Celebrity Fit Club (VH1)

AIWANNABE · 01-03-2005, 10:16 PM

In this first episode we are introduced to our cast of eight overweight celebrities; Daniel Baldwin, Kim Coles (Living Single), Joe Gannascoli (The Sopranos), Judge Mablean Ephriam (Divorce Court), Biz Markie, Ralphie May (Last Comic Standing), Mia Tyler and Wendy Kauffman (The Snapple Lady.)

The celebrities meet our panel of experts: Dr. David Katz, hypnotherapist Marisa Peer and fitness trainer Harvey Walden IV. The panel chooses two team captains and the captains pick teams as we put the celebrities through a grueling workout and learn the back-story of each celebrity and their reasons for coming on the show.

The celebrities are weighed in individually, and at the end of the show, both teams weigh in on the giant scales. The scales are then calibrated so we can compare the two teams cumulative weight loss over the course of the show.

Mia Tyler, Model
Start Weight: 210 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 33.2%
Goal: "It's not so much losing weight but it's just kind of forcing me to have a healthier life. And, um I got a group of girls on the internet that are all kinda doing it with me. We set up a little web site and they're gonna follow my routine. And, uh -- it's just important to me to show people that it's not how much you weigh, it's about how healthy you are"

Biz Markie, Rapper
Start Weight: 344 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 27.2%
Goal: "People have been nagging me about my weight and of course people been saying 'yo, you're getting older and you need to do this' and, you know, people around me have been dying of heart attacks. So they said I should get myself in shape. I just need to do that, and I'll be all right."

Daniel Baldwin, Actor
Start Weight: 264 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 20.1%
Goal: "My goal in this show is to weigh 220 pounds, um, 220 or under, so after the eight weeks are up, that final weigh in I'd like to weigh 220 and I think I weigh about 250 now, so that's about a 30 pound loss, somewhere in there."

Wendy "The Snapple Lady" Kaufman
Start Weight: 245 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 43%
Goal: "Well once I get into it, I'm more of a cheerleader, I mean I'm not technically going in with pom pom's cheerleading, but you know what? I'm loud, I'm aggressive, I'm assertive. I see Judge Mablean as the captain 'cause she's the law, you know, she knows the law, um, but I just wanna be on the team - I don't wanna tell people what to do. I'm a good director sometimes so, we'll see what happens."

Joe Gannascoli, Actor - The Sopranos
Start Weight: 302 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 27.7%
Goal: "Um, to win the competition as a team. My main goal is, with the Celebrity Fit Club, is to win the competition as a team. Achieve my personal goals, knocking off the weight, quittin' smoking, and, uh, getting endorsements."

Kim Cole, Actress - Living Single
Start Weight: 220 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 34.7%
Goal: "Let me say this to you - here's the problem with weight loss and weight loss in America...a lot of people have unrealistic goals and unrealistic, um, visions of what's going to happen in their lives. I'll get a man when I lose weight. I'll get a better job when I lose weight. I'll be happy and joyful all the time. It ain't about that. I don't have any of that unrealistic crap going on with me. I just think I'm going to be healthier and that's the real goal - that's the most important goal. Health is wealth."

Ralphie May, Comedian - Last Comic Standing
Start Weight: 481 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 72.7%
Goal: "There's two things I really want to do, that I haven't been able to do in years, well, one I've never even been able to attempt to do. I want to ride a bicycle, okay, go bicycle riding with my girlfriend and I want to learn how to surf. I've always wanted to do that. I thought it was cool, you know. Ever since I saw Happy Days and I saw Potsie take an ironing board out there and try to surf just to get the ladies, I loved it. I thought it was great. And that, that was so cool. I want to do that."

Judge Mablean, Divorce Court
Start Weight: 208 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 29.1%
Goal: "Well, from watching Judge Mablean on Celebrity Fit Club you're going to learn some of my weaknesses, of course. You're going to see some of my strengths as well. You're going to see that when I set a goal that I go for it so you're going to see my tenaciousness. You're also going to see some laughter. You're going to see some failure. Uh, I mean, there will be some of those exercises that I won't be able to do. You may see some anger on my part. Uh, and you're going to see some fun. That's what you will see. But, most of all, you will see a slimmer fit Judge Mablean."

Awww, I like Daniel Baldwin just the way he is. There's just more of him to lurve.

And sadly, I don't get VH1, so I guess I'll never know how it turns out.

Holy crap. Ralphie has 72.7% body fat? That's the kind of percentage where you have to start counting in years instead of decades. Even The Snapple Lady is a snackin' amateur compared to him.

Hee. Daniel Baldwin. Takes a Baldwin to make it silly.

Alright, the show's starting Sunday; anyone else watching?

Oculona · 01-09-2005, 06:25 PM

I can't wait till tonight. I wonder if it will be super campy or if they will actually try to help them lose weight. I like many of the participants and think it will be entertaining.

Swingsongbird · 01-09-2005, 06:28 PM

I'm going to have to watch. I will have to tape it for treadmill watching since it's past my bedtime...

colby_d · 01-09-2005, 07:15 PM

Isn't my favorite "Last Comic Standing" Ant the one who's hosting it?

Same here, Oculona. It's going to be The Biggest Loser on speed with all of the drama.
