One of our podcaster friends said this week "They do a good job of not sexualizing Erika Eleniak" which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

She was hired specifically because she was sexy and beautiful. She was sexual (and naked in Playboy) before she was ever on Baywatch.

I suppose it would've been possible to show her curves a bit more often, or add some cleavage to each scene, but why on earth is anyone concerned about the exact amount of sexy the producers chose? Is the world better or worse because we saw more or less of Erika's body?

I'll have to post the audio of this insane exchange, because the sexualization of Hasselhoff is also mentioned. Hasselhoff was hired specifically because he was beautiful and sexy. Tom Selleck turned down the roll, precisely because he didn't want to be a sex symbol.
