Tool Academy

A lot like that, yeah.

Or a Bad News Bear.

Ok. So Rob had the best fainting spell ever captured on film.

Also,

"Even though Matsuflex ran me into a door, and a tree, I still trust him."

Classic.

I think electing to leave an elimination show makes Rob the biggest non-tool of them all.

But I'm not too sure about what happens when any of these guys are released back into the wild, and I don't think I ever want to know. OK. Actually, I really really do.

Once again, this show proves that lie detector tests are ENTIRELY ACCURATE AND THAT'S THAT.

The matching Tool Academy tattoos blew my mind, but Tiny Tool's girlfriend's pride in his tattoo made my head explode.

[andrew_in_bk]

The whole fact that Tommy went on that Sparks-fueled tattoo binge and came away un-marked blew my mind.

[Jixby Phillips]

I call this show DING DONG ACADEMY because all these guys are such ding dongs!!

[franks.]

Those tattoos would break a mother's heart.

Ding Dong Academy, indeed!  This show is one of the most scripted, heavily manipulated, multiple takes, pieces of garbage I've ever seen. I'm so hooked. I can hardly wait for "Matsuflex: The E True Hollywood Story".

I felt like the totally-obvious voice dubbing was even more prevalent and distracting in this week's episode. Didn't it seem like over half of Rob's "anxiety attack" was dubbed? I wonder if this episode was bad enough to make Tom give up....

[reallynotclever]

    You're right Sara, totally over dubbed.  All those ridiculous dramatic dolly & crane shots.  Is Brian DePalma directing this show? Heavily cut & pieced together.  These guys & their girlfriends are all complete tools.  Although, sometimes it seems like they're asked leading questions & encouraged to be super tools.  That whole "crunked out" tattoo adventure seemed A little set up. They're obviously sweetening every minute of this show. Even the hosts are toolish.  Why do I like this?

As soon as they went out to get tattooed I immediately wondered what the freelance VH1 graphic designer thought of all this after he had slaved over that logo for a week with equal parts duty and resentment.

Fixed for truthies. C'mon, that's a lunchbreak job if I've ever seen one.

My favorite part is the mini-Matsu gets it proudly on his mini-chest, and the other two brahs opt for the less obvious ribcage tatt both. So much for the Ding Dong Brotherhood, yeah?

[reallynotclever]

What's with that trust challenge? The part where the smoke bomb goes off in that box, that seemed A little less than safe.
