A spin-off of "Bad Girls Club," the dating competition series "Love Games" features former Bad Girls vying for the man of their dreams. The ladies bring their feisty ways back to the airwaves in search of love from a pool of eligible suitors. Each week, the Bad Girls have the group of bachelors competing for their attention in a series of challenges and entertaining group dates. The men that don't catch their eye and win their hearts are eliminated. "Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too" is produced by Bunim-Murray Productions with Jonathan Murray and Gil Goldschein serving as executive producers.
