Celebrity Fit Club: Men vs. Women – Episode 3, Dustin’s a Big Ole Doody Head
The Fit Clubbers had to face off one-on-one during some kayak races. The winning crew got a trip to Hawaii. The Shady Lady Bunch really wanted to win, especially Maureen McCormick. But, wait…didn’t she already go to Hawaii with the Brady Bunch?
Maureen faced Warren G. who said “If I lose to a fifty year old woman, I’m gonna kick myself in the head.” Now we know why he’s a rapper. He’s so friggin’ eloquent.
Anyway, Warren beat Mo, but barely, two times. They had to face off in a tie-breaker that was just a heartbreaker for the ladies. At least, Kimberley “Self-Righteous Pain in the Rump” Locke beat out Dustin Diamond. Gee, wonder why the producers pit those two together? Could it be for added drama?
This season Celebrity Fit Club has degenerated into the what-can-we-do-to-get-more-ratings-hour. It seems as though VH-1 wants all their shows to resemble the ratings juggernaut that was Flavor of Love. They’ve been focusing a lot of time, attention and camera angles on Dustin Diamond.
In fact, last night’s episode had very little to do with weight loss and a lot with producer-inspired drama. Last week, Dustin unleashed on his fellow with a heaping helping of verbal abuse. This was done with the cameras rolling. So, of course, the producers showed the footage during the weigh-ins this week.
Everyone got ticked off as Dustin took potshots at Da Brat, Cledus and Kimberley Locke. At first, Kimberley said she wasn’t going to dignify any of Dustin’s ravings with a response, but she sure got over that right quick and said some not-so-nice things to him too. However, she felt she was right in doing so because he called her a “loser” first. Well, he also called her fat, but…still…
Kim doesn’t come off smelling like a rose here either. She’s self-righteous and a snob about the whole thing. She’s also immature. Cledus was upset also. Dustin did call him crazy for the fact that he has a phobia about grocery shopping. This week, we learned that, after a plane crash, Cledus doesn’t enjoy flying at all. In fact, he gave his Hawaii trip to Maureen as a gesture of nicety and so he wouldn’t have to get on a plane.
However, Cledus wanted to beat Dustin up. Now, that would’ve been interesting to watch. Didn’t Dustin go on FOX’s Celebrity Boxing before? Of course, that smacks of fifth grade to me, however. Let’s beat Dustin up after class. Geez, people! Grow up. How can you have such a thin skin in the industry you’re in? Does it really matter what Screech thinks or says about you?
Dustin then decided, after he was chewed out by the panel, for eating junk food and losing no weight, that he wanted to quit the show. That seemed fine with everyone else. Why the producers didn’t let him is beyond me? I mean…it’s not like there hasn’t been precedent for this before.
Regardless, Dustin was urged to stay. He remained, but off-mike. He did complain that this was turning into a Dustin-bashing event, which it was. However, he should at least take some responsibility for being a jerk. I feel dirty agreeing with him in a way, but…I don’t have any sympathy for Kim or Da Brat either.
Perhaps, the producers decided to liven up the footage with a brawl because the Fit Clubbers all did poorly this week except for two. Maureen was the weight-loss champ for the gals with four pounds gone. She’s lost a total of 12% of her body weight and is the current leader in that regard. She’s also decided to lower her goal weight to 118 lbs instead of her original 125. Good for you, girl!
Cledus lost five. He’s eating regular meals finally and works out twice a day between 5-6 times a week. (That seems a bit excessive, but hey…I’m not the weight loss expert. A man who has an extreme issue with eating could possibly channel that obsession into exercise, but…caring about his emotional and mental well-being isn’t what this show is about!)
Ross lost one pound. He’s not eating enough, either. In fact, Ross admitted to wanting to beat his old fat self up. Psychotherapist Stacy needs some serious manpower to work with these messed up folks. Warren also lost three pounds. Da Brat lost nada ‘cuz she likes to go to Da Club and get wasted. Kimberley shed two. I wish she’d shed her attitude a bit, but…she’s got an album to promote. Tiffany, who was ill, lost 1 lb.
In the end, the gals pulled further ahead of the guys in total percentage of weight lost at 7.23%. Dustin was given a target of 5 lbs for the next time so I’m presuming he’ll be back, but why would he want to return? I wouldn’t.
Do you think Fit Club is using Dustin as a scapegoat to get more ratings like I do? Is Kimberley Locke as innocent as she thinks she is? What do you think about this season so far? I’d love to know. Email me at panndyra@yahoo.com or comment below.
