| I’m not really into the watch-strangers-live-together genre of reality television because I think the format has gotten stale and raggedy over the years. Oooh…let’s get a bunch of people from all walks of stereotypes into a fancy house and see how they deal with each other. That sh*t hasn’t been fresh since the first “Real World” premiered in 1992.
Oxygen’s “Bad Girls Club” is pretty much the same way, and I find it about as exciting as eating an old-ass diaper. And yet, if I happen catch an episode while flipping channels, I have to watch it because I am obsessed with trying to figure out what the point of the show is. Have you ever watched an episode before? It’s just a bunch of really loud girls with drinking problems and bad tempers living together as roommates. Every single season can be boiled down to a simple formula: A group of girls who already know they hate each other even before they’ve introduced themselves.
There will always be at least two girls who are from the same state, but who hate each other because they have way too much county pride.
No matter how much animosity exists, the girls will manage to put their differences aside for the sake of getting really wasted before, during, and after a trip to a local club.
But the alcohol inhibits their common sense and what little human decency they have, causing the girls to start beating each other up over strange things like being called a b*tch even though they call themselves b*tches all the time…
There are lots of fights over phone usage too. You get a lot of action scenes spliced together with talking-head segments whenever that sh*t goes down… Action Scene:

And that’s pretty much it. That is the formula for a successful multi-season reality show: a group of girls who repeat words like “classy” and “b*tch” every time they open their mouths, and then beat and cuss the crap out of each other. I don’t understand where the entertainment value comes in! Happy New Year! Posted 1/1/2012 at 1:23 AM
