"The Game" Returns & Brings the DRAMA!!!!!

After months of reruns on BET, I had anxiously awaited the return of one of my favorite shows, "The Game" on 1-11-11. It was WELL worth the wait, although I had found out virtually EVERYTHING about the 1st episode through internet leaks. I was ready to see what BET would do with the show, after a BIG campaign of commercials and all-day marathons for it on the network. I was happy that the entire cast and crew was back and wanted to see what had happened with the Sabres & Sunbeams 2 years later.

My girl Tasha Mack is still a manager and has made Derwin into a superstar while still mantaining a lovelife with new younger boo Dante (played by 106&Park host and NC A&T alum Terrence J) who she wants to keep a secret because of his age. She has since fell out with Kelly, who is filming a reality show called "Ex-Baller Wives" and proceeding to tell all of Jason's business and spend all of his money. The newfound wealth and fame has definitely gone to her head.

Jason is still up to his crazy antics but this time he is trying to make Kelly look bad by sabotaging her show. I didn't like how they replaced the original Britney and made her a teenager all of a sudden (Wasn't she like 10 years old the last time we saw her??? 10+2 does NOT equal 16). Malik is now going through a mini mid-life crisis because he is not the "$40 million kid" anymore and is pretty much a a**-hole now. He has issues with the new team owner (whose wife he is having an affair with...JUICY!) and can't let go of his ex-assistant (and one of my favorite characters) Tee Tee, who is trying to do his own thing. 

But the biggest DRAMA of all, of course, falls with Melanie & Derwin. She is a wife now & is having a BIG photo shoot with Essence, but as soon as Janay walks in with the baby, it all falls down.She secretly gives the baby a paternity test, but a mistake shows that they baby IS his after she told him it was not. The DRAMA ensues. 

I can't wait to see the drama that unfolds in this season. Some people thought that the 1st episode was disappointing but I am just glad that it is FINALLY back. Can't wait until next Tuesday!!!!!
