The Tool Academy

Today I am going to talk about my new and favorite reality TV show, the Tool Academy. This show airs on VH1 on Sunday nights at 9. This series is about nine men that lie, cheat, and treat their women like garbage, they are tools. Their girlfriends enrolled them in the academy because they are at the last straw.
This tool academy was created to help the most arrogant, dishonest, thoughtless and unfaithful boyfriends in order to transform them into potential husbands. With the help of the host, Jordan Murphy and couple’s therapist Trina Dolenz, these tools will undergo numerous challenges and hours of therapy in order to win back their untrusting girlfriends.
Because most of the men were under the impression that they don’t need any help, they are told that they are there for a contest called “Mr. Awesome”- The search for Americas ultimate Alpha Male. It didn’t take long for them to realize the true reason they were there, and for the next 30 days they are to be enrolled at the academy. In this academy they are to learn lessons in proper behavior focusing on things such as Trust, Romance, Family Values and Communication. If they are able to learn and complete these lessons, they will stay enrolled at the academy. However if they don’t complete the tasks correctly, they will be expelled from the academy, and their girlfriend will have the option to stay with them or go home alone.
In the end one tool will remain, and will win not only his girlfriend back, but a $100,000 cash prize, as well as the actual title of Mr. Awesome.
Now on to the tools…
First we have Demitri, he is a night club owner from Gilbert, AZ. He’s an obnoxious flirt and considers it part of his job to talk to as many ladies as possible. Demitri is dating Jill, she is an aspiring lawyer who moved across the country to live with her boyfriend, but she isn’t enjoying the results.
Next, we have Clarence (A.K.A. Celebrity) a wild party animal with little regard for the many women in his life. Celebrity rules the clubs but often forgets about his girlfriend of 10 years Cameron. He has one true love in his life, himself. As I mentioned, celebrity is dating Cameron, she's tired of party monster Celebrity and wants Clarence, the man she fell in love with, back in her life. Her anger and frustration with Celebrity are pushing her to the breaking point.
Our next tool is Shawn from Boulder, CO. Shawn is the very definition of tool. Self centered and self absorbed, this guy lives for the attention of as many women as possible. He first comes to the show with his “current” girlfriend Jamie, however, we soon learn of his girlfriend of 5 years Aida. Needless to say Jamie leaves the show and Aida takes her place by Shawn’s side.
Josh is our next tool, the tiniest tool but that doesn't stop him from thinking he's the Man. A wanna be pro bowler and south Jersey club goer, Josh puts his own spin on the tool image. He lives with his girlfriend of three years Ashley in her parents' house. Josh wants a stable future but doesn't want to do the work to get there. Ashley is tired of Josh's parting, bowling, and disregard for their relationship. She's enrolled Josh into the Tool Academy as a last ditch attempt to make their relationship work.
Next we have Ryan (A.K.A. Matsuflex) a kind and caring boyfriend, but as Matsuflex he becomes the ultimate tool on a rampage. This tatted up tool fills the room with energy everywhere he goes. He feeds off the attention of women and is proud of his self-centered approach to life. Ryan’s girlfriend is Jenna, she is worried about a future with Ryan because his Matsuflex image gets in the way of real communication. She is over his constant flirting and need to be the center of attention all the time. Jenna brought Ryan to the Tool Academy because she can't live in a Matsuflex world any longer.
Now we have Tommy, the nice guy tool who can't seem to get his life started. He's madly in love with his girlfriend Krista but has no idea what he wants to be when he grows up. Even though they've only been dating for six months, Tommy lives with Krista and her two kids. He is taking advantage of her child support to pay the bills.
MEGA is the player alter ego of Josh J. MEGA is the life of the party and the lover of all ladies. He is known for bringing home a different girl home every night of the week, and maybe two on Sundays. This tool thinks he's so in demand with the ladies that he can be open about seeing girls on the side while having a regular girlfriend. He talks a big game but has a hard time living up to the hype. Margo is his #1 lady, but she's tired of sharing him with others. After being best friends for eight years, MEGA and Margo decided to take their relationship one step further and become romantic. She believes that as MEGA, he's a terrible boyfriend, but as Josh he might be the one for her.
Muscle bound power tool Rob is usually stone faced and ready for a brawl. He's proud of his many judo championships and his gym forged body. Rob does have a softer side, though he holds back his emotions on most occasions. Karine is Rob the power tool's girlfriend and feels like he doesn't trust her. They are in a long distance relationship and she visits Rob every chance she gets. Karine brought Rob to the Tool Academy because she's sick of him not trusting her around other men.
This tool treats his girlfriend Ashley L more like a buddy than girlfriend. His constant flirting with other women makes him feel like a big man and his constant threats to leave his girlfriend make him feel even more powerful. Joey loves to hit the gym and sees this as needed time away from this girlfriend. Ashley moved across the country to be with her tool boyfriend Joey. She's had it with his flirtatious ways and his constant threats to leave for her for other women. The non-stop threats from Joey and the lack of affection are taking their toll on Ashley. She's suffering with no self worth and can't figure out what she can do to get Joey to love her.
Well, that’s it for this week, there’s new episode of the Tool Academy on tonight, hope you’ve been intrigued to watch.
