Last week, amidst all the chair-throwin' chaos of The Bad Girls Club, I wondered how soft-spoken, oft-lacerated Kerry could ever be considered "bad." After all, wasn't it she who was the victim of Ripsi's fists of fury? And wasn't it she who seemed more fragile than a thin wafer? And wasn't it she who spoke in those sweet, hospitable Southern tones? Well, Kerry may not be the physically violent type, but by the end of last night's episode, we saw that she certainly was no angel either. The word "cheating slut" might come to mind. Normally, I wouldn't be so harsh (okay, maybe I would), but hey, this is the Bad Girls Club. These bitches need to be tamed!
This week's episode began with the girls all hanging out in the living room, continuing to discuss the future of Ripsi. For those of you who may have missed all the fun, Ripsi got rip(si) roaring drunk last week and essentially unleashed a torrent of violence on the house. Bearing the brunt of her inebriated fury were Kerry and Jodie, not to mention some very unlucky chairs and Pier 1 items. Anyway, we now found the girls all debating Ripsi's future in the house. Should she stay, or should she go? Kerry flat out announced that either Ripsi had to leave or she would leave. Who would go??
In a last ditch attempt to extract pity or empathy or whatever from Kerry, Ripsi again reiterated that she'd never gotten so drunk before, and when that didn't seem to work (Zara was laughing in the background), she decided that maybe if she raised her voice, it might be more effective. And so Ripsi, her hair still wrapped in a towel of shame, began yelling, "I DON'T REMEMBER THIS SHIT!!! I DON'T REMEMBER IT!!!!!" But seriously, she doesn't have a temper or anything. Ripsi then realized that her strict Armenian parents probably wouldn't be so proud of her at this moment; so she exonerated them from any blame by saying, "The kind of family I was brought up in, you don't ACT THIS WAY!!!!" What was is that? Screaming randomly AT THE END OF YOUR SENTENCES!!!!!
Truth was that this was a very strange, almost paradoxical scene. It seemed like Ripsi was having some sort of weird apologetic tantrum. Of course, no one actually believed she was sincere. She was just trying to cover her ass, and this was most evident when Jodie suggested that she maybe get some therapy. Immediately, Ripsi dropped her whole contrite tone and snapped back, "Don't judge me! SHUT UP!!!" Yeah, just because she got wasted and went on a violent rampage and trashed the house and beat up a girl who was minding her own business on account of being ASLEEP doesn't mean that she might need therapy!!! STOP JUDGING POOR RIPSI!!!
Nevertheless, Jodie quickly shot back, "I don't throw fists, sweetheart."
"You know what? I will throw fists again! So you better shut up!" Ripsi threatened. Memo to Ripsi: If you want to convince the girls that you won't throw fists again, you probably shouldn't promise to, you know, throw fists again.
Ultimately, Jodie announced, "I feel like I'm too good for all this." It probably was true, but then again, I'm sure Jodie's no angel either. As you might expect, this certainly set Ripsi off. "Oh! You feel like you're too good for all this?" she asked. "I come from the most privileged background, and I don't act this way!!!" Yeah, you tell her, Ripsi! She's not a snob! A drunken, idiotic, violent mess, yes. But snob? NEVER!
As you might imagine, this all didn't work out too well for the Ripsi-doodle. It was decided that she must go home, causing her best friend forever of four days, Zara, to resume her bawling routine. Mmmm... the sweet nectar of psychotic neediness.
Jodie and Kerry then headed out in the SUV to discuss Ripsi's various issues, and holy shit! Did you see how fast Jodie was driving that car down the hill? She looked like she might have been approaching warp speed. Bad Girl indeed! Meanwhile, back at the house, Ripsi decided to atone for her transgressions by simply giving away most of her wardrobe, including many designer items. Resident Fraggle Rock outcast, Aimee, was more than happy to benefit from this strange behavior, telling us, "Bye, Ripsi. Knowing you for four days was great because you gave me a Nicole Miller dress. That's all I had to do: know you for four days. Thank you!"

Anyone remember an episode of the show "Intervention" on A&E where they had a girl that looked and acted just like "Ripsi"? As a matter of fact, her name just came to me-it was Christy. She was one of those cases that was so bad that they had to dedicate an entire hour to just her instead of two people. Christy was an alcoholic and on meth as well. I'm going to have to launch my own private totally pointless investigation.

Side note-when you read a recap for a show you've never heard of, as in The Bad Girls Club, then do a search to see if there's a website for the show, do not-I repeat DO NOT-click on the first choice the search comes up with! I can tell it's been a long day at work, I didn't even read the description I just clicked...some things should not be on your work computer, if even only for a second. Here's to hoping I don't get fired!!

Ok, so call me a "Bad Girl" but where I come from grinding on a guy while dancing isn't necessarily cheating... Nor slutty... Maybe that's just in my world... Then again, I didn't actually see the show or the alleged nature of the grinding so who am I to judge? ;)
I love you so much B-Side - I'll read anything you recap on!

Maybe it's just me but I think the house would be a lot more interesting with Ripsi around. I didnt like Kerry that much anyway.
I do hope she gets some help tho cuz that chick is crazy lol.

Hey B-Side - Please tell me you're working on the Real World Denver (Colorado!) recap. I missed last night's episode and I really wanted to know if Tyrie bitch-slapped that ho Jenn? (Highly doubtful, I know...) Imagine what a show that would have been! Anyway, I'm tired of this Bad Girls crap already - why do men watch the Oxygen channel in the first place? Are you on your "men"-strual cycle right now? LOL Get crackin so I can get to laughin. Love you B-Side ! :)

Are you telling me no one else noticed that Ripsi hadn't changed clothes since being tossed in the pool? She even slept in those clothes, woke up the next morning wrapped a towel (why?) around her head and still didn't change. Was her hair still wet from the pool? Did Ripsi take a shower and put on the same clothes? Oh well, I guess that's the kinda family she grew up in. It made me feel dirty to see her in the same clothes for 3 episodes. And not in a good way.

Joslyn- I know exactly who you are talking about! NOW I know who Ripsi reminded me of! It wasn't till she went on her drunken rampage that something went off in my head that she looked familiar. She is the spitting image of that Christy girl!!

McCreamy:
I know, right? That has to be her! C'mon- Ripsi/ Cristy-sounds pretty similar. Although that would be kind of sad if it it is her, because her episode on Intervention was super disturbing. Hopefully, this show was taped pre-"Intervention". I did look on the A&E website, which even has a video snippet of Cristy/Ripsi? and I think that is her. Oh well, my worthless and timewasting investigation continues...

LOL Nilly!
Yeah work is slow for me today too.
Too bad Ripsi got the boot, we could have more material to use in our investigation haha. If it's not the same girl, they MUST come from the same family, or at least the same gene pool.

Once I read B-side's recap, I knew I had to watch this show and I finally caught the episodes over the weekend. The drunken Ripsi fighting was horrifying to watch and yet when the insane music started up during her Energizer Bunny segment, I couldn't help but laugh.
I think she had some sort of shawl wrapped around her head, not a towel, since it was black and had a fringe. She was probably hiding her 'went to bed with wet hair' look.
I think she should have stayed and Kerry should have gone home. Watching a drunk is much more entertaining than watching a sleeze.

Yeah I agree, I think Ripsi should have stayed. What she did was wrong, but what do you expect from a Bad Girl? LOL. What was Kerry expecting coming on to a show with such a name? Plus Kerry is boring and now Zara is annoying rather than funny without Rips.

I would have liked to have seen Ripsi try to mess with Ty (the gal who threw her to the floor after the attack on the sleeping woman).
So far, I like Aimee - but I reserve final judgement until after we see just how bad she gets.

I love Ripsi! i was cracking up watching her cause chaos. Everytime she was down, she got right back up again, like the walking dead or something. She reminded of those video games where you have to kill the zombies, and you think their dead but they keep coming at you. haha. And at the same time she was telling Ty that she loved Kerry. I wish she didn't have to leave, she was so entertaining. There should be a petition to bring her back into the house.

Ripsi is pretty good entertainment...for sure!
I can't STAND Kerry...that Reba McIntyre look-a-like-wanna be!
I hope her BF dumped her after he saw this ep!
