The second episode of the thirteenth installment of the "Bad Girls Club" premiered last night on Oxygen. This episode definitely had a lot of drama and intense emotions. The episode opened with Judi talking to herself and to the plants. The main one at the center of everything was the infamous Natalie Nunn and Judi’s drinking. The episode started with the life coach paying the girls a visit to try to see how much help the girls needed in reaching their redemption.

During these consultations, we learned a lot of deep and emotional revelations about a few of the girls that made viewers see them in a completely new light. Before that, however, while Natalie was in her consultation where she was telling the life coach how she wants to learn how to care because she had gotten very cocky and inconsiderate lately, Camilla was again being extra and doing the most by calling Jada and Sara minions because they were hanging out with Natalie and going with her to do stuff.She began screaming and running around flailing her arms (I reiterate….doing the most) and kept stating how she wasn’t going to put her hands on anybody, but, regardless, we see she has not change (nor wants to change) in the slightest. After that incident, Camilla went in for her consultation where she started out telling life coach Laura about how amazing her mom was and how she gave her everything she needs, however, true emotions started coming out as she revealed that she always feels she had to create a front for her mom but it was never enough.

Next it was Judi’s turn to confront her demons. She walked in with no shoes and a drink and the life coach sent her back to adjust herself and walk in like she actually wants to change. One thing that did not sit well with Laura was the fact that Judi was crying and being emotional one second when she admits to the idea that she thinks she is crazy, but she quickly starts laughing a few seconds later and continues to fluctuate in emotions throughout the consultation. The most emotional discussion, at least to me, was when Dani went to talk to Laura and told her how she was pregnant but then she lost it. That was a very deep moment as you can see how much effect that event had on Dani.

Afterwards, Julie tries to talk to Judi and tell her how much she cares about her and how much she really wants to help her. They were friends before they came in and now it was all being torn apart. As soon as Julie finishes her heartfelt speech, Judi responds by saying she wants to go to see a surgeon to try to see if she can suck the fat out of her cheeks. Julie was confused and hurt that Judi would respond with something that has nothing to do with their discussion. This was a very annoying moment for Judi at first as it makes viewers think that she is just diverting the questions and ignoring the fact that there are people that actually want to help her.

However, when Rocky tried to have a heart to heart with Judi and told her how much she cares about her, Judi responds with the same thing about the cheek surgery which makes viewers realize that she is not diverting the assistance. That was her defense mechanism for trying to change the subject because she did not want to face the truth that she has a problem and that all these people see her as a serious problem. That night, Redd, Camilla, Natalie, and Dani go out to the club where they discuss Judi’s problem and how she is being annoying. Natalie comes up with the idea that they should have an intervention with Judi and if it doesn’t work then to force her out of the house.

However, the next day we find Natalie doing Judi’s hair and telling her that she is her friend and appearing to be taking Judi under her wing which really ticked off the other girls, for Judi is taking everything Natalie says and does to such a high standard when it is all fake while Judi completely dismissed her friends heartfelt feelings about Judi. After Natalie creates a click which includes Sara and Judi, a lot of the members of the house begin to call Natalie out on her fakeness and how she is playing with Judi’s emotions knowing how much Judi wants to be liked and accepted by her (for who knows what reasons).

Camilla and Redd attack Natalie about how she is playing Judi and about what she said in the limo about trying to send her home. Natalie stated how they are all acting like they care and are her friend but then again they let her walk around the house with her hair not done, nails looking a mess, etc. But like Dani said, someone who fixes your hair is not your friend and, besides, Judi’s hair still looked a mess anyways so Natalie failed. Judi could not seem to really understand what they were all trying to tell her, for while Julie tried to talk to her about Natalie not being a good influence on her and she needs to realize who her real friends are, Judi replied with the fact that she wants to be friends with Natalie too.

This is where Judi began becoming annoying again because she is behaving like a child and being extra but she was not like this during her season and Julie even acknowledged how Judi does not act like this outside of the house. It makes viewers wonder does Judi really have a problem or is she just putting on a show. Meanwhile, Camilla gets snatched by security after she throws a drink at Natalie and they both almost fight. Natalie finally stands up and fights back (after security is between them of course). Redd throws a hit at Natalie after she threw something at her and that is where the show finishes leaving viewers wondering is a fight really going to go down in the second episode. This is the first season in a long time where a fight has not fully occurred within the first few days of being in the house.

Check in next week to see if Judi finally listens to reason or will she keep sucking up to Natalie...
