Randall told the Daily News that stars like Wendy and Kirstie Alley end up revealing more and more skin as the season goes on. "What I've found is that when the bodies are getting more and more toned, they're having the time of their life. They're so proud of their bodies that they want to show more."

Plus, he says the producers like to push the envelope, "push the spareness, the bareness." If anything, he says, the hardest part is when stars start the show ready to bare it all.
