Celebrity Fit Club

I can't tell if I love or hate Celebrity Fit Club. Rachel watches it from time to time, so I'll catch bits and pieces of it. The part of me that hates it is that they humilate people and make them do things that make them look ridiculous. The part I like is that it probably motivates a lot of people. Now more about the humiliation factor.

Last night they had the "celebrities" performing in an olympics of sorts. They had them doing pushups, crunches, a 1/2 mile run, a sprint over hurdles and my personal favorite the long jump. Bruce Vilanch was my absolute favorite at the long jump. This week he jumped a whopping 4 inches. A 3 inch improvment from an earlier show. Come on!!! I mean, I think an 80 year old woman could jump more than 4 inches. Seriously, take a ruler and look at how small 4 inches is. A Sharpie is 4 inches long, that computer mouse on your desk is 4 inches long.

Then on the other side of the spectrum was Gunnar Nelson. Yes, that Gunnar Nelson. He has no right to be on this show. The guy weighed in at like 155 pounds. He's competing with the rest of the people who are much more overweight. So he looks like Bruce Jenner in the decathalon of 1976. It was like watching a cheetah race a pack of three toed sloths. Young Mc did 15 pushups, oh but Gunnar beat him by doing 30. Young Mc and Gunnar both did 100 crunches, but Gunnar did them faster. Gunnar wasn't holding back at all. He was trying his damndest. Gunnar completed the 1/2 mile run in like 4 minutes. His closet competition was Vanessa from the Cosby Show. I'm waiting for Gunnar to enter the special olympics so he can feel really great about himself.
