(Original Air Date: 02/05/07) Meet three women ready to divorce their controlling and chauvinistic husbands. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriages – and their sanity – Tara, Amanda and Cherie turn their husbands in to Dr. Phil’s Man Camp, an intensive week-long stay in The Dr. Phil House designed to give them an attitude adjustment and a new appreciation for their wives. Scott has anger issues, Nic had an emotional affair and John thinks he’s superior to all women. Because the wives are also guilty of everything from name-calling to cheating, Dr. Phil brings them in too, unbeknownst to their husbands. All the women say they are tired of being treated like maids, so while the husbands are away, the wives mess up The Dr. Phil House -- in spectacular fashion! Years of pent-up frustration leave the house in a colossal disarray. When the men see the destruction and learn it is their time to clean, tempers flare. One husband refuses to participate and demands an explanation. After a heated discussion, he hangs up on Dr. Phil and storms out, leaving his heart-broken wife behind. Can she convince her husband to return with a participative spirit, or is this the end of their stay … and their relationship? Share your thoughts here.

Find out what happened on the show.

TARA IS NOT A SAHM

Quote From: housewife52

It's not about making a man more sensitive to every whim of his wife. There are just so many men out there who do not appreciate thier stay at home spouses. I personally know men who think that because they work outside the home and bring home the paycheck , that they are the most important player in the marriage. A large number of men never give thier wives the support and appreciation that they deserve for the work they do to hold down the home front. I was a SAHM and I still stay at home while my husband works.(Kids are grown) My husband has always appreciated me, and still continues to do so. And we have never in 33 years communicated the way these couples on the show talk to each other. There are a lot of issues here that these couples need to resolve. It boils down to communication and respect for one another.

But what does Tara and Scott's marriage have to do with SAHM's. Tara isn't a SAHM. Tara has even come on this board saying that she does work!

The premise of the house cleaning was bogus. It appease the audience, but doesn't get at the core issues in Tara and Scott's marriage.

I'm sure your husband appreciates you, but I'm also sure you appreciate your husband and the way he contributes to your family. You're right it boils down to communication and respect, but that goes for both sides, not just the man. Women need to appreciate a man's work too.

Joelle Ogletree did not come across as a very sympathetic person. Even though the boys failed the polygraph, I am inclined to believe they did have a sexual relationship with her. In her position, I would have been protesting my innocence with a lot more emotion than she showed.
