Format
editAlumni from previous seasons of The Bad Girls Club are "looking for the man of their dreams." For season two, the house chosen for the show is the Canfield-Moreno Estate. Three "bad girls" have a choice of 15 bachelors to explore love, friendships, etc. Each week features a variety of challenges. The "bad girls" battle it out and compete to be the "HBIC" - Tanisha Thomas says that it stands for not Head Bitch In Charge, but instead Head Badgirl in Charge.[2] Instead of season 1 with each "bad girl" choosing who is up for elimination, the "HBIC" chooses who is up for elimination.
