The Game.....2nd Episode

So we start the second episode off on some fracker-nacker-bull. Tasha is having a dream where she is confronted by Kelly. Hold up, we're still continuing with the Tasha is scared of Kelly plot? Why? Moving on.....we come to Tasha apologizing to Kelly while in a restaurant. Is it me or was anyone else offended by Kelly's "your people" comment. Your people? Bish werent' you just in love and acting a plum fool over one of "our" people.......furthermore why do we have Kelly talking and behaving like this? I guess its to set us up for her departure since she will only be featured in six episodes :/ Dang they could've done the chick better than this though...at least let her leave out on a "good" note. Either way I'm glad Tasha and Kelly are back talking.....I missed the three girls doing girl talk or at least I thought I did.

The next scene contained all three girls discussing Melanie's problem.....you know, the fact that she's trifling, took a DNA test on her husband's child and then lied about the results.....that problem. While I was glad to see all three ladies back, the chemistry from the previous seasons was not there. The acting was horrible, the lines were horrible, and the entire plot was just horrible. Three ladies sitting in the living  room topless....who thought of that? It seemed so forced. And while we're on forced...Melanie with the "I hate you girls" line made me cringe. When have they ever said girls.....what happened to bitch? Is that not normally what they call each other? I guess tonight's its suppose to be a comedy with Tasha threatening to shoot Kelly like the old Tasha would and Kelly & Tasha drinking but honestly I find the jokes to be corny and have not laughed once. Also how can I laugh and take Tasha's threats seriously when 1. I've seen Kelly knock Tasha the fuck out and 2. I've seen Tasha avoid Kelly because she was scared. Oh my bad, now we're back to being "bad" Tasha. Can the writers send out a memo? I'm getting confused.

Now we leave the women and the men finally have their screen time. Thank God! I actually laughed a little with the men. You have to admit Malik's "the real Derwin" joke was pretty funny. From this scene we learn that Jason has been dropped by the Sabers. Speaking of the Sabers, why do we never see them? Where are the locker room shots and convos? Why dont we ever see the other players? This is a football show so ummm why dont we ever see, I'on know, FOOTBALL? Anyhoo its pretty obvious Jason is a little bitter and the dimwit Derwin and narcissistic Malik dont make it any better. Jason goes on a television show and literally rips the Sabers apart. I dont know about you but I expected Jason to act a little, I dont know, CLASSY. Obviously these are not the same characters that we fell in love with a few years back. *shrugs* Moving on...

Derwin returns home to find Melanie patching up the wall. My thoughts; arent they like billionaires or something? Why is she fixing the wall? *confused face* but anyhoo the acting during this scene was so horrible that I wanted to fast forward through it. It was as if this was the crew's first acting gig and I know thats not true. Have I been in denial? Has the acting always sucked and I just never noticed? Although this is not an amusing scene I found myself laughing....especially when Derwin comments that Melanie is a "good" girl on the "good girl" list and that she'd never be deceitful or lie.....Has Derwin had one to many concussions in the past two years.....what Melanie is he talking about? The Melanie that I know does nothing but lie. Has he forgotten McHottie, Jerome, her trying to sleep with Malik, her lying and making him think she slept with Malik.....which Melanie is he referring to? Anyhoo a knock comes to the door and there we see an angry Janay. Before we can see what she wants, Melanie confesses that DJ is Derwin's kid and apologizes. Once again the acting during this scene is HORRIBLE.....I know I've said it before but I just wanted to remind everyone.

Janay informs Derwin that DJ is his, that they will be going to court for visitation and that she will be putting him on child support. I think I am the only woman in the world who totally felt Janay. Every woman that I've spoken with has called her a golddigger or another name as if she was the wrong person here. Hellloooo have we forgotten the chick named Melanie and what she did???? Because I am a mom I totally feel Janay. I wish my son's father's wife would do a dna test on him and THEN lie about it. Oh there would be some furniture moving up in this piece. Not only would I have placed him on child support BUT I also would not allow his "wife" around my effin child. You dont do ish like that. Thats trifling. And while everyone is defending Melanie I highly suggest you take two steps back and think about what YOU would do IF this was YOUR child and another woman tried that. You'd be pissed, just like Janay. I know I would. I for one was so happy to hear Derwin tell Melanie that SHE WAS THE PROBLEM. Thank you! How are you gonna be married to a man and then lie to him about something as important as the paternity of his only child? Melanie once again proves that she is selfish and low down. I personally would love to see Derwin divorce her ass and leave her alone for good. Oh and did I mention how horrible the acting was? lol

Next we're forced back to Jason. When did Jason become a hoe? I dont like that look on him. I prefer family man Jason. Oh but wait, the brother has no family. Ok...moving right along then. Jason has a party to celebrate his retirement from the Sabers and his new job on the show entitled Benched. Where do I even began? I laughed so hard at this scene that tears almost fell from my eyes. I didnt laugh because the scene was soooo funny, I laughed because the scene reminded me of LaDainian's Tomlinson's LT Glide......was it a parody????? While watching it all I saw was LT's wack azz song and dance. As a matter of fact while writing this blog I went to youtube and watched LT's video and cracked up all over again.




And now we find ourselves at the last scene and it ends with Melanie and Derwin. Ughhh more bad acting :/ This was the scene that I was waiting for ..... the one that everyone on my twitter and facebook pages were going on and on about. Frankly *yawns* it wasnt that exciting for me. It wasnt as emotional as my followers made it out to be. First and foremost IF I were in Derwin's position I would take the same stance with Melanie. Considering the fact that you lied about my child I would not want you to have anything to do with MY child because apparently YOU dont have MY child's best interest in mind. Damn the fact that she's his wife, I would not care. I would not allow her around my kid. Secondly I totally agree with the church thing. Maybe that's why Melanie and Derwin have so many problems. Derwin is deeply religious and from this episode I gather that Mel is not. How has this worked for so long? Derwin gets up to go to church and you do what, lie in bed? Hell no. I cant get down with that program. If I'm going to church weekly I need to be with someone who is interested in going weekly as well. If you cant  get down with that program then with me is not where you need to be.

Overall the episode sucked......BIG TIME. I held on last week with faith that it would get better but I just do not see it happening. I see Mara and her crew are going to be consistent with the bullshit this season. Its unfortunate for individuals like me who loved The Game and supported it for three years. The acting is horrible, the script is horrible, the plot is horrible. I'd rather BET just go ahead and take it off however I know that is not going to happen considering the ratings that have been pouring in. *sighs* What is a chick to do? Overall grade for this week: D
