Men vs. Women Slimdown Showdown
Those giant scales and Ant are back for the fifth season of VH1’s CelebReality staple, Celebrity Fit Club. This season will pit the men against the women in their weight loss competition for fabulous prizes and a smaller waistline. To make things fairer, the contestants will be competing for percentage of weight lost instead of actual pounds.
Dr. Ian Smith and Drill Instructor Harvey Walden IV again sit on the panel of experts, but Dr. Linda Papadapolous is taking the season off and will be replaced by psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser. There promises to be fireworks in the very first episode’s fit camp when some of the fit clubbers resist Harvey’s charming demands.
The contestants cover a wide range this year in both level of celebrity and amount of weight to lose. The women’s team consists of Maureen “Marcia Brady” McCormick, rapper Da Brat, American Idol third place contestant Kimberley Locke, and 80s pop princess Tiffany. The men are Dustin “Screech” Diamond, country music parody artist Cledus T. Judd, R&B artist Warren G, and Ross “The Tonight Show Intern” Matthews. To learn more about the show or to see “before” pictures, head on over to the Celebrity Fit Club page at VH1.com.
Which team will lose the most weight? Tune in at 9:00 PM ET on Sundays starting April 22nd to cheer on your favorites while eating some Twinkies as you sit on the couch. Ahhh, CelebReality.

I love celebrity fit club!
I have seen both Ross the Intern and Kimberley Locke since they stopped filming and they both look great!
I haven’t seen Screech in awhile and I always picture him as a pretty lanky guy, so it will be interesting to see him overweight.
