Tool Academy Premieres Soon

This one is an interesting concept: have you ever known a guy that acts like a well, complete tool? Then this show should be fun for you to watch. VH1 is planning on surprising these unlucky guys labeled as “tools” with a relationship boot camp. Here’s the summary that VH1 has released about the show that is scheduled to begin airing January 11:

We have all encountered them before: those strutting, preening, over-confident alpha-males who lie, cheat, and treat their girlfriends like door mats. They are “tools,” and they desperately need a wake up call. VH1 and 495 Productions are taking 9 of these unsuspecting bad boys and sending them to relationship boot camp in a new series titled Tool Academy. The eight episode series, hosted by Jordan Murphy, is slated to premiere Sunday, January 11 at 10/9c.

Each of the guys was nominated by their girlfriend and has no idea at the start of the series that they are really taking part in a relationship bootcamp. They think they’ll be competing for the title of “Mr. Awesome.” LOL!!

The things they’ll have to learn during their stay in Tool Academy are honesty, fidelity, maturity, and communication with the show’s relationship counselor Trina Dolenz. If they can’t cut it, they will get the label of “Hopeless Tool” and will be ejected from the academy.

Oh, how I hope for future seasons of this one…I think we all have multiple guys we can nominate! Make sure to check this one out. It could be pretty funny!

    Yeah definitely. These poses are unreal. They have a sense of fake cool. For this I have to watch, I know I will come out feeling better about myself. Plus the trailer was freaking bananas. Not a dull moment.

    Man yaw girls is falling in love with guys from a show called Tool Academy, come on.

    Seriously as toolish as they are they must being doing something right. I’m going to be checking them out close to see how they attract girls. I need to get my love life in order. This is the first step.

  13. Girllookingforlove

    The truth is Rick, watching the show probably is the first step in helping your girl game. But I wouldn’t really rely too much on how the guys act. That’s going to get you the wrong girls. I would rely on how the guys are most likely (hopefully) will change throughout the show.

  14. pat

    The one in the white REALLY needs a hair cut! Even his hair screams, “I AM A TOOL!” I bet he is super cocky! We will see if I am right!

  15. penelope

    The blonde stallion in white is just so hot. That everyone really likes him. Can hardly wait for the show to air.

  16. Ramalamb

    No actually the guy in the white has hair like sonic the hedgehog in the picture. Or like a massive swirley. He is living up to true Tool Academy tooldition. What a guy! The show hasn’t even started yet and he is getting all the hype.

  17. Toolalicious

    HECK YES!!!!! Can you believe the guy that said “F you, tool academy”?!?!?!? AHHHHH!!! This is going to be my new fave!

  18. cameltoe

    I did see that! ahahhahahaha! you’re right! This show looks freaking great!

  19. penelope

    Sounds like a few of you could be real tools yourself for the things your saying about the stallion in white. Take a good look at your selves in the mirror, I bet your just like him.

  20. Ramalamb

    Well if Sonic Hedge Hair gets mad women, then I don’t mind being a little like him. I mean freaking girls are really responding to this guy.

  21. penelope

    Women always like good looking men, especially those that are in good physical shape that workout to keep fit and stay in shape. The stallion apparently works out.

  22. Ramalamb

    Yeah dude last night on the show that guy looks freaking the most cut and he had overall physical size too!

  23. penelope

    The stallion in white was fantastic and he loves his ladies. He is a real stud and the ladies love him. I watched the show also. I am a fan and will not miss any of the shows when they air.

  24. princess

    PENELOPE – I know who you are. it’s okay. I love you.

  25. princess

    Sean is hot! His girlfriend jamie has a pig nose. He could do much better! I can’t wait to see more white stallion!

  26. penelope

    I agree with you that sean is hot. I am not quite sure who you are, but I have an idea. Call me Princess.

  27. princess

  28. Toolalicious

    Legend of the Tool! These tools will become legend.

    I hope someone does a spoof. I am Tool!

  31. Alan J. Elder

    What do you expect from this kids who are testosterone driven. They think of only one thing and sex is it……Any man you is being aggressively pursued is going to react and hit. The therapist chick thinks she is going to change those men….She is the real tool. Stupid dumbass.
