After four days at Marriage Boot Camp, the guests exploded at a festive dinner last week. Brandi Glanville crossed the line when she tried to flirt with Jim Jones, but since she might legit have a concussion after being attacked by a dog two weeks ago, maybe we can cut her a little slack?

Chrissy is still a little miffed. “I’m irresistable,” Jim says in a deadpan voice. The Mob Wife sisters have to agree with Chrissy here — it’s a sign of disrespect. Also, let’s not forget about how, earlier, she whipped her boobs out and they had star decals on them.

Brandi says she’s the “fun girl” and assumes other girls just don’t “get” her. Meanwhile, Renee from Mob Wives — who has addiction issues that her sister Lana thinks ruined the family — really feels the need to take a pill. Speaking of pills, where are the Portwoods?

The Pill Drama

Dr. Ish and Dr. V talk about everyone behind a pillar, and mention how everyone seems to be a little crazy. Renee supposedly took a pill from Brandi last night, and Brandi is real into attention, and the Portwoods are a mess. Ish wants to talk to Renee, especially, about what went down.

Renee says she didn’t even think about it, since she needed the pill to sleep.  She admitted it was a Xanax. “I’m not going to discuss it with anyone who doesn’t understand it,” she says. She doesn’t talk about it with her sisters, even though she’s struggling now.

Guy tries really hard in the kitchen to talk about his cole slaw (supposedly it’s better than what Colonel Sanders would make!) but nobody’s listening, They’re more about the Xanax mystery. “I wake up and I’m fucking angry,” Renee says with tears in her eyes. “I am suffering right now. I want to take a pill! Period!”

Supposedly, according to Dr. V, Renee had kicked her Xanax addiction just eight months ago with rehab. Whoops. But right now, it’s time for the challenge.

Locked Out

The Boot Campers are told to enter the Boot Camp Room, but realize they’re all locked out. Amber immediately starts cursing, since obviously this is a big problem for her?

“We locked them out to make sure they stick this out,” Dr. V said.

V and Ish appear with camping gear. “Today’s day five, which means they’re halfway through.” Dr. V says each camper needs to earn their way back in. “Your life depends on it,” she says. Each camper gets a backpack, and Amber is quick to tell Matt that he’s wearing his backpack wrong. “I’d rather have surgery than do anything outside,”  Matt says. They have to catch and cook dinner in a river, according to Chrissy.

Brandi is cool about it, since supposedly her and Guy camped their entire lives. Let’s see if they pull through. Meanwhile, Mama Jones is worried she might run into a tiger.

Jenn, Renee, and Lana are quick to try and set up camp. Renee is taking charge, and Dr. Ish believes it’ll make her feel more in control.  It’s a little tougher with the Jones camp — Jim and Chrissy have a hard time communicating on how to set up the tent. Jim Jones, I have to say, is the most lively he’s ever been. He’s talking!

A few of the Boot Campers have made comments about Amber’s mom, Tonya. Nobody can understand her. In fact, she often has subtitles. Brandi and Guy even bonded a little over pointing this out in a confessional. Brandi’s also trying to keep her distance from Jim, based on what happened the other night.

Guy actually asks Brandi if she wants a glass of wine, and Brandi says she doesn’t. This is when they’re out fishing. Amber (with Matt missing from the confessional, for some strange reason) said that wine would be a terrible idea, and that Brandi is one of the worst people in the house. Tonya says something about fishing, but I can’t understand it at all. It was like “You gotta fishfhjsbxmff.” She’s been on Teen Mom a bit, and I swear she wasn’t this bad.

Brandi is starting to feel a little alienated, especially by Chrissy. Guy keeps on pushing the wine, which is kind of strange.

Matt tries to feed a fish to Amber, who swears she hasn’t eaten a fish in 15 years. Later, she spits it out after saying it’s “so good.” Unsure if she just doesn’t like fish, or if it’s because she’s used to Cracker Barrel meatloaf and green beans.

Outside, Tonya feels nauseous. But honestly? This miiiight be alcohol withdrawal. I’m not a doctor, but Tonya seems either sick or slurring. I know for a fact she’s had a rough past, which I feel for, but. It’s weird that I haven’t got a good read on her yet. I’ve actually forgotten she’s on this show a few times.

Dr. V and Dr. Ish say the whole challenge was for them to work together. But there’s one last step! There’s a broken key in a gigantic woodpile, and each person needs to hold a piece of the key within the family. If they do that, they can get back in the house.

The Log

Amber, Matt, and Tonya are first. “You’ve been to prison, you can do this,” Matt says. They need to reach into a gross log to retrieve it, and holy crap, Amber flips shit.

The log has creepy crawlies in it. “We filled that woodpile full of bugs,” Dr. Ish casually states. But despite how gross it was,  all three of them grab their key parts and put their key together. In  a confessional that follows, Brandi does a good impression of Amber by pretty much yelling out, “Don’t fuck with me!”

Renee, Jenn, and Lana are next. They don’t freak out as much, probably because they know what to expect and are also on a show called Mob Wives, which sounds scarier than residential street bugs. “Right now, we’re surviving each other man,” Renee says. “This is gold.”

Guy says he’d love to camp outside since he’d love to be with “Brandi in the tent,” and thankfully, Brandi points out how creepy that sounds. The two of them reach into the log, and while Brandi flips a little bit, she manages to grab her key. Matt comments in a confessional how it’s only a bug that won’t hurt her, probably failing to remember that his own fiancée freaked out the most so far.

Wait, no. Chrissy and her fam were way worse.. They literally all ran  away screaming from the logs. Jim Jones is super sad that he has roach juice on his sweater, and Chrissy starts believing they’re crawling all over her hair. But it’s Amber who pukes over seeing the size of the bugs. “Amber is hurlin’!” Chrissy says.

“She does not like bugs,” Matt comments. He later calls her a champ and a boss for getting through it. “You’re so gangster, but you can’t handle some cockroaches?” Brandi states in a confessional.

Jim is pretty upset about the challenge. They key was too far back, and all three of them couldn’t do it. He refuses to try it again, and the rest of the family seems to agree.

Meeting Judge Lynn Toler

Now it’s time for Judge Lynn Toler to come out and tell people what she thinks. She feels the Graziano sisters love each other, and that the Portwoods need to focus on control and security. “The only control you have now is to control her!” Toler says to Matt. Brandi makes a point in saying that Toler isn’t a big fan of Guy, unlike everyone else in the house. The Jones family needs to retreat in their tiny tent, wile the rest of the families get to go back to their rooms, which — to be honest — aren’t that much better.

Inside, Renee decides to open up to her sisters, saying that she needs to be with other addicts. “I don’t feel strong enough yet,” she says.

As for the Portwoods, they’re in their cribs and a fight starts. “There’s a lot of deeper issues between Amber and Tonya,” Matt says. Tonya was seeing another man, and told Amber this when she was 13. “I had no structure,” Amber says. She was abandoned alone, while her mom was out with boyfriends. How did this topic even come up? As Tonya walks out, Amber yells that her mom is on drugs.
