Original subtitles

If you're not going to give this 100%,

we should leave 'cause I can't do this anymore.

This is so unhealthy for both of us.

- That's the way I feel. - Tanisha: Shut up.

I'll let you speak. You have every right--

- Shut the [ bleep ] up. Shut up. - You get mad.

Back the [ bleep ] up! Shut up!

I will punch you in the face.

Call 911. I'm having a heart attack.

[ siren chirps ]

Narrator: And on this episode, the final conclusion.

Today we are going to tackle truth.

So it's time to be honest.

Elizabeth: Do you really want to get married?

Have you been faithful to Traci?

Jim: Are you still sleeping with your ex?

Oh, the truth [ bleep ] hurts, [ bleep ].

Make a decision on whether to stay with this person or move on.

I'm really just 50-50 right now.

I know I have to do what's right for me.

I love you, but...

Are you guys not gonna be together?

Man: I want to let her go.

I'm just so confused.

Jim: Open your ring boxes.

Narrator: Five famous couples

- face a whole new reality. - Want to hit me?

They must fight to save their failing relationships,

or decide whether to call it quits.

Gretchen: I might love him more than he loves me.

Jenni: I don't want to know what it's like to be without you.

- Kevin: You degrade me. - Traci: You treat me like a child.

Ryan: You make me feel like I'm not a priority.

Tanisha: Stand up and be a man.

Narrator: When reality comes crashing down...

- [ bleep ] this place. - ...Jim and Elizabeth Carroll

are their last chance.

This is "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars."

[ siren chirps ]

Here they come. They're here.

Well, I heard Tanisha scream. What happened?

They had to call an ambulance.

She felt like she was having some chest pains.

Some tightness in her chest.

That stressed her out, too.

I talked to her for a while until the paramedics came.

She hadn't eaten or drank a lot.

She was totally dehydrated.

She started getting some, you know,

chest pains which probably added to her anxiety.

- Glad you were there for her. - Yeah.

- Just talked to her. - That's big.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Tanisha: Clive cooked me breakfast this morning.

I feel really great and it was really nice. It was really nice of him.

Clive: I was really just trying to get some that night.

In the morning?

Yeah, that night because, you know--

you know, you would probably give me that in the nighttime.

'Cause you'd think in your head, like,

"Damn, this guy made me some breakfast.

Well, I'm gonna give him some in the nighttime."

So I was trying to get me some.

Why are you always thinking about having sex?

What is wrong with you?

Jim: Attention, all couples to the Boot Camp room now.

Jenni: Honestly, what else could there possibly [ bleep ] me?

Like, seriously, just bring it on, punch me in my face and get it over with.

Yeah, it's the most draining--

I'm emotionally [ bleep ] right now.

I'm like [ bleep ] emotionally [ bleep ].

Jim: First off, Tanisha, we are so glad to have you back

and we are glad you're okay.

Today, we are going to tackle

one of the most important foundations to every relationship--

truth.

If you leave this house and you have been deceptive,

that could compromise everything

you've been trying to earn while you're here.

So it's time to be honest.

One couple at a time, Jim and I will take you into the next room

and introduce you to our polygraph expert John Grogan.

He will hook you up to a polygraph machine.

Jim: We're gonna have you write down yes and no questions

that you want to ask your spouse

and you want to know the truth,

I literally think Roger just [ bleep ] his pants.

Roger: Bring it on. Not worried about a thing.

But Jenni on the other hand, oh, yeah.

I'm gonna enjoy this. I am definitely gonna enjoy

- seeing you in the hot seat. - Shh.

John is the real deal. If you try to pull one over on him,

he's gonna expose you.

Oh, [ bleep ].

So think long and hard,

because if Elizabeth and I

think that you're not asking tough questions, we will.

Elizabeth: Now that the couples are coming into

the homestretch of the boot camp,

this is their last chance

to lay everything out on the line,

to make sure that the decision that they make,

whether to stay together or not,

is fully informed.

Jim: This is essentially your final test

to see if they're hiding stuff from each other

and how are they going to handle it when the truth is exposed.

Jim: Okay, and one couple at a time,

we are gonna take you guys into the other room.

First couple up is Traci and Kevin.

I have some unanswered questions that I need to ask him.

Let's see if he's gonna speak the truth.

Come on in, guys.

- This is what we're here for. - Bring it on.

Elizabeth: I want to introduce you to John Grogan,

a polygraph expert.

Jim: You try to beat him, you'll get busted.

So tell the truth.

Answer only yes or no during the test.

No head movements. If you move it can affect

your score in a bad way. Arms up.

Elizabeth: A polygraph test measures a person's respiratory rate,

their sweat gland activity, and their blood pressure

to see if what they're answering is honest.

Jim: So we'll be asking you Kevin's questions.

Are you really able to believe in me?

Yes.

Will you really be faithful to me?

Yes.

Do you still resent Kevin for cheating?

Yes.

And now Traci's questions.

Did you ever want to leave Traci?

No.

Have you been faithful to Traci in recent months?

No.

Jim: Traci, do you have any follow-up questions?

Traci?

No.

Infidelity is an issue

that has plagued their relationship for years.

And hopefully by getting the truth out in the open today,

they can leave the past in the past and move forward.

So you cheated in the recent months?

No. I thought that was a trick question.

No, not recent months.

I thought that was meaning, like, have I cheated on you--

[ mumbles ]

No, that's not--

You say yes,

it's like my stomach and everything just dropped.

I look at the lie detector test as a blessing in disguise

because, honestly, I've been waiting to prove to Roger

my honesty and this is a perfect way to do it.

I am the lie detector in this room.

- All right. - That machine is not.

- I am a human lie detector. That's right. - All right.

Roger would like to know would you marry me

in a private, non-publicized ceremony?

Yes.

Will you respect my opinion

to keep certain things in our life private?

Yes.

Are you holding any secrets from Roger?

No.

When you have children,

are you planning on broadcasting their lives on TV?

Yes.

Roger, do you have any follow-up questions?

All right. Let's switch it over to Roger.

Elizabeth: Roger, Jenni wants to know

do you really want to get married?

- Yes. - Do you want Jenni to quit TV?

No.

Are you ever going to 100% trust Jenni?

Yes.

Do you currently trust Jenni?

Jenni: Roger says I still need to earn his trust,

but what if I don't earn his trust back?

Then what? Then what'll happen in our relationship?

You have it in your power to earn my trust back.

It's simple.

Do you have any follow-up questions, Jenni?

No, I think they were [ bleep ] great.

Narrator: Coming up on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars..."

Jim: Are you still sleeping with your ex?

Oh, the truth [ bleep ] hurts, [ bleep ].

No, I don't even want no cameras around.

Tanisha: Ain't this about a bitch?

- Y'all are up. - Okay, let's do this.

The foundation of a successful marriage

is honesty and openness.

All right, come on in.

Today we're gonna put them to the test

and see if they can handle their own truths.

Elizabeth: Slade, Gretchen wants to know

do you really want to start a family with Gretchen?

Yes.

Are you determined to find a job outside of our business together?

Yes.

Are you okay with being a stay-at-home dad?

Yes.

Jim: We'll switch it over.

Slade wants to know do you trust me

to be the leader in our relationship?

Yes.

Are you resentful that Slade is not actively working on his career?

Yes.

If Slade refuses to have children with you,

will you still marry him?

No.

Jim: Okay, guys, we'll get results back to you in a bit.

It was less about whether you were gonna tell the truth

and more about I wonder what I'm going to have to tell the truth about.

- Let's start with Trista. - Okay.

Trista, do you want more kids?

No.

Is Ryan the one you want to spend your life with?

Yes.

Do you wish Ryan had chosen another profession?

No.

Okay, move 'em over.

Ryan, Trista wants to know

can you truly say that you won't hold me accountable

for your ex's betrayal any longer?

Yes.

Have you every wished you had married someone else?

No.

Do you have any secrets that you're hiding from Trista?

Whoa.

Um...

I don't think so. No.

Thank you. We will find out your results in a bit.

We ask that you answer just a simple yes or no

without a nod.

I could only imagine the questions

that Clive has asked for me to answer.

Clive wants to know will you be with me

after I work on myself?

Yes.

Are you still sleeping with your ex?

No.

Did you cheat on me in 2011?

Yes.

Who did I sleep with? You told these people I slept with somebody?

Stop the [ bleep ] cameras.

Stop it. I'll break every [ bleep ] camera.

You know what? [ bleep ] this [ bleep ].

Clive, do you have any follow-up questions?

No.

Clive: Out of all the questions, the most important one

was did she sleep around in 2011,

the year we actually got married.

First of all, that wasn't the question you asked.

You asked did I cheat on you in the year 2011.

You didn't say did I sleep around. You said did I cheat.

It's the same [ bleep ]. It's the same thing.

All right, okay. I guess you're right.

Elizabeth: Clive, Tanisha wants to know

have you ever cheated while you were together?

No.

Are you seeing someone else?

- No. - Whoo.

Tanisha, do you have a follow-up question?

Yes.

Are you talking to someone else right now?

Yes.

Black people call it talking, not seeing.

He really does not give a damn about me.

- I don't want to talk to you. - Huh?

I don't want to talk to you. Do not talk to me.

Why are you really here? Do you even love me?

Clive, you know what? You're full of [ bleep ].

I'm full of [ bleep ]? I don't have nothing to say.

'Cause you proved you don't want to fix [ bleep ].

You mad 'cause you got caught. Go have a seat.

What are you here for?

I was here to come fix the marriage.

What the [ bleep ] you think I'm here for?

- Bull[ bleep ]. - Why the [ bleep ] did I dress you?

Why the [ bleep ] did I get everything ready?

Why the [ bleep ] did I make sure you had a hearing aid?

I feel like Clive is attacking me because--

because he got called out.

Oh, the truth [ bleep ] hurts, [ bleep ].

The truth hurts.

No, I don't want no cameras around.

No. No, I don't want no cameras around me right now.

Ain't this about a bitch?

You see this [ bleep ]? She's making it turn into a whole big story.

"Oh, you don't love me."

I had no idea that he was still talking to somebody.

This is bull[ bleep ], man!

Let's go talk to Tanisha.

All I [ bleep ] do is try to help your ass

with all this bull[ bleep ]

and all I ever do is get [ bleep ] over.

That's it.

I knew whether it was going to be him or me,

somebody was gonna blow and it just happened to be Clive.

My bad.

This is really sad.

Jim: Attention, all couples to the Boot Camp room now.

Now that you've gone through the polygraph exam,

it's time to see the results.

The first couple will be Trista and Ryan.

Will y'all stand up?

You guys got truthful all the way through--

every single question.

And you guys asked some tough questions.

No offence, Trista and Ryan, you guys are boring.

You're too perfect.

- Thank you. - Thank you, guys. Who's next?

Traci and Kevin.

A troubling answer came up when you said, "Yes,

I have been unfaithful in my marriage in the recent past."

I misunderstood the question.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

What was the question again?

Have you been unfaithful

to Traci in recent months? And you said yes.

When he said yes, I wanted to punch him in his face.

Mmm.

That would be something you guys need to talk about.

Jim: Gretchen and Slade, stand up.

Slade, you showed deception

when we asked you would you be okay with being a stay-at-home dad.

Gretchen, you showed signs of deception on one question.

Do you know what that question is?

Maybe the thing about him being a leader?

That is the question that came up with deception detected.

I trust that he wants to be the leader,

but do I trust that he is going to be the leader?

I haven't seen that yet, so until I see it, I don't think I can trust that yet.

Okay, you guys, please sit down.

Jenni and Roger.

Jenni, you showed signs of deception on one question.

Do you know what that question is?

Um, the secrets one.

Yes, I was hiding stuff.

'Cause with work or whatever it is,

even if it has nothing to do with Roger,

I don't feel like it's necessary to bring it to the table.

Roger, how do you feel about that?

I just think that was really not surprising,

'cause that was my biggest issue coming here.

It's something you need to think about tonight.

Okay, y'all can sit down.

Tanisha and Clive, stand up.

So deception was detected when you were asked

are you still sleeping with you ex.

That's a [ bleep ] lie. I haven't [ bleep ] my ex

since the beginning of this [ bleep ] year.

Call him if you want.

So, Clive...

you passed with a perfect score,

but you answered some pretty tough questions.

Jim: And a few other things that were pretty hard

for Tanisha to hear.

Including having a relationship with someone else.

This is our relationship off-camera as well.

Off-camera it's up and down just like a roller-coaster

that you probably do not want to get on

because it just keeps stopping and starting and stopping and starting.

It's just-- it's really crazy.

So that gives y'all extra things to think about.

Now that the lie detector

has forced everything into the open,

we're gonna see how these couples handle themselves

with these new truths in the final exercise-- the hall pass.

Elizabeth: We're giving them some time away from each other

to give this decision some very serious thought.

Elizabeth: Tonight you're getting a hall pass.

Girls, you're going to one place,

guys, you'll be going to another.

Women, you'll be sleeping in Trista's room tonight.

Men, you'll be sleeping in Clive's room tonight.

Take the time to think about what you really want to do

without the influence of your spouse.

Jim: Use tonight to make the decision

that's gonna impact you and your family for the rest of your lives.

Be smart.

And we'll see you guys back here tomorrow.

Narrator: Coming up on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars..."

- Tanisha: Clive, behave yourself. - Who, me?

Do not come back in here sick.

Honey, we're gonna turn it up.

I saw Clive turn up and almost die.

Clive, I'm gonna get you something, dude.

Elizabeth: By giving the couples a hall pass

and separating them for the night,

we're giving them an opportunity to really reflect

on this decision that they're having to make,

and to blow off a little steam,

because tomorrow they're making a very, very difficult choice.

This isn't too much, is it?

I think we should just stay home.

Yes, honey.

Tanisha: Clive, behave yourself.

- Clive: Who, me? - Yes, you.

I always behave myself.

What Clive doesn't know is that tonight is a true test.

Do not come back in here sick.

Go out, have a good time, but be careful.

- Clive, behave yourself. - I'll try.

I still, in the back of my mind, have a major decision to make

and I don't know which way I'm going to go with it.

We're about to turn up this bitch.

Turn up!

After that whole lie detector thing happened,

I'm not worried about Tanisha at all.

I'm tired of this [ bleep ].

And right now, all I want to do is just go to the club and have fun.

Let's go, girls. Whoo, whoo!

Whoop it up. Whoop it up.

Slade and I came into this Marriage Boot Camp

with some pretty hard-hitting, deep issues

that him and I needed to address.

So I definitely need tonight to truly make sure

that this is the man I want to be walking down the aisle with

and that I'm 100% on-board

for happily ever after with Slade.

Clive: I haven't been out in a long time.

Roger: It's cool that we can have a guys' night out

and have a little male bonding.

And I just want to thank each and every one of you.

That's what's up.

I don't really want to be a bachelor,

but since we're gonna party, pop some bottles,

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it well.

All right, bitches, let's do this.

Boot Camp is seriously emotionally and physically draining me.

And to be honest, I really need this night out

with the girls to get, like, recharged.

[ music playing ]

I definitely think at this point it's probably past Trista's bed time.

She probably normally in bed at about 8:00 with the kids.

Cheers!

When I go out to party, I'm always in the center of attention.

Girls coming around trying to dance with me.

I'm not thinking about Tanisha at all right now.

Clive instantaneously went from just normal old Clive

to 18-year-old first time drinking kind of problems.

Kevin: I hope Traci is up in the club,

like, you know, sitting in the corner

reading the Bible

showing her godly side and not that flesh.

Turn it up, Traci! Turn it up, Traci!

Turn it up, Traci!

I'm not even worried about Kevin tonight.

I'm just worrying about myself.

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

What? You hanging with a bad girl.

What do you think was gonna happen?

I'm the godmother of bad girls.

When I was in Jenni's cleavage,

I guess you're supposed to go, "Bbbbb."

I don't know. I don't even know.

I don't know.

I was trying to get my drink on and I did.

I don't remember [ bleep ] that happened after that.

[ glass shatters ]

Okay, we're out.

Ryan: For that brief moment, he had a great time.

I'm not mad at Clive but I have a feeling he's gonna be paying for this.

Why the [ bleep ] did you make me motorboat her?

Tanisha, I'm pissed at you.

Clive: Ho, ho. Tell him to pull-- tell him to pull--

Tell him to pull over! Pull over!

Kevin: This way, this way, this way.

I got you. There you go. My man.

Clive: [ bleep ] Give me a rag. Give me a rag.

Give me a rag. Give me a rag.

I feel really bad for Clive.

I think Tanisha is going to wreck this guy.

- Are the boys here? - No.

Would you get Clive?

I need to take a [ bleep ] shower.

Come on, bro.

Step it up!

One, two, three. We did it.

Good, good, good.

Since we've been in this house,

Tanisha has been using the term "turnt up".

I'm a white boy from Maine. I don't know what "turnt up" is.

But I can honestly say now I've seen turnt up a lot.

Here, buddy. Ready?

I saw Clive turnt up

and I saw him fall down and almost die

because he was so drunk at the club.

I think now I can finally say I know what turnt up is...

other than a vegetable.

Clive, I'm going to get you something, dude.

- Clive, are you okay? - What's going on?

Can you drink water if I get it for you, Clive?

- Is he talking? - No.

He's not talking. Oh, God, I'm tired.

Tanisha: I'm tired, I've danced the night away,

and it's like the frame of the crime scene with the chalk.

He just looks dead.

All right, honey.

I know you need to lay down right now.

You're laying down. Just relax, okay?

I am honestly pissed off

that he went outside and got this drunk

knowing that we have a major decision to make.

This just may change my mind about everything.

I can't believe he got that turnt up.

He gets that turnt up!

Good night, John Boy.

Good night, Mary Ellen.

Good night, Taylor Bob.

Aw, man, I'm tipsy as hell.

I had a good old time.

You okay?

Damn. I drank so much last night.

I don't remember nothing that happened.

Drink that and lay there.

I got messed up

and I wasn't really supposed to.

I know I got a big decision tonight to make,

but, hey, [ bleep ] happens.

[ muttering ]

Jim: Attention.

All couples to the boot camp room now.

[ muttering ]

As you know, this is the final day to boot camp.

It's been a very rough, tough, tumultuous journey.

But the trip isn't over just yet.

We're going to take your rings back.

And later we will be returning your ring to your spouse.

[ bleep ] you [ bleep ].

This is mine.

Nobody's taking this [ bleep ].

I don't care if I'm dead.

They're not removing this from my finger.

Elizabeth: Tonight there will be a final ceremony,

where you will have to make a very important decision--

Do you want to save your relationship

or are you better off apart?

Announcer: Coming up on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars..."

It's all the crap you don't want.

What are you going to do about that?

Honestly, Jim, I'm undecided.

I'm really just 50-50 right now.

I want to let her go.

Roger: We take every opportunity we can around here to eat,

and I see some fruit laying there.

So I think here's the perfect opportunity

to make something to eat for my very dear friend Ryan.

I made him a little fruit salad...

Jenni: Looked like a penis.

...with a twist.

Later, Slade shows up,

he was Mr. French Bread Penis.

They're saying that's you, babe.

Moments later, I show up with a penis.

Mine is pretty small.

It's a little jalapeno pepper.

I don't know what that says about me.

Elizabeth: Tonight there will be a final ceremony

where you will have to make a very important decision.

Do you want to save your relationship?

or are you better off apart?

If you make a decision to stay in the relationship with your partner,

tonight you'll re-present the ring to them.

If not, you'll leave the ring box empty.

So Ilsa and Bobby, if you could come down

and hand out the ring boxes?

Kevin: I don't ever take mine off,

so I wasn't feeling it at all.

At all.

Having a real hard time letting you take this right now.

Before we send you on your way

to think about your decision,

let's take a look at the progress

you've made in your relationships at this point.

Traci and Kevin...

You came to boot camp

with trust and infidelity issues,

but you guys made some really big strides.

Traci: I can't shut you out.

I have to tell you everything that's on my heart.

Thank you.

Elizabeth: Things were on the way up, but then...

a question mark arose in your relationship

during the lie detector test.

Whether there was infidelity three months ago,

ten years ago, whenever,

that's the challenge for you guys.

Are you going to be willing

to take whatever is in your past,

one at a time, and get rid of them?

Or are you going to let this stuff continue

to fester and poison your marriage?

Jim: All right, you can sit down.

Trista and Ryan.

So you guys came to the marriage boot camp

rating your marriage as a 9 or a 10.

Along the way, you guys discovered

that there were some other things you wanted to work on.

Step up in front of the door that you choose.

Let's walk back around there

and we'll figure out what happened, okay?

I don't know why he would be here,

if he didn't want to change.

Are you guys going to continue to work hard to grow?

'Cause if you don't, you'll be America's favorite perfect couple

that's unhappy.

Tanisha and Clive.

Tanisha, we've seen incredible growth in you,

calming and taking that down and notch and everything.

- That's it. - Clive, don't lie.

I really need this. So go.

Yesterday, Tanisha,

it was revealed that you have romantic feelings

for somebody else.

Clive, you've stepped up.

You've blossomed.

You became an open, loving man.

All the mean things you ever said to me,

I always do forgive you.

I honestly don't want to lose you.

You two really love each other.

But the question is,

do you have the kind of love that will sustain a marriage

through the short term and the long term?

Jenni and Roger,

you came here with many issues.

Elizabeth: But your number one issue has been

how much of your private life

are you willing to play out in the public arena?

Because of my commitment to being in front of these cameras

and to air my life out,

will you give me a break in the future

on not having to do this anymore?

No.

Until you guys are able to find a balance,

you guys are going to struggle here.

You're going to have to make a decision.

What is the balance for the both of you?

Jim: Thank you.

Gretchen and Slade.

When you first came in,

we saw your constant need for approval

and justification for your relationship.

Elizabeth: Once you guys did the hard work

of really digging down into the core issues,

we started to see a different Gretchen and Slade.

Jim: What do you need to forgive yourself for?

For making bad decisions

and now it's hurting my relationship.

Jim: You've chosen to heal yourself.

However, you have two serious issues.

Gretchen wants babies, and also,

are you going to step up and be the man

that gets the job,

that gives her the security that she wants?

Elizabeth: Because if not,

Gretchen will hold resentment against you

and that will poison your relationship.

Okay. We will leave you now

to get ready for the big ceremony tonight.

While you're all getting ready,

we'll be pulling you each individually

for your last one on ones before the final ceremony.

We'll see you tonight.

You're upset with him still?

It's just that lie detector thing.

I just can't get it out of my head

that you said you didn't understand the question.

I took Traci through a lot.

It's just stirring up feelings, emotions.

That's all. I'm good.

Do you trust him? Do you trust his word?

I trust his word, but it just hurts.

It just hurt.

Elizabeth: Hi, ladies.

Hi, gorgeous girls.

You guys look amazing.

Okay, we're going to start with Traci.

Jim: All right, Kevin, come on.

Where's your heart, where's your mind,

regarding the final ceremony?

- Hurt. - Yeah.

Real hurt.

What do you still need to work on?

Kevin: Having trust in Traci.

I think a lot of it's me.

The infidelity-- I brought that into my marriage.

That was the one thing that really damaged us.

I'm not looking for someone to give me the answer,

because I have to do it on my own.

I just have to go with my heart.

Neither one of you needs to condone

what the other person did.

I'm going to give you the ring back.

Okay.

As counselors, we try to help you discover what you want,

and I think that you and Kevin

are going to have to use the tools you have to do that work.

Yes.

- Ryan, let's go. - Let's do it.

Trista: I worry about his insecurities

in our relationship.

I worry that it will fester and cause problems.

If I don't get over the insecurities,

that would be detrimental.

If I were her, I wouldn't continue

to take that kind of stuff.

I'm not sure. Should I pressure him to do the ceremony

or should I put him first?

I see how you guys really fit together.

I just pray you guys bring that institution together

like you want to.

Jenni: It's just another thing that's like...

Woman: You feel like you're almost pushing him--

I'm pushing.

Roger: Oh, [ bleep ].

So, Roger, let's do it.

All right, let's go.

I don't know if I should just not show up.

Elizabeth: Miss Jenni,

I wondered if we could touch base

and make sure that everything's cool

as we go into this next part.

We're going to do a ceremony.

It's going to be on TV.

It's all the crap you don't want.

I know.

What are you going to do about that?

Honestly, Jim, I'm undecided.

I'm totally cool and confident and okay with this.

On the other side,

I feel guilty for putting Roger second

and putting my career first

and making him do something

I know he probably doesn't want to do.

I'm really just 50-50 right now.

I'm just drawn.

Elizabeth: With a baby on the way,

this is an even tougher decision for you.

Yeah.

She said she was still being deceptive toward you.

- Right. - And we don't know what that means.

Exactly.

We're going to let you sit with your thoughts.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Tanisha: Clive loved me,

and he's known me before the world knew Tanisha.

We met at 18,

and I feel like he's still in that

"I'm going to depend on Tanisha,

I'm going to depend on-- "

It's hard for me.

Yeah. Well, of course,

because you want to progress in life.

Right.

Jim: If you put the ring in the box,

it means you want to stay together.

I see a difference in Clive.

Yes, and a difference in how we interact.

Yes.

If there's no ring in the box,

it means you want to go your separate ways.

But you still have deep issues in your relationship.

The time that we spent apart, I'm afraid,

has probably done more harm than good.

You know what you're going to do?

I don't know. I don't think--

I'm confused right now

because I don't want to be with nobody

that I know is going to go around

and sleep with an ex.

But I really do love her and want to be with her.

I just don't want to make the wrong decision.

Oh, my God, I'm taking pictures.

Oh, yeah. Totally.

Time's up. Slade, you're up. Let's go.

Elizabeth: All right, Miss Gretchen.

I'm drinking a beer. That means I'm very stressed.

Are you stressed?

I am a little stressed.

We went through a lot here,

and I feel like I know the direction I definitely want to go,

I just-- sometimes I second guess myself.

Oh, gosh. Well, let's talk about that.

Can you be the man that Gretchen wants you to be?

You still got a lot of things to think about.

Can you do that?

I don't want to be 80 and look back and say

I wish I had children.

I don't want to look back and be 80 and say

I wasn't with the man

that I feel like I deserve to be with.

If he doesn't focus on being the leader in this relationship,

than I would need to tell him

that the relationship is over.

Slade: Part of my does get afraid,

that what if I can't give her what she wants?

Announcer: Coming up on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars..."

Elizabeth: You will have to make a very important decision.

I know I have to do what's right for me.

I love you, but...

Jim: One, two, three...

Slade: Waiting to walk out and face Gretchen,

I don't remember feeling this nervous

in probably 20 years.

Gretchen: I really want him to take into effect

what it is that I said.

Him and I have been through

more than two people should have to go through

in a relationship.

I'm truly just overwhelmed.

Jim: At one point, you got engaged

and you decided you wanted to spend the rest of your life with this person.

But the question now is have you grown together during this boot camp?

Or have you been growing apart?

Elizabeth: On the first day of the marriage boot camp,

we made a promise to you.

We assured you that when you left here,

you would know that the person standing in front of you

is the person that you are meant to spend

the rest of your life with.

Gretchen, would you like to share your heart?

This was hard.

I don't think I ever imagined facing what we faced here.

I want to have a family.

I want to grow old together.

And I-- I just want to make sure

that you're that person that's going to make those things happen for me.

Slade, do you have any words you would like to share?

I had a lot to think about today.

I was having some challenges

between my heart and my head,

and what I need to do became clear.

Please open your ring box.

[ Gretchen sniffles ]

Don't cry.

There's some things I need to tell you.

Part of the lessons I've learned in being here at this camp...

was that I have to take the time to heal myself.

You and I both know that we wouldn't survive.

The man that you proposed to is dead

because the man that I am now

is ready to take control.

That's why I'm doing this.

Gretchen, I want you to be my wife.

I want you to be the mother of my children.

I'm asking you to please reconsider marrying me.

Of course, of course! Of course, of course!

I love you.

Oh.

Gretchen: When Slade got down on one knee

and proposed to me,

my heart just fluttered and did backflips.

It really kind of blew my mind.

I think it was important that you know

how much you mean to me and how much I love you.

Well, you definitely showed that,

although you pissed me off on the journey to get there.

You just proposed to me.

I know.

Ryan: I'm pretty sure Trista will have my ring in her box,

but you never know with her.

Having gone through all of that emotional turbulence,

it was tough for us.

Trista: I walk outside and I get butterflies.

When we got engaged and when we got married

there were cameras around.

So it brought back a lot of very, very happy memories for me.

Jim: You have both experience incredible growth.

The question is, have your grown together

or have you grown apart?

Trista, do you have any last words?

I have loved your for 11 years

and I know I'm going to love you for the rest of my life

in a deeper way than I ever have before because of boot camp.

I just want you to know how much I love you

and how much I always will.

And, Ryan, do you have any last words for Trista?

Ryan: I realize that we aren't perfect.

I'm certainly not perfect,

and that our relationship does have issues.

And for the first time in the ten years

that we've been married,

I was legitimately scared.

Jim: Please open your ring boxes.

I was scared because I always thought that I was strong,

I always thought that I could persevere through anything.

What I didn't perhaps realize

was that when I was faltering,

that it was you that was keeping me elevated.

And when I was successful,

it was your shoulders that I was standing on.

Would you please place the ring back where it belongs?

I love you. Ha ha ha.

You finally beat her.

You have made me realize just how lucky I am

to be your husband, and thank you for that.

- I love you. - I love you, too.

Tanisha, this is so hard, you know?

I know.

And the choice that I'm thinking I'll make,

I'm glad this experience opened his eyes

with a lot of stuff.

Kevin: Standing here waiting takes me back to our wedding

where she made me wait for 2 1/2 hours.

I'm feeling the same as I was feeling then.

It's overwhelming.

Jim: 17 years ago...

you decided you wanted to spend the rest of your life with this person.

And then you hit a lot of roadblocks

which made you question that decision.

You both experienced incredible growth.

Traci, do you have any last words?

17 years ago I said I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you.

You're my best friend.

I know I have to do what's right for me.

Kevin...

We've been through a lot of rough times

throughout these years.

I brought stuff to you that should really hurt you.

I know I feel like second-best sometimes.

I chose that door, and it made sense to me.

You guys hold your boxes out in front of you.

On the count of three, I want you to open your boxes.

One, two, three.

Announcer: Coming up on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars..."

Jim: Is there anything that you would like to share?

I love you, though.

Jim: Put your ring boxes out in front of you.

Okay.

Jim: Please open your ring boxes.

Kevin: I look at our future and I say,

"Am I blocking her?

"Am I there for her?"

And I tell myself, you got to understand her.

So the future is yours.

Ooh.

[ sighs ]

I know that you are my life.

That other ring is the past.

This is our future.

Traci: You have a new ring for me?

I can't live without you.

Ha ha. Got you, Traci.

Think you know everything.

Got this ring on our anniversary.

I was just waiting for the right moment to give it to you.

I'm so thankful for this boot camp.

You're the best.

- I love you so much. - I love you, too, lipstick and all.

- Hey, hey, hey! - Hi!

Kevin: I gave her a new ring.

[ gasps ] Oh, my God, honey!

This is unbelievable!

- Yes! - Exciting!

Jenni: In Marriage Boot Camp

we broke down a ton of walls.

I had to really look into your heart

and you had to look into mine.

I know one of the biggest things that bothers you

is pressuring you to be on TV.

Is it all right if we no longer do the ceremony

and gracefully bow out?

We came here for a reason.

You convinced me to come here

because this was going to be a good thing for us.

Clive: For these eight years,

I've done so much for Tanisha.

I've been the most supportive person for her

and her career.

I'm not sure if I'm making the right decision or not.

Tanisha: I started to see a change in Clive.

I started to see him talk more.

I saw him get his confidence back.

He came alive at Marriage Boot Camp.

It's hard to see the guy that I initially fell in love with.

Jim: This is a big decision.

Is love enough?

That would be the question.

Clive, is there anything

that you would like to share with Tanisha?

Just wanted to let you know that, you know,

I love you, though.

If we got married in 2011,

and you cheated that same year we got married,

you know...

Jim: Tanisha, what words would you like to share with Clive?

Wow, um...

I know what I want to do,

but I have to do what I need to do,

and I'm just so confused.

I don't know if I'm ever going to find

anybody to love me the way you love me.

Jim: Put your ring boxes out in front of you.

Okay.

Jim: Go ahead.

Clive: I wish I could just keep being around you,

we could be friends, lovers,

and everything like that.

But, um, I just have to focus more on myself.

I've never respected you in a long time,

but I have to honestly say I respect your decision.

It's the first time that you actually stepped up to the plate.

I love you,

but I'm done.

Oh, God.

I am in shock.

I feel weak.

I've always wanted Clive to step up to the plate.

I always wanted him to get his stuff together.

Why did it take coming all the way to California,

to the west coast, to Jim and Elizabeth,

for you to realize that you need to fix you?

Clive: I guess I'm a single person right now.

[ sighs ]

We both had empty boxes.

I'm good.

One to go.

Jenni: You want to stay or you want to go?

I put you in these positions.

I make you go on these shows.

Announcer: Coming up on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars..."

Are you guys not going to be together?

One to go.

Jenni: You want to stay or you want to go?

I put you in these positions.

I make you go on these shows.

Even though you put your foot down,

I still drag you along.

Roger: Today is ceremony day,

and Jenni has just expressed to me

that she doesn't want to do it.

I have to say, I'm surprised,

but there's probably some ulterior motive there

that I'm not aware of.

Are you giving 100% by backing out of the ceremony?

I'm giving 100% to you

and what you want out of our relationship.

I would do the ceremony,

and I'm dressed and willing

- and ready to go down there. - [ knock on door ]

Jenni: Come in.

- Hello. - Hey.

Hey, guys. There some kind of problem going on?

We're kind of waiting outside for you guys for awhile.

As I was trying to explain to Roger,

I would not like to go through with the ceremony.

Are you guys not going to be together?

It has nothing to do with our relationship.

It actually has to do with what I'm learning at boot camp

and what I've learned.

I never really put Roger's needs and wants first.

I want to have our kids

and marriage and everything on TV.

This is going to be my first opportunity

not to put our relationship center stage

where he would love that to be private.

What to do you want to do, Roger?

Removing Marriage Boot Camp from the equation?

Removing all of this from the equation.

I would not do it on TV, no.

So the only reason you would do it

is because it's on Marriage Boot Camp.

Because I already committed to this,

and I committed 100% before we got here.

It sounds like she's trying to do a selfless act

to express her love to you.

How does it feel for you, Roger,

that she's saying I'm willing to do this for you?

It feels good.

You do need to make a commitment

that you will continue to grow,

so when that day comes when you do get married,

you will use the tools and everything you've learned here,

so that you have peace about it.

I want to see heartfelt committed change

that you really are considering his needs

and are really ready to take on the fact

that some things need to be private,

and that it's real for you

and not just a symbolic act.

It really has changed us

Jim: Well, make a commitment to each other,

and I'm going to let you off the ceremony.

We're going to celebrate with everybody else.

- Hell, yeah. - Okay.

Coming to Marriage Boot Camp,

I definitely though that we were in an okay position.

I thought we came leaps and bounds from where we once were.

But we didn't realize who we are now

and the walls that were broken because of Marriage Boot Camp

and the true needs and wants

that you as my fiancé truly need from me.

I feel like because of Marriage Boot Camp,

I completely understand you more.

And I can go home and use these tools

to help me be the best fiancée for you.

I accept that and I appreciate that

and I love you so much.

I think both of us have learned so much from this experience.

I look forward to doing things in a new way,

having conversations in a new way

that we've never done before

and figuring things out the right way

with the tools and the skills that we learned here at Marriage Boot Camp.

It took me a few minutes

to understand what you were trying to do here by this gesture,

but I truly, truly appreciate it.

I love you more than ever

and I look forward to a very bright and happy future together.

- I love you. - I love you.

Roger and I needed to find the balance

between what is private in our life

and what is public.

What do you guys say we go down and join the party?

Hell, yeah.

Clive: What's up?

Girl, you not my friend?

- You want a kissy? - Relax.

Come on, let me give you a hug.

I am not your wife anymore.

I'm trying to give you a hug.

No, you're trying to get some still,

even though I'm not your wife.

Tell the truth.

Oh! So you don't want to sleep with me?

Hello?

Clive: I'm trying to pack.

Announcer: Coming up on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars..."

Clive: Are you made because I didn't put the ring in the box?

- Hell, yeah, I'm mad! - Get over it.

Don't talk to me.

I just want to [ bleep ] you up.

Tanisha: You think it's a game? You think it's a game?

You heart was under the influence.

Clive: But--

I don't even know if you're in the right state of mind right now.

Clive: You mad because I didn't put the ring in the box?

Hell, yeah, I'm mad!

I'm not mad. I just feel like--

I just-- I don't know.

Something wrong with you. Get over it.

Don't talk to me. I don't care no more.

You ain't had no ring in a box, too, also.

So how you going to try to get mad at me?

I just want to [ bleep ] you up.

Jim: Congratulations.

I hope everything for you guys turns out great

and you go out and have the happiest marriages ever.

Elizabeth: Go out and inspire other people

to the same growth and hard work

that you guys have put in here.

All right, so let's toast!

Bring on the champagne!

Never thought I'd see the day

when Clive wasn't in love with me anymore.

Clive: My main focus is to focus on myself

and maybe later on if it was meant to be,

me and Tanisha will get back together.

It's all right.

You're going to want some later, anyway.

No, I'm not. Not from you.

You broke up with me.

I've given him so many breaks to get it right,

and he hasn't.

It's over...

and I'm not looking back.

Trista: You might be incredibly happy,

insanely happy,

and looking forward to the future.

But you can always better yourself,

and there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm just so proud to call you friends--

including you guys.

[ muttering ]

We came into Marriage Boot Camp

rating our marriage at a 9 and 10.

And I think we're even happier than when we started.

Gretchen: I am just so excited for my life with Slade,

and I think that he's going to impress the hell out of me.

- Yeah! - Yeah!

- Oh, yeah! - So, to babies! Right, honey!

- Babies! Babies! - No pressure!

Gretchen: I'm excited.

I have a lot of visions of me walking down the aisle

in a big white dress to you,

and seeing you there and seeing the man of my dreams

that I've been waiting for my whole life

standing at the end of that aisle.

I can't wait for that.

Just remember, I'm in charge.

Jenni: I came in here a skeptic

thinking that my relationship was perfect.

I realize that it was far from perfect,

but we're building up new walls.

And I appreciate it,

and I think I'll appreciate my relationship so much more.

I'll cheers to that.

Roger: I think of everything that I learned here.

I need to let myself off the hook

and in doing so I'll let other people off the hook.

I'll let Jenni off the hook...

with certain things.

There's always going to be things

that I'm not going to accept--

I'm a natural pain in the ass. I get it.

But with everyday living,

it's going to make my life a lot simpler.

And, no, you can't go back the just lying all the time.

I would like that.

Traci: Thank you for having us grow.

Even though we still look at our down faults

and we feel as though we can't make it,

I thank you for giving us those tools

that we can go home and continue

to evaluate for the rest of our lives.

Thank you.

I'm in this good place,

and hopefully this love place

will last for another 17 years.

- 17? - Uh-huh.

We're going to live longer than that.

I'm just saying another 17 years, because, I mean--

I look serious, don't I?

- Really? - I look serious.

- Thank you! - Yeah, Jim!

Being the public eye and having their relationships scrutinized

will never change for these boot campers.

But it has been our privilege to work with them

and to give them the tools that they can use

to make their relationships stronger,

healthier, and happier.

We going to get turnt up! Ahh! Yeah!
