zara012307What a wonderful week it's been. I've watched 24, American Idol, The Hills, The Office, 30 Rock, and so on and so forth. Basically, I've watched "good" shows. That all had to come to an end as Bad Girls Club once again reared its ugly head tonight. Like the title says, this show is bad. Really bad. And yet, I'm finding myself drawn in against my better judgment. Maybe it's because Zara reminds me all too well of a drama-magnet friend of mine. Or maybe it's because I simply have very low standards these days. Either way, we're only seven episodes in, and the knowledge that there are at least another fifteen or sixteen left has reduced me to a whimpering bag of tears. Why, Oxygen? WHY???

This week's episode was called "Miss Understanding," which was a little dumb because no one showed even the slightest sign of "understanding." I suppose the title could have been sarcastic, but I don't have enough faith in that. Anyway, the show started off with Zara on the phone with Tomik, trying to figure out what the deal was with him and Amy. For those of you who may have forgotten, Tomik had made some moves on Amy, going so far as to profess his douchebag love to her in an email, but when faced with these transgressions, he firmly denied any wrongdoing. "Don't make me out to be one of these asses that hits on your friend. You have a huuuuge misunderstanding, misconception about the whole Amy incident," he insisted. Yes, Zara had it all wrong. When Tomik amorously called Aimee a fortune cookie, he only meant that in the most platonic way possible. And why would someone like Tomik, the heir to Peyton Manning's penis-shaped head award, ever lie to Zara?

Well, somehow Zara was convinced that Tomik was into her, and they were back to bantering like the two idiots they are. "It's a good, growing relationship," she announced. And by "good" and "growing," she meant "dumb" and "suicide-worthy."

Later, we saw several shots of the mess Zara's been leaving around the bedroom, culminating in a bottle of ketchup in the hot tub. Seriously, who needs ketchup in the hot tub? Oh, that's right. IDIOTS. Leslie, Zara's roommate and self-professed neat freak, seemed to be tolerating her disgusting surroundings, but she warned us, "If she crosses that line with me, it will get handled." Hmmm... wonder if Zara will cross that line...

That night, Leslie and Ty decided to go to a black club, and for a moment, it looked like Zara might join too. She revealed that she was afraid to be the only white girl, but Leslie told her not to worry -- they'd have her back. The three girls and Aimee then piled into the limo, but on the drive over, Ty managed to scare the bejesus out of Zara by saying, "Negroes can get real fuckin' ignorant!" Uh oh! We can practically see the warning light flashing in Zara's eyes, "White girl beware! White girl beware! ABORT ABORT ABORT!!!!"

Sure enough, at the last second, Zara decided to back out of the evening's activities, instead taking a random Jaguar back to the house. She explained to us that she simply wasn't used to hanging out with black people because she comes from a town of all white people, leaving me to wonder if she only hangs out with people who were represented in her home town. If that's the case, there must a LOT of douchebags back home.

At the club, the three girls had a blast, and afterwards, Aimee confirmed that she did in fact have a ball. "I always enjoy myself wherever I go," she said, clearly forgetting her nonstop bitching when the girls went to that sports bar in Santa Monica a few weeks ago. The girls then discussed the whole Zara situation, with Ty noting that she always goes to the white bars, even though she and Leslie are often the only black people there. And guess what? They still have fun despite the crowd. Ty did have a point, but in Zara defense, she is an idiot.
