moved the front of it closer and closer to an enormous pie. The person’s face would move closer to the giant pie. The spouse in the device would be asked a series of questions that the spouse had answered prior to the show. Each time they got one wrong, they would move closer and closer to the pie as they were cranked down by their spouse. It was very dramatic as they could see the pie getting closer and closer. Also, it was now rigged up so the person’s pie would not miss or only go half way in. It was also rigged with some surprises. Of course, if the person managed to get all of the questions correct, their spouse would then replace them and would be going into the pie.

Diana elected to be the one to go into the device, because she was sure that she would get all of the questions correct. Both spouses were quite nervous. Even though Diana was confident, she was nervous all the same because it would be very embarrassing if she were to lose. That enormous pie lay down below as well. It looked incredibly ominous, sitting there waiting for her.

Things started off really well for Diana. She got the first two questions correct. When the third one was asked, she was shocked to learn that she had gotten it wrong. Her husband smiled and she grimaced as he got to crank her down for the first time. Everyone counted as he cranked the pendulum five times. This caused the board to straighten out and to move Diana’s face closer to the pie. She grimaced as she looked down on it.

She then got the next question incorrect as well. When the host said it was incorrect, she shouted out, “No!” The audience applauded and cheered. Her husband then got to crank her down some more. Everyone counted to five as he slowly turned the crank. It moved a bit more quickly now, creaking as it went. Her face moved closer and closer. The anticipation was agonising. She knew that she was in trouble now.

It was clear that the next question was make or break for her. If she got it wrong, she was definitely going to be facing that pie below her. She was asked the question about her husband’s favourite cereal. “He doesn’t even eat cereal,” she blurted out. “Be that as it may, we still need an answer,” the host said. “Uh well, I guess cornflakes,” she answered. “Ok, this is the moment of truth. You guessed cornflakes. Let us see what your husband answered.” “Rice krispies,” he replied. “Oh no, Diana. Our apologies, but you were wrong and you know what that means. Ace my friend, crank her down.” Diana pointed at him and waved her hands. She then closed her eyes and awaited the inevitable.

He began to crank the crank, moving her face closer and closer until it smushed right into the pie. It went a bit further. It was an amazing visual watching her expression as she came closer and closer to the pie. Everyone cheered as her face was submerged in the pie. Ace was then thrown a rope. He pulled down on it as hard as he could. With that, the crowning glory, which was pink pie filling fell from above all over Diana’s body. She squealed as she felt it fall all over her. It covered her back and the rest of her body.

Diana’s husband then pumped her back up. She was unstrapped. When she stood up, her face was covered in creamy pie and her body was dripping in pink mess. She shook the host’s hand, though she did not feel like it. She cleared some of the pie from her eyes and waved. She tried to throw it on her husband, but he was too fast.
