Vh1, Tool Academy 2

One show I was not expecting to see return for another reason is Tool Academy but it will be interesting to see where Vh1 goes with this season. Tool Academy is about shaping up a group of men who are clueless to their bad behavior. The group of men are sent to relationship boot camp as their girlfriends join them. Each week, one contestant is eliminated and his girlfriend must choose whether to stay with him. The new season is set to return August 30 in a special 90-minute premiere.

Here is the press release:
 

Man panties? Testosterone filled fights? Surprise appearances by secret girlfriends? That can only mean one thing…the “tools” are back! A new set of tools are getting schooled as VH1’s Tool Academy comes back for a second season. That’s right, an all new class of nine unsuspecting men will be put to the test as they undergo a 10-week relationship boot camp, when the new season premieres Sunday, August 30 at 9/8c.

The first season of Tool Academy chronicled the journey of nine men who at first believed they were sent to a competition in search of “Mr. Awesome.” But almost immediately, the guys were surprised by their girlfriends and told they were really enrolled at the Tool Academy for some relationship 911. Each week the tools were schooled on proper boyfriend behavior on topics such as communication, honesty, and fidelity, with the one who showed the least progress for the week being dismissed. Once that tool was given the boot, he pled his case to his girlfriend, who decided to keep him…or not.

Returning to hosting duties is Jordan Murphy. As host, Jordan will help these bad boys turn into better men by overseeing all the challenges. Also aiding the tools is returning relationship counselor, Trina Dolenz. She will be there for the tools and their girlfriends as they undergo weekly therapy sessions to rebuild their relationships. In the end, it is Trina who has the last say on which tool stays and which one leaves the academy.
 

12 men will compete for their girlfriends and most of all for themselves to become better men, hopefully. Now it’s time for you to meet the guys:
