Nicole Eggert dons the red swimsuit of Summer Quinn from “Baywatch” one more time for a video meant to bite back at all those who have something bad to say about her weight. A constant presence in the tabloids for some weight gain, Eggert agrees to take the ultimate revenge against her critics via this skit for Funny Or Die.

The video sees Nicole as a lifeguard again, running to rescue two swimmers who are apparently drowning in the ocean. The only problem is, though, that the swimmers are not really in danger, since they are faking it because they know a hot lifeguard will come and give them mouth-to-mouth, which, in turn, helps one of the guys know the girlfriend that just dumped him wouldn’t be the last to kiss him.

Whereas “Baywatch” would also focus on how its many female stars would run, the Funny Or Die video does the same, but from a different perspective – that is, with some emphasis on the rolls on Nicole’s tummy, her “love handles” and her backside. As she arrives by the water, the two men feigning mortal danger tell her to go back, clearly because she’s not as hot as they had expected her to be. Upset and hurt, Nicole fights back at them, telling them that she’s a real woman and, as such, she has gained weight.

She still gets the last laugh, though – as you will see in the video here, no need to spoil it for you. Suffice it to say, though, that, by agreeing to do this video and put on the red swimsuit again, Nicole Eggert has shown critics that she can be tougher than them no matter what they write about her weight, it is being said. She has also demonstrated that, at 37 and a mother, she still has a body that makes her proud.

However, Nicole is on her way to doing something about the extra pounds. The star is to appear in the upcoming season of Celebrity Fit Club, where Bobby Brown, ex-husband of Whitney Houston, rocker Sebastian Bach, KayCee Stroh of “High School Musical” and Kevin Federline, former husband of Britney Spears, are also scheduled to appear in a public bid to fight the flab.
