Celebrity spinoff - The Biggest Loser Fansite Forums

Has anyone seen the celebrity spinoff versions of TBL? It's pitifully bad. They weigh in in evening gowns wearing jewelry and shoes and all sorts of silliness. I don't think they work with trainers much either, but they sure do cry and whine a lot. I don't like the show, but it does motivate me not to whine lest I look like them.

I agree - seeing other people whine about working out and dieting just lets you know how silly you will look if you whine. Whining is not a part of losing weight - you have to want it to get it!

OMG I have watched this show sometimes cause it's so rediculous! I don;t think I have ever caught a full episode cause I usually find it as I am channel srfing... How about at the end where both teams stand on the big scale and see which team weighs more...kindof funny

Yes Damzel, Celebrity Fit club- that's what it's called. Thanks. It's some wierd mix between really funny and kinda sad. These people have the time and must take a lot of flack for being overweight in an appearance industry -but weighing in wearing leather jackets and Bling -as if it doesn't add to their weight! It's funny by comparison too -in TBL they are losing sometimes double digit numbers. The Celebrities? Celebrate losing 1-2 lbs. 1-2 lbs is good -if it's not the weight of their jackets.

It's nowhere near the BL people though. It's a good sign though that TBL is already generating spinoffs. I hope TBL show stays around a long time.

It's called Celebrity Fit Club and I think it's on VH1. Honestly in my opinion... it's really not worth the time of watching it

I agree...it really isn't worth watching. I think the part when they weigh in on the large scale is ridiculous...give me a break. The trainer is also very rude to these people...I would have to knock him out.

One positive thing...they know they need to do something about their weight and they are willing to do something about it. Well...some of them are.
