I centered my whole evening around this show. I made it a point to be glued to my TV between 7:00 and 8:00 central time. [I also had to catch Everybody Hates Chris.. I will touch on that one later].... That will be an hour of my day that I will never get back...
The Game's History: Now, I LOVED the first season. Melanie's and Derwin's relationship, Tasha's and Malik's mother and son bond, and even Jason's and Kelly's super marriage all made the show. That season finale from Season 1 kept me on the edge of my chair every night waiting for the premiere. I had that episode saved on my DVR all up until the season premiere came on and even then I was hesitant about deleting it. It was just something about that closing scene that made me want to scream 'Girl Power'.... lol It wasn't until I actually saw the Season 2 premiere that I started to question my love for the show. Season 1 ended with a bang, but Season 2 started with a bucket of ice water and a couple of firefighters packing up their truck as if leaving a fire that they just put out. It seemed so fake the way Melanie stormed up to those girls and the way she acted leaving the hotel was straight for TV. Now the Season 1 finale was real and thatw what captured my attention. Don't get me wrong... I LOVED The Game even when they shot that promo during an episode of Girlfriends. So they will always have a place on my DVR..
The second season was ok. After the season premiere, my interest sort of drooped. I still have yet to watch all of them. [I may catch the episodes that can be viewed online] The season was worth watching all up until Derwin did a complete 360 and was through with Melanie. Now that is just something that I don't understand. This boy went to the ends to get her back, then just out of no where BAM!! he is done with her and went the next chick. I think once the writer's talent left so did the viewership...
Anywhooo.. The second season had it's falls. I watched the Season 2 finale, but since I was not all up in the season I was not that into it.. It pretty much ended with Melanie now realizing that she still loved Derwin, Malik getting married to Robin Givens [who may or may not be on the show this season since she did not appear in the season premiere], and Jason announcing that he never loved Kelly in the beginning [Now that right there spun me for a loop cause I NEVER seen that one coming]...
I had an urge to watch the Season 3 premiere but that was only cause it was the premiere. And who wants to miss those? No one, indeed. {I just had a flash back to Terry Crews when he used to flex his chest muscles to that...lol HILARIOUS!!! Ok, back to The Game} But this premiere was a BIG let down. Ok, first Melanie ran over to Derwin's apartment and attacked him like a lil hoe. Now I understand that they was in a long serious relationship but dang girl have a lil class. Then when his future baby mama left the apartment, the way Melanie acted was so TV. I mean, really, who is writing this episodes?? Kelly's mom and step-paw was WAY over the top. Their class must have went out the window with Kelly's female upper parts.. They was definitely the bottom of the barrel.. And Malik and Tasha [trying to think of something else besides shaking my head].... Ummm.... How he is carrying on his ridiculous. I understand, make him afraid of his mama so boost the ratings but come on now, give the dude a lil backbone..
And the way Melanie held in those tears when she found out that Derwin was really going to be a daddy, p-lease... She should have told him how she really felt cause all that will do cause trouble. But I guess that is what they want. I don't know, I guess I am a more realist so of course I will want to watch a show that was also real. The Game tonight was strictly TV... And when Melanie walked in to the PR's apartment, I just knew that the PR and Melanie's ex had something going on. After all the chick was in a bra and a bottom, but I guess not. Now that would have been some much needed semi-real life drama...
I am happy though that Melanie and Derwin are back together.. I am just not sure how long it will last...
All in all, I was very disappointed with this season's premiere. The acting was sub-par and the writer's should be shot... But of course, I will watch it only because I am a beginning fan, but they have to do better...
Coming soon.... Everybody Hates Chris.. but for not very long...
Stay tuned!!
