Halfway through “Nothing Fancy: Diana Kennedy,” the 96-year-old doyenne of traditional Mexican cooking offers a brisk lesson in making guacamole, complete with a number of strict, sharply emphasized rules: no garlic; serrano chillies only; chop the onion, don’t mince it; never blend the avocado; and if people say they don’t like cilantro, “for heaven’s sake, don’t invite them.” It’s a tart tutorial that would cut cheery “Queer Eye” food assembler Antoni Porowski to the quick, and is emblematic of the veteran’s uncompromising, no-guff approach to the cuisine that has adopted her and consumed her for over six decades: In an era of fusion food and anyone-can shortcuts, she remains an unfashionable but essential stickler for the old ways. Elizabeth Carroll’s zingy documentary portrait, meanwhile, puts a relevant, environmentally-minded contemporary lens on Kennedy’s cherished traditionalism.

The former NFL player is strategically paired with Tami Roman, who the 30-year-old has butted heads with all season long. In the exclusive sneak peek, we get a look at the "Real World" alum and the dad-of-two on a mock date -- and Tami can't help but bring up the drama with Kendra.

But Jim and Elizabeth Carroll finally make the couple go there during a role reversal exercise. "We keep kind of dancing around this a little bit and we want to help you, and we wanna teach you guys how to fight," Elizabeth explained. "Until we can see you guys fight, like really fight."

Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars certainly seems to be kicking Hank Baskett's butt. In a scene from tonight's new episode of the WEtv series, Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett sees her husband on his phone and positively loses it, perhaps suspecting that he's on the phone with another woman. "I want to kill him!" she screams to Boot Camp co-director Elizabeth Carroll, before turning slightly toward Hank and repeating, "I want to kill you! I want to [bleeping] beat the [bleep] out of you!" "We're not going to be able to get anything worked out right here like this. Let Jim [Carroll] talk to Hank for a second..."

The drama on season 3 of "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars" is already heating up! On the heels of their mock weddings, Jim and Elizabeth Carroll put the reality stars in the hot seat again by asking them to write down things they don't like about each other. In an exclusive sneak peek of this week's episode, Aubrey O'Day and boyfriend Travis Garland don't hold anything back when it comes to slamming each other's biggest flaws. "I'd like you to pick one of the stickers on him that has caused you the most pain," Jim says to the troubled couple. "I want you to tell him what it is and how it makes you feel." "You don't respect my opinions and actions," Aubrey declares. "Usually it's never constructive," her longtime beau replies. "Anything that I do that's not to your liking is a put-down. It's disrespecting you," she yells, adding air quotes to the last statement.
