WE tv’s “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” has cast four new couples for the show’s second season, including “The Hills” stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, who have been doing the reality show circuit since the MTV show wrapped in 2010.
The show focuses on couples struggling to keep their marriages together as they try and work out their issues during the show’s concentrated therapy sessions.
Other familiar faces from reality TV are “Real Housewives of New York’s” Aviva and Reid Drescher, “Survivor: Blood vs. Water’s” Tyson Apostol and Rachel Foulger, “Bad Girls Club” alum Natalie Nunn and her NFL star husband, Jacob Payne, and Syleena Johnson and Kiwane Garris of “R&B Divas.”
Among the marital issues addressed are “Speidi” trying to start a family. Heidi desperately wants babies now, while Spencer … not so much.
“RHONY’s” Aviva Drescher’s infatuation with being famous doesn’t sit well with her husband (the couple was bumped off the Bravo reality franchise at the end of last season.)
“Bad Girls’” Natalie Nunn and her husband’s major problem is Jacob’s disapproval over Natalie’s racy photos plastered all over social media.
Apostol and Foulger had no problems taking risks on “Survivor,” but Tyson is struggling to take a leap of faith when it comes to marrying Rachel.
Finally, “R&B Divas” star Johnson is all about the limelight, while former pro-basketball player Garris is now a stay-at-home dad.
Led by directors Jim and Elizabeth Carroll, the couples will face off with “Divorce Court’s” Judge Lynn Toler, to see if their marriage is worth saving.
“Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” premieres on WE tv Friday, Jan. 9 at 9 p.m.
