Although not every man, including celebrities, (cough cough William Shatner) should pull on a speedo, but so many of the hunks from the 70's and 80' filled them out beautifully! Those who watched the show know it began with the pool events, and most of the contestants were introduced by standing on the diving platform in their speedos.

In the show' first few seasons, it appeared speedos were mandatory, with all of the male celebrities, sported the skimpy swim wear. In the latter seasons, either the network, or the celebrities themselves, became a little more timid, and bike shorts were permitted, but it was those early speedo days that brought us so many incredible photos!

I have been looking for images of the Battle men in Speedos since FH first began, and have found so many great ones. Each year however, I find another one or two, and know there are still many others out there that have yet to be published on the net. Something to look forward to!

OMG, thank you for these BOTNS pics! Brings back so many memories of this cheesy- yet HOT -series. It's interesting to think how if there were a version of this today, there would be the potential for so many more hot guys competing, what with a kajillion networks & streaming services now, yet I seriously doubt the male celebrities would wear Speedo bikinis. The female celebs would probably wear skimpy bikinis/thongs, but the men would wear regular short swimsuits. How have we become so much more prudish when it comes to the male form, yet more exhibitionist with women's nudity? (This is a rhetorical question.) Thanks again FH, for digging out & posting these photos!
