Rarely do I cover catfights regarding the Bad Girls Club.
It's not because I don't like the show, or the girls, but normally because most of the catfights are very short in duration and get broken up quickly.
One of the tenants of the show is that the girls exhibit "no physical violence" towards one another. I obviously understand the sentiment but feel that these aren't truly "bad girls" if they can't mix it up with each other from time to time.
However, I have noticed over the years that the show often advertises clips of the catfights in the promo commercials for the show. It is my opinion they are playing on the thin line. The show's stated goal is to have the bad girls live together with one another and "tough it out" in the end while becoming a role model of sorts in the process.
It's an admirable ploy, I suppose, because obviously they want to keep their current advertisers and not tarnish the Oxygen network in any way. However, as stated above, they do advertise the catfights in the promos.
Therefore, they understand the allure, but in my opinion do not want to step over the line.
A good argument could probably be made that it would be a bad thing to "cross that line" because the producers would be encouraging and possibly influencing bad behavior on the public. I can buy and understand that. Of course, I love catty women and find little much sexier. Not everyone shares this view and rightly so.
Fans of our genre are yearning for something in the mainstream to deliver. The Bad Girls Club has the right girls and set up. It could be the perfect show for catfight fans.
However, I think ratings would go up dramatically, and they would pull in more of the general public, if they changed the format.
My opinion is what they should do is bring on 16 girls...........have a catfight (with hairpulling and slapping) or female wrestling tournament (real wrestling) and the winner of the tournament is the "Bad Girl" and gets some type of cash prize of $100,000 or something of that nature.
The good thing is that they have a lot of past and current girls to choose from. Any girl who has been on the show who would turn this offer down is not a "bad girl" in my opinion.
Here is the list of girls that have appeared on the "Bad Girls Club":
Season 1:
Zara Sprankle
Ripsi Terzian
Leslie Ramsue
Kerry Harvick
Aimee Landi
Jodie Howell
Ty Colliers
DeAnn Witt
Joanna Hernandez
Andrea Laing

Darlen Escobar
Tanisha Thomas
Neveen Ismail
Cordelia Carlisle
Jennavecia Russo
Hanna Thompson
Melissa 'Lyric' Greene
Andrea Sharples
Season 3:
Sarah Michael
Tiffany Torrence-Davis
Whitney Collings
Amber Buell
Amber Meade
Ailea Carr
Kayla Carter
Ashley Weaver
Season 4:
Amber McWha
Florina Kaja
Kate Squillace
Annie Andersen
Natalie Nunn
Kendra Jones
Portia Beaman
Lexie Woltz
Season 5:
Morgan Osman
Lea Beaulieu
Danielle Rosario
Catya Washington
Brandi Arceneaux
Erica Langston
Kristen Kelly
Kayleigh Scott
Ashley Cheatham
Christina Hopkins
Season 6:
Jessica Rodriguez
Kori Koether
Jade Bennett
Sydney Steinfeldt
Lauren Spears
Charmaine Warren
Nikki Galladay
Ashley King
Jennifer Buonagurio
Wilmarie Sena
Season 7:
Tasha Malek
Natashia Townsend
(these are the only two names announced only because a catfight took place and was filed with the police between these two. Season 7 is supposed to air in the Summer of 2011.)
Going into Season 7........there are now over 50 "Bad Girls".
Plenty of ladies to have a tournament with. I feel that if the producers want to make it clean they could simply not have hairpulling, or faceslapping, and go with straight up real female vs female wrestling and add interesting stipulations along the way.
Say it's Cordelia Carlisle vs Hanna Thompson. The loser has to bark like a dog. Maybe say the other woman is better. Kiss a foot. Do something humiliating. These are bad girls afterall!
Or so they say.
There are a lot of matchups I would find interesting, and would even pay to see. However, here is a short list if I was to pick one match from each season I would like to see. This is not easy to do.
Jodie Howell vs Kerry Harvick
Darlen Escobar vs Neveen Ismail
Amber Buell vs Ailea Carr
Kate Squillace vs Natalie Nunn
Morgan Osman vs Lea Beaulieu
Sydney Steinfeldt vs Charmaine Warren
Tasha Malek vs Natashia Townsend
The possibilities really are endless.
I think the show would make money, and bring in ratings, but really the platform is the ultimate question.
Could something like this be done on the Oxygen network?
Or would the producers of the Bad Girls Club have to move to a network that would be more open to this kind of thing?
And, would advertisers buy space for the show?
Either way, it's a good idea, someone needs to do it, but I think the Bad Girls Club is better positioned than most. It would be "reality" tv at it's best and I think people would flock in droves to watch it.
