Bad Girls Club 2 on Oxygen Brings in New Blood, Old Habits

New crew, same old outcome. Stick seven complete strangers with some sort of social disease in the same house and you get mayhem and good TV ratings.

Except in this version, the house looks more like a reincarnation of the Suicide Girls, the latest trend in pop culture trying to change the image of brunettes, with the ratio of darks to blondes at a whopping 6-1, as opposed to the largely blonde household from last season.

In this chapter of the Bad Girls Club you'll watch a full-figured black woman named Tanisha who is unemployed but dreaming of Hollywood, can't shut her mouth for the life of her and makes oblique references to her hometown of Brooklyn every chance she gets; two strippers named Darlen and Cordelia, the latter an adult films actress with a propensity for talking about inappropriate things at the dinner table (Sex, for example) and playing the victim. Darlen looks like she ingested half the bathroom shelf and is always getting into drunken fights.

Also in the cast are a radio personality from Portland named Nuveen who is actually the biggest trouble-maker in the house, a single mom from Vegas named Jennavecia who doesn't do much of anything except try to befriend everyone and a Phoenix poet named Lyric who keeps to herself and probably wishes she could take down the whole bunch in one fell swoop.

The only blonde in the home, another Brooklynite named Hanna, has a striking resemblance to American Idol blonde Kellie Pickler. She's formed a clique with Nuveen and enjoys pissing off the other girls in the house.

Though the bad girls are about as different as night and day they share some things in common, particularly the fact that most of the denizens of the house have children.

Although it remains to be seen if the new batch of bad girls can live up to what Ripsi did in the house last season before she was kicked out, there were a few signs of trouble brewing between Nuveen and the two strippers in the first three episodes, though nobody was booted.

The other interesting twist came in the first episode when the girls were offered their choice of living quarters. The catch came about when the girls were also offered home furnishings for their rooms as well as some clothes and shoes.

That's when the fur started to fly, though you'll have to tune in every Tuesday on Oxygen to see what the girls really do to each other.
