Remember last week when I was saying that I'd been caught up in the Bad Girls Club drama despite myself? Yeah. That ended today. Gone were the cat fights, and in their place was a boring episode that focused on the career ambitions of Leslie and Kerry. Thrilling. As you can imagine, the travails of a failed country star and an exotic dancer were less than captivating. In fact, as cynical and awful as this sounds, I have a hard time thinking that either of these girls can get a noteworthy career, especially after appearing on a lowly reality show on Oxygen. But hey, they might as well test the waters, pretend like they want bigger and better things until they inevitably enter the world of Professional Reality Stardom.
This week's show started with Leslie mourning the departure of her partner in crime (and possibly sapphic activities), Ty. In a pathetic and sad display, Leslie took a huge limo to a black club where she drank and danced alone, occasionally ingesting shots -- very slooowwwly, I might add.
Back at the house, Aimee tried to talk up a big game in the wake of her dust-up with Ty. "I ain't scared of nobody!" she squawked. She then listed off all the reasons why she didn't put up a better fight: she had no sneakers, she had short arms, her nails weren't long enough. Curiously missing from the excuses: I'm tiny and small and fight like a Muppet.
Later, Kerry revealed to us that she had a meeting with songwriter Bobby Tomberlin, a man who might be able to resurrect her career. How very unexciting! I may have been less than thrilled, but at least Kerry's fellow blondes were happy for her. They all hopped into the hot tub, liquored themselves up, and then took off their tops. Well, actually, I think only Jodie took her top off, but that's okay. She had the best rack anyway.
Well, Kerry sang an original tune for the girls, and even though her voice sounded a bit creaky (even for a country singer), and even though the lyrics were a tad banal, and even though she kind of gave up on the tune halfway through, DeAnn and Jodie still squealed with joy as if Justin Timberlake himself had just serenaded them.
Meanwhile, Leslie returned from her night alone at the club. She complained about being out of her comfort zone (a.k.a. the strip bar) and called her mom to announce that she truly missed Ty and wanted to go home. Awwww. So sad. And by "sad," I mean "boring." Painfully so.
At this point, we hit our first commercial, which was astounding since NOTHING had happened in the episode yet. When we returned, we found Kerry dragging Jodie and DeAnn to Bobby Tomberlin's house, a move I could already sense would lead to disaster. Would you ever invite your two ditzy friends to accompany you on one of the biggest job interviews of your life? Especially after seeing the way they acted at that camp fire?
While Kerry headed to Bobby's place, Leslie decided to get her act together and focus on her career too. She called up a photographer who had been referred to her by Ty, and at first I thought she was going to inquire about working on a shoot. It seemed unexpected, but I respected it. Artistic, inspired, not stripping -- maybe she was getting her act together. But then Leslie told us that she actually wanted to pursue modeling. Hmmm... okay... how do I put this lightly? You're kind of, um, not thin. Or amazingly hot and beautiful. You're not ugly by any means. But, well, have you ever actually seen a model? Hey, all the power to you sister. I just think you're kind of delusional. How about you do something like, I don't know, get a degree.
Nevertheless, modeling was better than stripping, even if it did give Leslie false hope that she'd be strutting on the catwalks of Milan and Paris. "I refuse to be thirty and still dancing. REFUSE!" she said, adding, "I should definitely be in soft-core porn by then."
Elsewhere, the blondes were all talking to Bobby Tomberlin, listening to him yap on about "the industry" and his passion for music and blah blah blah. After a while, Kerry and Bobby split off to work while the other girls ambled on the beach. Jodie told DeAnn, "I think Bobby's really cute. He's a dolly baby!" Translation: "He's very wealthy and knows celebrities. And that is attractive to my superficial needs."

Kerry is a no talent slut.
Jodie is my new favorite bad girl, after Ripsi.
Too bad Ty didn't rearrange Aimmee's face, she could of received the plastic surgery she so desperately needs.
The best part of this episode was Ripsi at the end saying what a bitch Kerry was...she said bitch at least 20 times. I loved it, and totally agree.
Oh Ripsi, how I miss you!

I think Kerry is more of a bitch than she lets off. She acts soft-spoken and sweet and innocent when sometimes I notice she's talking shit about someone just like all the other girls.
Jodi is freaking 29 years old. If the girls wants to desperately find a man, then I say let her do what she needs in order to do that. Poor girl--it would also help if she didnt try to hard to still look like she's 19.
Leslie--more power too her. She is my favorite girl out of the whole group, you can automatically tell she's real. I'd love to hang out with her.
Aimee haha...i like to listen to her accent, and I feel like I want to be more outspoken like her, but that clip about her trying to make jodie (or herself rather) believe that she could have put up a better fight was upsetting to watch. I hate when people talk about themselves like that. Ugh...
The producers SERIOUSLY need to make this show an hour long. Honestly, nothing happens in 30 minutes. Yet we watch...
Haha and yes i agree that my favorite part of this show as Ripsi at the end saying "STUPID OLD BITCH" It was worth watching the whole damn episode.

This was one of the most boring yet...right up there with this weeks Real World...DENVER!
Inquiring mind wants to know...where the hell did Tomik go??? Did the girls eat him? Is that why Zara has turned her affection to another man, Jodie?

Looks like we will see more of Tomik next week... please God make this a good episode! I know none will top the Ty and Aimee fight but still....
I think Leslie could make it as a model, just not the traditional idea of a "model" most of us have in our minds. I have seen women that dont look as good as Leslie get modeling work. She won't make big bucks like Naomi Campbell or Kate Moss but maybe she can make a living...
I think it's funny that Ripsi is admitting to not liking Kerry now... makes me think she knew exactly what she was doing when she attacked her and just pretended not to remember. It's funny she's saying it now but she seems to forget she pretended not to have a problem with Kerry when she thought she might be able to stay in the house.

talk about being on a reality show going to your head! leslie is totally old. she looks older than Jodie (but not as old as Kerry). why do they even indulge these old hags? deanne, kerry, leslie, all are sinking this ship. the show wouldve been much better if ripsi had stayed (and im sure it will come out afterwards that producers set her up to kick kerry's ass and then reneged on protecting her), and then this show wouldve been much more focused on aimee, ripsi, and zara, with jodie as a kind of mother hen for degenerates.
deanne is such bad news. i thought the concept for this show was going to be bad girls in the sense of independent strong willed women, and instead it seems to be about weeding those kind of females out in favor of whiny old whores like kerry, deanne, and leslie. who gives a f##k about your "modeling career", your "singing career" or the kid you abandoned for 15 minutes of "fame."
Although Ty leaving compensated for Ripsi. She was another one of those "bad" girls in the "spoiled damaged goods" sense of bad. She had no right to start shit with Aimee and she only did it cause she's self-destructive and can't let anything good or positive work in her life. She never wouldve ordered Leslie to do something like she did Aimee, and who cares that Aimee didnt fight back as hard as Ty fought, cause its obvious fighting over bad manners is some serious pussy shit.
Oxygen if youre so desperate for token black girls, next time get some from the east coast, and then you won't have this boring mindless drama popping up.

I thought the whole Kerry/Jodie/Bobby thing was dumb. I agree w/you, B-Side, when you talk about the fact Kerry shouldn't have brought the girls, but once there, the fact that Jodie was talking to that guy I don't agree at all that she was "stealing spotlight" - what spotlight? They were hanging out, writing music. Jodie and Kerry had two different agendas, so I don't see why Kerry would care unless she was simply bummed SHE wasn't the one getting hit on. So, so dumb.
