Althea and Benzino (Love and Hip Hop Atlanta) are tired of fighting and think their main problem is disrespect. Although the pair enter the mansion mid-argument, it would appear communication is a huge issue, as well. Sean and Catherine (The Bachelor) have been married a year and a half so what could possibly be the issue? Apparently they speak two different languages and need to work on arguing in a healthy way. A far cry from the couple they walk in to meet, sitting on separate couches and not making eye contact.

The next couple to make their entrance are Sarah and Ink (Bad Girls Club) who don't agree with the concept of monogamy. She is in favor yet "brings him bitches", he is not... and Benzino is so jealous. Next is Sundy and Cedrik (Basketball Wives LA) who are dealing with their recent divorce due to infidelity. They currently live together and coparent but is marriage still an option? Maybe not because Benzino admits to "knowing" Sundy. Could he be the one that tore Sundy and Cedrik's marriage apart? The real question is if Cedrik knows, because he's not acting like he does. Last but not least are Mama June and Sugar Bear (Here Comes Honey Boo Boo). They've been together over 11 years but Sugar Bear allegedly cheated, although he denies it. Catherine is beyond thrilled because she's such a big fan and no one else in the room seems to know who the couple is.

While the counselors appreciate the couples for being real, they also want them to start confronting the issues immediately. Exercise 1 is to play an uncensored game to establish the couples issues and test how the partners feel about key issues in the relationship. Basically, Sugar Bear says their sex life is not satisfying and Mama June decries that she is no longer in love with Sugar Bear. Sunday says she isn't ready to approach her husband about her infidelities and doesn't feel he's Mr. Right. Ink is mad at Sarah because she won't shut up yet Ink thinks that it's unfair that he has to accept the girls she brings into their sex life yet she doesn't accept the girls he brings in. Sean has said during fights that "I just can't do this anymore" but Catherine feels that he invalidates her feelings. Benzino feels that Althea has a temper like the San Andreas Fault, a 10 on the Ricter Scale. Althea wants Benzino to control his anger before they get married.

Exercise 2 is to break the couples down to build them up. Before bed they have to find their rooms but it's obviously not going to be that simple. The couples nastiest quotes are written all over the walls, a constant reminder that they have horrible moments between them. Seeing everyone's room, and dirty laundry, makes them question why they are really here. The directors are more concerned that Sean is worried about the other relationships rather than his own. Bootcamp Directors Elizabeth and Jim Caroll along with Co-Directors David Bishop and Ilsa Norman have their work cutout for them this season.
