Scott Baio, Übermensch.

Few made as much or as consistent an impact on the Battles as young Chachi. Witness his decisive victories in the Obstacle Course over John Beck and unspeakably hot Gregory Harrison (who met the woman to whom he is still married, CHiPs’ Randi Oakes, at this very event). Was Baio the greatest natural athlete of our time? Is it the result of a youth spent “hopping fences in Brooklyn,” as Cosell speculates? Does he emit a pheromone that keeps his competitors at bay, and if so, is it the same one that attracted Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson, or does he have multiple pheromones? Either way, in that race against Gregory Harrison, he nearly takes out a couple of spectators, but it’s clear they would willingly have given their lives this way.
