Bad Girls Club

There is a show on oxygen network about girls who behave naughty. The TV show travels the United States looking for the most outrageous party animals they can find. They bring the top seven "bad girls" to LA and let them live for free and party and a nice house. I have witnessed girls in the episodes wake up and immediately chug a bottle of vodka or violently punch and throw things at eachother. The usual day for each of the girls in the episode is to wake up, do something intentially evil or kniving to one of this roommates, then excessively drink, and go home and fight about the earlier that day or about their drunk night. Sometimes physically, sometimes not.
It is kind of odd that the Oxygen network would air a show portraying women in that light. It is a very entertaining show, but it would fit more in an MTV channel lineup. The girls are constantly acting ridiculous, and getting in unneccasary fights, most of the time because they are drunk. On the other hand it could be comforting to girls to see other girls much more ridiculous than them out there. Therefore they could appreciate the humor in how the girls are acting. But also girls watching the show that are easiler influanced go see these girls having fun and want to try it out. There are different ways different girls could interprut the show, either way its good entertainment.

  1. I don't have any really educated feedback for this one, but I love that show. I have a feeling that Oxygen aired it because no other network would pick up a show about a house of all the obnoxious girls from other reality shows. I interpret the show as something I want to sign up for.

  2. That does seem odd that they would air a show like that. From the ads, Oxygen looks like the kind of channel that would condemn that type of stuff and call it degrading to women. Maybe they have become some consumed in the quest for viewers and money that they will air anything that gets ratings.
