(Original Air Date: 02/06/07) An intensive workshop continues in The Dr. Phil House as three wives turn their husbands in to Man Camp in a last-ditch effort to save their marriages. After Scott refuses to clean up a mess in the house, he has an angry discussion with Dr. Phil and storms out. Can his wife, Tara, convince him to give the experience another shot for the sake of his marriage and his family? Then, John and Nic roll up their sleeves and begin to clean the house, while their wives secretly watch in amazement. Will they have a new appreciation for what their better halves do on a daily basis? Plus, Dr. Phil sits down with Nic and Amanda. What did they do to nearly get kicked out of The Dr. Phil House? And will Amanda agree to bring in the man she’s been having an affair with, so she can tell him in front of Dr. Phil that it’s over, once and for all? Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Grow up!

I know it's early in the exercise but I sure don't hold out a lot of hope for Scott. I see very abusive tendencies in him and I don't have much faith in him changing. I hope he grows up. He doesn't seem to want to take responsibiltity for his actions and seems to be bent on making excuses and playing the blame game. Dr. Phil, you were right on when you told him he was acting like a child throwing a tantrum in the grocery store aisle.
I hope his wife wises up and walks, if he walks. It will never get better if they both don't face their anger issues.

07/17 The Dr. Phil House: Man Camp, Part 2

Quote From: ricschic

I believe in calling a spade a spade...and an abusive man is an ABUSER. Sure, he's got feelings. He's got feelings when he's smacking his partner around. He's got feelings when he's making his children's lives a living hell.

I'm not judging an abuser...I care about the woman he's abusing. And as far as an abusive man changing? Show me the statistics of where they've *really* changed. For good. Unfortunately, it is rare. Very rare, indeed. You can call an abuser something else...but he's still going to be an abuser. "A rose by any other name...."

you are so right. He is an abuser and should be called that. Anger is not the issue...control is!

Quote From: ohdang13

You have put that so beautifully!  Dancing is very good money. Why judge anyone no matter what job they choose? And your right, stripper is NOT the same as a prostitute. But I guess most people don't know the meanings for either word. So they just lump them together and call it sex.

 

And for all the people out there judging strippers...do you see anything wrong with a male stripper? Is he just as "bad" as the women who takes off her top?  Well, I will be the first to admit that I go to male strip shows with my girlfriends and we have a blast!  And I'll admit something else that will get all you people judging strippers in an uproar. I GO TO FEMALE STRIP CLUBS WITH MY HUSBAND!  OMG, now I've done it! I broke a huge taboo...i bet I rot in hell now huh? LOL.

 

For anyone, male or female, who does strip and your in this messege board...I say more power to you. Make your money and screw what everyone else thinks. 

 

We all know how this tune goes so sing it with me now....OPINIONS ARE LIKE ***HOLES, EVERYONE HAS ONE!  Us "sinners" strike back once again. LMAO!

 

It was wrong that she was judged by how she earned her money and not by the fact that she was out there earning it. Last I knew exotic dancing was not a crime.

07/17 The Dr. Phil House: Man Camp, Part 2

I've been watching the show today and I'm very upset about what Dr. Phil said to Scott's wife.  The part where she said she'll do anything for her husband to make things work and Dr. Phil told her that that is a lie because she won't shut up.  I understand that Scott isn't the only one who is doing things wrong in the relationship, but come on.  I've been watching the last couple of days and Scott never lets her get two words in edge wise.  He never lets her say anything.  How are you supposed to communicate if he won't ever even sit down and listen to what she has to say.  I feel that she wouldn't have to shout and get mad if he would take a few minutes to sit down and listen to what she has to say without him getting mad and constantly interrupting her.  It is annoying.  If he would listen to what she has to say maybe she would be more willing to listen to what he has to say.   Then Dr. Phil says she won't shut up, I was shocked.

Scott is such a crybaby.....Dr. Phil is right, he needs to get over himself, instead of helping out the other guys with the cleaning he threw a temper tantrum and let the other guys do it by themselves, it doesn't matter if he thinks its not helping his realtionship, he obviosuly didn't understand the reasons behind the activity. He wants to treat his wife like some maid that needs to wait on him hand and foot and keep the house clean, he needs to know what that feels like, if I was his wife I would have left him years ago, he's a jerk and crybaby, leave him!

Things Don't Look Good!!!

Honestly, I was watching the show today, and I could NOT believe my eyes... the way Scott treats his wife is unbelievable!!! I would personally never left a guy treat me like that, and yell in my face like that. It's definetly hard to leave someone you love a lot, but you also have to realize your own self worth. I love Dr.Phil, and I think they deserved to clean all the mess up in the house. Show's them what their wives have to deal with EVERYDAY! I hate irresponsible men, who can make a mess, and let their wives/girlfriends clean it up... are we in junior kindergarten or what? If you can make a mess, you can clean it up!!! Anyways, I will watch the rest of the show on Monday, and hopefully he smartens up...as for the rest of the men, it looks like they could change... all it takes is a little motive! Good Luck Boys!

Show him the curb

That guy who stormed out should have kept going...good ridance. What an idiot! He acted like a spoiled little child having a tantrum. I had to turn the show off he pissed me off too much. His wife is as cracked as he is if she wants to keep the loser.

ManCamp

After watching the show on the Man Camp and reading all the messages the one thing people need to remember it does not matter if you are the man or women and what jobs each of you hold.  You both should give each the same respect and no one should treat each other with abuse through verbal or physical.  When you allow yourself to be treated abusive by your spouse the other person sees this as an invitation to continue.

07/17 The Dr. Phil House: Man Camp, Part 2

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched Scott and Tara's story today and I saw me and my EX Husband.

I was a very angry and unhappy person when I was with him and my daughter was right in the middle of it.    I resented my Ex because I ahd our daughter at age 17 and my life stopped and his didn't.  The only difference is my ex would be silent and that would make me more angry and want to explode.  When scott described going out and being around people his friends and not having to talk to tara that was my ex he would go out after work with friends and come home at all hours. If I called him he would hang up on me because all I would do is put him down and I would just explode.  My ex is very selfish and did for himself it just broke my heart to watch this story and I am not proud of how I treated him I am actually ashamed and god knows what I would look like on tape but that hit home.

Would love to know how they are doing today.

 

To this day me and my ex do not have a relationship of any communication. Went thru a divorce for over 3 years fighting over the children. He has remarried and has a stepdaughter and to this day we still fight and sometimes have to go to court.

I wish my kids and myself one day will have a normal life with no daily drama
