Tool Academy host Jordan Murphy is really into the show. So into it, in fact, that he’s offered his insight on a weekly basis. For every episode, Jordan will offer his take on what went down, as well as some juicy behind-the-scenes tidbits. The second episode of Tool Academy 2 through his eyes is below…
I was not present for the therapy session when the domino confession sequence occurred. So when the couples walked onto the field to learn about the cheerleading challenge, all I knew was that I could have cut the tension with a knife. The couples hadn’t seen or spoken with each other since therapy and now they had to create a cheer together. The prep and rehearsal went alll day.
Elimination is always interesting and stressful. They are shot late
at night and into the morning and everyone is wiped out. None of
these guys want to leave and face the music outside with their girlfriend, especially early on. Last season the elimination became consistent: “You’re just a tool,” exit room, hang up coat, face girlfriend, get in car and drive away. As you can see, this season already swerves from consistency into highly unpredictable. I don’t know if these guys are going to run and hide. Get into a fight. Break up with their girlfriend or get dumped by the girlfriend. More than ever, Tool Academy is full of surprises.

Tool Academy is hilarious and I think the guys on it are real this time. Good job VH1. This is entertainment!
Tool Academy is hilarious and I think the guys on it are real this time. Good job VH1. This is entertainment! Also could you tell me why my lisaww2007 ID is blocked from putting messages on here? All my other email addresses will post.
the problem w/ this show is that we’re supposed to ^_!)`)@@#@%!_+* ume that all these girls are faultless angels. No ^_!)`)@@#@%!_+* essment is made to understand what they might be doing wrong. these guys are a dime a dozen. Every guy has 3-5 friends that could be on this show.
Wow, Jordan! What insight into the show. Talk about mailing it in. This blog is almost as disappointing as not being able to see Giant Tool try and produce a cheer. (What’s up with editing out his cheer anyway?) If this is the kind of crap you’re going to give us, just let Rich write the blog, eh?
I do not like this tool academy 2 u can tell they are just there for the money.And the guys are all cheaters And tool academy won’t help them.
In this 2nd episode where the hidden camera was placed on the guys, where were the girlfriends??? Did they have there own waiting room with 6 half naked guys in it??? all i got from this show was that only guys cheat and mess up the relationships! put a camera on the women and see what happens, they werent asked if they did anything wrong, just the guys.
Come on VH1, enough with Snooze Academy. This show SUCKS!!!!!
I WANT my boyfriend on this show. Seriously. He’s a bigger tool than all these guys. Come to eastern kentucky to recruit & you’ll find every kind of &^~!#&&~)`$~@_~ hole possible=)
Heather you should sign him up at http://www.toolacademycasting.com !!!
@ jon. u are a prime example of what the couselor is talking about. she frequently says when one party tries to point something out, the other person tries to deflect from their wrongdoing. the show is about the guys…not the girls…hence why an &%$`&%_`@)_$`(~ essment is not done on them.
btw i think all the gfs on this show are bad examples to women everywhere. in the words of picasso…”there are two types of women in this worlds, godesses and doormats.” Clearly all of these girls are doormats. They’ve been insulted, cheated on, constantly degraded by these men…yet they are still here. People will do anything for $100,000
hello jordan,
I watch ur program evrytime i get a chance. In one episode you had a tool academy first. When Tracey was dumped by her old tool. May I say she didnt deserve that to happen to her. I know sir I am not perfect I hav been alone for several yrs cuz i hav not been able to see a woman be herself and how she loves and how she shows that love to her man. Trust and communication is most important part of a relationship (the foundation). Well to get to why I am postin this comment. I see Tracey might be the woman i am lookin for and to spend my life with. This will be another tool academy first i would like a chance for us to get to know each other if she would like to do that with me. If you could maybe let her know i would love is real and I would be honord to give her love and happiness she deserves. So i hope you please let her know my email which is : jrom45@gmail.com but watever happens just let Tracey know that there is man out here waiting to make her happy and to love her and just her. I know i wud pass any test she gives me to show her i love her and only her. thank you sir for your time.
Jesse
hahahaha jesse that’s the stupidest comment i have ever read
Tool acd’ is a mindless stupid complete WASTE OF VIEWING TIME- anybody wasting their time on this so-called showis a TOOL! Any actor who foolishly works on this project must have an IQ OF 50. tHE Script, the writing, the fake Drama- is enough to make me throw-up.
I work on the show and can guarantee you these are NOT actors. These are actual, real people… this is the American idol of tools
This makes me feel like sending you an email too!
