NEW YORK – July 27, 2011 – Season seven of Oxygen’s fan favorite original series, “Bad Girls Club,” takes on an all new city on August 1 at 9pm ET/PT with a hot new cast and a spicy New Orleans location. How long before these seven feisty ladies begin to pick sides and jockey for position within the house?

In the premiere episode, alliances quickly form among the housemates before they’ve even unpacked their bags. At home with the New Orleans lifestyle, Judi makes it be known that she is Creole and down with Voodoo, which doesn’t exactly win over her roommates.

Who’s the baddest of them all? Fans will finally be able to vote for their favorite Bad Girl in the Bad Girls Club Fan Favorite Poll launching on August 1st. At the end of the season, Oxygen will announce the winner and one girl will be crowned the baddest of them all. Fans should also be on the lookout for the secret word revealed on-air during the premiere. At 9pm, they can go on Oxygen.com to enter a sweepstakes to win a phone call from the Bad Girls Club Season 7 Bad Girl of their choice. Following the episode, fans can get into the action all night with Oxygen’s real-time water cooler—www.OxygenLive.com—to get exclusive feedback from Bad Girl Judi and chat while their favorite shows air live. This season, “Bad Girls” return to OxygenLive.com where fans will be able to interact with the girls on OxygenLive via Twitter (#BigBadEasy) and Facebook.

“Bad Girls Club” brings high-intensity to a new level with a cast of young, bold, outrageous and endlessly entertaining women as they jockey for position as the head girl in charge.
