Celebrity Fit Club Finale Breakdown - Farewell Fit Club, Hello Hot Bods
The last episode of Celebrity Fit Club was so good, it made Sommore do THIS:
Hoo-rah?
For one last time, we’re recapping the five best moments on this week’s Fit Club. Now technically, Erin’s acid-washed jean jacket deserves its own set of honors, because holy crap, how great was this thing?!
Erin’s fame is retro, and so is her coat. But her attitude? Totally NOW, which is why she starts out the countdown!
5. The Erin Factor
The poor red team tried desperately - even forcefully - to get this woman to work, but all Erin wants to do is smile and get some money, ya’ll! They former child star tried so little at Fit Club that she actually GAINED a pound on the finale! There’s a reason her team tried to strip her of any prizes she could have won in the finale, so perhaps it’s better that they didn’t win at all? We probably shouldn’t suggest that, or Tocarra and Willie will be after us, too!
4. Is There Anything Willie Won’t Do?
Willie is crazy, yes, but that’s kind of his greatest charm. The guy worked out for six hours a day, fought hard for his team, sweated all night in the gym (and outside!) before the final weigh-in, battled Erin’s lazy-bones, got Harvey’s face tattooed on his leg and won the individual weight lose battle - for what? Ahhh, all for Willie. That’s the way we like it.
Congrats, soldier.
3. Shattered Glass, Shattered Pasts
After all the crazy, militaristic challenges these eight have had to do, why not walk on glass after being woken by a mariachi band, right? This final challenge seems pretty normal in the Fit Club world. And so, on the eve of their final weigh-in, Harvey brought the gang out to work with this dude:
A glass-walking expert whose crazy eyes rival Erin’s. The dude - whose name I forgot as I was so mesmerized by his eyes - instructs the Clubbers to remain present in their minds and bodies, and not to jump on the glass as they walk. These are also awesome life lessons, for those of you taking notes. Everyone hops along on the glass, proving that these eight may have lost weight, but they’ve gained confidence - and a newfound willingness to do insane things! Tear-shedding time!
2. Queen Tina
Is it just us, or does everyone want to be BFF/sisters/pen-pals with Tina Yothers? Willie’s greatest rival lost 11 pounds in her last week on the show, and even though her methods were a bit shady (Protein and water only? BLERGH!) , she kinda earned the right to go there. Because honestly, Tina can do whatever the hell she wants - including looking super hot at her final weigh-in. Tina, call me! Let’s go shopping!
1. Transformers
The best part of the entire show (aside Sommore getting her dog tags and Toccara announcing that she was “catching a diva moment,” natch) was the awesome transformations of the entire cast. Even those who didn’t lose much weight looked hot - and how sexed out was Erin in that red dress? Damn girl! Toccara and Dr. Ian got to hug it out over her balanced BMI (and seriously, she looks GOOOOOOD) , and in the end everyone changed, even just a little bit.
But in the end there can only be one winner. And so it was with a lot of cheers and confetti that Willie got his wish - Erin got no prizes, and Tina won it all. Unfortunately, so did Mr. “I Need to Get Paid” Diamond, but hey, the world isn’t always fair.
Nice work team. And since we’ll never know how Willie and Tocarra resolved their beef with Erin, we hope they settled it Fit Club style, on the obstacle course.
Be sure to check out Harvey kickin butt at Club Med Ixtapa Pacific and meet our Celebrity Fit Club sweepstakes winner, Danielle from Dayton, OH.

I would give anything to be able to participate in a Fit Club to hear a celebrity “just did it for the money” and lost very little with an incredible opportunity…SLAYS ME!!! I am all for a viewer celebrity fit club, I need to lose about 50 lbs and need the motivation that Harvey gives. Give me a call if looking to start that! Love the show, GO TINA & WILLIE!!!

I was reading the Enquirer the other day and they had an article stating that Erin just went on the show because she was behind on her mortgage payments and her house almost went into foreclosure, so all of those here who said she was broke are probably correct. That’s why she was so desperate for the money. It also said that she had no intention on losing weight. VH1, if there is a next season of this season (which I doubt), please get D-listers who actually need to lose weight. Erin,get a real job and get over the fact that Happy Days ended. You’re not a star anymore.

I believe the people who won deserved to win. The blue team was very good. And Willie really deserved to win. AJ made excuses. Erin was annoying. And Toccara was getting to damn %__^ y and suck on herself. So Congratulation goes out Tina, Sommore, Willie, Brian, and even Dustin’s sorry &+`

and too willie…do you still live in the “dotte” like it said in the earlier season. if so, where do you tattoo?

i would like to say to harvey about all those celebrieties that you have on the show that are big giant whiners…to them i say boo-hoo. (i give giant kudos to the celebs that work their $~) off.) i heard all season about parties people had to go to and eat fattening foods, and no time for exercise. i never heard a celebrity say i did not have time to work out because i had to work. i work minimum of nine 12 hour shifts every 2 weeks and have a family. a lot of the time i am either too tired to work out, or do not have time between shuffling kids around, buying groceries, ect. so, i have had a really hard time with all the seasons when i hear that whining bs. i have 3 specific goals i will probably never see because of time constraints. so, next season, when dustin(or whoever) is back with their cry-baby stuff, you feel free to sned them to me, and i can give them a real reason to whine.

Erin said her antics wouldn’t lose her fan club. Well how wrong she is.She has turned into a sleezy psycho witch. Hope she never gets another paycheck and rots in hell.

Dear Willie,
I’ve been watching “Celebrity Fit Club” since season two and I’d just like to say that I’m glad you came back to get a second chance on losing weight. From the first day you were at bootcamp, I knew you were serious about losing weight and becoming a healthier person. You did everything that you were asked to do and I’m so proud of you.
While I watched you on “Celebrity Fit Club” (seasons 2 & 6), there were times when I would look at you and say to myself, “I see a lot of my personality in Willie and I really like it.” I see you as a very sweet and mellow man that I’d be happy to have as a friend. I also see you as a man with a good heart who would accept me the way I am too. Your presence has really grown on me and it made me very happy to see you again during this season of “Celebrity Fit Club”.
Thank you, Willie!

SOMMORE- You are my role model, a great one at that! Your 4-week success was a true success. Everyone can’t lose 20-something pounds in such a short period of time. You are a role model because you didn’t go to the extremes and presented a real outlook on the challenges of eating right and fitness obstacles. Your courage to atleast attempt all of the challenges is one of the best acts of being a role model for us African American women. I would love to see you more with Celebrity Fit Club (maybe on the next season) to see you completely achieve your goals.
You are my hero-Keep going gurl!

One of the reasons I watch the show was because of the people on it. I will watch another Celebrity Fit Club if they have it. If you want to watch a show that is more about weight loss then watch The Biggest Loser. I watch this show because of the drama. Good or Bad it was entertaining.
