TAKE THE CAKE

I have GOT to get this out. Oh my GODDDDDDDDDD. So I somehow was up a few nights ago past my bedtime & saw "Take the Cake" on BET. Tell me why I wanted to throw up? That is the most horrible & stupid, brain dissolving, make you wanna choke the hosts & the people who are playing show. I swear BET is the worst thing that's ever happened to black people. Me & Actor talk about that all the time.

If you've never seen it, how can you not? The commercial to "text in your answer" comes on like 80 millions times a day. But anyhoos, it apparently comes on at 11pm weekdays and the hosts are Toccara (plus sized chick from America's Next Top Model a few seasons back) & Joe Clair (former Rap City & Madd Sports host.) They are the most annoying hosts in history. Thinking about the show makes me mad even now.

Live on a cheap looking set, callers text in the answers to foolish games like "What the blank?" (I think that's what it's called) where you fill in the blank to a sentence & "Word Circle" where there's a word spinning slowly in a circle & missing one letter & you have to guess what the word is, which is so easy it's insulting. There's plenty of other miscellaneous games that by then I was too appalled to pay attention to.

The "What the blank?" game was THE worst. The sentence was ________ game. You had to fill in with stuff that ends with game, like baseball game, for instance. So people were calling in "football" "board" "card" answers which I think were really good answers. But they were all wrong. And I'll be damned if the correct answers weren't "basketball game" "pre-game" "got game" Hold up. Stop the presses. One of the winning answers was GOT GAME. I mean, for real though? Got game. Wowwwwwwwwww. And guess what the number one answer was? A game. I swear to God. It was A game. For $2000 bucks. The answer was A game. Boy am I glad that person learned their alphabets in school...

Besides the fact that Toccara's voice is annoying as hell, she's dancing on the set & spinning some small rims that's on the wall every once in awhile. Cuz that's what the rims are for: to spin. On a game show.

The second most annoying thing on the show is the callers. Tell me why they are so dumb? I mean, they're calling in answers that have already been said. I swear people called in and said soccer game like 5 times, and somebody even said baseball game, which was the example that they used! Pay attention mindless people!

Whoever thought of this show must be secretly part of the KKK. The plan? Humiliate black people & get money from them at the same time. Think about it, it's 99c per entry & you can text up to 10 times per night. Multiply that by however many people are playing and there you have it. Big bucks. The prizes that they give away are probably only 1% of the profit that they are making per night.

Blah. That is all I'll ever say about that show. And I'll never watch it again.
