Tool Academy 2 - Meet The Tools
In this post is your first look at the men who’ll subject themselves to tool-rehab come the Sunday, Aug. 30 premiere of the second season of Tool Academy. But first, here’s some info on what to expect this time around (via the press release):
Man panties? Testosterone filled fights? Surprise appearances by secret girlfriends? That can only mean one thing…the “tools” are back! A new set of tools are getting schooled as VH1’s Tool Academy comes back for a second season. That’s right, an all new class of nine unsuspecting men will be put to the test as they undergo a 10-week relationship boot camp, when the new season premieres Sunday, August 30 at 9/8c.
The first season of Tool Academy chronicled the journey of nine men who at first believed they were sent to a competition in search of “Mr. Awesome.” But almost immediately, the guys were surprised by their girlfriends and told they were really enrolled at the Tool Academy for some relationship 911. Each week the tools were schooled on proper boyfriend behavior on topics such as communication, honesty, and fidelity, with the one who showed the least progress for the week being dismissed. Once that tool was given the boot, he pled his case to his girlfriend, who decided to keep him…or not.
Returning to hosting duties is Jordan Murphy. As host, Jordan will help these bad boys turn into better men by overseeing all the challenges. Also aiding the tools is returning relationship counselor, Trina Dolenz. She will be there for the tools and their girlfriends as they undergo weekly therapy sessions to rebuild their relationships. In the end, it is Trina who has the last say on which tool stays and which one leaves the academy.
Below are up-close shots of all 12 tools, as well as some group action. Get ready to salivate…
Andre
Charm
Dan
Frank
John L.
Jon S.
Josh
Justin
Mike
Stew
Terry
Tyler
Check out the new season’s promo…
…and here’s some more of the guys being predictably toolish (and Trina and Jordan, who aren’t toolish at all):
Remember, Tool Academy 2 premieres Monday, August 31 at 10:30/9:30c.

What’s up with the host, Jordan Murphy? When Josh wouldn’t leave, Jordan acted like a big tool, cursing, screaming, swinging his arms around. Why isn’t he a contestant? Clean up your mouth Jordan, you sound just like the punks on the show

has anyone noticed that andre’s girlfriend was on paris hiltons new bff but used a different name
September 24th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
This show is ridiculous in the best ways, this coming Sunday these guys look like they flip out on the producers when the girlfriends are set up with male models, kind of tough competition apparently. The women are just as hopeless as these guys.

charms a d-bag, he thinks hes soo hot but hes an ugly $!%!)+#%+`~)*_%) head
September 28th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
I love this show. Men always think of themselves, they never think of their girlfriends and how they would feel. But when S**** hits the fan ooh watch out they don’t know what to do. They really love their girlfriends but instead of being real men and admitting it they want to be boys and think that they can get better. Ladies it’s you that can do better. I love the latest when the girls went out on a date. Wow what reactions! There are enough tools in the world we need more men. I dated a tool and now he is history.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Gosh i love this show and I hope Andre + Leah win.
September 29th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
This guys are all a bunch of douch bags and act like fools and I think if these girls had any self respect they would dump these loosers
September 30th, 2009 at 11:29 am

October 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
