Parents need to know that this raunchy reality show is (hopefully) not intended for kids. It's essentially devoid of positive female role models, and so much dialogue is bleeped out it's often difficult to tell what the characters are saying. Unless you want your teens to soak up bad behavior like binge drinking, cursing, and simulating sex with strangers in public places, steer clear of this road trip from hell.
Positive messages:These women are dubbed "bad girls" for a reason, and the show celebrates their love of fighting, swearing, drinking, and promiscuity.
Violence:Women are shown punching, hitting, and kicking each other in bar brawls and full-blown catfights.
Sex:One character is an exotic dancer, and ample cleavage abounds. Other characters are shown dancing suggestively with the aid of stripper poles and making out in public with men and women.
Language:Many curse words (such as "s--t" and "f--k") are bleeped, but second-tier swearing like "ass" and "hell" flows freely. The word "bitch," in particular, is used repeatedly by female characters in reference to each other ... or just about anything.
Consumerism:The show serves as one long commercial for the second season of Bad Girls Club. The Oxygen network and its Web site are mentioned often.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Although only a few of the women smoke, binge drinking is a pastime that everyone seems to enjoy. Characters are reguarly shown doing shots of hard liquor and guzzling cocktails that should probably be sipped.

This show should NOT be shown during after-school hours. Today, flipping through my channels, I came across girl on girl sex with a guy sitting on the bed watching. One girl was rubbing his crotch with her foot- in a close-up!! The girl pulled the other's top down, and while the actual sucking of the nipple was faded out, it was discussed. This type of show should only be on late hour TV- please have some respect for our children!
I am very concerned that this television program is shown during the traditional "family viewing" hour. I have not seen this television program, nor do I want to. My 11 year old daughter watched it without my knowledge and the viewing prompted her to write a very explicit story about the show. After finding this story, my husband and I had a very frank talk with our daughter about appropriate behavior. Obviously, the behavior exhibited by these women is not intended for children. Please put this show on later in the evening or don't show it at all.
