He's Fake, She's Fake,

I have been watching the fourth season of BET's critically acclaimed series The Game. For those who are unaware of the show it was written as a spin-off of the highly successful show Girlfriends. The Game aired its first three seasons on The CW Network being cancelled in May 2009 only to be brought back two years in January 2011. I was furious about the first two episodes but things have gotten better since then. So what has been going on?




Marion Pooch Hall Jr. aka Derwin Davis is now the superstar of the San Diego Sabers he is pulling big numbers on and off the field. At this point he has money to blow he and girl Melanie aka Med School are doing much better it seems as though they are starting to enjoy marital bliss. Then again I think the money is going to Melanie's head but who could blame her and Janay isn't going anywhere any time soon. Everything around Derwin has changed including his friendship with teammate Malik Wright.

 Hosea Chanchez aka Malik El De barge Wright is spinning out of control he has become addicted to alcohol, pills, and is having an affair with his boss's wife. Malik has burned his bridges with family and friends he has continued to ridicule and mock his former best friend Terrence aka Tee Tee about money and sleeping with his girlfriend. Recently he was arrested for drunk driving and assaulting a police officer but was released from jail right after the incident occurred. I hate what the writers have done with this character just two years ago Malik was becoming a man and he began to grow. Malik moved out of his mother's house, fell in love and wanted to turn in his player's card, found his long lost father and began to bond with father and his little sister Poochie.





Now he has become an egotistical jerk losing his way in life. On last week's episode of The Game Malik asked Derwin to appear at a press conference so the media and fans could see that Derwin is and still remains Malik's true friend and positive influence. Derwin was told by Tasha Mack, Melanie, and all his endorsers not to talk on the phone with Malik or be seen in public with him. Jason used this incident as a way to receive high ratings on his sports talk show but even he realized Malik is headed in the wrong direction and needs help. So Jason turned on Malik, Melanie turned on Malik, his own mother Tasha Mack turned on him, and now his one true friend Derwin left him hanging. What's next?
