Tool Academy

- Season 1

(2009)

Nine of the world's worst boyfriends (lying, cheating ego-maniacs) think they're competing for the title of "Mr. Awesome" - the search for America's biggest Alpha Male.

A hidden camera "fidelity challenge" and the revelation of one Tool's secret "second girlfriend" conspire to shake Tool Academy to its very core - prompting Tool Academy's first walk out.

Only seven Tools remain - but just six will pass this week's "Humility Challenge." But an epic meltdown between rival Tools threatens to send one of them packing even before elimination.

The six remaining Tools struggle to prove they can be stable "husband material" in a "Maturity Challenge." But, in a "Tool Academy" first, therapist Trina begins to suspect the girlfriend as being to blame for one couple's problems.

Honesty is the best policy at Tool Academy. Our five remaining Tools strap on lie detectors and answer their girlfriends' most burning questions... leading to an explosive therapy session when one boyfriend can't take the heat. Will the truth set one Tool free? Or just get him eliminated?

Only four of the original nine Tools remain, as the boyfriends square off to prove who is the most romantic and deserves to enter Tool Academy's final three. Amid rising tensions, the girlfriends move into a Tool House divided.

Parents visit Tool Academy as our three remaining Tools are tested on their "Family Values" with surrogate babies (baby piglets, that is). But one Tool saves his squealing for elimination as he attempts to break back into the academy in protest after his expulsion.

Graduation day at the Tool Academy has arrived and there are just two Tools left in the competition. After a revealing final therapy session and a grueling final exam, only one Tool will walk away a changed man and $100,000.00 richer.

The tools and their girlfriends reunite on stage to face each other and relive fond memories of the good old days back at Tool Academy. Tempers flare, egos clash and old scores are settled along with shocking updates from cast members. Who's broken up? Who's stayed together?
