The Bad: BET...This 'Take The Cake'!

So last night I watched the BET's latest game show attempt, Take the Cake.


This has got to be the worst game show I have ever seen! Ever!

As I mentioned yesterday, BET hopes to create all kinds of havoc at Sprint next month when all the idiots who partook in this foolish game show realizes that they can't afford to pay their bills. Because at 99 cents a text and with the hosts encouraging folks to text their answers more than once, you can best believe cell phone services will be cut!

But withstanding that, I couldnt even get through the first 15 minutes of this 'hot ghetto mess'! Toccarra was one annoying mess! All the America's Next Top Model teachings clearly have all gone out the window because Toccarra doesn't exude one iota of class or poise normally associated with 'top' models. I guess that is why she didnt win, huh?

And as for "funny man" Joe Clair, who ever gave him that nick name should be knocked! There is a very thin line between being funny and bafoonery and I do think Joe has crossed that line. At least he did several times over last night.

BET, I need you to really consider pulling this one immediately.

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!
