This week on Making the Band, Que says that Will is selfish and jealous and cannot see past his selfishness and jealousy because he's much too selfish and jealous to realize how selfish and jealous he is. Got that? Me neither. On with the show!
Drama. The beauty of emotions. Standing on the precipice of a turning point.
This episode starts off in slow motion and black and white. And, I, for one, am swept away by the intense emotions that it creates. It's so dramatic that Diddy must have especially hired Steven Spielberg to direct this episode in order to capture the emotional highs and lows. The riveting turmoil that takes place in the everyday lives of our fine heroes and heroines. It's gripping. It's honest. It's gritty.
Who are we kidding? This week is just as stupid as all the others!
Dawn tells us that Que is going through a hard time because he's trying to take care of his sisters and mother and move them to a safer environment. She says they are working ridiculously hard but not seeing the fruits of any of that labor. And what little you do make, you split with four other people. Hmm....four ways...one-fourth? Where is Robert to explain this complex math to us? More ridiculous than how hard the guys are working is Dawn's hat, which has reached an all new level of ridiculousness all on its own. I wonder if she is challenging Robert in a game of Hat Ridiculosity.
Que cries to us, saying that his financial stress has caused him to lash out and do things that are out of character. Not only is he broke, but he is riddled with guilt. It is downright Shakespearean! Dawn tells him not to lash out at the wrong people. He's lucky because he has people who really love him. Please allow me to quote Earnest Hemmingway when he so poignantly said, "Que said nothing." This episode is truly evoking the wisdom of several literary geniuses: Shakespeare, Hemmingway, Suess.
Back from the commercial break, Diddy gives his God-awful toilet water a shameless plug. Although I must admit, I am just a bit curious to know what his cologne smells like. Does "asshatness" have a scent? He tells us that the honeymoon is over for Day26. When you get a record deal, the misconception is that you are instantly filthy rich. But they have to sell a lot more records and do a lot more shows before they'll make money. Pretty much this is Diddy's damage control segment. He wants us to know that the guys are broke, but it's not his fault. How wonderfully transparent!
The men are meeting with Screwface to find out when they'll make the money. Please note that Screwface's real name is "Joseph Charles." You really can't get much more vanilla than that. Oh the irony. Will takes the reins and says that the financial stress is pushing them to the edge. And if they don't start making money, then they're done. Because at the end of the day, you work to make money. And if you aren't making the money, then you start wondering what you're doing here. Agreed! It's a good thing that TVgasm pays me so well! Oh. Wait. All the men glare at Screwface. He says that the reality is that they will have bad times. But he'll make those bad times less bad.

HA! HA! HA! GREAT recap as always! That fight between Que and Will was the dumbest ever! I loved the screenshots of Que being a baby! He acted like he was 5 the entire episode! Why exactly would Will be jealous of Q-tip Que? Someone please help me understand! This recap was more enjoyable than the show. As usual.

I think Que has 2 problems. 1) He seems to be insecure about being the youngest in the group. 2) He is caught up in the DK issuse and he feels like he is Dawn and Will is Orange. Que was always telling Dawn that Orange was jealous of her and that was why she did not get along.
I am tire of Dawn saying that DK broke up because they were always fighting. I don't think that is true. I looked like the two clicks in DK were frienemies and just fronted that they got along. That goes on in the workplace all the time. DK seemed to work hard in the studio and on stage. They worked together when they wanted a different style for their last CD.
Dawn needs to face the fact that DK broke up because Diddy fired Orange and Whatsherface. DK may have been able get out 1 or 2 more CDs before the spit like so many other groups do. Maybe just long enough to get a least 1 real international tour. That could have led to money in the bank and or connections in the music industry. Many former group members go on to become producers, song writers or sign new artist. Like Mike from New Edition did after BBD broke up.

Yeah I don't know what's going on with Que maybe his personal life is causing him to lash out at ppl although Que if your going to lash out at someone don't do it to Will, whose muscles are bigger than your whole body. These ppl must blow all their money on hats cause these hats are getting out of control they even wear them during rehearsal. I'm guessing the rest of the season is going to be more Que drama, Dawn and Andrea just there, and Donnie doing these little gigs here and there as if he wasn't signed to a big record label!!!
