After breaking records for the Oxygen network, it is no wonder why The Bad Girls club is going to return for it’s forth season. It is obvious for that reason why it is coming back for another season, but I have never been or will be interested in this show. Further more, I have no idea what the audience for The Bad Girls Club sees in the show. According to Oxygen’s description of the show “Bad Girls Club brings seven self-proclaimed "bad girls" together in a beautiful Los Angeles mansion, and drama reigns supreme.”
Viewers of the bad Girls Club enjoy the show because of the simple fact to see proclaimed bad girls live together. And to see “the bad girls” interact with each other. With watching episodes of The Bad Girls Club, I understand how it might be interesting and entertaining to see a bunch of bad girls live in a house together. And when you put them to live in a house together, you are going to have some conflicts. Every episode I watched seemed to have at least two of the girls (if not more) in the house fighting. If the fights lasted more than an episode (which most did), than you would uncomfortably watch the girls do dirty things to each other. From one Bad Girl urinating in the sink to another bad girl banging pots and pans while yelling and screaming at her housemates to wake them up. It is a modern day version of a freak show at the circus. Viewers are so intrigued with how the “Bad Girls” behave and want to see more with every episode.
The viewers of The Bad Girls Club are attracted to not only watching a bunch of bad girls interacting with each other but also writing on message boards about the show. The show seems to bring out the viewers inner bad girl. So much that they would use words like whore to describe a bad girl. They love watching the show but they get involved so much that they like to think they know the girls personally. So far in which they would stick up for their favorite bad girls on the message boards. Not only stick up for ones they like but to hate on those they dislike. The viewers get so involved that they sometimes go on rants on the message boards to express there love/hate about the bad girls. With the fans going on the message board to express their opinions about the bad girls, they also express their opinions about each others opinions. They may disagree with a viewer about Sarah being normal or they might agree that Sarah is the only normal one of the third season.
While researching The Bad girls Club, I was just reminded more why I will never like The Bad Girls Club. I never can find it truly entertaining to watch proclaimed bad girl fight with each for a whole hour. But if you are one to be entertained by seven self-proclaimed "bad girls" together in a beautiful Los Angeles mansion, and drama reigns supreme.” than you yourself could truly be a “Bad Girl”
First of all I have never heard of this show and secondly, nor would I watch it. It does sound like a horrible twist on "Real World" but with more drama. I am glad that you mentioned how the fights would continue throughout the whole show, because it really does show how ridiculous the show is. Off the subject, I think it would be funny to show the "bad girls" children (if and when they have them) some classic moments during the filming of the show. Maybe then they would realize that the show and behavior was absurd.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this show, but i get a good understanding what it is about through your review. I can see both sides of the arguement which makes this review very strong. I probably would never watch this show either. Although you hate it you seem to have a good understanding of why people like it. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThis show sounds horrible and the premise is terrible. The links helped give a good idea of how ridiculous it is and to see that the seasons keep going is proof that we as a society love trash tv.
ReplyDeletePeter, I really like the research you've done here. The links to the message bords are really helpful--they certainly back up what you're saying about what the audience looks for in the show. I'm a little let down that you can't get past being so judgmental about it, though--especially since you've written about the Real World not once but twice on here?! You can't find any common ground with this show at all?
