LAST TIME: The final episode of season 11 was so unremarkable I couldn't bring myself to watch it, but essentially, new girl Hailey nearly got kicked out by the girls and everyone cried and went home. Now it's time to bring our favorites back and begin the mega-reunion special.

So like the terrible fan that I am, I skipped over the season 11 finale. Up until now, I've watched every episode of Bad Girls Club, including some seasons like 4 and 6 multiple times. I've been a devoted viewer of the show even at its lowest moments. So why couldn't I bring myself to sit through episode 14, "Paradise Lost?"

I'm tired. I'm tired of the constant jumping for no reason, of the ganging up, of the group-think and the plots that go nowhere. I'm tired of the filler and the needless drama. I miss when this show let the drama unfold slowly, when there was more comedy than fist fights, when the producers didn't kick out anyone on a whim and not hold girls who should have been kicked out accountable.

That being said, I am excited for the reunion, as I can't wait for Tanisha Thomas to call some of these girls out.

This year, the three-part reunion special takes place in Los Angeles, and as per usual, they're frisked for weapons before being let in the studio. Due to the editors allegedly making her look bad, our Justin Bieber fan Milyn won't be joining us, but we've still got Janelle and fan favorite Sarah to look forward to.

Jaz and Tiana meet up first at a restaurant, all hugs and excitement. Tiana has moved to Atlanta and Jaz is "trying to get into movies." They discuss their plans to beat up Janelle at the reunion.

Meanwhile, Barbie girl Sarah is super excited to get to L.A., as she considers herself the star of season 11, which isn't totally off. She's greeted by Shanae, who is wearing a hideous long denim skirt and a crop top with Mickey Mouse hands grabbing her boobs. The two Atlanta girls apparently met up through Twitter and ended up becoming party buddies. Shanae reveals she has a girlfriend and they both discuss getting ganged up on in the house.

Steph arrives at what looks like a hotel and meets up with Gigi. Steph expects that Shanae will come at her, while Gigi predicts "Sarah's wack ass" will call her out. They both imitate Janelle and it's kind of funny.

Out on a pool deck, Teresa lounges in her shades as Jaz and Tiana approach her with plenty of hugs, and Gigi and Steph soon join them. Teresa doesn't regret getting kicked out of the house, though she has missed the girls.

Next comes Janelle, who is ready to whip her hair and slap all the girls with it. She meets up with Andrea at a bar, who has weird ketchup red streaks in her hair, and after some scripted exposition in which they pretend to feel awkward around each other in front of the cameras, Janelle tells Andrea she expected her to be there for her when she got jumped. Them Andrea apologizes and they drink before discussing their biggest beefs.

Andrea declares Jaz the main target and tells Janelle everyone will come after her, though she won't let any jumping take place if she can help it.

Benzie meets up with Jaz and Tiana in their hotel room, and predicts Shanae will have a lot to say.

At the bar, Andrea and Janelle meet up with Shanae and Sarah. Shanae decides to be on the same "team" as Janelle even though they never liked each other. Janelle is happy that "Shanae has seen the light." The four of them discuss how fake they thought Steph was and how she couldn't ever pick a side.

So after 20 whopping minutes of exposition, the reunion finally begins...sort of. First we have to watch some behind-the-scenes dressing room drama and extra talking-head footage. We also get to see Tanisha getting her make-up done and acting cute.

We also get to see Hailey show up, and she's anxious to see a few people, including Janelle, whom she had some Twitter beefs with. Gigi and the girls also overhear Sarah expressing her excitement over beating people up and collectively freak out about it.

So finally, finally, finally, after a few more minutes of preview footage, the reunion starts. Tanisha welcomes the remaining girls to the house, Tiana, Jaz, Steph, Gigi, Benzie and Hailey.

As the girls cringe, we review Hailey's sordid journey through the house, which included a very unwelcoming introduction, getting beat up by Jaz for vomiting in the plant and lying about it while plastered.

Tanisha is impressed that Hailey got on the ground and twerked after fighting, and has her demonstrate her skills to the audience. Hailey says she felt from the beginning that everyone was cliqued up and that no one liked her, and Jaz says she learned a lesson from fighting with Hailey for something so silly and while she was "faded."

Tiana also apologizes for her actions and Jaz and Hailey hug it out. Tiana reminds them that jumping is never the answer. She then brings out two girls that couldn't handle the BGC, Andrea and Shanae.

Andrea admits she wasn't expecting the Club to be as intense as it was, and Benzie brings up how she was hurt by Andrea leaving without telling her, as the two had a bond. Andrea says that she couldn't keep up with all of the drama as she just wanted to have fun, and we get a quick montage of her crazy dance moves.

When prompted by Tanisha, Shanae says she wasn't sure what she did to deserve the torment she received over her last few days in the house, and we get a montage recapping everything, including the music video auditions that never amounted to anything, and Jaz accusing Shanae of being a constant Debbie Downer.

We also get to see Steph antagonizing Shanae to fight, which led to the girl being jumped in a pretty big fight. The audience boos.

Steph explains that she liked Shanae originally but got tired of her snappy attitude and fakeness, but admits that she learned from acting like that on television. Tanisha calls Gigi out on jumping, and Tanisha's side-eye is amazing.

Gigi comes out with some excuse about how she wanted to fight Shanae the day before and how she was drunk, and Tanisha yells at her, as I've been anticipating. Shanae says she felt the most hurt by Tiana as the two had a deep conversation five or six hours before the fight.

As Shanae tries to talk to Tiana, Jaz jumps up and joins in the conversation for some reason, and I'm not entirely sure why.

Next it's time for Janelle, one of my favorites! She's hilarious, her face makes for amazing gifs, and tonight she's wearing a super-super-revealing purple dress that shows off nearly all of her breasts and sky-high studded stilettos.

As soon as she starts to take her shoes off, however, Tiana jumps up to try and challenge her, though she's all bark and no bite and sits back down. The audience boos.

Tanisha compliments Janelle's 30-inch weave, and before you know it, Jaz jumps up and punches her after all of 10 seconds. Security break it up and promise Janelle they won't let her get hurt. Tanisha brings out her marshmallow gun (yes, marshmallow gun) and everyone cracks up.

When Jaz steps up to Janelle again, the two fight once more, and we cut to the end of this week's episode.

NEXT WEEK: More fighting, Shanae discusses being jumped, Queen Sarah returns in an absolutely insane outfit, Teresa comes back, etc. I'll be watching so you don't have to, and of course, I'll tell you all about it!
