The celebrity couples who will be seeking counseling from experts Jim Carroll and Elizabeth Carroll are Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce, Aubrey O'Day and Travis Garland, Tami Roman and Reggie Youngblood, and Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd.
Wilkinson and Baskett star on Kendra on Top; The Situation, a former Jersey Shore star, is also from The Sorrentinos; O'Day starred on All About Aubrey, Making the Band and The Celebrity Apprentice; Roman is from Basketball Wives; and Schroeder and Lloyd hail from Big Brother.
These pairs will attempt to work through their deep-rooted issues. The Carrolls will be joined by co-directors Ilsa Norman and David Bishop, who intend to push the reality stars to their limits both physically and emotionally in order to save their relationships.
In the new season, new exercises will be introduced such as a surprise "graveside burial," which will force the couples to face their own mortality as a means of dealing with past transgressions. They will also undergo a lie detector test and a drill led by Judge Lynn Toler of Divorce Court.
In Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars' premiere episode, the couples will arrive and discuss their main problems.
The Situation faces potential jail time and Pesce worries about his sobriety and whether he's trustworthy. O'Day and Garland have dealt with cheating accusations, and Roman and Youngblood try to make things work despite their 17-year age gap and being at very different places in their lives. Youngblood wants to start a family but Roman has already raised children having been married and divorced before.
Schroeder and Lloyd need to work on their communication although they appear perfect to outsiders. Wilkinson is still dealing with the tabloid scandal surrounding Baskett's alleged infidelity. She wants to discover the truth so she can move forward.
Marriage Boot Camp will also begin with shot gun weddings, putting the couples' commitment to the test. Jim is ordained to legally marry unwed boot campers. What the participants don't know is that the wedding guests are fans, friends and family members who protest their relationships.
Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars is produced by Thinkfactory Media and executive produced by Adam Freeman, Adam Reed, Erin Kelly, Antonia Mattia, Leslie Greif, Lauren P. Gellert, and Suzanne Murch.
