Oxygen meddles with love once again with the season three return of the dating competition series "Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too," featuring former "Bad Girls" - Judi (season seven), Kori (season six) and Sydney (season six) -- as they compete and search for love from a pool of 13 eligible suitors who can put up with their outrageous ways. "Celebrity Fit Club" and "Bad Girl" fan favorite Tanisha Thomas (season two) hosts the series, which premieres on Monday, December 5 at 10PM ET/PT.

Each week Judi, Kori and Sydney go on dates to try to get to know the bachelors while also competing for the title of "HBIC" - Head Bad Girl In Charge. Will the HBIC try to eliminate the other Bad Girls' favorite guys to break their hearts? Or do they have a stake in keeping the same man in the game? Ultimately, hearts will be broken and someone is going home...

Meet the lovelorn ladies:

Judi - Olympia Fields, IL

As an only child, Judi is used to being the center of attention and expects to be treated that way. An aspiring radio and TV personality, Judi is a college girl by day and a party girl by night - hitting the clubs with a vengeance. Having made waves in the season seven house, she is excited to join "Love Games" and see what these bachelors have to offer.

Kori - Phoenix, AZ

A spoiled blonde bombshell, Kori has no problem being the mean girl and has no time for people who make her life difficult. She has appearances in Playboy under her belt and the only thing that makes her happy is money - and daddy paying the bills.

Sydney - Dallas, TX

Not your average glam gal, this alternative pin-up is extremely spontaneous and falls quickly for guys. Sydney loves to party every night and lives life without consequence. She is extremely loyal and will step in to fight friends' battles when needed.

Meet the Bachelors:

Dusty, 23 - La Crosse, WI

Born and raised in a small farming town in Wisconsin, Dusty knew farming wasn't for him from the start. A lover of sports and speed, Dusty spends most of his time riding sport bikes and snowmobiling. A lover of bad girls, any girl worth considering has to be able to handle a ride on his motorcycle.

Nick F., 24 - Baltimore, MD

A Baltimore-bred smooth talker, Nick has lived his life by the motto, "Work hard, play hard." Whether it's time in the gym or clubbing in the city, Nick chooses to make experiences memorable and life worth living. He recently served as a Department of State Security Officer where he protected foreign dignitaries and the Secretary of State. After some recent success as a model, he is now pursuing that career full time.

Robby, 25 - Chicago, IL

A self-proclaimed nerd at heart, Robby is a successful Abercrombie and Fitch model. Having lived in the fast lane, Robby has started looking ahead and wants to find a woman to make an honest man out of him.

Michael, 24 - Bloomington, IN

Raised in Crown Point, IN, Michael was always difficult for his "Nana" to control. While growing up, he dabbled in every aggressive sport worth getting injured in. Now, a recent college grad with a degree in management, Michael hopes to own his own business.

Matthew, 23 - Atlanta, GA

After a close brush with death, Matthew lives every moment like it's his last. Having studied psychology at Morehouse College, Matthew is also a skilled hip-hop and jazz dancer, and aspiring actor having appeared in Stomp The Yard 2. Despite being a ladies' man, he would ultimately love to have a relationship like his parents.

Jordan, 21 - Miami, FL

A personal trainer, Jon believes he was put on this earth to please women. As a skilled linguist & Hip-Hop MC, "Freaky Jon P" has learned to seduce women with his tongue.

John, 23 - Atlanta, GA

As a young, college educated entrepreneur loaded with ambition and confidence, John is in his prime with the ladies and his over-the-top lifestyle impresses them with ease. Known in the Atlanta nightlife scene, his flashy reputation makes it easy to seduce even the most attractive and hard-to-get women. His only weakness, a pretty face on a gorgeous body.

Joey, 23 - Gainesville, FL

A recent college grad, Joey has his sights set on becoming a divorce lawyer. In the meantime, however, he has worked hard to become a legend in his fraternity. He wants to win over a Bad Girl because in his mind, there's no other kind of woman...unless you're his mother.

Chris, 21 - San Diego, CA

A college wrestler, training in the sport of MMA, Chris has the ego of a heavyweight champion with an unrelenting approach to the ladies. What he lacks in size he makes up for in confidence. He's ready to use his chameleon-like qualities to land himself a Bad Girl.

Pasquale, 24 - New Rochelle, NY

Italian through and through, Pasquale considers his grandmother, "Ma," to be his number one girl. With a degree in psychology and one Master's in elementary education, he is currently pursuing a second Masters degree in special education. A smooth talker, he has no problem competing for a woman's attention.

Nick H., 25 - Kailua, Hawaii

With his good looks and charm, one would assume everything in life has come easily to Nick but, in fact, it has not been an easy road for him at all. Being a child from a difficult home and diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age two, he was forced to overcome great adversity to achieve academic and athletic success. An aspiring financial planner, Nick loves Bad Girls.
