The second season of Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too premiered on April 18, 2011, with Bad Girls Club alumni Tanisha Thomas as the host. [1]
Alumni 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.
