I just moved into a new apartment this weekend, so I recap this week's episode of Making the Band entirely from a small plot of room in front of the front door and leaning up against a full length mirror. This is the only spot where I can clearly steal a WiFi signal from the neighbs. So let's get this thing in the can before my butt starts to hurt, shall we?
We pick up where we left off last week after Dawn and Aundrea's meeting with Diddy. Deflated, the last two standing members of the now-defunct Danity Kane schlep out of the room and return to their fancy hotel in defeat. Poor girls! They look so sad! It could be worse though. They could be running miles and miles around Central Park with Diddy following them in a rickshaw. Our girls talk about how it's not fair that Diddy blames them for the downfall of the group, and how they can't make anyone be there who doesn't want to. Dawn says that if D.Woods and Shannon don't return, then the group is officially dunzo. They decide that they must reach out at least one more time and try to get the other girls back. Please cue Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Tuuuhhh-IIIME."
After the opening credits, we come back to Diddy reading his own t-shirt. He explains that he's admiring at his new Sean John logo. As I watch this, all I can think about is that "Puffy is Poison" iRant that many of you pointed out to me and insisted that I watch. I think the reason it is hilarious is because it is so spot-on! I expect for his shirt to burst into acidic flames at any minute simply because he has touched it.
The men of Day26 are moving into a house together. It is a large apartment in a high rise in NYC. They goof around and check out their new pad. They are especially excited because there is a shower head installed about half-way up in the shower stall. As Robert says, "Heh heh, you can wash out your private area!" Yes, because without the lower shower head, you wouldn't ever be able to wash below the waist, Robert. Sometimes I wish Robert were on this show more often. With the types of stuff that comes out of his mouth, it makes my job a WHOLE lot easier.
Then our guys dance and sing the theme song for "The Jeffersons." Okay, is this REALLY how I'm spending the my Monday night? Watching these guys dance around an apartment? I am sitting on a hardwood floor, and my butt feels like it is hurting for no reason except to watch a lot of filler. Can't we cut past all this and get straight to the nut meat? Sometimes I wonder why this show isn't just a half hour. Because that would be PLENTY.
Meanwhile, Will sits down in a Victorian-style phone room and calls his wife on an antique phone. What is with this room? That phone is so old that it should have a crank on it! Is this a reenactment of Charles Dickens' "Prince and the Pauper?"
Will tells us that he has a three-year-old son named Kavion who is his heart, and he really misses him. On the phone, Will's wife (whose name I have forgotten) says she needs a break and should take him. So Will agrees to take Little K for a couple days. We can hear the little monster screaming in the background, and I just KNOW this is going to be good!
Will sits the other members of Day26 down in the kitchen and proclaims that he has good news. "Have you heard the good news?" And here I thought the only people who said that were neatly dressed young men on my front steps with Bible in hand. The good news is that his son is coming to visit. The guys freak out and say it's NOT good news. They all say he's bad. A hurricane, if you will. So here we are, Gasmii. Five men and a baby! All I hope is that Brian grows an awesome '80s Tom Selleck-style mustache.

Glad u enjoyed the irant on Diddy that video got me thinking, Is Diddy the Devil? Everything he seems to touch crumbles into a slow and antagonizing death. Donnie never stood a chance and Day26 watch out, you all have exactly 26 days before you guys are dismanded and never heard from again. LOL
Anyway, Kavion was probably the best thing about this episode. Cute little kids always make these shows so much better and I loved the My Buddy Doll reference.
I really think Shannon might end up coming back, I mean they need to end this season on some kind of high note or just leave a cliffhanger so the next season their on the hunt for a new girl, I don't know. Can't wait til next week where the guys all lose their shit cause Diddy's not paying them suprise, suprise!!!

I'm not sure what "nut meat" is but it sounds vulgar, and I'm interested in adding it to my vocabulary.
Diddy is poison! How long have I been telling everyone that?! I would NEVER sign with Bad Boy...EVER! You have no chance there. Diddy does not care about his artists and this is an industry-known thing. Diddy is more concerend with recording his album full of terrible, autotuned horse shit rather than sucking it up and admitting that he is the reason Danity Kane broke up, the reason Donnie has no fans (Did they do any promotion for him at all?), and the reason any of his other artists come out with 1 single, at most 2, and are never heard from again.
Can you imagine if this show didn't exist? We would have never heard of Day 26, Danity Kane or Donnie they barely play any of their music on the radio, if at all, as it is now!
Danity Kane needs to hurry up and make a decision. I'm over the crying and moping around about the split. Diddy needs to hurry up and make a decision.

Oh my God, that irant was so funny, sadly so true. The whole time I was watching it, I was thinking, yeah, what DID ever happen to Loon??
Thanks for the link!
Plus I remember Max from one life to live!

You're totally welcome for the Puffy is Poison recommendation! When I first saw it I died laughing! I had to tell everyone I KNEW!
This was a great recap! I'm so late getting to it this time around, but it was awesome! Loved it!
