Making the Band opens this week with Miss Dimples herself, Aundrea, recapping the entire season for us! Among the highlights, she mentions: bitchassness between the boys, Orangebrey getting bitchass drunk, DK becoming veterans of the music industry at the ripe old age of bitchass, the boys bitchassing water and flour all over their room, Robert bitchassnessing D.Woods, the bitchassness between Brillo and Orangebrey, Dawn and Q putting bitchassness aside and getting it on, Denny was hired...and the boys treated him with bitchassness.
Got all that?
All right, onto the finale! It's a MONSTER of an episode, so I hope your brought your attention span!
HOUR ONE
All three groups are meeting with Atlantic Records to talk about marketing and promotions for their records. We learn that the feedback on the ladies' album has been wonderful all across the board. Okay, now here we actually get to see DK flex their business muscle. They do seem to be quite savvy and have brought a list of demands. They want to know their scheduling ahead of time, so they can be prepared. And they want everyone they're meeting with (radio stations, et al) to have heard their song before they go on. Makes sense to me. The boys, on the other hand, have nothing to contribute. Instead, they just appear bored and unengaged, per usual.
By the way, I love how all the top Atlantic execs have enormous -- and completely drained -- Starbucks venti frappuccinos in front of them. I guess that must be what it takes to make them look alive. The boys should take note.
Harve Pierre (president of Bad Boy) tells the guys to listen to the girls and let them help them with the business. The girls are a good resource, and the boys should try to tap their brains -- not just their asses. The girls giggle with delight.
Danity Kane kicks off their promo tour with our old friend Miss Jones at Hot 97 FM. Ugh. This lady annoys the shit out of me. I know that we, here, at the Gasm like to be snarky about things and poke fun of everything that moves. But there is a total difference between snarkiness and the mean-spirited tearing down of people. Miss Jones is a lady who subscribes to the second school of thought. And, what's worse, is that she's totally one of those catty females who is WAY harder on girls than boys. Come on, women! We got to stick together! Why must we make it harder on one another?
Okay, now that I have that off my chest, obviously the girls are a little nervous being back here. The first time they visited her, she blatantly laughed at their singing skills. The second time, yes, our girls were quite unprepared, but Miss Jones really gave them a hard time, saying that only three of them could sing. Barf.
Miss Jones first starts in by attacking Dawn and inquiring about her relationship with Q. Dawn reiterates that she's just having fun and not in a a "relationship." Dawn says that she's getting to know Q, to which Miss Jones' sidekick Michael Shawn retorts, "Aww that's what you call it? We call it sex!" Again, barf. Luckily, our Dawn snaps back, "Well if that's what you callin' sex, then you need a little bit more than that cuz I ain't givin' that up. You gotta work harder than that to get that."
But Miss Jones swiftly moves on and asks Orangebrey straight up if she was pregnant and/or sleeping with Diddy. She denies both rumors, obviously. I mean, if you really had to make a serious confession like that, why would you ever announce it on MISS JONES? (Have you guys noticed yet just how much I can't stand this lady?)
The girls then sing a part of "Damaged," and it sounds great so Miss Jones goes nuts. She loves it and claps for them. Finally! They've defeated the great Jabba the Hut!
Because the boys still don't have a name, Miss Jones asks DK what to call them. So Dawn says, "Who cares?" and they all laugh. Uh oh...hope that doesn't come back to bite them in the butt...but it totally does later in the show.

Great recap!
That was it, that was the big announcement??? I was hoping for so much more than that.
I can't get the song Damaged out of my head. I really like it. I have not heard the guys song at all on our local radio stations.
Seven's mouth kind of looks like Kanye West's in that screencap.
Also, I noticed Aubrey said she agreed with Diddy that she needed to lay off the makeup, so why hasn't she? The black around her eyes has got to go!
