The Game Season 5 Episode 3 - No Money Mo Problems

Rick Ross look a like is back cooking Malik breakfast.

Tasha enters nagging about the mansion looking a mess.

Tasha tries to talk Malik into throwing a football around at a Jewish Rights of Passage because I can’t spell Bar Mitzskhehiohfdkah

Derwin gets endorsed by Verzion and begins jumping up and down on the bed like a four year old with his shoes on and Melanie doesn’t notice because she’s too busy trying to figure out why Irv is managing him again.

She brings up the “Truth Thing” and likens her lies to his new management news.

“Winning” Clearly the writers didn’t get the memo that the whole Charlie Sheen

phase is old because Derwin say’s he’s “charlie sheen-ing it”

He appoints Melanie as CEO of the Family with an emphasis on Family.

Melanie wants to be Derwin’s manager and decides to not give him any cookies if he doesn’t let her have a bigger say in his career.

He let’s her “become the boss” of Irv

BOOM! The house is a mess because Malik can’t afford to pay his cleaning people.

His financial advisor reminds him that out of the 80 Million dollar contract he only gets 40 million and conveniently he builds a 40 million dollar home. See, athletes can be broke too.

His advisor (who looks like the husband of that red head lady from Sex And The City_ proposes $25,000 a month budget. Malik goes crazy because that’s clearly not enough money. He has to get his cars taken away.

Walks like a pig, smells like a pig. Irv walks in with a meeting with Melanie who gets all snazzy and ready to fulfill her CEO role. Irv, of course is well, Irv. He does everything short of literally coughing up a lung to distract her and treat her like a field nig...

When she brings up Jimmy Falon, he’s all ears. He books Derwin for Letterman.

Tasha wants to sue Irv and Derwin since she started the Verizon deal.

Malik’s cars get repossessed.

Yup that’s the husband of that red head lady from Sex And The City. He’s still short.

It’s Tee Tee’s birthday. Malik fronts like he’s throwing him an expensive bash.

Melanie is my girl but this stressful marriage is making her gain weight...(Tia clearly hasn’t lost the baby weight yet)

Melanie barges in on Tasha’s and Irv’s meeting with their lawyers.

Tasha is prepared with call log and transcripts proving she landed the Verizon deal.

Melanie is frazzled and is embarrassing herself.

Tasha wins her 10%

Are all legal battles wrapped up in 2 minutes.

Who is this Rick Ross looking man? Is that his security guard cause his beard is getting out of control.

We are at Tee Tee’s birthday party and Malik’s version of being frugal is not getting the $900 bottle service.

There are sooo many rules to Baller’s Etiquette: he who has the most gold pays the bill. He who has the most gold in his hometown pays the bill.

Derwin reveals to Mel that Irv was entertaining her.

She’s not cool with just being “his wife.”

Derwin says, “Why can’t you just sit back and let me take care of you.”

She brings up quitting being a doctor. He brings up that she doesn’t catch the ball so she can’t take responsibility for the legacy.

Later that night they are in that same dirty bed and Melanie is upset.

He admits that “he loves her past the moon” wherever that place is.

Aww I feel sorry for Malik. Tasha comes to save the day and pays the bill for the lavish party that Malik stayed behind for.

The Game Season 5, Episode 1

2012-01-11T00:55:00.001-06:00

Abortion and Almost Dead Bodies.

The episode starts with a Boyz II Men-ish soundtrack revealing Mel claiming she had a abortion. There’s a dead model in Malik’s driveway. Jason is married.

Flashback

Melanie’s talking to herself and there is clearly someone pushing the “laugh now studio audience sound effect.” as she meets the doctor she had an affair with last season.

There is an awkward run in with Derwin and the doc.

The doctor is a jerk.

Jason has a random chick in his bed.

And they are having a conversation that I don’t particularly care about. All I hear is “press conference blah blah blah.” All I know if her outfit is terrible.

Great way to meet the parents. Remember Malik’s model chick that he fell in love with? Well she overdosed on something and Malik dramatically carries her into the house as Tasha meets them at the front door.

Commercial Break

Derwin brings up that he knows about the abortion Melanie had their freshmen year in college. He tells her he understands along with some more mushy stuff. Melanie looks fishy.

Malik is trying to nurse this gorgeous model back to health and Tasha witnesses him trying his best. His best includes ordering a four piece and a biscuit. Because models eat.

Tasha regrets dropping Derwin as a client and she pick back up Malik as a client.

Now enter Brandy. The singer/actress not the drink. What’s funnier and ironicier (because of those are both words) is that her character’s name is Chardonnay.

Jason comes into a bar where Chardonnay on the rocks is working behind the bar. He’s rude.

Derwin and Melanie run into another ex-lover. Trey Wiggs

Rick Ross looking dude is taking me out. I can’t.

The “pop and snap” lady from Legally Blonde has a cameo and she’s threatening to kill Model chick because she owes her a billion dollars.

Oh Brit Brat. Jason catches Brit Brat kissing some white dude outdoors. Get this, they don’t get into an argument about getting caught kissing, they argue about him being white.

Tasha tries to talk sense into Malik and uses a great egg/omelette analogy. She told him that she has all her eggs in one basket and he need to make some omelette. Is that or is that not Tasha-ish?

Enter the wise Tee-Tee who's eye is looking less and less cock-eyed. He tells her that she needs to do what best for her instead of babying Malik.

By the way they have this convo in the backwoods of their house because model girl ran away

Derwin is taking a dump in the bathroom and him and Mel are having a convo.

BOOM

Melanie admits that the Abortion happened when she slept with Trey Wiggs

Melanie brings up Drew Sidora for the 1000th time.

Melanie is her typical crazy self and she expects Derwin to get over the fact that she had an abortion and after her tear-jerking monologue cue the auto tuned vocals and Derwin walks out.

Malik is trying to perform some type of CPR I've never seen before. Model chick wakes up and Malik carries her inside. She doesn’t have on any clothes by the way.

Brandy got fired for getting into an argument with Jason. He asks her out on a date and next thing we know he wakes up in Mexico hence holding beer bottles because he doesn't know who is on the other side of the door. It's Brandy with a ring on her finger.

Brandy explains how they traveled across the boarder for 69cent tacos. They got drunk and they got married.

Melanie wakes up alone.

Legally blonde lady stayed the night.

Tasha gives white lady the black card so she can leave.

Jason and Brandy get into the black issue about how he hates his own race. He reveals his deep dark secret about how a black girl from his childhood called him white and he was "traumatized". Then once he got in the league the black girls came flocking. I think he likes her.

Mel is decorating for Derwin's son bday. Where's Janea?

Over icing cupcakes, the talk about the abortion. Trey doesn't know about the unborn child.

Malik decides to take model chick back to rehab.

Cue melodramatic music.

It's DJ's bday party and Tasha didn't come. Janae is there and Mel is feeling left out. Derwin forgives Mel for lying because he doesn't think he could live with raising a baby that wasn't his own.

Trey shows up to the party. And Derwin knocks him out in driveway.

That’s how it ends folks. See ya next week.

BET's The Game Season Finale

2011-03-29T21:40:00.011-05:00

Melanie gazes in the mirror twirling hair as birds actually chirp in the background.

Melanie believes she’s overheating her ovaries because she stands in front of the microwave. (I don’t even have to recap a sarcastic statement to sum that up. It’s a ridiculously ridiculous statement all by itself)

Derwin is having a biz meeting with Tasha about all the millions she’s making him.

Derwin inquires about what new QB is coming to the sabers. Then Tasha drops the bomb and tells the news that she plans on picking up Malik again and will manage his career.

Derwin doesn’t seem too happy about it.

Derwin doesn’t want to share Tasha with Malik. He also is pretty sure that she’ll push him toward endorsements too.

Derwin. The past four lines started with Derwin.

Tasha runs into the dead guy from the last episode. Still lookin all healthy.

With two kids in tow.

Boom! Dead dude got a wife and kids! And his name is Ronnie. I don’t know what’s worse. Him posing as a terminally ill person with a secret family or the name Ronnie.

Tasha surprisingly doesn’t go ballistic even though she admits that she’s a revelation away from shooting his wife and ashy kids.

Malik shows up at his ex-model girlfriend’s photo shoot trying to win her back.

She really doesn’t look like a model, unless I’m just being a hater.

Turns out Malik set up the photo shoot just to get her to talk to him. Now she’s embarrassed. Good move Malik, good move.

I tell ya bout people with money. He set up a fake photoshoot.

Anyway, during commercial break BET announced that they are having a marathon of the whole season four on Saturday already. A little soon, no?

Now enters Jason.

Derwin actually admits to Jason that he’s been trying to get the best quarterback in the league to join the Sabers.

In walks this “best quarterback” nominee just as Jason was leaving. As cheap as Jason is, he’d pay for a compliment, so when the quarterback started to butter him up, Jason begins coaxing him to join the Sabers.

Melanie is also coaxing Tasha and bribing her with food, that Tasha likened to the menu of a repast.

Tasha sees through all of this and wants to know what’s on Mel’s mind. Mel’s drops the don’t represent Malik bomb.

Tasha calls Mel’s out with choice expletives. Mel is a horrible ultimatum giver.

They argue.

In the heat of the moment, Mel fires Tasha. After all Mel is the CEO of the family. Because families work best when the infrastructure mirrors that of a Fortune 500 company. Look at Oprah. She’s the CEO of her family. I mean, yeah she’s the only one but she’s the leader of her family nonetheless and Gayle is her administrative assistant.

Anyway, the Quarterback nominee becomes a saber and during the press conference he single handedly said that he would single handedly do what Malik couldn’t. I haven't done my research. Who is this new quarterback on The Game in real life? Where he come from?

Stacy Dash shows up. She still looks 16. Her and Jason plan a date.

Oh ok, Stacy Dash is with the new Quarterback Dude

Tasha smacking on popcorn in Malik’s bowling alley. And ex-model girlfriend shows in the driveway on crack.

Now Derwin and Tasha are in the doctor’s office going through a series of questions to determine the cause of their infertility problems.

Derwin asks Melanie about the abortion (I’m guessing during the series of questions, her lying was that bad)

“Is it mine?”

You read it first. The last word spoken of the Season Finale of The Game

Um. I just tried to make that final moment climatically dramatic and suspenseful. Yeah yeah?

In other news....

It’s raining radiation

OMG, LOL, and FYI have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary

Lady Gaga’s Real Name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.

Um yeah

Everybody’s putting in a bid to run for President. Running our country has become a joke when Donald Trump says he’s runnin’

Uh let’s see, I’m not sure what I’ll do without you guys on Tuesday nights! Tear Tear. Maybe I’ll recap other shows I watch. I’ve recently taken a liking to Shark Tank and Secret Millionaire. I’m not sure the reading ratings can compete with thee feedback I’ve gotten from The Game.

Thanks for hanging out with me every Tuesday for the past 12 Tuesdays. See momma, I can commit to something!

Video has nothing to do with The Game but EVERYTHING to do with ME

BET's The Game Season 4 Episode 11 - Bucket Shmucket List

2011-03-22T21:43:00.006-05:00

No fancy introduction, here's what happened.

The shows starts with Tasha and Mel at a bar and Mel is texting away and Mel orders a water with lemon cause she’s trying to get pregnant. Melanie is getting cornier and cornier. Not because she’s drinking water...but everything she says is corny.

Leaving Tasha alone with her drink, a man approaches her and uses a pick up line that could have been taken the wrong way thus resulting in a drink in face. He said and quote, “I’m glad your girl left....if I get you drunk and we go do something silly, no one has to know...” I mean, that’s not disrespectful at all. Just me? Ok

Anway, Tasha and dude half-streak through the streets because it’s one his bucket list...I thought that applied to a dying old guy accompanied by a equally old dying guy.

One commercial break later and it turns out he is a dying guy. He admits that he has lung cancer as he smokes the largest cigar in the world.

He gives Tasha this long epiphanical (cause that’s a word) theory about life and dying.

Is someone other than this adventurous stranger gonna die or something?

Melanie just came in from a jog all musty and stuff and wants to make a baby with Derwin cause she’s ovulating with a rapid heart rate. Cute

He says no cause he has to go to practice.

Malik doesn’t want to go to practice and isn’t going to leave the house until his model girlfriend calls. Derwin brings news that the owner is trying to bring in someone to replace him.

Let me remind you that the owner is the husband of Megan Goode. The woman Malik was sleeping with. Yeah that guy.

Mel is going crazy over this baby making thing. She should ask Jenae (Derwin’s baby momma) what method she used to get pregnant.

Tasha is now giving Mel epiphanical (cause that’s still a word) theoretical life quotes.

Turns out dying boy’s name is Bo.

Tasha is falling for a half-dead guy. Great.

Tasha is going surfin’. It’s on her bucket list. So is spending the night with Keith Sweat.

Fast forward to the meeting with team owner (Megan’s husband) and Malik with Derwin in tow.

The team owner busts out with the whole (Do you know what it’s like to get cheated on speech) with Derwin.

The team owner decides to still bring in younger football talent to take Malik’s space, still keep him on the team, and ride the bench. Which is far worse than getting traded.

Malik slept with the team owner’s wife, yet he blames Derwin for the meeting not going so well.

Bo aka dying boy, blinds fold Tasha and reveals a candle lit dinner with...dum dum dum Keith Sweat.

I just thought it would be funny if the dying boy just all of a sudden died on camera and croaked over Tasha’s lap. hehehehehe

For a terminal man, he looks healthy to me.

This is news: One commercial break later, Melanie want’s a baby!

Mel sleeps on the floor with a legs propped up so little derwins can find themselves to little melanies. The journey supposedly takes 15 minutes.

I’m guessing the dying dude died during the last commercial break cause he left T-mack a note that apologized for not being able to make it to India. (A trip on her bucket list).

And then Malik cries on the phone.

The End.

What’s on your bucket list? Here’s mine:

1. Become the next Brit Brat it season 5

2. Weighing in at 120lbs, I want to appear on MTV’s I Used to Be Fat and see if I can slim down to a attractive 65lbs

3. Meet Gayle King and ask her how does it feel to be Oprah’s flunky

4. Become a Scientology Church member and ask them if I can be a deacon.

5. Become Kate Goslin’s best friend.

6. Take a maternity test to see if I’m the mother of someone else’s child.

7. Slap Barbara Walters (I just want to see how quick she bounces back)

8. Rewind time and take Angela’s place in What’s Love Got To Do With It

9. Date a hobbit

10. Get Melanie pregnant and tell Kim Kardashian that she's no longer sexy...she's starting to just look like her mom now.

P.S. I believe the Chris Brown situation was all a set up. You tellin me GMA has noooo camera's in the green room? If the window had not of been "massively shattered in rage" his face wouldn't been on The View, E! News, and every major network show. Good move Chris's people, good move. Now I know his album is coming out. All thanks to a GMA moment that I didn't even see.

BET's The Game Season 4 Episode 10 - Malik is Whole like Milk

2011-03-15T22:16:00.005-05:00

This episode better be good. I was taking a really exciting and much needed nap but I made myself wake up to watch this ding dang on show. And after I watch it, I’m going to sleep.

See what’s happening is...

Malik is having all of these ethereal moments of clarity. Two shows ago, he was dang near strung out on crack and now he is the good advice giving, wise, always smiling dude.

He believes that...

Life is like a tree. Some people are leaves. Some branches. Some roots. Strippers are leaves. Malik is getting rid of the leaves because he found “the one.” He decides to shut down the stripper joint.

Severance pay. He’s giving the girls their severance pay. People in the real world have been getting laid off after 20 years working the same job and they don’t even get severance pay.

Malik doesn’t know what to do with Megan Good. Tee Tee gives him a plan to record Parker aka Megan Good while talking crazy to blackmail her. I see this blowing up in somebody’s face.

Tasha Mack is exercising sitting down on the sofa.

Tee Tee busted Tasha about being broken up with Young Dude cause she hasn’t told Malik.

Tee Tee is looking less and less cockeyed.

Melanie convinces Tasha to throw Tasha’s not boyfriend a surprise party.

Young Dude is turning 25. I knew Mr. 106&Park was young. But goodness.

Parker is hiding in cars at night. Malik’s car

Malik hopes in a Aileen Wuornos victim look a like’s car. Don’t know her? Google her.

She, Tasha, not Aileen, actually threw the dang on party. People bringing presents and everything.

Megan Good and Malik’s girl are at the same party.

Parker’s husband bought her. (He implies that he doesn’t want her looking like a two-dollar girl because she cost more than that. My conclusion? He bought her.) Lest we forget this man is the team owner.

Tasha is still pretending that Mr. 106&Park is really at this party.

They’ve used the word shrimp 50 times at the birthday-boy-less party.

It’s time for the young dude to cut the cake and everybody gathers around. Just as Tasha is about to give a dramatic explanation, Mr. 106&Park storms into the party all excited like he was actually invited to his birthday party.

Tasha cries in front of Young Dude. The feeling is just now settling over me that she is old enough to be his mother. Ew.

Young Dude requests one last birthday dance.

My nap was more entertaining than this episode.

Malik meets Parker in the bathroom and obviously she figures out that he’s recording her.

She throws his phones in the trash. They have a heart to heart in the stall.

Malik is now a psychologist.

Melanie spits out her drink (because people really do that when they hear shocking news) when Tasha confesses to being broken up with Mr. 106&Park.

Megan Good tells her hubbie (who will always be the English teacher/football coach from Lean On Me with Morgan Freeman) off in the parking lot admitting that she slept with Malik.

“You’re in for a world of hurt. A world of hurt!” That’s what her husband said. Oooohh, I thought. A world of hurt. His speech in Lean On Me after he overturned Morgan’s desk was much more threatening.

No Brit. No Brat. No Super Dad Jason. Too much Tee-Tee and not enough chicken.

There are only two more episodes left of this season. This season went by quick. Alright y’all. I ain’t finna check for spelling errors or nothing. No more witty banter about what else is happening in the world. Read the news. I’m sleepy. Holla back Tasha Mack style. Zzzzzzzzz.....

P.S. Watch my youtube videos before you go to sleep www.youtube.com/lisabpoetry. I'll give you 5 Tasha Mack Dollars.

BET's The Game Season 4 Episode 9 - Brit is a Drug Dealer

2011-03-09T10:45:00.009-06:00

While you were watching Sheen travel further down the already downward spiral into a deep plunge of nothingness, I was soaking up some chilly sun Los Angeles. Instead of blogging about my, as Sheen would say, “Oddessy of Epicness” will drinking secret “elixir below the frame line” of my nightly ustreamed appearance on, I was engaging in PG-14 behavior. I missed last week’s episode of The Game so I asked a fellow Sunbeamer, Danita to fill you guys in...I back.

See what had happened was...

There’s only one restaurant in Saberland - I’ve seen this outside spot in season fifty times.

Brit Brat had to stay home from school because of her monthly. But she skipped school to hang with her girls and she order dum dum dum... house flat water, instead of bottle water. Jason caught her, but doesn’t really care. Brit is headed for Teen Mom Season 4 quicker than I thought. Malik rightfully compares her to Bobby Christina.

Tasha gets down with the Black Girl Pat at Mel's cribatorium.

Jason barges in with Magic Johnson, ironically wearing the brightest Red shirt that can’t help but make me think of how his “situation” has disappear.

Brit Brat is excited at the thought of having babies. Jason wants to dump Brit with Mel and Tasha so he can golf.

There is absolutely to much Brit Brat in this episode. Magic Johnson is surprisingly a good actor.

Brit thinks she’s grown enough to have babies and not have babysitters.

Melanie tells Magic Johnson to stop eating the grapes cause they for her daddy. If Magic came to your house, would you refuse him Grapes? Not rhetorical.

Mel’s stick-up-the-butt parents arrive.

Melanie’s mama brought up Green Peace - SN: Ok see now, some cute little curly haired man named, John caught me walking down some boulevard in North Hollywood and talked me into paying $15 dollars a month to save some trees in Venezuela. I un-regrettably cancels that after 4 consecutive months to contribute to Netflix instead. DVD's saves trees too.

Tasha so ghetto and I love it. Tasha agrees to babysit the Brat.

After downloading $200 worth of Twilight movies, Tasha leds Brit down the path of righteousness and directs her towards the bible, ironically placed by hennessy and dominoes.

Remember those parents that carried a genuine disdain for “that boy that dragged Melanie to Hell” a couple of seaons ago. Yeah, they love Derwin now. I mean, at the expense of NBA season passes and sizable donations to saving trees. The mom even claim little Derwin as her Grandson.

Ooh that woman doing Tasha hair, is Mya momma from Girlfriends! Her hair is nice.

Brit stole a mysterious something out of Tasha’s purse and Mack told her to get a switch.

Melanie is sad that her parents are not paying attention to her and claims that they believe that they believe there is nothing interesting about being a boring housewife who is president of the Sunbeams

You’re right Melanie, there is nothing interesting about that.

Brit lied on Tasha about the purse theivery which turned out to be surprise, weed. Jason is “furious” that Tasha had her around such substance. Yeah the same little girl who skipped school, is eager bleeding to make babies, and taking half-nakey pictures on facebook should not be around weed. Alert the Charlie Sheen media.

“I’m ok not practicing medicine, ya know”

No you’re not ok Melanie. Generational Curse Moment: Melanie’s mom gave up being a famous Opera singer to be married. Mel wants to help Derwin get where he wants to be. Screw her dreams!

Mel’s mom misreads Melanie’s monologue and concludes that’s Mel’s having a baby. She’s not.

Brit Brat got like five bags under each eye.

Finally Jason, steps his Dad game up. Snatches her purse before she goes out and rummages through it to find...dum dum dum....weed.

Brit is a drug dealer. She kept weed so her friend can sell it for a profit. (As though you can sale it for a non profit or something.)

Jason has a ah ha Oprah moment and he quit the sport's show to actually, I don’t know... RAISE IS DAUGHTER. T

Kudos. I was actually a proud viewer at this moment.

Tasha’s gives Malik a whopping

In short, Cody Bell, the man who pretends to be Jason Pitts is actually a happy father and family man in real life. He has like thirty-five kids. See pic above.

In a shorter short, I'm watching American Idol again and I'm cheering for the boy with the twitchy eyebrows and I'm thinking about making and selling I Heart Charlie Sheen shirts and in honor, of Brit Brat's business savviness, I aim to make a profit.

BET's The Game Season 4 Episode 8 - 3's a Crowd

2011-03-08T20:03:00.003-06:00

Entitled “A Very Special Moment” should be calledS&M now stands for Stupid Melanie!! or Mel kissed a girl and liked it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have I been smoking the “Charlie Sheen”???? This episode has my head reeling? The all American church going Davis’s doing threesomes??????????????? What the deuce?????? Is this an evil alternate parallel universe in opposite land????????????????????? Mel is going to experience the “L” word just to please Derwin’s lying behind???????????????????? Malik being a stand up guy (well kind of)????????????

The episode starts out with Malik on the Monique show having his "Confession'. Is it me or does Monique say the word "baby" every 15 seconds in her contract? We should play a drinking game to that. Every time she says baby we take a shot. We would all be punch gut drunk. LOL

Malik, says he is not the 80 million dollar man now he is just the incredibly wealthy man. LOL Then he has a Tom Cruise moment. He admits he is in love with supermodel Jenna Rice and jumps all over Monique's couch!! SMH "Maybe he is on a drug called Malik El Debarge Wright " LOL

If you are a diabetic get an insulin shot before u see Malik & Jenna. Too much PDA. He may be making her the new drug of his life. Just when u are about to OD like charlie sheen in a hotel room in Vegas here comes the psycho!!!!! Envy thy name is Parker!! She is reptile green with envy and seething mad at Malik & his new relationship. Then she tries in a last ditch effort to tell Malik she hasnt shaven in a month and she knows he likes that???? Does Malik like to play Stever Erwin in the jungle chopping her vines with his machete??????????? Crickey???????? What does her stuff look like pipi long stockings???? I digress. Then she admits that she doesn't have a uterus or tonsils???????? OMG. I am about to faint. This is the TMI or should I say TMDFI episode of the year!!!!!!!!!! Maybe u need to smoke some Charlie Sheen to digest it all!!! This admission by Parker explains a lot!! Her desperation has a direct correlation to her deep seated insecurities by the fact she can't have kids. Really explains her overly promiscous actions and the reason she can't let Malik go and why her husband isn't paying her attention. Poor thing, she doesn't realize Malik was under the haze of addiction and is now free and she needs to project her problems onto her husband and a counselor not chase after a man who doesn't want her.

The Sunbeams are answering fan mail letters from hoochies and grandmas sending panties and prisoners. SMH. Mel is finally learning to hold her own when she tells tasha her man is so young the only woman tasha has to compete with is Dora the Explorer. There is her 2 piece. Here comes Jazz again to skank it up. Am I the only one who will say she is like a used Saber doorknob? They have all had a turn on her!! They act like u have to give up who u are and all your morals to please and keep yourself. Nothing is better to a man than 4 ta ta’s???? I am SMH until whiplash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She says to introduce toys and another woman b/c u have to do whatever it takes to please ur husband. SMH!! My mom would say Sodom & Gomora!!!!!!!!! What type of message does this send our daughters????????? Give up all your morals and common sense to please ur man???? Why not tell them hold onto yourself and if your man loves you, he will stay around????? IF u give into ur man's every whim and do what u know is wrong, he will 9 times out of 10 join in to the act and then use that as the excuse to leave u!!

My gosh the next segment should be entitled "while the wife is away, the dog will play." A skanky groupie is in derwin’s room whilel he is on the phone with mel. Mel snaps off. No church boy didn’t flirt with her!!!!!!!! What is he learning in the mandatory church sessions. He admits that groupies are in the room all the time and then ask Mel for Skype Sex?????????????????? When did Skype Sex get to be the norm?? No Parker isn’t in the bed. This episode definitely isn’t for kids.nu

Yet again Psycho Parker is waiting for Malik in his room. Malik admits his love for jenna and kicked her out. Boy does he look scared trying to play it off. Then she says she will cry rape and with all his legal problems he is b/t a rock and a hard place and he sleeps with the psycho to shut her trap. However, isn't what Parker did to him rape?????? he has his thumb in his mouth like a kid who is scared of the boogey man!!! He then goes home and there is Jenna naked, willing and able. Malik CRIED! Yes he cried!! But he should have told her the truth! Or better yet he should have run out of the room with psyco parker at the hotel. That chick needs a prozac!!!!!

Now back to girl Mel. She enlists Jazz, this shows version of "superhead" to help her spice things up with Dumb A Derwin.
Jazz is so skanky and idiotic. Why doesn’t her car have tags????? How are u married to a baller and riding dirty??? A threesome??? Really Mel. Whatever happened to "thy shalt not commit adultery?" Church is ALL out the window this episode!!!!!1
Mel needs to pimp slap jazz for throwing up that she used to sleep with derwin. I guess Mel got her “biscuit” for throwing up the fact that jazz’s baby doesn’t look like jevon but the 2nd string kicker!!! LOL She said she is going on a kitty kat hunt for mel OMG. How cliché to have katty perry in the background. Is girl mel bi???

Does Mel not know that once u give in, he may not respect u anymore???? Mel has to get Mel Gibson drunk to even try to go thru with a 3 some. Dumb A Derwin (now referred to as DAD) said “u been practicing, u ain’t never been that good with ur tongue” while the other woman is licking on Derwin. Melanie felt like crap for even thinking of doing a threesome and politely kicked the girl out. DAD didn't have a clue!!!!!! SMH Melanie explained she couldn't go thru with it to the girl and sitll got kissed at the end. Did Mel kiss a girl and like it?????? And DAD still didn't figure out what was going on!!! Mel's insecurities have made her write a check her butt can't cash!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is parents put the kids to bed before watching this one

And next week's episode "who is the adult and who is child"? Tasha is going to be caught having weed around brit brat!!! No wonder Derwin is an addict??? This is too much for this girl to process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did someone slip something in my Dr. Pepper???????????? This is definitely the new black soap opera. Talk about the young and the restless!!!!!!

BET's The Game Season 4 Episode 7 - Kelly in the PItts

2011-02-22T23:46:00.004-06:00

Well whudda thunk it. This episode actually had doses of truthful and useful messages hidden in the dialogue. Truthful messages like, just maybe certain persuasions let their children talk to them any kind of way and believe in time outs. These persuasions are not of any particular color, but of a {place a stuck-up sounding word here} nature. You know, the moms you see an a grocery store telling Baby Billy he can’t have any Poptarts and he responds by hurling hideous insults at the top of his lungs while reaching for heavy artillery killing everyone in aisles 4,5,6, and 8. Baby Billy is only 6 and three quarters, still in a stroller.

Anyway, I’m not watching Teen Mom 2 tonight, because I’ve had a big enough dose of rebellious teendom from the bratty Brit.

You know, the daughter that aged from 7 to 13 and had 6 birthdays in two years? She made an appearance tonight to prove once and for all that she is indeed a brat.

Here’s what happened tonight...

Kelly is threatened to put a halt to her reality show because she signed a confidentiality clause in her divorce agreement so she can’t mention her EX husband in a reality show about her EX baller husband and her EX life.

Jason threatens to not give her any more money until then...

Kelly changes her last name to Devereau...well because she wanted to change her last name to Devereau.

Once again Malik formally known as Tiger is back in rehab and ‘spells the pills’ that he’s been popping pills 15-20 per day. (Does that not call for stomach pumping. Isn’t that a suicidal amount.)

The doctor tells him he was emotional issues as if this is news to us.

Malik gets all Diary of a Mad Black Man once again and storms out using Star Wars and Star Trek references.

Kelly shows up at an industry event with Derwin, Mel, and Tasha. Kelly tries to slap his face on her reality show but the Mack ain’t having it.

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S made a three second appearance. I’m sure that was him right?

The model from rehab shares with Malik that although Jelly Beans are not good food for models it’s better than crack.

I disagree. Crack it is.

Malik tells her he has no friends.

She actually gives him good advice. Something about living your life to the fullest...yadda yadda commercial break.

Retired BET uncut dancers made an appearance at whatever industry gathering they are with F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S

Kelly is in the pitts (hahahaha corny pun intended) when she can’t get any ballers on her show Ex-Ballers wives.

Kelly begins to dance like a slut for her cameras for attention. It was quit disturbing.

She’s made no. 1 on the Internet’s hottest booty list. Great.

Oh and Brit Brat ends up taking half naked pics of herself and posting them on FB and Jason is blaming Kelly for the influence. Not Nikki Minaj. Not Teen Mom 2. Not Cosmo Magazine. Not BET Blackbuster movies. Not all of her other 13 year old friends which I’m sure are tasteless. Not the divorce. It’s AAALLLL Kelly’s fault.

That conversation between Brit and her mom was wrong on so many different levels I don’t want to recap that part. Simply because I would hate to turn this paragraph into a parental debate about corporal punishment and methods of discipline hence my rant at the beginning but stuff like that really makes me mad. Brit Brat need a good ole fashion whoopin.

Tasha agrees

Melanie no children having self believes in “time-outs”

Malik shows up at TT’s truck trying to make nice. Aww. he apologizes. TT took the girl back that cheated on him

Malik and the model kiss in front of a yellow car.

Kelly quit the reality show. Kelly cries. Kelly gets pathetic in front of Jason. Kelly is giving Brit to Jason. He aggrees to keep her

In short, Alyssa Milano is pregnant. Latte sales are up predicting a bright economic future for America. Rahm Emanuel is the coolest name a mayor as every had. And next week’s previews seem like it’s gonna be 237% times better than this weeks.

BET’s The Game Season 4 Episode 6 - "I Bielibe in You and Me"

2011-02-15T21:51:00.004-06:00

First I would like to say this... Note to Bieber fans: Get over your freakin selves! Bieber doesn’t even like himself as much as you freaks do. You didn’t even know how to spell Esperanza Spalding until a few days ago. You flakey little twelve year olds don’t even have the muscles to hold a bass guitar let alone kill anyone. Most of you are gonna twitter yourselves to death over a boy who doesn’t even know you and end up having Carpel Tunnel syndrom in both of your wrists. And all ten of your fingers (12 if you were born with those extra pinkies) are gonna turn red and fall off.

Now back to what happened on this episode of the game.

The Pakistanian version of Celebrity Rehab’s Dr. Drew, leads the discussion with rehabbers living with Malik. Malik of course is a-hole-ish and his housemates don’t like him.

In commercials I am enjoying the trending topics on twitter. Apparently twitter users all over the world tonight are experts on what’s #NotSexy and #ThatsSexy

Rick “Dam” Fox is texting Mack. Once you go Mack, you never go back.

Melanie used the word canoodling.

Guess who’s coming to dinner? Rick Fox & Tasha Mack have a date set later for the night.

And guess who crashed the sunbeams meeting with her entire reality show crew. Kelly Pitts.

I didn’t now rich people still carpooled. Melanie and the sunbeams planned to carpool to the Saber’s next game.

Kelly won’t leave the meeting. She makes herself cozy.

Malik apologizes for monopolizing the conversation to Jena. Another girl in rehab. He tells her that he doesn’t have a problem and that he’s Tiger Woods-ing it for his image. I will hereby refer to Malik as Tiger for the rest of this blog entry.

The Pakistanian Dr. Drew confronts Tiger about not taking the process seriously.

Tiger leaves rehab.

Halfway through and this episode is rather dry.

Mr. 106&Park knows how to fix fireplaces.

Melanie wants Kelly to join the other Sunbeamers on their girl’s nightt out, which looks rather boring. The other Sunbeams don’t want her to come but Kelly shows up anyway and Mel let’s her in anyway.

Tiger is addicted to pills.

Derwin Davis shows up at the same outing as Tiger and Tiger is upset that he wasn’t at his press conference a couple of episodes ago.

Tiger wants to beat everybody up and he is causing a scene as usual. Derwin knocks Tiger out I guess. I’m not sure. That whole “fighting” scene was a little awkward and in-definitive.

Tasha Mack get’s all dolled up for her date and lies to young dude and tells him that she’s going out with the girls.

Later at dinner she looks like she finna get stood up and then Mr. 106&Park shows up instead.

It just so happened that Rick Fox called the house and told him that he wasn’t showing up. Tasha Mack is caught up and Mr. 106&Park calls Tasha Mack out for getting all “Carrie Bradshawed” up. If you’re a man and you’re reading this and you don’t know who Carrie Bradshaw is. Good for you. You shouldn’t.

Ok so now this was disturbing. No young black man should ever use a Sexy in the City reference. EVER.

Young dude breaks up with Tasha Mack. I’m finding out for the first time that his last name is actually “Young” Real creative writers, real creative.

All the sunbeams leave the “party” because Kelly is there and Melanie tells Kelly she is the reason.

The way they look directly nto the reality show’s camera is really getting on my nerves.

Meanwhile, Tiger is passed out in the bathroom with Jason and Ding Dong. Tiger wakes up out of no where and attacks Derwin from behind. Cotton-picking mind. Ding Dong told Tiger that he has lost his Cotton-Pickin mind.

First Melanie says canoodling and Derwin says Cotton-Picking mind. Aw geez, this corny couple.

Anywho, when Derwin tells Tiger it’s time to go back to rehab he makes a beeline for the bathroom stall that was 3 steps away but he ran like it was a 100 meter dash. It was quite comical.

In an emotional confrontation with a dramatic song in the background, they drop Tiger back off at rehab.

So there you have it, the recap of an episode where nothing really happened.

I’m going back to watching Teen Mom while I entertain myself with #NotSexy and #ThatsSexy trending topics on twitter.

P.S. Back to the 12 year old Bielibers. If you don’t get your carpooling, Bieber canoodling cotton-pickin minded selves a new hobby, I swear...

Bet's The Game Season 4 Episode 5 - Lies Beget Lies

2011-02-08T21:59:00.005-06:00

Derwin's bible apparently reads "Thou shalt lieth all the timeth."

Tonight’s episode of BET's The Game was called “Men in Crisis” and it should have been titled “Really Derwin, Really?” If you missed tonight’s episode, you missed the most successive lies told in one 30 minute episodic series.

Here’s what happened.

Melanie hates going to church every Sunday because it conflicts with her Sunday brunch because that's the only day you can eat brunch and is shunning Janae for making Derwin go to those custody hearings that last for hours. Turns out the custody hearings are being held in Janae’s back yard in her pool and the required attire is bikinis and swim trunks.

One commercial break later, Derwin actually has the nerve to show up in the kitchen with a suit pretending that he just came back from the custody hearing. Lie #428

Melanie begs Derwin to talk his baby momma into letting DJ go to Disneyland with them.

Mr. 106&Park is back. Yippie (sarcastic) He complains about eating 5 Star meals every night. He thinks Tasha’s BALLIN’ Status is brash as in “They say I’m loud, brash, and ghetto. They forgot BALLIN’”

They get into an argument over her spending money and he calls her hood rich.

He forgot BALLIN’!!!

Derwin has another “custody hearing” and this time the judge (Janae) requires him to barbeque with she is poolside with a bikini.

Janae doesn’t want the baby to go to Disneyland because The DNA police aka Messy Melanie will be there.

Derwin lies AGAIN and tells Janae that Mel will be at a medical seminar.

Yes, ladies the same Derwin that you wanted to marry three episodes ago for making Melanie go to church is repeatedly breaking one of the ten commandments.

Derwin order a Boomshakalaka from TT’s wing truck.

Apparently ordering a 12 piece instead of a 6 piece is code for Derwin’s cheating. Why I thought chilling poolside with your baby mama half nakey and lying about it was code for cheating.

Tasha just bought a white on white Maserati which I first spelled as Mazarade - Guess who’s not Ballin’. Speaking of...

Tasha Mack has used the word Ballin over ten times and I’m loving it.

Janae and Melanie ends up at the same restaurant.

Melanie walks over to speak unnecessarily, I would have just waved.

SN: Hallmark does make apology cards for swabbing babies

Melanie thanks Janae for allowing DJ to go to Disneyland.

Lie #564 - BOOM

Janae tells Melanie that Derwin hasn’t been called into to any custody hearings.

Lie #846 - BOOM

Melanie calls Janae crazy

Derwin tells Lie #874 - Lie #1005 to Melanie in one sitting back at their house.

Melanie shows Derwin a movie of him entertaining his baby and baby momma by doing the robot in Janae’s pool. He’s busted.

Meanwhile, Tasha serves Mr. 106&Park a meal with “no bells, no whistles, no ballin’”

And just like a 14 year old, Mr. 106&Park is playing video games while his girlfriend made him dinner.

Derwin goes to confront Janae and honestly, I don’t remember the conversation because I was thrown off by the fact that Janae’s cribatorium looks better than Derwin and Melanie’s cribatorium

Clearly BET has revoked it’s “No using the B-word” rule. 3 counts for tonight.

Tasha brings Malik some chicken wings to while he is in rehab and after Malik Wright Overload, last week, it was refreshing to barely seem him in this episode. She tells Malik that she’s in love.

Every single time Melanie was on camera tonight, she’s had a glass of wine in her hand.

Girl Melanie made Veal Mela-something and Derwin asked her did she spit in his food as though that’s the worst thing a diary-of-a-mad-black-wife can do with food. I would have sniffed for rat poison.

Tasha thinks she’s in love with Mr. 106&Park and in the upcoming episode preview I heard Rick Fox’s name and I’m crossing my fingers that he comes back!

In short, Tasha is Ballin’ and Derwin is Lyin’.

The Malik Wright Show

2011-02-01T22:13:00.005-06:00

Yea so I was just chillin at some random football game and I bumped into my boys and I just took a pic real quick. Whether I took this pic myself or not is up to you to rate as fact or fiction, but it is a fact that I would have been better off recaping the commericals this week. Or even worse, BET's Let's Stay Together.

Anywho, for the second week in a row, the plot pretty much centered around our troubled Malik Wright.

Once again, no Kelly, no Brit Brat, two seconds of TeeTee, and too much of Malik and his large house.

See what had happened was...

Tasha finds out that Malik is in jail via flat screen and his bail is set at $100,000 which shouldn't be a problem because that's probably how much a doorknob in the house of the famed football player cost.

Malik thinks he's above the law...well...because athletes are. (Except for when they have "non-consensual relations" with women of the other persuasion.)

Megan Good's husband/owner of the Sabers took Malik's phone to keep him from contacting the social media and tweeting to much. At the time, I thought he was gonna find txt or pics of Megan. But he didn't.

Now Malik is expressing jealousy that his mom is Derwin's Manager.

Jason does a report on Malik's future in hell...oops I mean jail.

Hey noticed all the above mentioned repaps have Malik's name in them?!?!?!

All of Malik's friends sell him out on national television.

Malik and a team mate were hanging out at a two-lane bowling alley which was later revealed was inside of his house. Two year ago, he was living in a garage-like habitation and now he's staying in...I can't even think of a house large enough to equate it to.

Every one including his manager and Malik's mother is pressuring Derwin to stay away from Malik and he's "sad" that people may possible take away his million dollar endorsement deals because they don't want to see him with a man who may be going to jail.

Even Melanie is pressuring him to disconnect from Malik.

Ok Ok Really, like whose house did BET jack for Malik's crib. Every angle just shows how obnoxiously ridiculously hugh that thing is. Or maybe I'm just a hater.

Anyway, Malik agrees to go on Jason's shows where he has another "episode" by yelling and shouting about how great he is.

Malik calls Derwin and asked him to accompany him to a press release so he can use Derwin's squeaky clean image.

Melanie gives Derwin advice to go, which contradicts her previous statement from seven minutes ago. You know the advice to basically throw Malik under the bus so they won't lose Essence Magazine covers and nike commercials. So she told him to go because they "both go to church now." As if every choice they make from here on out will be blessed by God.

Malik volunteers himself to go to rehab. Derwin didn't show up.

The End

The produces just texted me that the show formally known has "The Game" will from now on be acknowledged as "The Malik"

If you are in the Midwest and you can't leave your house because of the snow, take the liberty to count how many times that bolden name appears. You may get a prize. Ok you won't but some of you will count anyway.

Until next time my friends.

See What Had Happened Was... Episode 3

2011-01-25T23:09:00.007-06:00

I don’t know what’s worse: Malik’s frohawk that features the widow’s peak or Malik’s frohawk that features the widow’s peak. He need to get that thing under control. Anyway, this episode was a little whomp whomp to me. It seemed like nothing really happened.

Anyway, see what had happened was...

Malik is mad at the world.

Wow Ex-med school is the new stuck up leader of the sunbeams

SN: BET may need to invest in some extra lighting or maybe I just need to adjust the brightness on my screen.

TeeTee is coming up in the game. Literally, his character has sense now and TeeTee paid Malik back all the money he loaned him for the chicken truck plus interest and Malik still acted like a a**hole.

Jazz is back..you remember that ghetto girl that every Saber slept with once upon a time that ended up marrying that team player. You know who I’m talking about if you watched the show, cause that description I just gave was horrible. SMH at myself.

Melanie has an iPad.

Melanie is preparing for a talk with teen girls as a platform initiative for the Sunbeams because I guess she’s so accomplished with quitting her residency and being the wife of a football player and all.

Melanie stuck Jazz on refreshments as she believed, the one time video dancer, as nothing inspirational to tell the girls.

Jazz finds the opportunity to put her butt in Derwin’s face so he could hold the step ladder while she tried to get stuck-up sparkling water as requested by the stuck up Melanie.

Malik’s house is getting bigger and bigger.

And his assistant is really bad.

Melanie used her iPad to present to the teens. I really want an iPad. And so did the troublesome teen.

Ranch sunflower seeds. They served ranch sun flower seeds to them kids. Where were the hot cheetoes?

Jazz s is celebrated by the group of teenages who aspired to become future video vixens. Great.

Jas exposed that Melanie is indeed an uppidty niggrett who is believes her ish smells like roses. After all Jazz is a skank. But at least she’s a “skank that keeps in one hunnid.” Basically she told, that no matter what road you take...they all lead you to marrying a football player.

Ok see, now, Malik has some serious issues. He is taking this angry black man thing to a whole new level of angry black manness.

Pills? Smoked her out? Remember when the big A word they foreshadowed on the Season Premiere. I’m positive that Malik is positive.

Um. Where’s Jason?

No Kelly

And as I suspected No Brit Brat

Malik got pulled over.

Malik is a rightfully-so a victim of police brutatility and the show abruptly ends with his mugshot. WTF as in Win the Future which is the title of Obama’s State of the Union Address which was unquestionably more entertaining tonight’s episode of The Game.

The State of Our Ideas

2011-01-25T22:39:00.005-06:00

You know the drill by now guys. I catch up on my Teen Mom 2 while I recap what I saw on my television screen. Tonight there are two recaps to read. Between our economic status, birds dropping dead, and the fact that we are in a gajabafillion dollars in debt, I figured it would behoove me to tune in and listen to my President speak. I’ve been looking forward to this more than my weekly affair with BET’s The Game. Besides, if I can recap word for word the happenings of a scripted drama about fictional characters, I can recap the words of a man leading a real country comprised of real people like you and me.

Above all of the major points that were brought out, the major chord that resonated within me is the importance in the POWER OF AN IDEA. ‘Innovation doesn’t just change our lives, it’s how we make our living.”

I watched the SOTU with my baby boomer parents who may not realize just in fact how much the world has changed. Just last week, I accompanied, ok forced, my mother to go by her first laptop and tied my father’s arms behind his back and waived a chicken wing in front of his face until he agreed to wifi the house. j/k. I read that 18-35 year olds spend an average of 40-50 HOURS a week on the internet. That’s a full time job. Is it because we are unemployeed and have nothing better to do, or are we starting to realize the earning potential the internet is capable of helping us generate.

To do this day, my father, who worked for the same company for 30 years still tells me to get a job. He doesn’t know that every time I crack open my computer in the comfort of my now internet ready home, I make money. Now, through the aid of mentors and supporters, I’m finally beginning to wake up to discovered that I’ve literally made money while sleeping thanks to the internet.

Do you remember a few years ago when Facebook was just another (Imagine a old man on his porch with no teeth saying) “Oh these kids are just doing nothing and wasting their time.” Now “these” sites are the proof of our existence, of company’s existence. It was once that you’re considering a nobody if you’re not in the yellow pages. Yellow pages? What’s that? Exactly. Someone came along with an idea. But it’s bigger than one person thinking of something. With the internet you have the ability to reach the largest audience ever: the World. Mark thought of facebook. We, his fellow generationeers (new word), sustains it. Whose waiting to sustain your next idea? What are you waiting for? Scared? This world is so ever changing that if you failed at a venture, by the next time Lindsey is behind bars again, everybody would have forgotten. Move on to the next idea.

We are the children and the children’s children of the baby boomers that they are always talking about. It is time for us to continue to step up to the political plate.

Invest in your ideas and realize the power within them and the earning potential. Earning potential that can stem far beyond money, but setting up a sound financial and moral future for OUR children and OUR children’s children.

Health care, energy, defense, debt, taxes...and the list goes on and on. All of these solutions I believe are being held hostage in the brain of someone in my generation.

Baby boomers, we appreciate it, we really do. But this is our time now and yes, I am really concerned about where are they gonna find this 55 billion dollars that they owe you through social security for your retirements, but who’s going to take care of us in our old age: our ideas.

Who's The Baby's Momma?

2011-01-24T12:58:00.010-06:00

So for the first time in the history of MY life, I attempted to watch an entire NFL game. Depending on what you call success: watching the whole game or understanding it, nonetheless I tuned into the The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears game on Sunday. Heard of em? So yeah, I watched the entire game and tried to look excited when the quarterback what's-his-name throw the ball thingy to what's-his-face who got a touch down giving the still losing Bears their first touch down of the game. Yet, all I could think about was, oooh wee, I'm glad I'm not married to any of those jokers.

Not saying that the episodic tales of The Game, Football Wives, Basketball Wives, or any show dealing with athletic relational issues, has depleted my faith in athletic relational issues...but it has. Thankfully, Tia Mowry who plays Girl Melanie seems WAAAYYY happier with her hubbie of two years, Cory Hardrict.

I know he has nothing to do with nothing about the show, but when you're that cute, you have everything to do with nothing.

Anyway, here's more about the 31 year old hubbie of the girl plays the girl that makes us yell at the television screen,

Fact #1: He's adorable

Fact #2: He's an actor

Fact #3: He's made an appearance in The Game as "The Cable Guy"

Fact#4: He played in "He's Just Not That Into You"

Fact #5: Just look him up on IMDB to see what else you've seen him in.

It's a pretty impressive resume even though, regrettably I really don't remember his characters in any of the shows and movies. But the point I'm trying to make is that he's a very talented individual.

Fact#6: His baby momma is Tia Mowry. No DNA test necessary. The two are expecting their first child on July 3, 2011

Ummm...rummaging through his imdb profile (See for yourself: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0362484/) I'm discovering that Cory also was in a episode of Smart Guy. Remember that show with Tia's adorable little brother Tahj Mowry, who has since then grown out of his adorableness and now he just looks like a short regular dude? Well yeah, he had a feature role which means that possibly maybe the two knew each other for a longer time. (In my attempts to make this seemingly boring post, informatively juicy, you probably have already known that) But it's news to me.

So there you have it. I didn't exactly tell you the man's life story but for those of you who didn't know, now you know cause it's Mike's Super Short Show. (If any of you know that reference, I love you)

Also another random fact: Tia's followers on twitter have increased by like 300,000 since the season premiere. Follow them both at @TiaMowry and @CoryHardrict after you follow me at @ellebizzie.

See later when I post the recap for episode 3.

BET's The Game Episode 2

2011-01-19T00:09:00.003-06:00

"HE IS MY CHILD!!! NOT YOURS!!!"
"You betta find out how to get a lawyer."

Oh wait...those lines are from where the real baby mama drama resides: Teen Mom 2

Actually, before I recap...I find your fb updates and tweets more entertaining than the episode itself. You know, the episode you just watched that featured the word "wall" 17 times and featured our beloved Tasha Mack only twice. Here's what was in my newsfeed...

"Dear Lord, plz send me a husband like Derwin..."

"ARE U SERIOUS, ITS OVER ALREADY!?!? My husband and I started itching like a crack head when The Game went off"

"I need a Derwin in my life"
(My rebuttal: Really? You need a man with baby mama drama to force you to go to church)

"Messy Melanie"

Anywho, see what had happened was...

Tasha Mack gave the weakest and fakest apology in the history of weak and fake apologies and magically mended the two year fall out between her and weirdo Kelly Pitts.

Turns out that during the two year hiatus, while you were picketing for the show to return, Kelly was the one who convinced Messy Melanie, to quit her residency. Great move, Mel. Take advice on how to save your marriage from a divorced woman.

"Too soon homie, too soon." Malik bluntly made fun of the fact that Ding Dong named a child that possibly isn't his, Ding Dong, Jr.

Jason is officially no longer a Saber and is offically an anchor on Benched.

Melanie knows how to replaster walls. Not a bit of dry wall residue left on that pretty little outfit of hers. The walls are butterscotch cream and the hole she covered is now a blatant-punch-me-here-again-Derwin-bright-off-white.

Ding Dong (pun intended), Janae's at the door. Melanie rushed and told Derwin that the lab made a mistake and that's his son yadda yadda. Judging from the oversized Maury-like envelope in Janae's hand, I'm sure we all saw the proof coming.

Derwin is as furious as Pooch Hall could pull off.

Baby Mama plans on taking Derwin's money for...drum roll...good ole child support. BOOM (Tasha Smith style). I don't blame her. She should get an extra check for putting up with Messy Melanie.

Um where is Tasha Mack?

Jason auto-tuned a version of Dipps and Pitts. It was horrible. In real life.

No Brit Brat.

Please don't foreshadow the big A word.

In conclusion, Derwin prayed and demanded that Mel goes to church " Every Sunday! I mean, when I'm not there, you are every Sunday. On the first row."

And that's when the "oh Derwin marry me" tweets started rollin' in. Really ladies? All a brotha gotta do is mention Sweet Baby Jesus and is hubby material?? Lest we forget, this Holy Man cheated, had a baby outta wedlock, and let's admit it, he needs to turn up the wattage on his bulb.

In short, some of you guys loved it, plenty hated it, and everyone is still gonna watch it next week.

Dear BET,
You spoiled us with the hour long premiere. With commercials, that junt was 'bout 12 minutes.

Bring Back Brit Brat?

2011-01-18T10:22:00.002-06:00

While the controversial Kanye West was tweeting/hating on Brittany Spear’s single coming in at #1, over H.A.M., West’s and Jay-Z’s new single, I was sending hate tweets to another Brit. I checked the facebook fan page and found out that according to facebooker, Kris G., the new Brit Brat is related to Kenny Smith who is the main writer and conveniently the Executive Producer of the hit show. Great. Nothing but “I Whip My Hair Back and Forth” comes to mind. (Those darn Smiths)

Erica Glucks (the REAL Brit Brat) and her father wanted to fly in and relocate to shoot the new season but the show’s producers and writers didn’t even want to take a meeting with her.

Fans are supposedly quote unquote outraged but I highly doubt this effects the ratings of the show. The same fans that tweet “I hate the new #BritBrat!”, “I’m furious! Bring back the real Brit Brat!” Are also tweeting “#GameOn!!! Waahooooo, tonight is #TheGame!!!” “ I’m calling off of work to watch #TheGame!”

So, in short, get over it people. As it turns out, the role of Kelly Pitts will not be featured on every episode. So if we’re lucky, we’ll only be seeing the privileged-I-know-somebody-who-knew-somebody-Katlynn Smith.

So in the words of K-Wizzy, “Yo, Brit, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you be #1, but [The Real Brit Brat] is one of the best....” Well if we were actually honest with ourselves...that little girl Erica Glucks wasn’t exactly the Dakota Fanning of television...Get over people. Today is Game Day!

Disagree with me? Say so...

If you want the girl back so bad, you brought the show back. Bring back the real Brit Brat.

The Biggest BET Season Premiere?

2011-01-12T14:21:00.005-06:00

Sources say that 7.7 million of you guys tuned in last night. Wowzeers. I wonder how many people "kept it locked" as Mr. 106&Park would say and tuned in to the other original BET series Let's Stay Together?

7.7 million people. Good lawd, that's a lot of people. I wonder what the CW thinks about that. The buzz is still on...tweets still rollin in...geez luis...i forgot what I was working on before The Game came on last night.

My Predictions

2011-01-12T11:36:00.010-06:00

We love this show so much, that we’ll forgive the creative director for retouching Malik to the point of unrecognizability on all the promo materials. (The mohawk is unforgivably high though).

My predictions for the future of The Game are as follows:

Girl Melanie is gonna preserve her fantasy of a world that only includes her and Derwin. First, she is going to kill Janai and DJ. By the time that happens (I’ll give that to the season finale), TNT’s “We Know Drama” The Closer, will have eventually caught Game Fever and Derlanie or Melwin (I haven’t settled on which marital nickname I like best) will be under investigation by that blonde lady.

While Melanie and Derwin are being questioned, Melanie is going to escape and be chased by Regina King and that other cop from TNT’s Southland. She will flee to LA. While in LA, Med-School is going to by a disguise from the party shop owned by Ray Romano in Men of A Certain Age (If you haven’t noticed by know, TNT is where it’s at).

Meanwhile Tasha is going to visit her long time friend who turns out to be that lady from the show Cougar Town. You know? That lady that just divorce her husband in real life and left him a terribly drunken mess. You know? Courtney Cox that use to play on Friends (Which was a show that definitely had a final season finale show conclusion - not saying I’m still bitter about how Girlfriends ended and how The Game got shot down the first time, I’m just saying).

I have no predictions for Jason or Malik, as it seems as though their lives are already over.

Brit Brat will have a reality show of her own. It’s called MTV’s 16 & Pregnant and will be featured on the spin off, Teen Mom 4.

In conclusion, don’t sleep on TNT’s “We Know Drama” Series. Go to sleep on Cougar Town though. And tune in to MTV’s Teen Mom 2 on Tuesdays right after The Game.

I’m just sayin’, I ain’t no Essence or Nike but TNT and MTV should pay me a little something something for name dropping them in my blog because one day I’m gonna have fifty-leven-thousand million readers.

Speaking of reading, they polled America saying that we don’t read. They developed this poll by researching how many people checked out library books and the sales of books in closing stores such as Barnes-n-Noble. People still go to library? If I had the tools, I would do a follow up research on how many people now read from Kindles, Nooks, iPads, download books from mobile apps, and other electronic devices that they didn’t include in that poll. Don’t let them starting making us feel like our intelligence in decline because of the rise of technology. After all, I make it a point to read my newsfeed on facebook every single day.

See What Had Happened Was...

2011-01-12T01:56:00.001-06:00

Over here in 9pm central land, all of my west coastener friends were furious that their attempts to be the first to know what happened on the season premiere of the highly anticipated The Game was ruined because we gave them a play by play analysis of every line via fb updates and tweets. Welp, I plan on doing that here every week. Here's what happened this week. Or at least what I saw from my tv screen.

Melanie aka Girl Melanie aka Med School aka Psycho for her man is still plotting to erase Janai and DJ from Derwin's memory. She quit her residency so she could be a wife. Because we all know female doctors don't have husbands besides Meridith Grey and Christina Yang.

Derwin went from a nobody to a celebrity baller with an endorsement from Nike. He is still corny.

Janai (is that how u spell her name?) and Med-School actually get along and bond momentarily over a purse Essence Magazine gave Girl Melanie.

(Speaking of Nike and Essence - I wonder how much did they pay to have their names dropped on the BET's larger season premiere)

Jason is still cheap and sarcastic. Refuses to play because they aren't paying enough.

Kelly has a new reality show called "Ex-Baller's Wives" which I believe should really be the name of any reality show on television that features mistresses of athletes. She's tatted up, got the snazzy haircut, and is a little crazier than I remembered.

Brit Brat is a bitc...I mean brat. The new Brit Brat is actually a brat. (Jason spoke it into existence and like Inception he planted in her subconscious thus transmuting the nickname into it's physical equivalent)

Malik is headed towards a downward spiral of pitful, his career is on the line and he's having an affair with the owner of the Sabers wife who happens to be Megan Good. Her character's name is irrelevant because we'll just always call her Megan Good anyway.

Tasha, who now represents Derwin, is a cougar and has started smoking black and milds.

TeeTee has gotten smarter, runs a chicken truck, and has a girlfriend.

Mr. 106&Park is cheating on Mrs. 106&Park with Tasha for more airtime. BET couldn't have picked a better time to slap his face on a series with fifty-leven-thousand-million viewers. Thumbs up to BET for the marketing round table discussion that led to him getting that role.

Sherea from The Real Housewives of Atlanta had a 2.5 second appearence as herself. Make that 1.5 seconds.

Chris Webber needs about three more acting classes and he's there

In short, instead of just going to the Maury show, Melanie tested the baby to see if it was Derwin's. It wasn't. Melanie broke the news to him. Then two commercial breaks later, the baby was his again. Melanie didn't tell him...
