BET 'Takes the Cake' as We Run for the 'Hills'!

Last night there was a mini blackout (and yes I paid my light bill) in my apartment building making it impossible for me to view the debut of BET's Take the Cake.


And maybe that was for the best.

'Take the Cake' is a game show with hosts Toccarra and "funny man" Joe Clair. It is set to air on weeknights at 11 PM (ET/PT). This late night game show has a unique twist however. Instead of watching someone play and win big bucks this time you the viewing audience can play from home.

How you might ask?

Well what better way to get money out of black people but by fooling them into thinking that they can win more money? If you guessed a scratch card well you were close but that's not it. We the viewing audience are to text our answers to a series of trivia questions posed by the hosts and if selected and our answer is correct then we win. As if black America didnt already have enough issues paying their cell phone bills BET now wants folks to gamble using their cell phones which will ultimately jack up their already high phone bills even higher. I can hear all the disconnect notices now. "The number you have reached..."

But wait..there's more!

BET continues with their obsession of re-gurgatating already existing white shows and simply adding color to make it appealing to black people.


Tonight, Baldwin Hills is set to premiere at 10 PM (ET/PT). Not to be confused with MTV's The Hills or the late Beverly Hills 90210, this unique (yeah right!) show is set in the 'hood' of Baldwin Hills and so we are about to be introduced to 11 rich black kids living in one of the wealthiest majority-Black areas in the U.S.

I dont know about this one. If done well (and thats a BIG if) it could be entertaining. But knowing BET...this too will suck!
