Tough Love - Season 3 (2011)

Steve Ward is back and this time, he’s taking his Tough Love Bootcamp on the road…to Miami, one of the hottest dating scenes around! With eight new bootcampers to train for love, Steve has his hands full.

Steve puts his bootcamper’s texting skills to a secret test and gets some surprising results! Later, the ladies and their dates are ambushed with all the dirty laundry from their online profiles.

Steve’s mom, JoAnn, arrives at bootcamp to help him with an early morning raid of the ladies rooms and personal belongings. What she and Steve discover will lead to a dramatic makeover that leaves one bootcamper in tears.

Steve challenges the ladies to communicate with their dates non-verbally, using body language to convey their feelings and complete a series of saucy Miami activities.

The ladies are challenged to show their sexy side, while dancing the samba in full Brazilian attire: headdresses, sequins and not much else.

Steve teaches his bootcampers a tough lesson about dating deal breakers, their own as well as those of the men they are seeing.

Bootcamp takes an emotional turn this week when the girls are asked to confront any lingering relationship issues they have with their mothers.

The girls are tested on their moral compass in a revealing game show called “Land O’ Lies”. When Steve calls on them to reveal the biggest lie they’ve ever told, a game-changing secret is revealed about one of the ladies.

The girls are taken aback when their ex-boyfriends begin ringing the doorbell. But what happens when your confrontational past meets your romantic present when the girls’ current flames show up for the party?

It’s time for our bootcampers to take their fledgling relationship to the next level – in the Bahamas! The girls and their dates board a real life love boat, but some of these relationships may not survive the trip.

It's time for the Promise Ring Ceremony. Each bootcamper must make a personal decision and a promise...to herself, to Steve and especially to her suitor at bootcamp.

Steve and Joann follow up with the ladies of Tough Love Miami eight months after bootcamp. Lessons have been learned and lives have been changed, but some bootcamp drama won't go away.
