The Game: Dating Ups and Downs, Plus Serena Williams!
What'd you think of last night's episode of The Game? We felt like the show got a little off track this week. Sure, we loved watching the gang date new people (including guest star Serena Williams!), but the huge Kelly/Jason rift of last week was just a blip on the show's radar -- and last week's episode left us hanging! Here's hoping the show picks up their story next week. In the meantime, the feuding pair took a backseat to Malik, Derwin, and Mel's dating ups and downs, which were also a lot of fun.
First, there's Derwin. He just isn't having much luck as a single guy. But it's kind of his fault -- he's trying to be Malik, and the player ways aren't working for him. Last week, that girl in the club saw right through his champagne and smooth talking, and this week's not much better. Just as Derwin finally gets closer to his latest lady, he lashes out at her when he hears about her dating history. Hasn't he learned by now to stop hiding behind the tough-guy facade? Until he can be real with the women he dates, Derwin's not going to get very far.
Mel, too, is dating, but not very enthusiastically.
She's not too excited about her date with Jason and Kelly's pal Chad, and it only gets worse when he tells her she was pre-approved. Hey, he's a busy guy -- he doesn't have time to screen dates! Mel bristles at that, telling him that she's just as busy -- she's in med school! And she works at a diner!
Meanwhile, Malik scores a date with Serena Williams, but she's so high-maintenance she makes Mel look laid-back. Before you can say "thirty-love," Serena's putting all her efforts into classing up Malik's image. His jeans-and-bling attire is replaced with a sleek suit, and his pals don't make the cut for this new look and lifestyle. Serena really crosses the line when she tries to take over Malik's charity efforts at a Sunbeam meeting, infuriating Tasha.
What'd you think of the episode? Did you miss Kelly and Jason's heavier issues? What'd you think of Serena Williams on the show? And whose dating storyline was the most entertaining?
