Tool Academy was a short-lived competitive reality show featuring "unsuspecting bad boys" (and women) who have been sent to "relationship boot camp" in order to change their behavior.
Gameplay[]
the contestants, all of whom have been nominated by their respective partners, initially think they are taking part in a competition for a title. However, shortly after arriving they find out the truth: they are actually being entered into a "charm school" which focuses on teaching them on how to behave as partners. Each week, one contestant is eliminated and his/her partner must choose whether or not to stay with him or her. The last contestant wins a $100,000 prize.
Catchphrase[]
"You're just a tool!"
British Version[]
A British version of the show called Tool Academy UK aired on E4 from 2011 until 2012.
