Ah yes!

Gary Bussey, I forgot about him... I thought there was a rock singer too at one point...that didn't cooperate very well.. I think in the first season.. Maybe it was Willie Ames..


Daniel Baldwin (I think I have the right Baldwin) ... was WAY out of control on there too!

This season seems notably different from the previous 3 seasons.

At least Nick doesn't seem to be on drugs or anything. Just seems to be high strung.. in the coping/competing arena!

It was really sweet last night that the guy from the Soprano's was so complimentary of Carnie Wilson...

Everyone did phenomenal... Hopefully just the right chemistry of people taking it seriously.. Or they've revamped the show..and giving them extra incentives..

As I mentioned I'm looking forward to watching the season and see each of the members progress.

Another thought Debby, Is that they want the proverbial bad boy or drama queen.. But they should definitely require the person to pass drug screening or something..

I remember one women admitted to taking diet pills. It hink it might have been during CFC2.. They should have guidelines for those wanting to be on the show.. It could be an opportunity for some... to better their health and possibly boost their careers through exposure.

I agree KPW. But, I think that they are afraid well behaved sober celebs might not maintain the audience interest or maybe they just want to get those out of control users on national tv in order for them to make fools of themself so they can see how they really are and shock them into rehab. I don't know.

Everybody says Hollywood is full of freaks and screwed up people. Maybe the pool of contestants is not as large as we may think.

If you haven't seen it yet... Check out one of the reruns this week. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Only Nick is the minor negative and not nearly as bad as the previous bad boys. Not yet anyway...

It's good to see Carnie Wilson getting some positive attention. Everytime I have seen her speak she talks about how she was ridiculed her entire childhood for being fat. She said eveyone called her fat and she was so wounded from it. As you know her father was a major substance abuser for most of her life. How she turned out so well is incredible!

Whoo boy... Anybody see this weeks episode? All Heck broke loose... I can't say Nick did it either. Just alot of bad feelings all the way around.. Started off on the wrong foot when each team had to vote someone off to the other team.. Angie got voted off her original team.. and then Carnie (who was captain) got voted off.. Then Ted wanted to be captain... and Angie got mad and wanted to be captain... It was ridiculous... That was all before the actual poop hit the fan!

Vinnie blew up, Ted Blew up.. Angie walked out!

Yikes...

Next weeks looks even stranger.. Gary Busey (who was a whacked out participant on an earlier CFC season). He looks wild eyed.. Something to do with some sort of indian dancing.. I did find an interview with Ted and Vinnie...and Ted said in the interview that he was most moved with the Indian exercise/focus. So that should be interesting.

I know the rerun of this weeks episode will be on several times this week.. If someone wants a laugh or to scratch their heads.. I sure hope they can regroup and get back on track. They never even made it out to the group/team scales episode.. I don't even think that everyone got weighed..

It was just strange... If they have another one that goes that badly...they might as well 'can' the show.. I sure hope they weren't acting that badly just to stir up the ratings..
