Episode 6: Won’t Call it a Comeback

 

Yeh, I am soooooo running behind. No time for a recap… hell, read all of the links above to catch up, witcho ( yes, witcho) late ass.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2 #GameOn Bitches

Okay, so I am running a little late. I just rushed in from choir rehearsal where we are rehearsing for How Sweet The Sound. So, Lord….pardon me for anything that pops up out of my mouth in this review.

First off, someone PLEASE pop Kelly dead smack in her clavicle every time she bugs her eyes out to prove a point! I really did send up a prayer between the third vamp at rehearsal that this episode, since it is Kelly centered, didnt suck ass. I am sooooo praying that it is true, because “I cried to the Lord, and the Lord,He heard me…..and saved me from my troubles” lol. All of you sinners not laughing at that need to find the nearest church and hug it until Sunday.

Wait, Malik is back in rehab? Oh yeh… forgot the dramatic scene at the end of last week. I feel like whooping a few people’s asses as well, so do I too suffer from emotional pain?

And I am not working for E! but why in the hell is Melanie wearing this fugly ass Greek Gone Bad dress with this fugly red purse? LMAO!!! Tasha Mack did NOT call him Ocho Uno…lmao! I wonder if Chad is watching. Wait… I know damn well they just didn’t let Kelly run up and through them like that! I wouldn’t care if I was practicing medicine or not… BITCH, Melanie is a DOCTOR! And then she is still married! So even if her and Derwin fall apart… she has something to make millions off of. Insert middle finger and an extended *Hater* here.

Who is the plus sized off beat bitch in the blue? Did she fuck the producer to get in front of the camera to dance that way in front of Fabolous? And… I noticed before how ill-proportioned Kelly was… but this mid drift top just proved it. Wait… is she REALLY dancing on Fabolous!?!!!!!!!! Fabolous didn’t know what to do with it so he just hit it twice…lmao! WOW!!! Jason called her Flat ass! lmao! Damn, did he just say that he ” doesnt mind that the apple falls far from the tree, just as long as it’s not a pathetic tree that knows how to make its ass clap”? LMAO!!! Jason is sooooooo my favorite this season. He is the one who stayed true to himself.

 Can someone please re-draw the eyebrows on this new Brittany? Oh Lawd!!! I cant take any more!

And I am liking “Jenna”. I wonder if she is a mole reporter for real. Or will she replace Meagan Good and date Malik when he leaves out? Hmmmm… I would love that twist.

Yes, down with Time Out… I dont believe in that bullshit. But I disgress. BEAT HER ASS! Lord… can Kelly get hit by a fucking bus!!! The realest that she is is when she is NOT talking….I know that made sense only to those who are just as frustrated as I am… but damn she use to could act. Again…. grammatical usage that only made sense to…oh hell, you know what the hell I meant.

Okay… why does this reunion between T-T & Malik look like something out of an 80s movie?  All we need is ol’ dude holding a boombox beside the truck. Awww…..Malik got Jenna… but that is rehab booty. And then T-T took Allison back? EWWWWWWWWW You are sharing Malik’s jizz!!! Just nasty. I need BOTH of them to step their game up. I guess you can turn a hoe into chicken truck housewife and crack head into a celeb wifey.

YES, JASON!!! LET THE BITCH GO AND REGROUP!! PLEASE!!! I’ll do the Pitts Dance. See, *Dip, & Pitts, & Dip, & Dip, & Diiiiiiiiip & Pitts!*

Next Episode: Ummmmmmm did Malik just pull a Tom Cruise on Mo’Nique’s couch? I swear he almost fell. Will watch just to see that. But really? How long are the episodes apart?  Love? With the Rehab booty? Really? Oh lawd! And did Med School really just smack the shit out of Derwin. Ummmmm Okay. That’s all I have people. I will do better next week. I promise.

Grade: C+ I see them trying, but any Episode where Kelly has more than a head nod and 4 words, it will always suck unless she can go back to her good acting and cut out the fucking bulging eye ball thing she keeps doing. That is all.

Sincerely,

Episode 4: The Game~ Worth Watching?

Episode 5: What Now?

        Okay…. so I am sitting in my office refusing to leave until I can get this recap written up so that I can watch the show in piece. yes, I have to run home and hide all of my personal documentation because my maid comes tomorrow to clean. What? I don’t know that bitch. She can clean but she may steal too. I would hate to have to beat her ass and then call INS. (It’s not racist…I’m part Latina. it’s almost as if I said Nigga and I’m black). So.  Ummm. Oh yeh.

        Last week I was starting to get back into the swing of things. I still need them to pick a few sets to STAY WITH instead of showing us how much money BET is willing to dish out on this show by giving us a tour of local hotspots. The acting is getting better…but it isn’t quite there yet. I’m still hanging in there. I have moved my critique from 4 episodes to one season. that way they can hear all of the critiques that everyone is giving them and try to change them for next season. It is just taking us some getting use to, that is all. I mean, what is there to expect for people who have memorized entire episodes from 3 previous season. So get of my Saber jock strap, will ya!

       I am really looking forward to playing Usher’s “Papers” during the scene where Malik talks to the chick on the steps that looks like Usher’s ex-wife. I really think she may be a snitch to the media and blow Malik’s cover, but I am just speculating. I think Melanie is yelling at Kelly because her acting sucks this season and she should leave. I can’t remember much of anything else… but that just means that I have more to look forward to.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, #GameOn , Bitches!

        Not that you care, but I am sitting on a mound of clean clothes that I have to fold. But…. I was praying that the opening would be a little less predictable. Let’s Stay Together is contagious!!!! Dont turn predictable, please don’t! I will sleep with  Kat Stacks unprotected before I allow The Game to get that bad.

        Speaking of bad…. in walks Kelly. Ummmm do stars actually just walk up in each other’s houses? Because Kelly just ALL the way up into Melanie’s house.  I soooo want her to get hit by the very party bus that she just suggested the Sun Beams use.

        Who is the actress that is playing Jenna? Like I said, she looks like Tameka.  Okay, ummmm this scene with the shrink in the rehab clinic just confused me. And with a mound of laundry i the crack of my ass I am unable to find the patience to even complain about it. In short, it was too simple and not much conflict. I think it would have been better if Malik would have gotten kicked out because now it is just too reckless of him to just walk out.

       ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Terrance J’s ASS IS IN THE AIR!!! Can we please feed this motherfucker and stop making him a sex symbol!!!! I can’t take it. I think I have the flu. Bird Chest Flu!!! Speaking of chests… is this the episode of Titty Free Actresses!!! Okay, yes, I am jealous that my tits are too huge to wear a dress lie that… but sweet Jesus ( not Christ) I think we should have a one breast sighting per episode.

       And Malik taking pills out in the open in a club!!!!!!!!!!! FUDGE NAWL!!!! LMAO!!!! That’s why Malik just got knocked the FUCK OUT!!!!! lmao! Where’s Chris Tucker when you need him? lmao!!!!!!! That was priceless. I still don’t like Malik this damn reckless. There has to be an ounce of humanity in him to make this believable. Damn, Robin Givens jacked him up. hahahahahaha. *Presses rewind on that sucker punch* LMAO! Doesnt get old.

       Why do I have a feeling…damn I couldn’t even type it fast enough. Tasha Mack got caught by Dontae Young.  DAMN! Wait, does this mean that Terrance J wont be on the next episode since he just broke up with Tasha? 

        WOW! Kelly Pitts did get breast implants because last season she was flat chested as a bitch! I told yall… one breast set minimum.

        Wait.. is that the same bathroom that Malik broke in the second episode? Okay, so they found a new club to attend? But at least this is a repeat set!!!LMAO!!! Malik running into the stall is fudging HILARIOUS! Wait… that’s not the same bathroom because they walked towards the camera and not out the door behind them. I am soooo confused with set direction. ARHH!

Snap! That was it…… *SIgh! and now this bullshit!

       My Grade: F-: There were three plots going but they took too long to establish and drug alog too slowly. The conclusion of them all was unbelievable. *Sigh* I can’t even find the strength or the free hand, since the other is picking a laundry wedgie, to complain. I WANT THIS TO GET BETTER!!! I know what it is…. whenever Kelly is in an episode, I hate it! I absolutely hate it! Okay, well let me finish folding and hanging these clothes. smh. I need a new closet. I don’t have space. and I have two more loads in the laundry room. TMI.. I know. Dueces.

Recap Episode 3: Derwin’s Got Some ‘splaing To Do 

Episode 4: The Game~ Worth Watching?

        Okay… usually my intros would be filled with witty banter and clever wordplay that would make a Sylvia Plath read seem joyous. But today… I had stuff to do. lol. I had to live my real life and I just got home from work. So, you’re just gonna have to deal with a tired artistic woman who is doing this because I like to make people like my homegirl from high school, Cristina, laugh and give me her blunt ass feedback the day after. LMAO!!! YEs… this is the best that you may get today.

        So, I really couldn’t remember what happened last week so I am sitting on my plush Ikea bed watching it again. I don’t know how I feel about that. I use to remember everything about this show and now I can’t even remember a week back. WOWZERS! But after watching a few moments of it, I remember that it was slow as hell, yet at the very end I ended up feeling as if I connected with how Malik felt by Derwin’s not being there at the conference. Yes, one redeeming factor. So…..was it worth watching? I guess, erah ummm, let me keep thinking on that.

       I really only saw Tasha Mack complaining that her money was hood rich and that she was proud of it….so I really have no clue what this week is supposed to be about. Oh yeh, Janay doesn’t want her son near the DNA police either. I guess they are working their way back to the multi-plot scheme that we grew to love. While I’m on what we grew to love… predictable ass sets. I think the only repeat sets that have made it from Episode 1 to 4 has been Tasha’s house and  Derwin/Melanie’s livingroom. I need to become familiar with things.Not even the characters are the same as we remember, so please give me a stable set….a foundation of sorts. Its starting to look more like a reality TV show, which doesn’t sit well with many palettes or aesthetics, than a sitcom or drama.  TREAT ME LIKE A BLACK CRACK BABY IN THE HANDS OF MADONNA OR SANDRA BULLOCK!!! SAVE ISAIAH, BITCHES! SAVE HIM!!! Dont make me call Kelsey Grammar! I’ll do it… you know I will. Speaking of white people, where does Kelly live? Hell, where does Jason live? OH LAWD!!! They’re turning this reverse vitiligo having Brittany into ISAIAH!!! Okay… I’ve had enough… ready for the real thing.

Show starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…. #GameOn , Bitches!

*Side eye at the opening scene* Wow! I’m not liking that Melanie is so open about disliking church. Before you didn’t know what she was and Derwin was just so strong about being a Christian. They are making her look like such a hoodlum now. Not sitting well with me. Why is that a part of her character that they have to bring out?

Speaking of bring out….sooooo last we saw Janay she was upset with Derwin and planning to send him to court. So when did she change her mind and let Derwin spend every day over the house while he lies to his wife? Melanie would understand that in order for him to be with his son he has to spend time at Janay’s leisure. All I have to say about this…. REAL BLACK MEN, DONT TRY THIS SHIT AT HOME!!! I swear, you will come home and have to choose between Taraji in I Can Do Bad All By Myself in the bathroom with the radio or Regina in This Christmas with a bottle of baby oil & a belt. Translation, negro don’t do it.

Side Note: Both of those women DID the damn thang!!! You hear me?  I could watch both of those scenes on repeat and never get tired. *Standing O*…okay… back to the regularly scheduled Take 2

Someone watch my back while I sit in these bushes and aim a gun at Kelly Pitts for over acting!!!! And get the car started as I reload to take aim at Tasha Mack. This is too much. There were subtle ways that she could have retaliated at Dontae checking her purse strings….this is a pointless plot. Well, not unless Derwin drops her and she loses her money. And I would have popped her in her face for calling Janay’s attention in the restaurant knowing that I didn’t want to start anything.

Speaking,again, of punching someone in the face….. I OUGHTA KNOCK THE HELL OUT OF MELANIE!!! You don’t let the sideline hoe know that your man is lying to you. I would have mentioned the whole “Thank you for letting DJ go to Disney World with us” thing, but as soon as Janay mentioned she didn’t know anything about it…. I would have kept the rest to myself and handled my business when I got home. I mean, what of  link does Janay’s webcam have where you can view it on the world wide web? More females need to get that kind of access to their men…lmao! Oh lawd…. was Janay about to have a Lady in Blue moment? Damn, the negro apologized….lol.  But I understand….. and then again I don’t. No matter how many times Derwin came to your house, he is still married.

My Grade: B+. This one had more of the multi-plots that we are accustomed to. I could connect on some leve with Janay’s point of view…. however far-fetched to why Derwin had to lie about it. I need Melanie to be stable just a little bit… I don’t know who she is yet. The game has changed her too much. But I guess that is life….and maybe that is why I am fighting it so hard. I want Tasha to relax in herself more and not broadcast, and I want Kelly to get hit by a bus. But… the B+ is because I am enjoying it. It’s not quite Big Mama’s home cooking, but it is Auntie Junie mimicking her recipe and I can respect that…at least its all still in the family.

Next Episode: I cant remember… I am over here laughing in my own right. Is it just me, or does the woman sitting on the steps listening to Malik look JUST LIKE USHER’S BABIES’ MAMA?!!! I mean, it is a rehab clinic… no telling what being broke could have Tameka doing. lmao!!!! RUN MALIK!!! You saw how she sucked the life out of Usher!!! RUN!!!! Okay, these are just jokes. But I want to see why Melanie is going off on Kelly, and what happened to Tasha and Rick Fox that it has taken him 2 years to call her when in last season he was showing up to her house after the wedding. Hmmm… a must watch! I see you trying! Keep it up!

Recap Episode 2: The Game                                                             

Recap Episode 3: Derwin’s Got Some ‘splaing To Do        

         Update: I figured it out! Here I am on Thursday, a full 5 days before Episode 4 is to air, watching The Game. This is the Episode where Melanie wants to go home for Christmas because the Sabers are all about football….and it hits me. I now understand why people are rebelling against the changes.

        I am sitting here watching Melanie and relating to her. Everyone, religion excluded, would like to go home with their families for the holidays. We could connect with Drew Sidora, the character, breaking up a happy home. And even though the world is wrapped around professional football and the lights of fame that many of those watching will never get an inside look at, we somehow managed to relate. They were human in the first 3 seasons. Malik had OCD, Tasha had left by her baby daddy issues, Kelly was trying to please her husband, Jason was controlling, Derwin was getting caught up, and Melanie was oblivious to her world changing before her eyes. We’ve been here before. We liked it here. And this is what we feel is missing from the new season.

        I have yet to look at the new season and say, “EXACTLY!!! I feel you.” or have the slightest urge to tell someone how much this episode connected with me. I, and the other 7.5 Million viewers, are missing from this season of  The Game….so far. I don’t relate to a wife sneaking a DNA test without her husband’s knowledge. I don’t relate to guy’s sleeping with their boss’ wives and best friend’s girls….I know it happens, but I can’t relate to it. We know that Melanie isnt practicing medicine, and Kelly is starting a reality show, but what exactly does Tasha do? This is called The GAME but only once have we seen them in a jersey. I am looking for where I belong in this new season. Like Melanie, I just want to return home like I am accustomed to doing and relate.

Episode 4 begins in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…. #GameOn Bitches!

LMAO!!!! At the tweet “I’m Free, bastards.” I have a friend who may tweet that because he has a Malik Wright complex every Tuesday. Funny if Hosea tweeted that under his real Twitter name. I am really loving this look on Malik/Hosea… really sexy. WOWZERS!!!!! Did she really just bring up Chris Brown crying on TV? HOT DAMN! The Game is going H.A.M!

Umm…. I have to admit that I am going to steal the hat switching act. Though schizophrenic in nature….it is quite hilarious and effective.

So…..mama knows best. Malik should have done damage control. You cannot make me believe that the league will protect you over protecting their investment, and yes…. those are two different things. The real league makes me itch when it comes to how they protect their investments and how the players get away with murder, rape (Rothenburger), and spousal abuse (NAME A PLAYER). And though Malik is the center focus of this particular episode, 15 minutes in and I am thinking that this episode is dragging. Just not getting it.  And this scene with Meagan…..what is her character’s name?…is showing me just how serious this show is getting. It’s no longer a Dramedy. I don’t think that it works as a drama. *sigh*

I am trying not to complain…. let me try to be constructive…. I only have 8 minutes left to do so. *double sigh*

WOWZERS!!!! Derwin didn’t show up?!!! Okay…. I RELATED TO THAT!!! Hot diggidy damn! I related to something. I related to needing someone to be there, them saying so and not being there. My heart sank at the sight of the empty chair. WOW! THIS is what I wanted to feel. This is what I wanted from Season 4 of The Game. I RELATED TO MALIK!!!! Hallelujah! My prayers have been answered. *sigh of relief*.

My Grade for this Episode: C+ . I still think that it took too long to get the information out. The scenes were dragging and it was too damn dramatic. I think that the use of a linear plot also slowed the story down. In previous seasons multiple plots were going at once and that was believable and kept the speed of the show going.

Next Episode: Okay…. I see Janay is still holding a grudge…. but this contradicts with what Tasha told him in this episode. Didnt she tell Derwin to go home to DJ when she had her mother hat on? Or has he not had visitations around Melanie? I am so confused. And Terrance J is back? Okay…. *sigh* I’ll watch it.

The Game: Derwin’s Got Sum ‘splaining to Do~Ep3

Need a recap? Or need Russ Parr Morning Show to pay your cable bill? Okay, here ya go, Check out my blogs on the first two episodes here:

Episode 1:  Don’t Call it a Comeback <~Click Here

Episode 2:  The Game~ Episode 2 <~Click Here

So, I saw the previews for tonight’s episode last week and almost dislocated my knee to reach the remote to rewind. I must admit, I am in therapy for having watched it 20 times. Yes… I am a tad bit obsessive compulsive. DON”T JUDGE ME!!! I did it for you. Who else is gonna keep it real with your ass? But I digress. Okay. The marketing team did a great job of chopping up scenes that my God Gut ( that’s what Ma Dear use to call it) was telling me didn’t go together. So, with my Pandora station playing in my ear…. let me speculate on tonight’s episode.

So, First off…. why is this girl in their house? Who is this girl you wonder? Well… that is what I am for. After renewing my Black Woman Intuition and activating my Go-Go Gotcha Bitch, I have discovered…and this is just a speculation… that the mystery woman in the previews is none other than JAZZ! All of my The Game fans know exactly who Jazz is. I think her ghetto name is Jazzamena something WhoGivesAFuck, but she was the girl at the table with Javon (Bumper Robinson..I think that’s his name) during Melanie & Derwin’s engagement dinner at Malik’s house. Yeh…THAT BITCH! The one that everyone on the team has slept with. So, supposedly Javon proposed to her… soooooo what is she doing in Melanie and Derwin’s house? Yes… can’t you tell I’m ready to fight the trick off of GP? I know she is a character.. DIDNT I TELL YOU I WAS IN THERAPY?! So… This is why I entitled this blog Derwin’s Got Sum ‘splainng to Do.  I can’t wait!

Okay…side note: I left home this morning and forgot to set my DVR, so I drove home, set it, and went to a performance and will still try to make it back to watch it in real-time. BEcause if ‘AIN bitch on TWITTER spoils this for me…. I….wooo saaaahhh. I told you I was in therapy!

(Made it in the house with 5 mins to spare, stripped, changed in to comfy clothes & managed to get Chipotle on my way home. Your girl is BAAAAAD!)

The show will start in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, #GameOn , Bitches!

FINALLY!!!!! Malik and his mama speak!!! It took 3 episodes. That is some straight mess! So, it took him 2 years of this black hole for him and his mama to cut the umbilical cord? He doesn’t even listen to his mama the way that he use to. THAT’S NOT RIGHT!!! Why do I have a feeling that I’m going to yell a lot during this episode?

YES!!! I called it!! That is JAZZ!!! I’m a true The Game fan. Top that bitches!!!!! But really, why is she okay with her husband calling out the stats of anther flunkie? There is NOT that much self-esteem in the world. I know for a fact that God kept that kid of hubris for himself. For the slow folks…. google hubris! Ummm… who is this Rick Ross , Larry Hoover, Big Meech, MC Hammer looking motherfucker? His beard reminded me to schedule my bikini wax….damn! Please do NOT tell me that this look is coming in style. I’ll watch a marathon of Let’s Stay Together before I allow black men  to start doing this! Dont make me do it!

Hooooooooooooooooooooold the fuck up! Did Melanie take over as Sun Beam president. LMAO!!!

Ummm T-T…..Not dyslexic chimps! Okay…wait… T-T’s name is Terrance? It took us four years to find out what his name is. Okay… Malik and T-T just need to kiss and make up.  And this bug-eyed bitch that is Malik’s assistant is scaring me. MAKE HER BLINK!!!, LAWD , PLEASE MAKE HER BLINK!!!

P.S> I love the slight plug of the iPad Touch.  The Game must be PAID!!!!

Okay, that brains joke.. DEAD! Like Men on FIlm… “Hated It!” I see where you TRIED to go with that, but it was a no go. Maybe the pick up was too slow. Comedy has to come faster than a virgin in the grasp of Super Head. What? I know yall saw the video with Mr. Marcus…. I just heard about it. I mean really… isn’t this another scene that they are trying to catch us up on? I mean, hasn’t Jazz been a player’s wife for 2 years? WAIT! Did this bitch just call Derwin “baby”? LMAO!!! NOW THAT SCENE ON THE STEPPING STOOL WAS COMEDY!!!

Wait… is that a NUDE swim suit or is this Uncut? I’m is so confused-ed and wanting to go to the gym. Hell.. even I know that this bitch aint doing her job! LMAO!!! “Don’t think I didn’t notice that you only clapped your ass 3 times”

Oh lawd! I’m calling child protective services!! Just for Javon’s lil boy to even be in the same scene. Speaking of child protective services.  I SWEAR JAZZ LOOKS LIKE NICKI MINAJ! I was trying to put a finger on why I was itching! True shit… I have broken out into hives. I APPLAUD THE CASTING DIRECTOR! She was one pink weave track , a facial expression stolen from a seizure patient and a turrets induced vocal inflection away from being Barbie, Bitch. So….I agree with Melanie’s reason for being upset about Jazz trying to be a role model. And Tasha made a good point. Is the coochie the only way a woman can make it in Hollywood? WOW!!!!

Melanie shaking her butt. Ummm ( I love you Tia)…..but erah ummmm. HELL NAWL!

HELL NO! Rodney King, get the fuck back in the car Malik. Wait… that’s it?! Lawd…. can we still some time from Let’s Stay together and make it an hour show?

Ummm… where is the preview for next week’s episode? The marketing team is playing with my damn emotions! Oh wait… there it is. I cant remember what is supposed to happen next week.  Okay… it doesn’t matter. I will be watching. The only thing that I ask for next season… don’t wrap things up so swiftly. You are solving problems that was big enough to remain for 2 years in one episode.  I still have your back. Thanks for being back.

My over all grade of this episode: C+. Something that use to be there isnt there any more and I just cant put my finger on it.  It is slowly coming back…..and I mean slooooowly. I have faith that you will get it back. I just think that there is too much going on. The sets arent the same, the relationships arent the same…its just too much to swallow all at once. I know we are complaining, but you know how black folks do when it comes to new shit. We’ll never like it off the bat. But….. next season better be better. Now, touch the screen and agree!!!

Sincerely,

The Game:Episode 2

They’re baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! So, if you were under a rock and need someone to fill you in on what happened on the long-awaited comeback of The Game, here is what happened:

Recap: We pick up with the gang after a two-year gap, and what a gap it is. Derwin is now married to Melanie ( Dr. Melanie, although she is not practicing medicine) and father to DJ (Janay’s son). Melanie gives DJ a paternity test, tells Derwin he’s not the father, later to find out it was a mistake and he is indeed the father. Melanie has already told Derwin he is not but doesn’t correct the mistake. Malik is being a super ass and jealous of Derwin being the face of the Sabers and Nike, while sleeping with the wife of the Saber’s owner and T-T’s girl. T-T is no longer his assistant and actually has an opinion these days. Speaking of opinionated, Tasha is no longer with Rick Fox (WTF), and is now freaking down Terrance J of 106 & Park ( EWWWWW I saw him half-naked *threw up a lil in my mouth* I can take him seriously as long as he keeps his clothes on). While Tasha is busy gettin her groove back, judging Melanie, and dodging another ass whooping by Kelly, Kelly is busy with her reality TV show. Kelly is busy over acting and becoming a caricature that is driving me up the wall. Jason Pitts is the only one who seems to still be himself, and I love that. He takes back the power from Kelly at the end of the episode by interfering with Kelly’s reality show.And somewhere along the line their daughter Brit Brat got swapped  So, yes, it did take an hour for all of this to occur and I had mix feelings about it. Check out my blog : The Game: Don’t Call It A Comeback Pt2.

Now, that we have caught up… tonight I think we are all in for a surprise. We have already proven that what we were expecting is not going to happen, so they can either give us what we are used to or not, either way we will definitely be surprised. Show starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, GAME ON, BITCHES!!!!

I simply love how Tasha Mack has opened both episodes, but if there is one more episode of Tasha Mack being afraid of Kelly Pits…. I’m boycotting the show. That aint Tasha Mack!!!! She may talk shit but she definitely wont run from shit! Dont make me remind you all who Tasha Mack is!!! Dont make me go to my trunk! I haven’t heard a ‘nan “pow pow”. Okay, it just started…. I’m going to be quiet until the end and try not to give my review during the show. (No promises, may write during commercials).

I SPOKE TOO SOON!!! SHE THREATENED TO SHOOT HER!!! THE GODS HEARD MY CRY!!!! Wait… did they just strip?!  Or am I watching BET Uncut with Tasha’s ashy titties? I’m sorry… black people don’t strip like this without money in the immediate surroundings. But…. whatever will make the scene work. I think that they got back too quickly after being mad at each other for two years. I’m so lost! Lord I am so lost! The acting is almost back to normal….but the jury is still out.

Wait #2! Did Melanie just blurt out about the paternity test’s true results only because Janay was on the other side of the door. Like I said, if I were a writer, I would have told Derwin to get a second opinion because it could be due to human error. It would also cover up the fact that the friend messed up. But who am I but a fan who wants this to survive its resurrection? I also don’t think that Jason would have spoken so poorly of Derwin and Malik. What was the point….did they stop being friends in two years? I’m so lost! See THESE are the things that we need to be caught up on instead of all this BS that is 2 years too late.

Wait #3!!! Is Jason remixing the Dip & Pitts? LMAO!!!!!!!!! Funny thing is… can I get a copy of those leftover CDs? I really want to be among the first to pop out with the Dip & Pitts in the club. True shit! Dip & Pitts, and Pitts and Pitts and Pitts. I wonder who can I petition to get a copy of that song… I am soooo not playing, I want it. And where did Mr. Half & Half get rhythm from?

Okay, so… the Old Malik showed up and somewhat saved the say. it was good to see him show up and finally speak a glimpse of common sense. This is the Malik that I missed in the first episode. And while I am thinking it, why are Tasha Mack and Malik not talking to each other so far this season? I mean… not even in the club scene last episode did they speak and they were inches away.

The ending with Derwin forgiving Melanie…. I buy it. Unexpected and yet I am happy that it took som edge off this high drama that we are not used to…. HOLD UP!!!!! Aka WAIT#4, the sneak peek for next week. WHO IS THIS BITCH WITH HER BOOTY IN DERWIN’S FACE!!!!? BEAT HER DOWN MELANIE! Okay, the marketing team can stay employed……yall have me hooked and anxious for next week. Okay….I’m still a fan.

P.S. They’re on Mo’Nique’s show tonight too. And I’m watching while I should be in bed…. but anything for the cast of The Game. My only question is… was Brittany Daniel (Kelly Pitts) not invited because she’s white? Just kidding. They just said its because her nephew was being baptised. See….. I was concerned. Okay, but why is Coby on here like its a family reunion? I love Wendy’s dress!!! Work it! Funny How Pooch even says “That’s what’s up” outside of the show. lol. Wait….. they film in ATL? I’m moving back home!!!!! And yes… Hosea Chanchez is from ALABAMA LIKE ME!!! ALABAMA STAND UP! We’re a talented bunch. DAMN!! The Kontrol cover of Pooch! I have no clue what that magazine is for but I need a copy! Okay… I will stop drooling now. I will leave this for you all to enjoy.

The Game: Don’t Call it a Comeback Pt2

       

        “Game on, Bitches!” rang from my television like the opening to the Hood Olympics and all I could think was, “SHE’S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!” BET had answered my question, Tasha Mack would be allowed to keep her bitches and hoes! Yes, first fear averted! I had others, old ones, new ones, suspicions, and plain out disbelief. But at least The Game was back!

        The opening was like a whirl wind of musical characters as you tried to pin reality on the nearest scenario. If it weren’t for me seeing Russ Parr’s 35 & Ticking, I wouldn’t have known that was Meagan Good slapping the shit out of Malik in the opening. I love that haircut on her by the way, but I’ll come back to her. It was so much to take in, it was as if I didn’t know where to start. It was almost as if I were watching Why Did I Get Married Too where I think they crammed too much into the intro to get us all to play catch up after two years. I was being force-fed these people who I knew and sat there looking at them as if they were strangers. I get it, it is my fault for believing that the show would pick up from the last episode that I watched the last weekend in the marathon. And yes, the actors haven’t been around one another in these roles in two years. And yes, the cinematic quality wasnt the same and threw me off too. And FUCK yeh, the change in scenery and set design was like I’d been kidnapped and placed in a new foster home. So okay, I get it. They were setting up the season….but what a way to do it.

        Melanie Barnett-Davis: The hair grew back in and the clothes were a little more flashy than we’ve become accustomed to for her. I get it, she is more mature, the wife of a star athlete, and in high demand. Yet, there was a girl next door quality that use to ring from Melanie that I think left in this first episode.  The old Med School came from money but she wasnt money and I feel like, in just two years, she has gotten so caught up in this world of fame that we can hardly recognize her.  Also, I understand that you want to make your marriage work, but boo…..WHY THE HELL DID YOU GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL JUST TO WIND UP NOT PRACTICING MEDICINE!!! My inner Dione?Tasha mix wanted to jump off of my Ikea bed and smack the living Mrs. Davis out of her. It was all so reminiscent of Ludacris’ girlfriend. There is ALWAYS a way to make things work without having to sacrifice a huge part of who you are. DERWIN messed up. DERWIN didnt sacrifice his life, why the FUNKY MONKEY should Melanie have to give up her dream to, yet again, accommodate to a man who wants it to be all about him?! Yes, I am furious about this change. He messed up, so if her wanted her back… he should have taken her back just the way that she was. I’ll never get over this part. Also, the whole DNA mouth swab segment, that freaked me out in so many ways. Remind me to NEVER leave my kid alone (if I ever have any) with my baby’s daddy’s wife. WHO DOES THAT?! Creepy!!! And it took her two years to have the opportunity to do it?  WOW! Speaking of WOW! Please tell BET’s wardrobe department to NEVER put an all white outfit on ANYONE…because I could see all Melanie’s goodies! I can’t wait to see how this unfolds. If I were Mel, I would tell him to get tested again and get a second opinion because those things can be wrong…something to cover up the fact that the news was inaccurate. ARGH!!! Okay, the show has already sucked me in.

        Derwin Davis: I really didn’t see that much of him, but it did creep me out that he was talking to his kid about women the way that he was. CREEPY!!!  It was so melodramatic. I didn’t know how to take it. Where is the light-hearted Derwin. I know the situation called for drama.. but I wasnt fully buying it. Also, Melanie told him it wasnt his before he left, so why would he need to come home and ask her again? I was so lost by that. Also, what did Melanie take of Derwin’s to match with DJ’s DNA? They didn’t show that and I wasnt willing to hand over that much suspense of disbelief. I’m still pissed that Mel gave up her career so…NEXT

        Tasha Mack: WTF!!! What in the hell happened to Rick Fox. Weren’t they all in love in the last episode? Okay, his contract may not have been renewed…but REALLY!!!! Terrance J? I need to be warned when that much bird chest is going to be thrown in my direction. Have you ever heard of the bird flu?!!!! I will never be able to watch 106 & Park ever again. I mean, his acting was good…but it was still Terrance J trying to be someone else. They didn’t ooze him in good enough. We saw all of Tasha’s other relationships develop and I feel that they forced this one on us.  And when the fuck did Tasha start smoking? She was holding that Black and Mild all weird. it just didn’t seem right. Also, since WHEN has Tasha been afraid of anyone? Especially Kelly?!!!! I don’t care if she hit you in front of your mama…the old Tasha Mack would have gone after her harder and swifter. Tasha Mack isn’t afraid of anything but love…so I’m NOT buying it. I also…and maybe I cant remember it, I didn’t see Tasha interact with Malik once in the entire show. So how is that relationship fairing out? I’m so confused. Also, I know damn well Tasha Mack wasnt intimidated by Heree. Yes, He-Ree and her acting debut. TAKE YOUR ASS BACK TO ATLANTA AND STAY OFF MY SHOW!

        Malik El DeBarge Wright: Ummmm… I think he lost some of his human side. He’s always been an ass, but not this much and not on purpose.  His whole situation with Meagan & Allison… Malik would do stuff like this with random chicks, but NOT with anyone he knew. I dont know if I like this change. I wanted to punch him for what he did to TT. Meagan, she did the damn thang! I applaud her addition to the show. Not the best woman for Malik, but the best woman to play this role. I support her. Now if I could just remember her character’s name…..

        Kelly Pitts: WTF!? She was bugging me the entire time. It was so over the top and false. And I get what she was trying to portray but it came across as Acting 101 scene workshopping. I get it… new personality with being single, but where is the core of who Kelly is? I think she bypassed independence and went to the other end of the spectrum with dependency. I’m giving her four episodes to get her acting together before I dismiss her. COme on Brittany…. bring it back to the core of how well I KNOW you can do. And trust me, we’ve seen better.

        Jason Pitts: I think they crammed 3 seasons of his arrogance into one episode and it was a tough pill to swallow. it wasnt subtle. It didn’t sneak up on you. The one thing I did like was when he took over the show. THAT was a traditional Jason Pitts move. THAT was believable and I was with it. He can stay.

        Brittany Pitts: WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GIRL?! I’m all for dark-skinned people being employed, but where is my original Brit Brat? This child is darker than both of them. I guess Tasha’s skin darkening theory is correct, b/c if a mixed baby can darken after 2 years into puberty then DJ has some years to go to get darker…lol. BRING THE OLD BRITTANY BACK! I don’t care how you do it. Just bring her back.

          There were a ton of things that I didn’t know how I felt about, some good and some bad. Like, I don’t know yet how I feel about TT actually having an opinion. Him standing up to Malik came out of left field like a roaming eye. What went down between them BEFORE Allison that made him no longer want to be his assistant? Also, where the Sabers bought again or was this the same owner from the last season and we just never saw him? Did Tasha reopen Tasha Mack Management or is she with another agency? ARGH!!!! My brain hurts!

         Okay, my overall grade for the comeback….. B. Now, part of that grade is because I have never witnessed a show returning after being canceled so I have no clue what to expect and I may have expected the EXACT same show to return and it didn’t. If they had don’t a collage of them packing up one house and moving into another that would have prepared me for the set change. If they had spent more time in this episode catching us up rather than throwing us into their current lives it wouldn’t have been such a jolt. And if it didn’t feel like such a soap opera I would have given it a higher grade. I felt like they put everyone’s problems into one episode. Out of 7 people, they should have picked 2 to showcase this episode and 3 the next and we could have built from there. But since I dont live in a world of “IFs” I had to grade it on what it gave me and that was a B. I have faith that it will get better. We just have to get re-associated with the cast as they get back into the chemistry and dynamic that they built the first three seasons. Because these characters were so left field. But….I have faith ( I’m going to keep repeating this). I have faith. I’m glad its back and this first episode was just a bump in the road. The rest of the episodes will be what we’re use to. We’re all treading into new territory……let’s continue to support.
