girls have been deceiving as the girls reveal their true ages.
6159 You Can’t Get A Date…You’re Off To Ricki’s
Dating Boot Camp!
The guests on today’s “Ricki” say their friends and/or
family members are absolutely clueless when it comes to dating. The show
was taped in two parts with the help of drill sergeants Jonathan Sharp,
the heartthrob from “Another World”, recruits are in desperate

them off to basic training for 48 hours with our hidden cameras to see
if they are up to muster when they’re out playing the field.
6160 You’ll Never Get Your Crush…’Cuz, Girl, You Weigh
Too Much!
The guests on today’s show are here to reveal their crushes to the
object of their affections.
Their friends say that they may be in for some serious heartache, because
they feel these
love struck women are too far overweight to attract the love of their
life. One woman says
her 300 pound friend has no chance of getting her secret crush unless
she drops at least 100
pounds…but this friend also has a secret crush on the same guy!
6161 I Know We Just Wed, But This Marriage Is Dead!
The newlyweds on today’s show say their dreams of marital bliss
turned into horrifying nightmares right after they said their “I
do’s.” One groom is ready to call it quits after only nine
months because his not-so-blushing-bride has become a barfly who sneaks.
Another, after only four months of marriage, all they do is fight, and
his wife has let her appearance deteriorate. Is there hope for these couples,
or should they pull the plug on their dying marriages?
6162 Wake up girl! I’m Sleeping With Your Man And It’s Your
Fault!
The women on today’s have been messing with other women’s
men…and these seductresses have the nerve to say it’s the
other women’s fault. One woman says she had no choice but to sleep
with her friend’s boyfriend because his girlfriend repeatedly left
him alone and mistreated him. Another woman will tell her own boyfriend
and her friend that she has been cheating with her friend’s man.
The fur will fly and the scales of justice get tipped in Ricki’s
courtroom as the audience serves as judge and jury to determine who’s
to blame for these crimes of passion.

come back home.
6165 Psst! Girlfriend, Get The Clue…He Doesn’t Want You!

their lives.
