I did not believe it when I heard about this show. Was it for real? Would celebrities (or those just in need of some publicity), really go on national television and participate in a “fit camp”?
Yes siree.
Going into its fourth season, Celebrity Fat Camp is a one-hour show where 8 stars compete in 2 groups of 4 to lose weight. They take part in activities both physical and motivational that are designed to shed pounds quickly. They are supposed to work with team spirit and win prizes for their effort.
To be even more degrading, the next day consists of a “weigh-in ceremony” where they are weighed individually in front of the cameras. A “panel of experts” join the show and include a psychologist and fitness trainer.
The contestants on this season’s show will be: Bone Crusher (Rapper), Ted Lange (Actor, known for his role as a bartender on The Love Boat), Angie Stone (R&B Singer), Vincent Pastore (Actor, Big Puss on the Sopranos), Erika Eleniak (Playboy model and Baywatch), Nick Turturro (Actor from NYPD Blues), Tina Yothers (Actress from Family Ties).
Yes, again, I am serious about this show.
