Louie Anderson Looses 1LB. in Tears Diving Off The Pool
Funnyman Louie Anderson made an unexpected return to TV diving show Splash after beauty queen Katherine Webb was forced to quit on doctor's orders.
I don’t know what’s up with Louie and that pool. He can’t dive, he ca ’t swim, he is not funny when he is crying and he is not loosing any weight. He can’t having fun because all he does is get weight, injured and cries. If he wanted to abuse his body a tough trainer and a gym, with a pool if he wants, that will make live his live a little longer.
The comic wowed the audience by walking out triumphantly on to the highest diving board in a patriotic stars and stripes swimsuit as the crowd chanted his name before plunging into the water below.
The rules of the show state that if a contestant has to leave the last eliminated person is allowed to return - in this case, Louie.
But his return was short-lived after he chose to bow out of the contest after landing in the bottom two.
He offered to quit because he didn't think he could go any further, giving Brandi Chastain another chance at winning the Splash crown.
'We have Super Louie in front of us,' said judge David Boudia after Louie jumped
Louie wept, saying: 'That's the bravest thing I ever did.'
David gave him seven-and-a-half points, while Steve Foley gave him seven.
'I don't know of any 400lb person who's ever [done that],' said Steve.
'It's 399 lbs,' Louie corrected him.
On Tuesday night’s show each hopeful had to dive off the10 metre platform - 33 ft in the air, falling at speeds of up to 35mph.
The judges shared their horror stories of dives gone wrong - admitting they had been left bleeding and bruised by misjudging their jumps.
'It feels like you're hitting a brick wall,' admitted David Boudia.
