Celebrity Fit Club
Celebrity Fit Club is back for a second season as a one-hour reality show in which eight overweight celebrities compete in two teams of four to lose weight. In each episode the celebrities attend 'Fit Camp' where they take part in a range of physical and motivational activities designed to shed the pounds, increase team spirit and rivalry, and win prizes. In each episode we'll see them at home or work struggling to maintain their regime. And in each episode we'll see them at the 'Weigh In Ceremony' where they'll be individually weighed and judged by the panel: a doctor, a psychologist and their fitness trainer. They are also weighed in teams on a huge counterweight scale. In the final show, each member of the team that has lost the most weight across the series wins a grand prize. This show is about more than diet and exercise. It deals with difficult emotional issues around body image and the fear of failure. The show is constructed to show celebrities as they are rarely seen. By signing up to Celebrity Fit Club they're making a brave statement to the world that they have a problem and they need help to overcome it. The celebrities will be challenged to succeed with a combination of empathy and tough love from our panelists. They'll be aiming to shed pounds, but they'll also have to shed their inhibitions. The show will involve: *Celebrities being weighed publicly. They'll hate it, but admitting your problem is the first step to defeating it. *Celebrities getting the hard facts of their medical condition. *Celebrities in therapy and under hypnosis revealing the deep-rooted emotional reasons for being overweight. *Celebrities subjected to many outrageous varieties of therapies from tried and true yoga, to the latest exercise fad - forza training. *Celebrities with their partners and families, facing up to the reality of their condition. Husbands, wives, partners and children all have their part to play in supporting - and sometimes undermining - the celebrities' efforts. *Celebrities bonding. It's astonishing how the desire to beat the other team can forge friendships and camaraderie. Most of the challenges faced by the cast are funny as well as tough. *And celebrities at war with each other. This seasons cast consists of: *Gary Busey *Sister, Sisters's Jackee Harry *America's Next Top Model Season 3 finalist, Tocarra *Saturday Night Live's Victoria Jackson *Wendy "The Snapple Lady" Kaufman - She's Back! *Charles In Charge's Willie Aames *MTV's Viva La Bam's Phil Margera *Jani Lane, Ex-lead singer of hard rock band Warrant Official Website: Celebrity Fit Club

Episode One The eight celebrities arrive at their first weigh-in ceremony, they meet ANT the host, and the panel of experts who include Dr. Ian Smith, Psychologist Dr. Linda Papadapoulos, and Drill Sergeant Harvey Walden IV. Each celeb gets dunked in a special tank of water that measures their body fat percentage. Then one by one, each celebrity makes their first trip down the catwalk to get a harsh dose of reality - their weight. The panel of experts lay down the law on how much weight they are expected to lose, leaving several celebs in shock with weight loss goals of over 50 pounds in 16 weeks. Toccara seems overcome with joy as Dr. Ian Smith announces her weight at over 200 pounds, while Phil who tops out over 350 pounds is astounded by his weight loss goal of 80 pounds. But this isn't just about how and what you eat, the celebs also get their first taste of fit camp - otherwise known as Harvey's house. Harvey puts them through the paces, measuring and assessing their physical fitness or lack thereof. From sit-ups and push-ups to a 100 meter dash to rock climbing, Phil is sweating before even getting started and Jackee lets her inner-diva out while Gary and Wendy lock horns for the first time. Jani makes an amazing attempt at conquering his fear of heights, and Toccara lets it all hang out running the 100 meters. The sweat drips, the fat jiggles, faces cringe and tempers flare as Harvey pushes the celebs to the brink of exhaustion - and they're just getting started. The panel creates two teams: Gary, Willie, Victoria and Wendy versus Jack‚e, Toccara, Phil and Jani. The panel appoints Gary and Jackee as captains. Willie says he has reservations about Gary and Victoria says she feels like she's joined a cult as Gary rattles off the first of many Busey-isms: "TEAM" stands for Together Everyone Achieves More. The battle is on as Gary and Jackee are determined to lead their teams to victory as they will go head to head at future fit camp competitions and also put their fat-burning skills to the test - because the team which loses the most combined weight over the course of 16 weeks will take home the grand prize.

Gary Busey is one of the coolest men alive.
