Meet the 'Bad Girls'

Amy - Palm Bay, FL @Amy_Cieslowski This former cheerleader loves to gossip and keep things fun. From dumping trash on people's beds to messing with their belongings, Amy has no problem seeking revenge on those she feel have wronged her.

She's a no-nonsense chic that isn't afraid to protect herself by any means necessary. A self-proclaimed independent woman, Camilla is no stranger to the spotlight. She has a stern policy against dating a mama's boy and is not looking for a man to ride her coattails. Funny, romantic and driven are the keys to drive this bad girl wild.

Dani - Methuen, MA @IAmDanniV At barely 5 feet tall, people underestimate Dani until they are faced with her sharp tongue.

Dani's friends think her loud, outspoken, abrasive attitude scares guys off, but she is hoping to meet a guy whose part mama's boy and part bad boy. Her potential bachelor better keep her on her toes or she will kick him to the curb.
