The sixth season of Bad Girls Club is titled Bad Girls Club: Hollywood and premiered on January 10, 2011, on Oxygen. [1] Season 6 was nominated for "Favorite Reality-Show Guilty Pleasure" for the second annual IVillageawards. [2] [3]
Unlike previous seasons where a half-a-year break in production occurred between seasons, casting for the sixth season began simultaneously during production of the Miami season and was filmed several months thereafter, coinciding with the airing of season five. One-on-one interviews with Bunim/Murray Productions were an option from eligible applicants, who needed to include their email, full name, phone number, and a brief biography telling the casting productions what makes them a "bad girl". Applicants were also told to include two recent photos of themselves before submissions, or otherwise the application wouldn't be accepted. The minimum age to apply was 21. Bunim/Murray Productions were also recruiting on Facebook and MySpace, along with a five-minute casting tape to Bunim-Murray Productions. Production for season six began in October 2010 in Sherman Oaks, California, and debuted with 1.71 million viewers, up from 25% from last season which earned 1.34 million viewers.
During production of season six, residents from Sherman Oaks complained that noise levels and swearing was extremely unbearable and inappropriate for them and their children to listen to during the night. [4] Residents from Ocean Beach called local enforcements four to five times to defused the corruptions, the girls were showcasing, in the middle of the night. [4] A local Ocean Beach resident complained that she has a six-year-old son and didn't want him to listen to the swearing, she went as far as creating a petition drive to ban all production companies in the Ocean Beach hills. [4] Location managers and production crew declined to discuss the neighbors complaints. [4] The Bad Girls Club permit announced that the entire production was to abide the "minimum outdoor activity noise" rule, whereas, neighbors state otherwise that the show did not keep noise levels at a low range.

During filming, the cast resided at 14888 Round Valley Drive in Sherman Oaks, California. The 8,000 sqft "Hollywood themed" home, previously owned by actress Jane Russell, included 8 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and featured a long gated driveway met with a bachelor-pad style exterior with double country western doors. Pigmented on the foyer's twenty-four foot wall read The Bad Girls Club Creed, (which was the largest creed of the series thus far) as well as reviews of the series from publications such as TV Guide, Los Angeles Times , and Salt Lake City Weekly . The cast photos, which were digital monitors, lined the staircase wall across from the computer area. The dining room was dual purposed as the "hot tub room" while the living room was substituted as the game room, featuring a bar, beer pong table, an Olhausen pool table, and an adult claw machine. Also in the game room were entrances to the gym and purple themed phone room containing black and white photos of Los Angeles and Melrose Avenue. The master bedroom was converted into the girls' makeup room, where they shared the master closet. The backyard included a swimming pool and cabana.
The tour of season six's mansion was released for public viewing on December 15, 2010 Oxygen's website, and was hosted by production designer Steve Leonhardt several days prior to the arrival of the cast of season six, in September 2010.
The season began with seven original bad girls, of which two left voluntarily and one was removed by production. Three replacement bad girls were introduced in their absences later in the season.
