Celebrity Fit Club: What Exactly Did K-Fed Eat?

Last night, Celebrity Fit Club returned for a new season of Boot Camp and while there's a part of me that still misses Ant and the lazy people not showing up to work out because of their insanely busy schedules of local Best Buy appearances, there's another part of me that really appreciates that this format allows Harvey to go nuts and torture people. Have you seen that obstacle course? That looks actually challenging... and muddy!

This season even has a halfway decent group of celebs, i.e. a better-than-usual random assortment of the pseudo-famous. There's Gilmore Girls star/Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach, Shar "I got screwed over by K-Fed" Jackson, Project Runway's first winner, Bad Girls Club's Queen of Popping Off Tanisha, Whitney's ex-husband, the overweight girl from those High School Musical movie, and former Baywatch babe Nicole Eggert. Lastly, there's K-Fed, who's at least double the size his old backup-dancin' self (now his kids know who stole all of their Cheetos and McNuggets). It's an odd mix to be sure, but so far it works. There doesn't seem to be any crazy, unstable or drugged-up people who will need to be removed from the show, so that's a bonus (depending on how you look at it).

Here are my quick first impressions of the cast: Jay McCarroll (the PR winner) totally impressed me with his ability to scale a tower like Spider-Man despite being built more like The Thing. Tanisha, well, she's stubborn, but I love that she still finds time to comment on the attractiveness of all the men and make sexual innuendos. Bobby Brown: this man needs a nutritionist to explain to him that fried chicken is not a diet food. HSM girl (KayCee Stroh) was fine and seems determined to get skinny, which is good for her, but the only reason that I even remotely know her is because of her curves. Sebastian Bach was so adorable when he saw the drummer from Def Leppard, I just wanted to give him a big old hug. Shar Jackson really wants to be known as something other than K-Fed's ex, but "coincidentally" landed on the same season as him, so that's not going to work out well for her. Nicole Eggert is too skinny to be on this show. K-Fed needs to just man up and not be such a wuss all the time. I'm so going to look forward to Harvey beating the hell out of him all season. In fact, if they could get Jillian Michaels to make a special appearance just to berate him and force him to carry her around piggyback style, that'd be even better.

And that brings me to my biggest problem with this show: The Biggest Loser has skewed my perspective of obesity so much that when these people step on the scale and barely weigh over 200 pounds, it doesn't seem like they're fat at all. In fact, Nicole Eggert weighed in at what is a Biggest Loser final goal weight. So why can't she just go to the gym for a week and eat some carrots and do that Kim Kardashian cleanse thing instead of being on this show? Even K-Fed, who looks like a white version of Grimace, isn't that far into the 200s. The "little" guys on The Biggest Loser are like 300 pounds at minimum. When Harvey told most of them that their goal was to lose about 30 pounds in nine weeks, my jaw kind of dropped. That's like three weeks on BL's campus with Bob and Jill. So I'm not going to expect any double-digit weight losses in the next few weeks; it'll take me time to adjust to these numbers.

But aside from that, which says more about BL's success and about how all those shows on Discovery Health keep finding increasingly larger people than about Fit Club itself, the show is pretty entertaining. And to be fair, it'd be difficult to find enough actual (or even close to actual) celebrities in the 500-pound range to populate a show like this, despite the prayers of the editors at places like TMZ and Star magazine.

Anyway, let us know what you thought of the season premiere and don't miss our fabulous interview with Tanisha.
