I wish Amber had pressed charges on all of them, and sued the show producers for what they allowed and encouraged(they were made to go to the same places and she was made to leave with the girls who wanted to kill her) She is a better person than all of them for not wanting her attackers to face the consequences of their gang violence.
isnt Boston a Boxer? Didnt she say that before? So why all the hair pulling?
There was some bitchassness going on in that fight, not to mention extreme immaturity. I cant fucking stand either of the girls, ailea or that boston chick...fucking obnoxious.
After watching this episode last night, I realized Ailea is the female version of Iago. Participating in the beating, selling her friend out to the cops, and then sobbing when her friend got sent home? Pure malevolence.
I watch this show, ashamedly, and what bothers me is it gets worse every year. In the beginning, rehabilitation was ideal. It was similar to STarting Over and Tool Academy and those concepts. And then it just turned into "Get these girls drunk and fighting stat".
I can not believe that five women thought that it was appropriate to drag a girl to the floor, punch and kick her, all because she annoyed them. Not sure why it took the urging two days later from Tiffany to make them understand how vile they are and still not repentance.
@ArtfulSlinger: I have probably only watched 3 episodes from this season, but I did really like the other 2 seasons. It seriously gets worse. I think it started out in season one as a group of women who have had problems in the past and are supposed to help each other, and in season two that kind of went away, but at least they were supposed to maintain jobs that involved cooperating with each other. And, you know, they used to get in big trouble for fighting. And this is not the first physical attack this season.
True story: I was watching a that Anne Hathaway princess movie with my child in the room. A commercial for this show came on and within about 7 seconds, her little eyes just about bugged out of her head. I did an amazing move of diving across the room, grabbing the remote, and changing the channel before the situation could get any worse.
Even the commercials for this show ought to be considered outside of "safe harbor" rules.
Oxygen really disappoints me with this show. I agree that it's important to know that behavior like this exists so that a dialogue can happen. And that dialogue should include a reminder that violence cannot and should not be tolerated in a civil society. These girls are like... aliens to me.
Do they do this show with dudes, ever? I mean, I watch Ultimate Fighter (what, the guys are hot and they cuddle --er, wrestle) and they do some pretty weird and catty shit, but they have a goal for the show, and it's an elimination-style competition.
Isn't this the behavior that gets people kicked off reality television? Then again, this show casts for volatile participants, what did they REALLY expect???
I just can't figure out the point of this show. They don't learn anything, aren't expected to change, and are rewarded for acting like complete asshats. And it's a chore to sit through; I can't imagine the entertainment in watching this.
Does anyone remember an earlier episode where Ailea was telling Kevin--the older man she met online--that she had spent time in a psychiatric facility? In the scene, he said bemusedly, "Please tell me this was a long time ago," and she replied no, she had been committed for evaluation relatively recently.
I've been wondering ever since how Bunim/Murray could cast her. Even if the production company is blissfully conscience-free, you'd think liability issues would've been taken into account.
Sometimes I watch TV that other people find excruciating; however, this show makes me so uncomfortable I've never made it through a whole episode. It's like watching Intervention. I feel like I'm witnessing someone spiral out of control and it's so awful and painful to me. These poor women are so confused and fucked in the head that they think a. this shit is acceptable and b. it's something to brag about. It scares me. and it makes me sad.
i think that some of these people are mentally ill. as such, the usual, 'they're consenting adults and they agreed to take part in this' argument that i use when people who dislike reality tv call exploitation doesn't hold up.
@argle-bargle? or fou-ferraw?: What the show producers allow(theft, destruction of personal property, physical violence) is so beyond human decency. It makes me sick that they are making money off these women when they won't even guarantee ther basic safety.
It saddens me to know that when these women watch themselves on teevee after the fact, not a single one of them is embarrassed or ashamed of their behavior.

Can someone tell me the premise behind this show? I've never seen it, and this is the first clip I've seen.
