If you've checked out my past Battle themed posts, you know I'm all about that speedo bulge. If it were all about bulges, I think Willie Aames may have taken the lead. (HERE:) Although Aames and Scott Baio brought the youth energy and athletes to the ABC team, it was CBS who took the win. Powered by the strength of Gregory Harrison and Tom Selleck, and a very strong female roster, the other teams didn't stand a chance.
Most of these caps I made are from the celebrity introductions made near the beginning of the show. This time, it was just before the kayak competition in the Pepperdine University swimming pool. Unfortunately, like some other episodes in the series, this time, the camera stayed at waist level or above. There were some speedo and full body shots, but not during the intros If you want to watch, the intros, and entire episode, there are clips on Youtube.
Although the network didn't give us a great shot of Gregory Harrison from the front, they did give us a peak at his back and butt as he exited the pool.
I've featured Tom Selleck a few time son the site, not because I'm a fan as much as his impact as a sex symbol during the 80's and 90's. I did however, find his playful strip entering the dunk tank worth a closer look....
