The latest new episode of The Game is called “The Negotiation Episode,” and it airs at 8:30pm EST tonight, January 9. Fans of Robin Givens’ appearances as Malik’s PR wife should be happy to learn that she shows up again on this installment, as well.
When it comes to Jason’s situation, it’s the same old same old as he continues trying, on Derwin’s advice, to win his wife Kelly back and prevent their impending divorce. It’s also the same old same old with regards to his attempts because Kelly still remains unsatisfied with her estranged husband’s gestures.
Meanwhile, Malik makes …read more

Everything comes out in the open during this episode of The Game as the three main characters gather for an afternoon swim. As a result, they all learn that Kelly is divorcing Jason, Melanie’s man Derwin has a baby on the way with Janay, and Tasha is sleeping with Rick Fox (couldn’t they have given him a fictional name? — I feel weird writing that).
In fact, it’s Tasha who speaks up and refuses to go along with Melanie’s immature plan to sabotage Janay by dragging her name through the mud. A single black …read more

Yes, there is definitely a baby in the oven during the third-season premiere of The Game. Unfortunately for Melanie, who decided at the end of last season that she still loves Derwin, that baby belongs to her former fiancé and his former girlfriend Janay (Gabrielle Dennis).
As the episode opens and Derwin delivers the shocking news to Melanie, neither can believe it. In fact, Melanie is so suspicious, she makes Derwin suspicious that Janay might be fooling with him to get her hands on some of his money. Never mind that Janay is …read more

DERWIN, still on crutches, drops by MELANIE’s waitress job to give her some mail and also tell her that after what happened the last time they were together, he wants to make sure they can get past it and still be friends.
Melanie agrees they should try, before asking Derwin why he’s not at the Sabers’ championship victory parade. Derwin doesn’t plan to go because he feels he messed up getting injured and doesn’t deserve to. Melanie convinces him he’ll regret not going for the rest of his life, especially since he has every …read more

The Game is really delivering some top-notch guest stars this season, and the May 4 episode will continue that nice trend with no less than star football players Jared Allen, Bradie James, and Kellen Winslow appearing, as well as actress Robin Givens.
Givens plays a new love interest for Malik on “The Lord Givens and the Lord Taketh Away.” A parallel subplot involves Jason, who will turn to his marriage therapist for help with another problem that’s not Kelly.
The Game airs Sundays on The CW at 9pm EST.

Whereas Melanie had to sort out her feelings for Derwin and another romantic interest on the previous episode of The Game, Derwin has to do the same regarding Melanie and a new significant other of his own on the April 27 episode, “Before the Parade Passes By.”
Rick Fox also makes another guest appearance as himself, while Tasha is forced to prove herself at her latest job.
The Game airs Sundays on The CW at 9pm EST.

DERWIN gets hurt during the game leading to the championships when a competitor slams into his knee, and he can’t get out of his funk in order to attend the championship meet in Miami. The trip is all that’s on his girlfriend JANAY’s (Guest Star Gabrielle Dennis) mind, though, to the extent that Derwin ends up telling her to just go without him.
Meanwhile, MELANIE learns of the news as she and JEROME (Guest Star Mehcad Brooks) watch the Sabers game on TV. Jerome seems sympathetic and understanding of why she would/should be worried, …read more

Recurring cast member Lee Majors and occasional guest star Mehcad Brooks both return on the April 20 episode of The Game.
It’s Super Bowl time on “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” and, unfortunately, one of the players gets injured at exactly the wrong time. If that weren’t enough drama, Melanie also has to cope with her feelings for her old significant other Derwin and her new significant other Jerome.
The Game airs Sundays on The CW at 9pm EST.

Heads-Up: This episode is 100% Melanie free.
While out drinking at a club with RICK FOX (playing himself) and a few men, two white and one Asian, from her new job at Irv Smif Management, TASHA gets into a discussion about stereotypes involving different kinds of men and the size of their penis. She proclaims to one of her colleagues, a white man named Lev, that unless he can prove they’re not true, she’s sticking with the stereotypes. So, he flashes her and the stereotypes go “poof!”
The next morning, when all of the booze …read more

If you followed the sitcom Sister, Sister back in the mid to late 1990s, you might sympathize with the experience I have every time I watch the current CW hit The Game. For those who don’t know, the earlier show starred Tia Mowry and her identical twin sister Tamera as reunited identical twins who were separated at birth and raised by different people.
Having watched Tia and Tamera act side by side for so long, it’s no wonder that I can’t help expecting Tamera to show up onscreen at any moment while The Game is on. People magazine recently …read more
