In Confessions of a Teen Idol, seven former teen idols will live together under one roof, and Scott Baio will take on the challenge of remaking their careers. Baio, currently experiencing his own career revitalization, will coach and mentor these once hot celebrities with help from his good friend, actor turned producer Jason Hervey (Wayne from The Wonder Years), a therapist specializing in fame, and a team of Hollywood insiders.
Over the course of eight one-hour episodes, viewers will see the former teen idols analyze their past successes and failures to find out where it all went wrong, then take what they’ve learned and reinvent themselves in an effort to reclaim their careers. Each week, the former idols will explore a different aspect of being famous, uncovering some dark truths about being famous that will shock the audience.
Scott Baio and Jason Hervey are back on VH1, but this time they are helping 7 other teen idols try to recapture what they once had. There are 7 interesting personalities entering the house. Eric Nies is the weirdest of them all and it will be interesting to see how the other 6 will react to oddities. Adrian Zmed is the peacemaker and the daddy of the household. It is weird seeing Billy Hufsey, he doesn’t look like he did when he did Fame so I spent the whole show trying to see the old him. Christopher Atkins still looks great and seems content where he is at. Jeremy Jackson really seems like he wants a second chance. David Chokachi remains pretty quiet until the end of the show where he is ready to walk away. Jamie Walters has his life together and remains quiet throughout the first episode.
The 7 celebs go to a therapist and the first one to confront her on her experience is Eric Nies, but as the weeks go on he will not be the only one. The 7 will have to also go through a focus group and the reality on where they stand will hit them hard. With all they are doing will they be able to be the guys that all the girls want and all the boys want to be. I think some of them really have a chance, and I am hoping they do. I can’t wait to see their transformation on this show because this show is sincerely originaly and really good!
So tune into Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH1 tonight at 8p and every Sunday.
