Synopsis

[edit]

The first two seasons of Marriage Boot Camp chronicle the lives of five couples from previous seasons of Bridezillas as they move into one house together for approximately ten days in order to save their marital bonds. Following the second season, the show chronicles the lives of five couples from various reality shows.[2] The couples do a number of exercises to see if their marriages are worth saving.[2] In the end, the couples decide if they should divorce or make up.[2] Leading the program for the first seven seasons is marriage counselor team Jim Carroll and his wife Elizabeth.[10]
