Okay everybody, I know I've been neglecting BET's TV show, The Game but I have not forgotten! I have, in fact, been watching every episode but couldn't find the courage to write a piece on the show because of poor material. BET, in my opinion, has made this season overly dramatic, ghetto and random. However, last night's episode was definitely a favorite.
Death Becomes Her, the name of the episode, shows Tasha Mack in a whole new light. Of course, a man had to do with that! Bo, currently fighting a battle against Cancer, has come into Tasha's life suddenly and left even faster! Melanie and Derwin discuss starting a family but for all the wrong reasons and Malik still bathes in his depressing ass life!
Starting off with Tasha and Melanie discussing their current lives over cocktails(or in Tasha's case, some Heem & Coke. See? That's the "typical ghetto-ness" I'm talking about!) Tasha notices Melanie's attention is elsewhere(texting Derwin). Tasha then tells Melanie to leave and be with her man. As Melanie exits, an unfamiliar face approaches Tasha and blatantly expresses how his evening with Tasha should be spent...(; However, his approach was so unimpressive and very disrespectful but hey, I'm old fashioned! =/ It then flashes to the two running in their underwear in the middle of the street, definitely a WTF moment!
As we get into Tasha's spur-of-the-moment love fest, we learn that Bo is dying and lives life down to each second. Tasha is inspired and chooses to follow his lead..creating an amazing "Bucket List" which includes riding an elephant in India and spending a night with Keith Sweat! (Loved the entire Bucket List idea & definitely loved Tasha's list! Thinking about creating my own! Hmm...) Meanwhile, the Davis' are at home timing ovulating cycles and fertilizing and sperm counting, etc...but they are totally and completely off and not in sync! Derwin explains to Melanie that she will have to wait for his loving...but the WAY he said it..."I promise, when I get home...Ima give it to you real good!" had me WEAK! LOL, excuse that! (; Y'all know Derwin is my M-A-N though!
Derwin then leaves Melanie's side and tends to Malik's. Malik who is drowning himself in his own sorrows gives in and decides to attend a conference with Derwin and the owner, Rahj(Micheal Beach) Now, the question is...Why is Derwin really doing this? Is it to save his own career or is he a honest and loyal friend? I must say, Derwin was definitely trying to save Malik's sorry ass during that meeting, but Rahj made a simple yet powerful statement, "You have a wife, don't you Derwin?"(Beach did an excellent job on last night's show! Bravo to him!) and silence cuts like a knife! Rahj explains how he will keep Malik on the team yet play him like a second string qb! Cold world but Malik deserves everything coming his way! Karma is a BIABIA!
While Malik struggles in his life, his mama sure doesn't! Handing out device like a real Buddhist, Tasha finds Melanie in her need-a-baby stage and advises her to slow down.(Why is Melanie so desperate to build a family or as she says, legacy anyway? Tacky!) "Take it easy. All you gotta do is make mad, romantic love to your husband and if a baby comes the so be it. Everything in it's own time"-Tasha. (Absolutely LOVE her quotes!) Later that evening though...she lived LIFE! (; Being escorted into a room by Bo, Tasha is blindfolded only to reveal a candlelit dinner set for two. Not impressed and bored, Tasha tells Bo it was unlike him and BAM, Keith Sweat shows up serving Jumbalaya! (I thought Bo was too dope for bringing in Mr. Sweat via Tasha's bucket list! &YESS, Keith still got it ladies! #MajorSwag!) Extremely wu'd, Tasha and Bo creep off into the night side by side! MHM!
Now Tasha ain't the only one getting some in San Diego! Derwin and Melanie finally decide to stop having let's-have-a-baby sex and decided to make love! Although the "creating a legacy" plan did pop-up! But, Derwin kept mentioning his legacy and his kids...what's up with that?
After all the commotion, Melanie and Derwin are found laying side by side thinking of their future together and laughing in each other's presence! I thought that was so cute and absolutely fell in love with this episode because of that! I missed the love and affection this show used to display. FINALLY some real romance on this show! But I must admit, when Melanie screamed, "Put a baby in me Derwin!"...WTF Moment!
We end the show with Tasha waking up alone, of course. Yet she finds an envelope with a handwritten note that read, "Sorry you never made it to India", accompanying the note was a jade elephant necklace! (Again, Bo is sooo dope for that. & I must say, if a man EVER writes me a handwritten note and/or letter...he will have my heart!)
Overall, it was a good show and I cannot WAIT until next week's episode! (: Don't miss! It's the FINALE! (:(:(:
