BRIDEZILLAS Season 10 to Air Directly Following at 10:00 ET/PT

New York — April 17, 2013 — America’s most notorious brides have tied the knot and are back…and so is the drama. Now that they’ve made it down the aisle and past “I do,” five of WE tv’s most memorable Bridezillas and their husbands head off to an extreme marriage boot camp as they try to make it “til death do us part” in a last ditch effort to save their unions in WE tv’s newest original nine-part series MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP: BRIDEZILLAS, premiering Friday, May 31 at 9PM ET/PT. Viewers watched each Bridezilla claw and cry her way to the altar, but now her ’zilla habits are getting in the way of her fairytale happily-ever-after. Each hour-long episode will feature five couples from the past nine seasons of Bridezillas—Melissa & Chris, Porsha & Byron, Remi & Rob, Kirsten & Seth, and Danni & Marlon—all living under one roof for two intense weeks, as they endure the relationship rigors that come from trying to excise their devilish demons and live happily ever after…or not.

After the toasts are made [and the champagne thrown in the groom’s face], the cake is cut [and mashed into the groom’s face] and the honeymoon is taken [and the groom is left behind by accident, of course], reality sinks in and these Bridezillas have to adjust to their new lives as husband and wife. While planning the wedding might have seemed hard, these five couples have discovered that marriage is even more challenging. Teetering on the edge of divorce, enter coaches Jim Carroll and his wife Elizabeth, whose explosive and confrontational marriage boot camp has helped thousands of couples. During this intensive course, the husbands and wives are forced to go head-to-head with their mates, and fellow Bridezillas, as the boot camp directors put them through a progressive series of strategic exercises and drills designed to get to the root of what is destroying their marriage. Each episode puts the relationships to a test with drills escalating in intensity from eulogizing their spouse at life-like funerals to undergoing lie detector tests to unearth their deepest, darkest secrets.

On the premiere episode, after a seemingly relaxing dinner the first night, the couples are quickly jolted back to reality as they are called into a screening room where they are confronted with the confessional videos from their applications to boot camp, revealing the intimate details of the problems plaguing each of their marriages—infidelity, lying, intimacy and selfishness. Day Two of boot camp delivers even more shock and emotion when couples are taken to visit divorce attorneys and learn about the “what ifs” if they call it quits. At the end of boot camp, the Bridezilla couples are faced with the ultimate decision—remain married or throw in the towel. Will these Bridezillas change their ways or end up divorced? Will they leave in an “altered” state after living under one roof and going through this intense counseling?

America’s most notorious brides are back for a no-holds-barred final season of WE tv’s hit reality series BRIDEZILLASpremiering Saturday, May 31 at 10PM ET/PT with 22, one-hour episodes, following its first-ever spin-off MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP: BRIDEZILLAS. Before the ceremony, the reception and happily ever after, there’s the planner, the designer, the caterer and the bride, who was perfectly normal until planning her wedding took over her life. As a part of WE tv’s celebration of ten years of Bridezillas, these brides behavior will live up to their reputation and more, proving that being beautiful on the outside doesn’t make you pretty on the inside. The brides on season ten Bridezillas are hotter, foxier…and downright badder than ever before! From throwing temper tantrums to making violent threats against family and friends, witness what happens to a woman in the time between “will you marry me” and “I do.”

For the final season of BRIDEZILLAS, some of reality TV’s most notorious divas will plan their weddings as the camera rolls. Viewers will be reintroduced to former “Survivor” contestant Roxy Birchfield, a fame-seeking narcissist who eloped with her husband after knowing him for only three weeks. One year later, Roxy isn’t satisfied with getting her big day and now that her short-lived reality stint is up, she’s desperate to get another 15 minutes by becoming the ultimate Bridezilla. Also, former “Russian Dolls” reality star Marina Levitis is through having the cameras follow her life and to celebrate her 20-year wedding anniversary with an over-the-top vow-renewal ceremony, Marina is planning the biggest event in New York City and one of the fanciest nuptials in the history of the series.
