"No, you're a tool."

VH1's Tool Academy aired yesterday. Here's the premise:

9 frustrated girlfriends have enrolled their duchebag boyfriends into the "Tool Academy" to see if there is any possibility that they might change. The girlfriends are unappreciated, used, cheated on and degraded. For many of them, this is the last straw, and if their men can't get it together, they're going to get the boot. So, through a series of challenges (suprise suprise), the girls will try to change their tools into men.

I'd been looking forward to this show since I first saw the commercial for it. The first episode was great! Great premise, great drama, great characters... but I'm hoping it will sustain. Now that we've seen how dumb and inconsiderate some of these guys can be, are now in for 9 weeks of useless I Love Money challenges or will we see some progress with these guy? The first episode really tugged at my heart strings (at least more than any other VH1 reality show) and I'm hoping to see more of that. I hope it doesn't reach the shallow depths of Rock of Venereal Disease. Only time will tell, and from what I've seen so far, Tool Academy looks to be promising.

Watch it on VH1, Sundays at 10
