Marriage Boot Camp II: Episode Nine

Lie detector don't lie, but one of these two do.

Lie detector don’t lie, but one of these two do.


It was only a matter of time before Marriage Boot Camp: Bridezillas went full-on Maury show. With this week’s episode’s reliance on lie detectors, we have officially reached that point (sans paternity-DNA testing, of course; some things are sacred).

But before we get to that, Blanca stares down the dual issues: How to make toast and how to accept that she may not be 100 percent perfect, as she thought she was before this here show told her that — gasp!!! — she’s not. For his part, Shaun says he’s had one of the “biggest turnaround” in the house as he and Sofia aren’t at one another’s throats 24/7.

The detectors are presented as the honestkey to moving on as healthy-ish couples; it affords them to ask any “burning questions” they damn want to ask their spouse. This shit’s hype, yo.

That horrible lady says she don’t feel like she has anything to worry about. Blah blah blah.

Ok, Julian and Blanca up first, yo.

Julian wants to know if she regrets the marriage, if she still likes banging him, if she’s ever cheated. (No, yes, no). They need some further probing — no pun intended — on the definition of faithful, though.

Blanca wants to know if he stays in the bathroom for hours to avoid her, if he’s ever cheated (yes, no). He copped to think about other women when pressed by the boot-camp sergeants.

She don’t like that whole taking 2-hour shits instead of talking to her though. Word.

Shaun and Sofia up next, neither of whom are comfortable since, you know, sometimes you don’t want to know the truth.

Shaun asks: Does she want him to give up bodybuilding (really, bro?), if she wanted to marry him (no, yes). Cops to being willing to leave if he don’t change though.

Sofia: Is the gym more important than me? Still love me? (no, yes). Has he been in touch with the ex (no)? Further probing: like, email and whatnot? (Still no.) She’s crying.

Jeff and Tasha up.

Jeff: Do you truly love me? (Yes.) Are you happily married, and will he stay? (No, no)

Tasha: Ever cheat? (No.) How about consider infidelity? And the yes gets Tasha storming out tha room. And the storming out tha room brings about the admission that the answer was based on watching porn.

Mai-Lee and Tomas.

Tomas: Ever cheat or think of cheating (no, yes)? That brings nasty words that Tomas keeps inside.

Mai-Lee: Ever physically cheat? (no). Physically attracted to Sofia? (yes) Is Sofia hotter than me? (no) Would you be mad if I got a boob job? (yes)

When they leave the room, lie detector guy tells the boot camp sergeants that Tomas lied about the Mai-Lee > Sofia thing was a lie. To which BCS Elizabeth notes “that’s going to blow up.” Oh, I think that’s an understatement, yo.

Horrible lady and her victim Mark are up. Don’t care. Once HL says her delays in answers are not calculation but wisdom, it becomes apparent that she has not learned a goddamn thing and continues to be the High Priestess of Self Importance.

And now, they turn on the broiler and see whether the froggies will jump out of the boiling water. WILL THEY MAKE UP OR BREAK UP?!

Shit’s on.

LIE RATTING-OUT TIME!

Jeff lied about not cheating. Jeff has to explain that he watches some porn.

Horrible person’s husband lied about deleting texts (from his mom). Horrible person thinks about cheating on her victim (that whole pause jawn).

Shaun and Sofia both lied! She DOES want him to stop lifting (she explains that she wants to spend more time with him). Shaun HAS had contact with the cray ex.

Mai-Lee’s clean. Tomas is not (as we already know). Here we go, here we go, here we go. Shaun’s all steam when the whole Mai-Lee vs. Sofia thing comes up; Sofia’s all wide-eyed. Tomas is all, like, I’d take one Mai-Lee over 10 Sofias. Aw.

Julian’s clean. Blanca’s cheated on Julian! Oh my oh my oh my. Sex outside the marriage, lie-detector machine spiked. Now, she say she don’t lie or cheat. Twill be interesting to see how this play out, yo.

“This bitch made me look for a fool for the last time,” he’s saying. She’s pulling a pre-marriage cheat out on Julian too. Leave me alone, he’s screaming. You ain’t worth it. Get the fuck outta here. Then, he reverts to this: If you’re not lying, the show is and we’re leaving today. Julian, she says, is an asshole. OH AN SHE ALL SCREAMY.

All the couples in damage-control mode now, but they fixate on Julian and Blanca, who then drill deeper to a throwaway comment that the “cheating” wasn’t physical. MCB Sgt. Jim doesn’t like the sanctity of MCB being challenged by Julian, politely. They opt to stay.

From there, MCB takes people’s rings back (Tasha, in a moment of honesty, gets all OMG don’t take my ring. It’s miiiiine). They have to give them to that hot sergeantess, too. That won’t help with the jealous folks (ladies) tho.

Then, they set them out onto the town for “Hall Pass” night. Upon their return, the ladies’ll stay in the same room as will the fellas.

The fellas start with shots (#doshot). Julian slugging em back yo. At a place called the “Man Cave,” which is one rung about “Man Hole.” Oh, Shaun starts drinking and dancing topless at the Man Cave. Because of course he does.

The ladies #doshot as well.

Tasha lettin’ loose though. And she ain’t worried because Jeff’s wearing a long-sleeved turtle neck. (Point, Tasha).

Julian is mackin’. Shots from cleavages!

Screen Shot 2014-05-05 at 3.17.14 PM

The ladies get yelled at because they’re being loud to the point of deserve getting yelled at for carrying on. But whatevs. Pot, kettle.

Anyway, in an entirely unexpected outcome, the booze gets the chicks angry (particularly paranoid Mai-Lee who thinks the worse even though Tomas is on his best behavior; the others take the eminently mature approach of TPing the guys’ room) and the booze gets the fellas (a few of them) randy and angry, too.

Imagine that.

Shit gets thrown, of course, when they’re all back together. Ah, dag, the DVR cut off a few minutes early. Oh well.


Marriage Boot Camp II: Season Finale

That horrible lady has a knife.

That horrible lady has a knife.


Well now it all makes sense. Two years of watching this — I don’t know — nearly-depraved Marriage Boot Camp show. Guess it was obligatory since I watched all them episodes of Bridezillas.

But tonight, no, tonight brought clarity.

It’s been building, all along, to an epilogue for the Tuesday Night Fights series on Deadspin. Gary from lower-Northeast Philly losing to his wife’s car was not a -30- at all.

This few minutes from the season finale is.

Ten people on the show; the big guy is Shaun from Philly. Julian, table-flipper, is from Cali I think.

There’s more, like Sofia — already from Philly — getting her leg busted up. Due to Shaun. But I just can’t. Nothing really to say. Enough.

Hope things work out for Tomas and Mai-Lee (one and two). Whatever with the rest.

World Star.

They call this Marriage Boot Camp episode “The Aftermath.” It was filmed six months after the show ended.

Fair enough.

Thoughts:

1. I mean, you knew there was going to be a brawl in the last episode.

2. Not sure I’m going to be able to watch this whole show, but Rob and Remy from Phillyish are supposed to be on, so there’s that.

3. This:

4. I totally missed a whole riff on the “what’s in the box” from Se7en, and how it related to last week’s “ring ceremony” or whatever they called it.

5. The horrible person’s talking now, so I’m going to get that Vine for 3 to embed here.

6. Mark re-enlisted with her.

7. Then, she stepped to someone and went too far, is how I interpreted the explanation.

8. Aw, Tasha and Jeff broke up. Divorce’s final in a few weeks or is it?

9. Sofia’s foot healed. She gets daily “love messages,” and ones of appreciation from Shaun, who did gay porn.

10. Audience questions will be asked by Rob and Remy. But not yet.

11. I’m'a fast forward through all this gay-porn stuff.

12. Blanca edges right on up to the is-Shaun-gay whispers line, doesn’t cross.

13. Blanca gets grilled on cheating. Depends on what your definition of is is. She doesn’t have time to cheat. She squirms in her seat. Trying to poker-table read her. And she just don’t want to hear it no more. When accused of waiting to say shit in front of the cameras, Julian says “it’s never too late sweetheart” and rolls up his sleeves. The audience was his. Hadouken. And then, humility and forgiveness.

14. Julian took the shot out the girl’s cleavage and stepped back, Blanca. Truth.

15. Showing the brawl again. The conversation winds its way to the point where Sofia says “you people” to that lady and the dude who re-enlisted. Quick deflection toward class and lack thereof. But c’mon girl.

(L-R) Don’t open your eyes don’t open your eyes. Ooooooh hooooo hooooo hoooo you all heard that right? Wait, what? Dear Lord what’s wrong with you child?

Aw, c’mon.

(L-R) You two people, not you people and your entire race. Back you and your girl off, bro.

19. Apparently Remy pissed all them girls off. They launch. Mai-Lee’s pretty amped. But that horrible lady gets loud. Imagine that. Rob brokers a peace. A tenuous peace at best. For as much as that horrible lady wields religion as a deflector shield (and insulator), peace will never be permitted an extended stay.

20. Question from audience (or email; not really sure): Diane from Jersey is all, like, Mai-Lee you bagged on every drill; why’d you even show up? She just ain’t about drills.

21. Regina from Atlanta wanted to know if Tomas really shot for horrible lady’s face in paintball. Damn right he did. Damn right he felt bad about it.

22. Jeff never liked the cameras. Ain’t for him. Jeff looks as if he’s a free as a bird. …

… They love each other. They know it’s time to walk away. They’re holding hands.

23. I may watch Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars sparingly, but only out of habit, and not for posting about. Maybe some Vines of Tanisha. She’s the best. But that’s it. Get. The fuck. Up. I’ll get something louder. Pop off.
