Somehow, I'm embarassed to admit, I got sucked into watching VH1's Celebrity Fit Club this weekend. Normally, I find the show to be an uninteresting train wreck. Over Christmas break, a few of us were sitting around in front of the TV and I caught several episodes in a row where Dustin Diamond, the guy who played Screech on Saved By the Bell, mouthed off to the drill seargant and got himself the title of "bad boy." To make a long story short, he became a pain the ass by continuing to eat cheeseburgers and generally annoy everyone throughout the "season." He also made a very loud and obnovious point to pimp his sex tape - yes, seriously - at every opportunity.
Fast forward to this weekend, when they are airing "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp." In some weird twist, they have "brought back" some previous contestants (read: cheap Omarosa-style publicity stunt) to revisit the Fit Club. Now, unlike a show like The Biggest Loser, where contestants work out, eat healthy, live on set, and lose up to 12 to 15 lbs or more each week, these celebutards are given fluff goals like 1 or 2 lbs to lose each week, and they routinely fail because it's a joke: they show up for a day or two each week, they eat whatever the hell they want, regularly talking about how they fell short, and admit to working out a day or two each week. It's not a "fit club," it's a few attention-starved chunky idiots who can't stick to a diet.
Anyway, leave it to worthless Dustin Diamond to start his princess behavior again. After carrying on, he let the "drill seargant" get to him when he quit...again. He quit one challenge before it started. He quit another when he claimed to be "out of lung capacity." Then he skimped on a third the WWE "Divas" hosted. He claims they pushed him too hard and then, when the drill seargant said he wanted the WWE Divas to kick his butt, he suggested he couldn't be a party to an illegal threat of violence.
But the part that kills me is how Diamond is suggesting that he's being targetted because he's Jewish and not because he's en effing pansy. He's a whiny, arrogant, big fat baby and he acts like a spoiled child who needs to be shipped off to military school. Every insult - for which these shows are known! - prompts a phone call to his lawyer or to his "manager" (aka his wife). It has nothing to do with being Jewish, Dustin, it has to do with being a grade A douche bag.
Dustin Diamond is effing worthless. He, much like the previously mentioned Omarosa, should never be allowed on TV again. Reality TV may be the crack of programming, but there are some people who are best left completely ignored. Dustin Diamond is one of them.

Realityposted by Soulbender (romabysen at gmail_dot_com) on 04/14/2008 11:16 PM (Reply)You realize it's a *reality* show and that it's perfectly possible that Dustin was contracted to be a jerk, right?
How interesting would it be if everyone was nice? A jerk does wonders for the ratings.
RE: Realityposted by Adam S (adam-at-firsttube·com) on 04/15/2008 8:24 AMIt's possible, but frankly, it would bother me if they approached it that way, if, to be "the jerk", they resorted to tactics like that. Nothing frustrates me more than when someone brings up anti-semitism or racism when, in fact, they are just being an ass. I also think it accomplishes the opposite - it leaves people with the impression that racism and anti-semitism aren't real problems because the people who use those words aren't truly being discriminated against, they are just dillweeds.
