We start off Dad Camp by meeting the couples. There's Elliott (22) and Tiffany (19), who are 6 months pregnant, together 7 months, most recognizable for Elliott's DEAD BEAT knuckle tattoos. Next are Donta (21) and Bri (23), 6 ½ months pregnant, together just over 1 year. Donta loves weed, cheating on Bri, and not working. Then there's bug-eyed Aaron (25) and Michelle (21), 5 months pregnant, together 2 ½ years. Aaron seems way less harmless than the first two dudes and is easily my favorite of the bunch. Austin (21) and Candace (21) follow, and are 7 ½ months pregnant, together 4 ½ years. Candace tells us that she's caught Austin watching porn, which is by no means worse than what the other dudes have done or anything, but there's something so embarrassing about having that announced on national television that I can't help but giggle. Also, he's an alcoholic in denial, which depressingly pulls me back into the reality of the show. Next up there's Brian (24) and Christina (25), 4 ½ months pregnant, dating for 6 months. Brian really, really hates Tennessee. Last and maybe least we have the oldest of the bunch, Wes (27) and Cheryl (30), 5 months pregnant, together 7 months. Wes is nostalgic for his frat-guy days, and Cheryl is just way too good for this show. You'll notice that those people who did mention their fathers either had a bad relationship with him or grew up without him.

After some banter amongst the dudes about why they're totally justified in being terrible, they're taken to a hospital maternity room to watch video footage of babies being born. Once they're sufficiently grossed out, in walks Dr. Jeff Gardere, a "licensed psychologist and no-nonsense therapist." Meanwhile, the girls are at the house, where there's two women and two big beds to every room. Sucks that they're each going to have a roommate, but the setup is really nice compared to what the dudes have to sleep on -- crappy cots, all six in one room. When the guys come home, they're upset to see their bunker, but that's what you get for being the worst humans ever.

While the boys are complaining and desperately searching the cupboards for booze, Dr. Jeff comes in and says that the guys will be getting a night out while the girls will be enjoying a quiet dinner. Dr. Jeff THs that this isn't a setup, but, like, it's very clearly a setup.

So we watch them in the van talking about how wasted they're going to get, and then watch them get wasted at the bar. It's then that these (planted?) girls are there, and the dudes start hitting on them. In a word: Ewwww. It's a very strong mix of pathetic/awkward/creepy. The more we see them work their game, the more apparent it is that these six dudes are exactly like the douche bags we see in every other VH1 reality show.

Cut to: Their adorable girlfriends as they bond and eat and talk about pregnancy and make me wish that this was a reality show where women go off for an awesome pregnant spa weekend and they come home to great husbands who have knuckle tattoos that say "I LOVE MY WIFE." And then one of them whips out a Doppler transducer and they give each other mini-sonograms. Well played, editors! I am crying.

The madness finally ends, and next thing we know, the couples are hanging out with Dr. Jeff and talking about what Dad Camp is going to be like. I quickly noticed there's a huge TV in the room that they're gathered in, and -- surprise surprise -- the Doc tells the group that they're going to use that TV to watch the dudes from last night. Well, this is very bad. Elliott is flirty with a bar girl, touching her hand and being lead creep. The other guys are like, "Dude, you have a pregnant girlfriend," and Elliot's like, "We're on the rocks!" and storms in the bathroom and causes a big scene. Back in the room, everyone is looking at Elliot (my favorite disapproving stares being from Cheryl) and he knows he's screwed. Poor Tiffany! We go through the same thing with some video footage of Austin, who actually kisses another girl, and Candace loses it.

So, this is all very bad, but on the bright side, Dr. Jeff is great moderator. He calls the girls "honey" and treats them respectfully, while finally putting some responsibility on the dads. He tells them that they can't have any drugs or alcohol on campus, and suggests that they fess up if they brought anything illegal because he had a crew search their bags. No one says anything, and we all totally know someone brought something. Based on the over-the-top camera work, we also totally know that this person was Donta, because we have literally been hit over the head with the fact that Donta smokes weed -- like, someone from VH1 actually came into our house and hit us with a hammer that had a picture of Donta smoking weed on it. So Dr. Jeff pulls out a huge bag of weed and says, "Does this belong to anyone?" and after all of his teeth are pulled out, Donta says that he guesses it was him. This is going to be a long 30 days.

After the meeting is over, the girls who were cheated on talk to their boyfriends, and everyone else just kind of hangs out. The best, saddest, and easiest way to sum up this show is by the scene between Candace and Austin talking about what happened at the bar: We see super-preggers Candace crying while Austin swears that he was thinking of their unborn child the whole time, to which Candace replies, "You took a shot to our daughter."

All in all, Dad Camp has won my approval, and if Summer Mondays weren't already so jam-packed with good-bad reality TV, I'd maybe even watch it live. For now, it's got my DVR season pass of approval. Kudos!
