- May 30, 2014
In season 3 of Marriage Boot Camp, the first episode titled "The Ambush" kicks off with a group of five celebrity couples who have agreed to undertake a grueling marriage therapy boot camp program. They are all dealing with various issues in their relationships and hope to improve their communication skills, trust, and intimacy.
As the couples arrive at the boot camp, they are blindfolded and taken to a secret location where they are instantly ambushed by host Jim Carroll who drills them with a series of difficult questions about each other. The couples quickly realize that there is no escaping the intense therapy that is about to take place.
The first exercise involves each partner describing some of the most challenging issues that they are facing in their marriage. Tami and Reggie, a couple who have been married for ten years, express their concerns about Reggie's inability to communicate his emotions, while Kendra and Hank share their struggles with jealousy and infidelity.
The couples are then asked to partake in an exercise where they must face their deepest fears. This exercise involves them being put into a pool with different dangerous creatures such as snakes and scorpions. The couples have to overcome their fear to get to the other end of the pool.
As they embark on this terrifying challenge, emotions run high as some of the couples are forced to confront their deepest fears. Kendra, for example, is petrified of snakes, and her fear is aggravated when she is put into a pool with multiple snakes.
Another exercise involves each couple being given an opportunity to confront each other about issues that have been left unresolved. The challenge proves to be too difficult for some couples, who end up turning on each other and fighting instead of finding solutions to their problems.
As the episode progresses, the couples are faced with further challenges, which consist of them revealing their innermost secrets and confronting each other about their deepest fears, and admitting to past mistakes that have caused a rift in their marriage.
"The Ambush," is a heart-wrenching and emotionally charged episode that demonstrates the real struggles that couples have to overcome in today's world.
