This past season of "Bad Girls Club" featured a series first, identical twins Dani and Gabi Victor, who created quite a stir in the Las Vegas house with outrageous behavior like strewing condiments all over another Bad Girl's mattress. Along with party girl Amy and tough-as-nails Erica, this season of "Bad Girls Club" may have been the craziest yet. Tanisha Thomas, star of Oxygen's upcoming "Tanisha Gets Married" and former Bad Girl, takes the reins as host of a heated "Bad Girls Club" season eight two-part reunion special. Part two of the special airs next Monday, May 7 at 10PM ET/PT, followed by the series premiere of "Tanisha Gets Married" at 11PM ET/PT.
