Don't worry Isaac, you look better than Tina Yothers

Celebrity Fit Club is back. I'm sure that's not all that exciting for most of you, and I have never been able to faithfully watch an entire season of this show, but it is good for a random tune-in now and then. For those that don't know, a bunch of D-list celebrities who have gained weight since their halycon days go on this VH1 show designed to help them lose weight. They are split into two teams which then "compete" on a weekly basis to see which team loses more weight. (And the first three seasons have featured some real high points, most involving drugs and either Jeff Conaway or Daniel Baldwin.)

The show is now in its fourth season. It looks like there is some potential for greatness this season when you look at some of the competitors--Family Ties' Tina Yothers will be competing. This is about as shocking as Lance Bass coming out of the closet--I don't think any of us thought Jennifer Keaton was going to grow up slim. MTV's Remote Control even had a trivia category named "Inside Tina Yothers" for years. Those who remember the show know they didn't chose Tina because of her superior acting abilities and cute figure.

Some of the other celebrities competing are a little more surprising:

Carnie Wilson?! Didn't she have gastric bypass a few years ago?! What is she doing on this show? Didn't a ton of People covers chronicle her weight-loss and subsequent plastic surgery to get rid of the extra skin left after said dramatic weight loss? Did she really gain it back even though her stomach is the size of a small fist? Did she just get bored waiting for the Wilson Phillips comeback album? Did the incessant looping of "Hey Santa" on every radio station between Thanksgiving and New Year's not satisfy her craving for the spotlight? What's going on here?

Erika Eleniak?! She was on Baywatch. She should be busy attending the weddings of Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock while wearing a string bikini. Instead, she's sweating it out with Big Pussy from The Sopranos and some guy named "Bonecrusher." Who would have thought?

But most importantly...our very own Isaac will be featured on the show! How could he have kept this very important information from us? Too many drinks on the Lido deck? All those empty calories can help to pack on the pounds.

Good luck Isaac!

Red Fraggle left out the fact that she and I were off to an exotic destination (St. Louis, Missouri, aka SloMo) where we saw my appearance on the show. You'd think I would have known it was on!
