Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Does anybody watch Celebrity Fit Club 4?

I have a bit of interesting gossip. I know the ex-wife of Nick Turturro. They have a 21 year old daughter together and Nick hasn't seen her in years or paid child support. His daughter just got married this past year and he didn't even attend the wedding.

I have been hearing awful things about Nick Turturro for over a year now from his ex-wife Jami and it looks as though he will be showing his true colors tonight on CFC4.

Hmmm, well I've never watched this show before......maybe I'll go check it out. Thanks for the info!

Glad you started a thread on the show... I don't know much about Nick.. Seems they 'want' a bad boy there at the start.

I saw the kickoff show last week.. and it seemed tame enough.
I did see a preview when the psychologist looked like she was going to blow a gasket... I guess that must be why!

I'll plan to look on tonight! I've caught the bulk of the other 3... Wasn't sure the show was going to survive.. If you miss the show tonight... It's usually rerun several times throughout the week. Check the MTV schedule.

You think maybe Nick's got drug problems?
I guess we'll get an idea of the scope of his behavior tonight!

Wonder if he'll get thrown off... or leave on his own?

Name the bad boys thus far... There's been one each season!

Jeff Conaway Season 2? or 3?

I made a mistake.. CFC 4 is on VH1...and not MTV.. Those stations are back to back in my line up and since I don't watch either one of them typically aside from this show.. I get them mixed up!

I notice it came on tonight at 9 (EST) and then rerun again at 11:00.. I know it will show again a few times during the week.

I caught a glimpse of Nick's issues.. I have a feeling that it's going to get a lot worse. I feel bad for his teammates!

I sure hope the other members of both teams are able to give him a reality check... in a nice way. He sounded like he needed some therapy!

A few extra notes...( I just caught the rerun..and saw the whole show)

I'm looking forward to the next show and the rest of this series.

This second show of the season (the first weigh in after beginning) netted a total of 78 pounds lost between the 8 people.

Amazing! I think everyone met and or exceeded their goal!

I noticed a couple of them are supposedly doing Dr. Ian's Smith Smash diet which is some sort of cleansing diet. Here is a link with more info.. I'm sure we will be hearing more about it.

I noticed they are also giving more healthful tips for the home viewers this time around as well.

The show is also plugging some sort of GNC drink or supplement called Xlerate.. or something like that. Not sure if the contestants are using it... But the product seems to be a major sponsor.

Not sure if the diet and or product helped contribute to the phenomenal weight loss success this time. It will be interesting to see if it continues.

I have watched most of the episodes of Celebrity Fit Club. I can't recall all of the names of the contestants, but, they have had some of the most outrageous behavior that I have ever seen on a show.

Do you remember the guy who played on Eight is Enough? I think his name was Willie Aimes. He went ballistic when his trainer showed up ringing his door bell one morning to summon him to come out for a workout. He began beating the door and shouting like a lunatic.

Jeff Conaway, who was mentioned earlier was also, way out of control. I think Gary Bussey was also on a while back. Then there was a rock singer...I can't recall his name. It seems that these people have serious substance abuse and/or mental health issues.

Seems to me that these matters should appear during the application process. The show appears to really want to help people. Maybe they use the show to demonstrate to these troubled people just how bad they need help.
