| Bad Girls Road Trip Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too | |
The Bad Girls Club is an American reality television series created by Jonathan Murray for Oxygen. The show centers seven mischievous and rebellious women from different backgrounds and personalities who have a number of psychological and behavioral problems. They are introduced to the show to change their pernicious behavior and accomplish specific goals. The cast, who are deemed "bad girls", are asked to maintain and respect rules applied to them before moving in a luxurious mansion and lifestyle for three months. Their lives inside – and outside – of the house are chronicalized and recorded by the production team.
The format of the show changed from antecedent seasons. If any rule breaches, the "bad girl" who broke the rule will be evicted from the show and will be replaced – if early in the season – by a new "bad girl". To date, there have been six complete seasons' of The Bad Girls Club, with the seventh season currently airing on Oxygen. The fourth season had the highest-ratings in Bad Girls' history, becoming the "breakthrough season" for the show.[3]
The show is broadcast in five different countries worldwide. The Bad Girls Club received negative criticism from television critics because of its pro-violence and addiction from adolescents who emulate the show. The show also spawned several controversies from cast-members who spewed comments and opinions that outraged many viewers of the show. There has been three spin-offs of The Bad Girls Club, most notably Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too, where alumni cast-members seek true love, has become a ratings success. Oxygen has also released a mobile game, comic strip and merchandise in promotion for the show.
Of the 61 contestants, Kerry Harvick (of season one) became a successful country singer after the show.[4] Tanisha Thomas (of season two) became a host for Oxygen's OxygenLive! and of the second season of "Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too". Amber Meade, Amber Buhl, Sarah Michaels, Kendra Jones, Natalie Nunn and Lea Beaulieu have competed in the "Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too" series.
Format
The show's premise follows seven rebellious women who are between the ages of 21 and 27. They co-exist in a mansion for three months, as cameramen record their behavior in and out of the house. The girls, who are deemed "bad girls", comes from a mixture of different backgrounds and personality. The "bad girls" tries to cope with one another in order to change their pernicious behavior and become role models for young women. Some cast-members try to accomplish specific life-achieving goals.
Throughout the show, the "bad girls" must try to adapt to the frequent changes of moods and behaviors of their roommates. They must also obey all rules that were presented to them prior to moving in. If the zero tolerance of physical altercations and violence towards other roommates and production team rule breaches; this may force a cast-member to be evicted from the show. The "bad girls" must also tolerate various interviews in the dairy room and confessionals.
In most cases during the show, the "bad girls" may divide into cliques, create havoc to satisfy oneself, book parties in night clubs and groceries shopping which they try to maintain including their personal lives. The "bad girls" are given sanction to contact their families and their personal relationship(s), the girls are given either a laptop or personal computer connected to a big screen TV.
To date, watching television and using cell phones are prohibited in the bad girls' house. Bullying and "tag teaming" (when two or more cast members double up to intimidate another cast-member) are seen throughout the Bad Girls Club series. In some occasions, a "bad girl" may wish to depart the show because of their detrimental roommates, isolation, growing problems at home, court proceedings or because of their own narcissism.
In rare occasions, multiple "bad girls" may wish to leave the show. The only seasons to have multiple cast-members to leave voluntarily are season 1 (2006), season 5 (2010) and season 6 (2011). If a "bad girl" departs early in the season, a "replacement bad girl" is introduced within one or two episodes. In most cases, the "replacement bad girl" is treated reprehensible. In rare occasions, a "replacement bad girl" may leave voluntarily. The only season to have this done was in season 5.
A Bad Girl knows what she wants and how to get it. She makes her own way, makes her own rules and she makes no apologies. A Bad Girl blazes her own trail and removes obstacles from her path. A Bad Girl fights and forces her way to the top with style and beauty. A Bad Girl believes in jumping first and looking later. People will love you. People will hate you. Others will secretly wish to be you. A Bad Girl is you.
— Bad Girls Club creed[5]
Above is the Bad Girls Club creed which was introduced in the third season of the Bad Girls Club.
Season's 1 and 2
The format for the first season of the Bad Girls Club was contradistinctive from subsequent seasons. The age differences in the cast for season one was 21 and 31. The use of "nicknames" were not introduced until the third season of the Bad Girls Club. Season one also saw the first time that a rare occasion of multiple "replacement bad girls" enters the show.
Although there were distinctiveness in season one, the rules that are currently present in the show's format existed throughout subsequent seasons. Another format that continued was the way the show debuted; which allowed viewers to unfold a physical altercation leading to the first eviction of the season.
In the second season, the format of the show changed drastically. The maximum age requirements to apply dropped from 35 to 27. The cast of season two were given mandatory non-profit jobs to help them build a work ethic along with stability of being dependent on others, such as teamwork and commitment for success in later life. Quitting the job or failure to attend resulted in mandatory removal from the show. The girls were given the jobs of planning, decision making, and build cooperation. Season two became the first and only season of the Bad Girls Club to perform this and also was the final season to air 30-minute episodes.
Live shows
On August 3, 2010, during the OxygenLive TV recap episode, re-imagined live television combined social medias Facebook and Twitter with program content. This allowed fans to submit their own opinions and comments about the show and of the "bad girls" which were aired on television during the 10 p.m hour.[6]
In January 2011, Oxygen released OxygenLive! an online talk show featuring Tanisha Thomas (of season two) as the host. The show was broadcast after season six debuted on Oxygen. The talk show centered the cast of season six and occasionally alumni "bad girls". Thomas, as the host, asked several questions to the girls in order to dish out rumors and confessions.[7]

Critical reception
Many homophobic slurs have caught the attention from many media.[31][32][33] Mary Mitchell of Sun Times stated that the show was "[...] hazardous to the female psyche".[34] Mitchell also stated that "Just like some teens try to emulate rappers in their dress and behavior, the same is true for "bad girls [club]."[34] She also instated that the show gives a "distorted picture" of how to live the good life.[34] She then called the cast "wannabes" who are "sleeping in a mansion they can't pay for".[34] Mitchell believes that most people know that the cast are living "a bogus lifestyle" while also stating that the Bad Girls Club's message is "disturbing".[34] Many adolescents have emulated The Bad Girls Club, a negative consequence that many locals try to prohibit the viewing of the show.[35] The show also received negative criticism from African-American viewers, believing that the show is "not what being a black woman is all about."[36] Mary Chase of Reflector stated that "[...] there are several TV programs [including Bad Girls Club that are] devoted to acting as trashy and mean as possible".[37]
Controversies
Season 4
During the premiere episode of the fourth season, "Off The Wall", Natalie Nunn and Annie Andersen were talking amongst themselves on which night club to attend. Nunn told Anderson that Chris Brown was at a night club that Nunn wanted to attend. She also asked Anderson if she was a fan. Anderson replied that she wasn't because of the domestic violence case that Brown was involved in. Nunn immediately went on the defense for Brown stating "Who cares, Rihanna was a punk bitch, and she got her ass whop for a reason". Nunn also stated that Rihanna is a "crazy bitch" and told Anderson that she doesn't know her, like Nunn does. When the episode had aired, Brown reportedly stated that he doesn't know who Nunn was, which was questioned by Nunn during the reunion show.[38] Nunn then stated that Brown made that comment, because the cast of the show was not unveiled yet. Perez Hilton, the host of the reunion, had asked Nunn if Rihanna had confronted her after her comment that she had made towards her. Nunn answered yes, stating that the two had reportedly been arguing during a dinner party in New York City.[39] During the reunion, Nunn stated that she and Brown had a "fling" prior to the show.[40][41] Shortly before the reunion was over, Nunn expressed that she does not condone domestic violence and apologized if her comment had enraged fans and other people who had gone through domestic violence.[41]
Season 5
"I had no idea where I was and [I] had to go to the ER over night. They later discovered someone put PCP in my drink. They can't show it on the show because then that guy could sue for slander. I am honestly really upset they didnt explain that [during] the show. I think its really messed up how the entire story [wasn't ever] shown [on air], whatever. DONE!"
Kristen Kelly expressing an incident that ensued prior to her altercation with Lea.
During the episode "The Wicked Witch Of Key West", Kristen Kelly was at a bar with Christina Marie Hopkins. While there, a random guy offered to buy drinks for the two girls. While doing so, the guy added PCP hypnotic sleeping pills which made Kelly to be intoxicated. Kelly claimed she suffered bruises on her body when the guy grabbed her and handled her roughly. Kelly also reported that the producers of the show did not want to air the guy on television in order from being sued. She also blamed the drug for her reasoning behind hitting another cast-member, Lea Beaulieu in the face, resulting in a physical altercation.[42]
One of Christina Marie Hopkins' friend recorded her intoxicated making racial slurs about a African American women who had threaten her. The video surfaced on the Internet and outraged many people.[43] Oxygen reported to TMZ.com that Hopkins will never appear on their channel again.[43] TMZ.com reported that roommate Ashley Cheatham sent Hopkins a hate text visible to the world. In it, Cheatham told Hopkins to "[...] do us all a favor and go kill yourself".[44] After her incident, Hopkins released an apology letter stating her reasons for the slurs.[45]
After the season five had wrapped, Catya Washington was sentenced to jail for procession of a concealed weapon and illegal use of drugs.[46] However, several days later, Washington was sentenced back to jail after Washington struck a wife of a guy who Washington was dating and sprayed mace in the wife's face.[47] She was then charged with aggravated assault, inflicting serious bodily injury, possession of an instrument of crime (mace), and recklessly endangering another person.[47] Washington's bail was set at $500,000, though her family raised fundraiser to bail her out.[48] She was then released under house arrest.[49] However, Washington was arrested again because of "outstanding bench warrant" several days after her release.[50] Washington was released from jail with an extended house arrest curfew.[51]
Season 7
On March 13, 2011, TMZ.com reported that production was banned from at least eight clubs due to the clubs "not wanting to be associated with the show's bad image". The cast were also not allowed to Pierre Thomas's Mardi Gras party at the The Metropolitan Night Club.[52]
On April 12, 2011 cast member Tasha Malek went to an on-duty cop outside the Bad Girls house to make a formal complaint on fellow cast member Nastasia Townsend. Malek told the cop that Townsend was placing her personal belongings into a garbage bag while telling her "she needed to leave the house" which escalated into a physical fight as they wrestled to the floor.[53] The two were issued summons by the police for disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct.[54]
