Every Tuesday is Game Day, and you know I have to do my recaps! Let me say before hand, that I know content is light these days on the blog (with really only the recaps up). You know the deal. I will officially graduate from college in.....*checks calendar* 52 days!!!! That being said, my school is making me WORK for my degree, plus outside projects and clubs, so I haven't been able to devote as much time to the blog as I would like. Forgive me....love yall always for reading :-)

Back to The Game! Picking up from last week, Derwin has a get together with Jason, Malik, and Tee Tee to hang out and play cards. Derwin is drinking, which is against his character. So, of course, everyone else wonders what's wrong. Derwin tries to play it off like he should be able to have a drink every once in a while, but then drops the bomb that Melanie can't have babies and walks away. He reveals that the couple is working on options as far as possibly adopting. Tee Tee brightens up the mood when a whole bunch of girls bring over food and get ready to party. 

Over at Tasha's, she and Melanie have a slumber party, with matching pajamas, hair braiding, and all. A guy from room service, Ernesto, comes in with fruit and impresses the girls with his Latin flair and beautiful body. This sparks a conversation about sex, and Melanie asks Tasha how many guys she's slept with. Tasha tells her to pull out ONE post-it, and they will tally them up.

Back at Derwin's, more girls come over and Derwin is a drunken mess. He, of course, is emotional about not being able to have kids with Melanie. Jason tells him that kids are nothing but trouble. Look at Brittany now! But still, like I said in the last post, these two are married and in love. Who wouldn't want to continue that love with a new addition?

Later, Melanie uses up so many post-its on Tasha's sexcapades, it's ridiculous! (83 guys in total!). Of course, Tasha feels like a loose soul. Then Melanie confesses that because she had an abortion with one of the handful of guys she had sex with, now she and Derwin can't have kids. Though Melanie did what she thought was right, she blames herself and believes that, though he doesn't say anything, Derwin blames her too. Tasha comforts her.

Jason eat some of one girl's special brownies, which has marijuana in them. You never trust when somebody randomly brings over brownies! Malik, being sober, tries to settle everybody down. He is annoyed, and realizes that this is the same way he acted when he was drunk or a mess on pills.

Back at the sleepover, Tasha admits that the reason she moved out of Malik's mansion was because she was tired of coming home to a big house by herself. She is closing up shop, becoming celibate.  At that moment, Melanie gets social updates on the party at her house and freaks out, since she thought Derwin was only having the guys over. Tasha tells Melanie that she should allow Derwin to grieve the way he needs to. She also suggests that she should get someone to carry the baby for her. Melanie thinks that Tasha should be the surrogate. Tasha rejects the idea at first, but then says that she could do something meaningful instead of something that she would regret the next morning. As Melanie gets excited, Tasha is really contemplating the decision.

Later, Malik calls Jenna nice and sober, while Jason is high and Tee Tee and Derwin are passed out! Can I say how nice it is to see Malik's growth as a character? He's calmed down a lot, and I hope that when Jenna gets out of rehab, their relationship will be strong.

9:41:00 AM

Picking up from last Game Day, a doctor brings in Melanie and Derwin, and lets them know that the in vitro didn't take. Instead, Melanie is diagnosed with endometriosis, meaning that she will have less than 10% chance of carrying a child to term.

Meanwhile Jason tries to get intimate with Chardonnay, but she refuses to have sex until she is sure that what they have is real. Chardonnay wants to go to Jason's launch party for his show, but Jason refuses to bring her, calling the party a NCZ (No Chick Zone). Of course, Chardonnay is upset and wonders if it's because she's holding out on him.




Back at home, Derwin tries to pamper Melanie to make her feel better. Derwin encourages her and says that they are odd-beaters, and it's possible that they might get pregnant, but Melanie's over it. She doesn't want to get Derwin's hopes up anymore. Derwin says that maybe they should consider adoption, and even look at pictures online, saying "It's like shopping." Ha! I guess....

Later, Melanie and Derwin go to Jason's launch party, and Brittany is there as well. Jason and Summer (Jason's co-host) have clear issues in the beginning, but seem to connect as the party goes on. Malik shows up and sees the pair, and says that deep inside that Jason is still in love with white women. Malik says dating Chardonnay was "beyond the scope of blackness," whatever that means, and Jason really takes offense to it.

Chardonnay later goes over to Tasha's to talk to her about Jason. She wonders if Jason didn't invite her to the party because she hasn't given it up. Tasha keeps it real and calls him a honey badger--he does whatever he wants to whoever he wants. As a retired pro athlete, he's used to getting it in on the regular. Tasha tells Chardonnay that professional athletes can't stand insecure women. If she continues to be insecure in herself and their relationship, they're not going to make it.

Melanie sees a pregnant server, and she and Derwin try to convince the server to give the baby to them. A little joke BET threw in there, but Melanie was dead serious!

Meanwhile,  we see the promo for The Pitts Stop, and the crowd loves it. Jason and Summer admit that they probably have a huge hit on their hands. Summer states that she knows he doesn't like her, but he just doesn't like sharing the spotlight with anyone. Jason kisses her randomly.

Back at the house, Chardonnay tries makes a special night for Jason when he gets home. Jason says he's not sure if it's going to work out. She admits that she knows she is difficult, but it's only to protect herself from getting hurt. She opens up to him, and admits that she likes him so much that she's finally ready to have sex with him.

Melanie comes home drunk since she's not pregnant. Throughout the night, Melanie and Derwin make jokes about all the things Mel can do since she's not pregnant. Both are really emotional that they can't have kids together though. At the end of the episode, they both break down separately. So sad!!! I really want Melanie to have a baby. I don't even think it's to compete with Janay anymore. It's just the simple fact that they are married now, and have been together for so long, they want to have kids together. It's a really emotional situation!


 

7:14:00 AM

Every Tuesday is Game Day! Picking up from last week's episode, Melanie stresses about the fashion show backstage, really wanting to show Tasha up. She finds out that models are missing, and it turns out they're really over at Malik's.

Tasha shows to see it blow up in her face. Melanie purposely gives her terrible seats. Tasha sees Reynaldo out and about with another women, and is in breach of his contract with Tasha, since she paid him for exclusivity in their sexcapades.

Back at his spot, Malik attempts to have a foursome with three of the models, but struggles to perform...down there. One of the girls tries to be deep and give him advice, telling him to dig deep inside himself  and find out what is it that is keeping him from being able to fulfill.


As Tee Tee tries talks to a model back stage, Tasha comes up and tells him what happened with Reynaldo. Melanie overhears the conversation, and jokes about her being dumped yet again, and has security remove her from backstage.  After she is escorted out, Reynaldo approaches her, and offers to fix the situation by smashing for free. Insulted, Tasha walks away.

Backstage, Melanie gets the models in order, Though the event is for charity, she's mainly worried about redemption and beating Tasha. As Jason requests a mike check for his solo (who came up with that brilliant idea???), the mikes are turned on. Tasha accidentally yells into the mike that she is officially done paying Reynaldo for sex, causing Tasha to be embarrassed and run out of the show. Melanie runs after her, attempting to comfort her. Tasha rejects it. Derwin ends up locking them both in the bathroom, trying to get them to reconcile.

Later, Malik goes to the rehab house, looking for Jenna, because he realizes that she's the reason why he can't respond to other women. He's in love with her. He doesn't want to mess things up with her, but wants to know if he should wait for her, or let it go. Jenna admits she wants to be with him, but realizes that it's unrealistic to ask him to wait, and gives him permission to "spread his wings," his legs or whatever else. Here's hoping that Jenna gets well soon, and Malik can finally have a stable relationship.

Still locked in the bathroom, Tasha states that Melanie thinks she's better than everybody else, while Melanie thinks that Tasha's just the typical mean girl. Tasha says that Melanie always has some excuse to justify her actions, like firing her, and calls her a b*tch. Melanie lets it out that Tasha is a condescending bully, and also a b*tch. Tasha slaps her, and Melanie slaps her back, and as Tasha takes off her earrings, Melanie takes off into the bathroom (because we ALL know Melanie can't fight, even Melanie!). Tasha says that this is just like her,  that she's too afraid to admit her wrongs and runs away from her problems, which is why Melanie never apologized for what she's done to Tasha. It hit me at that moment, that WOW. Melanie never did say sorry, and that's all Tasha really wanted. Melanie realizes that as well, and breaks down into tears and admitting that she misses Tasha, and trying to apologize, though her sobs get in the way. Tasha sheds a few tears herself, and grabs Melanie in a hug, saying, "We ain't friends. We family. With family, you don't have to say it. You just gotta mean it." Finally the reunion I've been looking for!!! It's great to see them back together

Meanwhile, Malik goes back to the models after speaking to Jenna and is READY. In every sense of the word!

After the show, Melanie reenacts how the fashion show was supposed to go for Tasha, with their relationship fully restored. When Tasha tells Melanie, "Work it b*tch!," Melanie asks her to stop using the B-word. Tasha agrees, and comes up with a new term of endearment--ratchety dame! Oooookkk...if it works for them, I guess it's cool. I won't be using it anytime soon, but it's just nice to see them back being friends. All of this fighting back and forth was getting tiring to watch!

Next Game Day: Chardonnay and Jason have yet to have sex. Is that going to make Jason revert back to just white women? (Side note: Is that saying, BET, that white women are easy? I have to watch the episode to see how things play out, but if it looks like I'm right, I'm going in).

 

7:37:00 AM

It's Friday, meaning Jersey Shore recaps! Picking up from last Jerzday, Mike sits Jionni down "as a man," and tells him the rumors about Mike and Snooki are true. Jionni thanks him and shakes his hand, but doesn't believe it for a minute. When he tells Snooks, she is annoyed and has a small confrontation with Mike, but, all in all, they go about their business. 

After Snooki and Jionni leave to hang out on the boardwalk, Mike tells the guys what happened. Jionni and Snooki are both relatively calm about the situation, causing the guys to get suspicious. Pauly thinks that Jionni doesn't care because he's hooking up with other girls on the side since he stays in all the time supposedly.

Later on at family dinner, Snooki proposes going camping. It's hard to imagine the cast going camping, with Pauly even saying it's not a guido thing. A bit after, Mike starts a food fight that turns personal between him and Snooki. Of course, Snooki has some pent up frustration about Mike telling Jionni that they hooked up, which Snooki claims is untrue. Sigh...at least this stupid mess is over. I stick by what I said from the very beginning. I personally think it did happen, because Snooki is TOO angry about this for it not to be true, but WHO CARES ANYMORE? That supposedly happened a year ago before they went to Italy. 

At the last day of work for the Meatballs and Ronnie, they talk about the camping trip. It's clear with the guidettes bringing tanning lotion and shampoo that they have no idea what they're in for.

After work, Deena calls Joey up to go get a bite to eat on the boardwalk. Deena feels like she's surrounded by couples, and she's tired of being single. She may just be rushing into a relationship because of it. Pauly and Vinny sit her down and have a hilarious conversation, yet being truthful. Joey doesn't deserve her. When Joey calls, Pauly tells him that Deena is sick, and Joey gets mad that he came all the way over here instead of wanting to see if Deena is all right. Jenni gets on the phone and puts him on blast, telling him essentially that he doesn't need to call anymore. That's family love right there!

Later that night, Deena wants Snooki to go out with her and cheer her up, but Snooki opts to stay home with Jionni, hurting Deena's feelings. Deena feels like ever since Snooki got into a relationship, she's made that a priority above their friendship. That's an age-old gray area. I understand where Deena is coming from, because you should always make some time for your friends. But also, you have to make time for your boyfriend as well.

MVP go to Aztec, while the rest of the house (minus Snooki and Jionni) go to Jimbo's. Deena vents her frustrations about Snooki not being there for her to Jenni.

The next day, Pauly and Vinny decide not to go camping, while the rest of the house rolls out. However, the two just wanted to stay home to pull a massive prank. They decide to put the house inside out, literally moving the furniture inside outside, and the outside furniture inside. They recruit Danny and a few employees to help them out, especially since Danny wants to get back at the Meatballs for leaving and being late for work all the time! Danny and his crew astroturf the inside of the house to make it look like the roof, and they pull the rest of the outside furniture inside. Good prank gentlemen!

While Pauly and Vinny put their elaborate plan into action, the rest of the house heads to the woods. At nightfall, Mike gets paranoid that there's somebody out there watching them. By the fire, Deena tells Snooki how she feels, and Snooki is upset that she's so hurt. The next day, you can tell that everybody needs to get home. Spiders and other insects are everywhere, and people are freaking out, getting annoyed with each other.

Back at the house, Pauly and Vinny chill in their inside jacuzzi (aka baby pool), and wait for the housemates to arrive!

Next Jerzday is the season finale of the Shore! And before that, at 7:30 p.m. ET, Snooki is going to come on and talk about her pregnancy/engagement which she confirmed to MTV a few days ago! Congrats Mama Snooki!!!

Every Tuesday is Game Day, and every Wednesday I bring my recaps on The Game (I know I'm late)! Picking up from last week, Derwin approaches Janay about her engagement, and Janay tells him she has no plan to cancel her wedding. Honestly, Derwin really has no reason to be upset, other than the fact that he may still have feelings for Janay. Hmmm....

Later, Janay confronts Melanie about her telling Derwin. Janay states she had a moment of weakness in trusting Melanie. Mel is determined to make it right, mainly because she still wants Janay to be her "friend."

Read more below!

At the Drop Bar, Tasha's escort friend Reynaldo goes up to her and sparks a conversation. Malik walks up and questions him about what he does, and Reynaldo tells him that he's a relationship therapist. (Side note: In that moment, I realized that Hosea Chanchez (who plays Malik) and Carl Anthony Payne (Reynaldo) look dead like brothers!) Anyways, Tasha and Reynaldo go back to Tasha's apartment. Reynaldo wants to spend more time with her, and he is cool with just talking. However, Tasha takes it to the next level, with the couple spending the night together. The next morning, Reynaldo refuses to take her money, telling her this time was on the house.

Later, Derwin and Melanie go out for dinner and drinks, and Melanie surprises Derwin with Noah, wanting the guys to hash it out. Noah sits down and talks to Derwin about who he is, since Derwin is so against him being around DJ. The conversation gets a little heated, especially since Noah believes that perhaps Derwin may still be harboring feelings for Janay. When a guy starts filming the altercation, Noah bumps him, breaking his phone, which Derwin appreciates, and they walk back over to Derwin's table to finish their conversation. Later, when Melanie calls Janay to tell her she fixed everything, they make plans to go shopping for Janay's wedding dress.

Tasha heads to the Drop Bar to see Malik, and see Reynaldo soliciting a woman. Malik confronts him, since he doesn't know Reynaldo is an escort and believes he is cheating on Tasha. As they walk away, Malik  makes Tasha throws a drink in his face.

Later, when Melanie is supposed to meet up with Janay, Janay is nowhere to be found. Melanie ends up seeing her walking with a bunch of friends after going shopping. Janay "forgot" to tell Melanie that she was hanging out with them. Melanie believes that after fixing things between Derwin and Noah, Janay should have been a little happy to hang out with her. However, Janay thinks Melanie is hanging around  Janay thinks that she is a threat to her and Derwin's relationship, since Janay has his child. While Melanie has his heart, Janay hits her with a low blow, saying "That's all you can have." Melanie walks away.

At the end of the episode, Tasha decides that she wants to pay Reynaldo for exclusivity in the entire San Diego area, meaning that he can only be with her close to home.

Later, Derwin decides to go out with Noah. Melanie comes to the realization that she doesn't have any friends, and has a short cry into his shoulder. Seeing that Mel is upset, Derwin cancels with Noah and decides to take his "bestie" on a spur-of-the-moment trip to Vegas.

Next Game Day is the Sunbeam Fashion Show! Melanie really wants to hit Tasha where it hurts by putting together an amazing event. Seeing Reynaldo with another woman, Tasha puts her own business out in the open, by accidentally yelling into the microphone that she is not going to pay Reynaldo for sex anymore!

Brandy and Monica have officially dropped their video for their collaboration "It All Belongs To Me!" Can I say again how much I LOVE THEM! Brandy and Monica are two of the best vocalists in the game, and to see them working together again is great! I love the song, and the video definitely went along with the message of the song! And the pair looked AMAZING!

The duet, produced by Rico Love, will appear on Monica’s seventh album New Life coming out April 10, and Brandy’s RCA/Chameleon debut Two Eleven, coming this June.

Check out the vid for "It All Belongs To Me" after the jump!

Picking up from last Jerzday, Snooki and Vinny come back from their little date, and Pauly jokingly gets jealous! 

Deena has a thing for this kid Joey, even though he cancels on her last minute to go to Jenks. MVPD go out to Jenks, while the rest of the house stays home. Pauly randomly sees Angelina (who we haven't seen since she left on Season 2) says hi and keeps it moving. Unfortunately for Mike and Pauly, by the end of the night, their DTFs don't work out (Mike's girl is shy, and Pauly's girl has her monthly visitor!) What a shame.

The next day, Mike orders breakfast for the whole house. He doesn't have money to tip the delivery boy, and no one else in the house has any cash on them, so he gives the kid a protein shake mix. Later on in the day, it's revealed that Jenni and Roger are celebrating their one-year anniversary, and she wants to go all out for him. She heads to a sex store with Sam and Deena to set up a "romantic" night for him. In the car, Jenni and Sam voice their concerns about Deena messing with Joey. Deena is sick to death of hearing everybody talk badly about him, but maybe they have a point.

Later, Snooki, Ronnie, and Mike head to work, and Mike surprisingly wants to work. Meanwhile, Vinny and Pauly go out on a date. They complain about everybody being in a relationship. You're not supposed to fall in love at the Jersey Shore, and they are sick of it! Back at the Shore Store, Ronnie and Snooki go on break, while Mike stays behind to make a call to the Unit to set Snooki up.

While Jenni plans to use the smush room for her night with Roger, Pauly and Vinny steal the bed so it won't be used  for "couples' retreat". Sammi catches them in the act. They try to disguise the bed on the balcony. Jenni comes in and sees the bed missing and freaks, but it was a good prank. Jenni gets the bed back in, and decorates it with rose petals and all that. Roger comes and sees what all Jenni did, and loves it.

Later the crew goes out to Karma, and Snooki sees Jionni's parents. Meanwhile, Mike has invited the Unit to spill the beans to Jionni. I can't wait until this whole drama is over. It's not even interesting to me anymore.  Mike meets Jionni's family, and doesn't want to present the truth around them, because it will be too messy. Like this situation isn't messy enough. When Mike and Unit runs into Jionni, Snooki decides to leave with him before they have the chance to start anything.

Deena becomes annoyed with Joey, confronting him about whether he likes her or not. He tells her she can believe what she wants to believe. Eventually Deena walks away, only for another girl to come up and Joey tells her not to worry about Deena. Jerk off.

By the end of the night, Unit is really drunk, which messes up Mike's plan a little bit. What's worse is that Unit gets arrested for public intoxication. Mike himself admits that every time he plans to tell Jionni the truth, something happens. Maybe that should tell you something Mike. However, the next morning, when Mike calls around to ask about Unit, Jionni happens to be up while Snooki is still sleeping. Mike sees this as the PERFECT opportunity to tell Jionni that Mike hooked up with Snooki while they were together.

Next Jerzday: All hell breaks loose with Mike and Snooki! Joey comes to see Deena. And the house goes camping. Lord...

I have to say congrats to Snooki and Jionni! Snooki is supposedly pregnant with her first child! Crazy to picture her as a mom, but I'm sure she'll take care of her Baby Meatball just fine. And shoutout to Pauly D, whose new show, The Pauly D Project, premieres March 29th. YEAH BUDDY!
