It began with Derwin walking through a barrage of photogs snapping pictures of him on his way to his photo shoot with his wife Melanie for the cover of a magazine. So I’m assuming after two years Derwin is now the “big man on campus,” oh gah. Anywho, Melanie and Derwin’s baby mama seem to be getting along just fine, even though at the end of the last season, Melanie didn’t seem to like the idea of Derwin having a child with another woman one bit. We soon find that this is a front that Melanie has put up for Derwin, and that she secretly thinks the other woman is out for what he and Melanie have (i.e., fame, fortune, the perfect life).
Then, we have Malik who is banging the the team owner’s wife, with no regard to when or where they, aheem, get it on, may it be the mens bathroom sink at a club, or the hot tub at Malik’s ridiculously lavish crib. It only gets worse from there people!
Kelly and Jason are at each others throats the entire episode, with each one trying to sabotage the others career, character, life, you name it. Kelly has some ridiculous reality television series about life after her divorce from her overbearing and frugal husband. By the way, they’ve also changed the daughter Brittney, or Brit Brit, to some skanky looking teenager with an attitude. Jason is trying his hand at sports casting, but is so cynical and irritating that I see that won’t last long. Oh, but it gets worse.
Tee Tee, Malik’s cousin/b**ch, has his own, wait for it…wait for it…chicken wang restaurant on wheels, whom he co-owns with his new love interest. The love interest, who seems interested in TeeTee, eventually falls for Malik after, oh maybe, one day in sitcom time, and ends up in Malik’s hot tub.
Oh wait, there’s more, Tasha, the new cougar on the block, has fallen for 106 & Parks own Terrence J, who may well be 15 years her junior, if not more.
The show is rounded out by the lie of the century, told be Melanie, who has given baby DJ a secret paternity test. After Melanie’s friend tells her the baby isn’t Derwin’s, she doesn’t really hesitate to tell Derwin the truth, and causes a rift in their relationship. When she finds out that the test is inaccurate, she decides to spare Derwin the details, in hopes of keeping the baby mama at bay. Oh Melanie, when we will learn, lying never helped anyone.
Well, all in all, I wasn’t surprised that the creators took the show in a more raunchy direction, but I am surprised at the great lengths they went to, to make blacks look even more ignorant than they are already portrayed on other television shows (i.e., Cops, America’s Most Wanted, The First 48… I could go on for days). Mara and Salim, I am hoping that you turn this show around, and fast, or you may lose a long time viewer.
