In case you've been avoiding the Oxygen channel because of it's apparent Lifetime Network leeway, there is one reason to tune into the female-centric network. The guilty, guilty, guilty pleasure of the Bad Girls Club.
Created by one of the creators of MTV's pioneering The Real World, Bad Girls Club follows seven to eight self-proclaimed bad girls living "harmoniously" together in a beautiful Los Angeles pad.
Of course, because each girl is a self-proclaimed "Baddest Bitch" out there, bumps and ugly fights (with cringeworthy and hilarious moments) ensue when the girls duke it out for top Bitch status.
It might make some roll their eyes in disbelief, but the Bad Girls Club succesfully plays up to catty female stereotypes while at the same time giving the girls the opportunity (if they see it) to reform themselves.
I love the show, and I'm addicted to it. It's more real than the real world, more do or die than the survivor and better than any love reality show, because there is no tangible prize. Plus, because the premise is based on being naughty, there is none of the usual good girl gone trickster. Everything is up front, love it or hate it.
The show is on Season 5 and this is the most explosive season yet. Natalie "I Run LA!", Kate, Amber, Annie, Florina, Kendra, Portia (she's left at the time of post) and Lexxie all take on stop and rewatch cat fights, bisexual trysts, naked randomness, money, men and lots of clubbing. Good girls are nice, but bad girls are a little too much fun to watch and hide.
Bad Girls Club airs every Tuesday at 8 p.m. Central on Oxygen
