Something has happened to Bad Girls Club. The past few episodes have been -- dare I say -- enjoyable! Is it possible that I'm actually getting hooked on this show? Is it possible that I've finally given myself over to the weekly chaos that passes for drama on this show? I think the answer is yes, yes, and yes, especially after tonight's rowdy fight at the beach. The episode, brilliantly titled "Slap My Beach Up," finally returned the show to its rip-roaring Ripsi roots (unintentional alliteration) as fists flew and tears shed. You know, back on The Duel, MTV teased us for weeks with that notorious Tina-on-Beth punch, but that was nothing compared to the Ty and Aimee melee that went down on Oxygen. You go girls!
When last we saw our bad girls, half of them were galavanting around an illegal campfire while the other half were at home, doing nothing in particular. Scratch that. There was some activity. DeAnn had left a fake mouse under Aimee's bed, and since Aimee is deathly afraid of vermin, she completely flipped out and sprayed all of DeAnn and Kerry's clothing with bleach. Surely this would lead to some sort of disastrous confrontation. Or so I assumed.
Tonight's show opened up with the girls all slinking around as if nothing had happened. None of the blondes seemed to have even noticed that their clothes had received the bleach treatment. Wow. This was kind of anticlimactic. All week long I had waited to see DeAnn's stupefied reaction to what I imagined would be her newly speckled garments, but all we got was nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Instead, we learned about Ty and how she spent her teen years in foster homes, and how she had a tendency to run away, and all she knows is running away, and blah blah blah. Actually, I shouldn't gloss over her. She had some interesting things to say and a more fascinating back story than someone like Zara. However, on this sort of show, I only care about bitch fights, bitch slaps, and bitch chaos.
Nevertheless, Ty reminded us that she was a felon and had spent one and a half years in a correctional facility. She wanted to be a journalist and even went to school to pursue that career, but then it dawned on her that most publications wouldn't want to hire someone with a felony on their record. I'm not sure how true that statement was (Felons Quarterly is always looking for new contributors!), but needless to say, Ty dropped out of school because she was so discouraged about her prospects in life. Kind of sad. And depressing. Oh well. Too bad Starting Over isn't still around because she could really have used some of Iyanla's sage advice (or at least, a ridiculously literal healing exercise).
We then took a brief respite from the Toils of Ty to touch on that aforementioned bleach incident which had gotten me so excited. Apparently, Aimee had sprayed ammonia, not bleach, and I guess that doesn't stain. I don't know. I'm not familiar with my household products. I just know not to spray either of those things on my precious wardrobe.
And with that, the entire bleach retaliation came to a close. Sigh.
That night, Ty and Leslie decided to get drunk and party at L.A. nightclub Basque. While they boozed it up (and man, did they booze it up), the rest of the girls (a.k.a. the white girls) got durnk on wine and cavorted in the hot tub. Zara sang Jodie's praises to us, saying, "She makes me feel better when I do stupid stuff." Translation: she's an enabler.
Turns out that Zara and Jodie were quickly becoming fast friends. It wasn't because Jodie particularly liked Zara. I think it was more as a retaliation against Kerry for befriending DeAnn (not to mention that perceived "third wheel" effect that the botched pranks from last episode caused).
Anyway, while Zara and Jodie became BFF, Ty emerged from the club super drunk. In fact, she was so drunk that she managed to puke all over a cab. Yes, on the way back to the house, she had rolled down the window and thrown up out of the car. The good news was that the car interior was clean. The bad news was that the door was absolutely nasty. Thankfully, the camera crew was sure to zoom in nice and tight and show us every glimmering droplet of vomit... multiple times.

Ty kicked Aimee's mullet ass. It was like 3, 2, 1 contact all over Aimee's face. She may have stood a better chance against Ty if her fighting technique included something along the lines of not closing her eyes as she slapped her hands around. Best TV fight ever! I finally feel like tv has made up for the Tina/Beth one punch fight.

I have disliked Amy from the get go, and I enjoyed the Amy beatdown. Did anyone see Ripsi, she looked realy pretty.

Oh yeah, did anyone hear Ty talking about Aimee was disrespecing her in front of her mom? I thought I heard that.. don't have Tivo so didnt double check. Maybe thats who the random person was although she appeared to be a 20- or 30- something, not old enough to be Ty's mom.

YAY! I love bitch fights. I was so ready to give up on this show after so many lame episodes following Ripsi's departure. Thank you for entertaining me for a few minutes, crazy Ty.

I think Ty said "in front of my kid(s)". :)

I wanted Ty to bash Aimee's face in more, anything would improve that face. That ugly bitch is all talk. I am, however, confused by Ty's whole discussion about 'respect'. Spitting on someone is respect? Hmmmm...
And do we really believe that Zara and Jodie had sex? I think those 2 just want more camera time.

I love Ty.. she was hood and kept it real. I appreciated her bluntness in most situations (ie, talking to Zara even when Leslie was obviously against it, but argued that she was a grown woman and did what she wanted) and honestly, even though she was pretty whack when it came to her boyfriend, she was the most mature. The other girls are too afraid to say anything (they just passively-agressively talk shit about each other) face to face but Ty went balls out. Her beating up Aimee might've started with the wrong intentions, but at least she backed up her word. I bet Aimee was sweating bullets.
Ty, you'll be missed. Hope they bring someone as down as you to the house.. because Deann sucks too.

I think every girl in this house represents every different type of girl. In Aimee's defense, she is not a passive person. She knew Ty had a problem with her after what happend in the night, so just because Ty and Aimee didn't resolve what happend didn't mean Aimee was just all of the sudden going to roll over and do what Ty told her to do.
Nobody is that lazy that they can't offer to pick up a raft--She just got pissed that this girl who obviously had a problem with her, had asked her to do something.
I DO like Ty however. Im all for women standing up for themselves because so many of us just get walked on. But, she demands so much respect but who is she? Aimee has to give her respect when Ty cares nothing for Aimee either? I dont get it.
I kind of wonder how the hell Zara got on this show. How is she a bad girl? I think the producers sort of threw her in there so the others could have a weak target to pick on.
And by the way, i think Aimee is really pretty, but it just depends on who different girls feel they relate to best.

Zara is a bad girl because she does stuff like run through the house naked covered in bubbles. She was born 2 B Wild!

alright first off I love the show bad girls. And I am soo pissed off that Ty got kicked off. She and leslie were the realest ones on there, the other gurls were fake. Even though I wished Ty wouldnt of fought, because she got kicked off. I woulda did the same thang. I hope Leslie keeps her head up, n doesnt let those blondes get to her. N for ty may all of her dreams come true. I love you both
