This week on Making the Band, Que obviously has a drug problem, and no one will blatantly say it. But TVgasm will!
Back in the studio with Day26, the guys are recording another slow babymaker. Robert tells us that Diddy has branded them with the "Making the Band" curse, but he's not part of that curse. They are working together on their second album and will defy the curse. They will punch that curse; thus, rendering it a bloody nose. Then they will karate chop that curse in the throat and then drop-kick it Chuck Norris style. The curse will cry like a whiney bitch, but Day26 will not stop until it is destroyed. Will says they are working toward a deadline and need to make sure the album is hot. Then Que leaves. But it's not what you think. He's going to dance practice. Get it? "Dance practice." I don't know why I put that in quotes either. But he just seems so adamant about all this dancing that I'm starting to wonder if it's code for something more scandalous. Like heroin addiction. Or Boy Scout camping trips.
Dawn says it's good that Que is working on his dancing abilities because maybe it will encourage the group to want to become better dancers as well. Dawn is starting to sound more and more like an enabler to me. She keeps encouraging his antics and infusing his mind with all that she learned from Danity Kane. But -- must I say it again!? -- Danity Kane didn't work out! Why take advice from a failure? It's like taking sportsmanship tips from Tonya Harding. Or weight-loss advice from Michael Moore.
When Dawn and Que get home from the dance studio, Will is snoozing on the couch and Brillo is checking his email by electric candlelight. Then wild-eye Que exclaims that the cab almost took off his arm. And then the cab driver got out of the cab, pushed Dawn, breaking her finger, so Que punched him in the face. Brillo looks at the camera, and I can literally see his thought process written on his face. And that thought says, "What?"
Smelling drama, screechy Brian materializes out of nowhere. I swear, that man finds drama like a heat-seeking missile. Getting more heated by the second, Que repeats the story of grabbing the cab door as it's pulling away and almost losing an arm. Dawn interjects saying that the cabbie jumped OUT OF THE WINDOW and knocked her out of the way. Now the cabbie is like a demon or super hero or something because he can leap out of small enclosures and push around several people at once. All the guys are silent, just shaking their heads. Que says they are downstairs with the police now, so Will gets up to check it out.
Downstairs, a faceless cabbie is mumbling about Que grabbing his door. Que says, "you hit my woman, son! My arm is bleeding!" Does anyone else want to see proof of this? I won't believe Que until I see blood, plasma, and possibly stitches. The cabbie tries to explain himself to Brian, but Que continues to interrupt. Then, the cabbie starts crying! Will says it seems like a misunderstanding, and says he wants to calm it down. The guys walks away, and Brillo asks if Que is exaggerating or if the guy really put his hands on Dawn.
The next day, Que asks Brian if he can record his parts in the studio first, so he can go to dance class. Get it? "Dance class." (a.k.a. cheap prostitution ring or sperm donation for money.) He is super jumpy and twitchy, and it is getting pretty clear that this man has been injecting something between his toes. Where's Dr. Drew when you need him? Brian questions Que's priorities, but Que retorts that the producers should respect his schedule.

I do think Dawn is supporting Que's behavior. She not even telling him to stop she's encouraging this shit. I don't know maybe Dawn is Que's drug dealer or something. lol
I am rooting for Brillo, I really want him to succeed. I know Brillo would never diss his group to do some drugs, I'm sorry go to "dance class"
It was nice to see Big Butter speak up for once but I see it didn't help Que is back to the same old tricks next episode. Hey remember Buddha he use to coach them and stuff maybe he need to council Que or something. Great recap Flipit!!!

I'm sorry not Buddha I meant Ankrah, remember him. Ankrah looked like a skinny Buddha. Ankrah could set Que straight.

Que's behavior is starting to look a lot like severe paranoia... he really believes everyone is against him, everyone is out to get him, and people are jealous of him... and he acts on those beliefs... this type of paranoia is the first sign of paranoid schizophrenia, which usually begins for people in their early 20's... just adding a psychological perspective to the discussion... I would not be surprised if he is diagnosed with a severe mental disorder within the next few years... I'm also willing to acknowledge that we don't see everything on TV, but based on what I'm seeing, there is definitely some paranoia there.

Q on making the band needs to be sent home. He was having problems about home. He is the youngest and most disrepectful of the group. This is the best group since the Temptations and they need to do whatever necessary to be just that and better. He will end up bringing the group down.

I think Dawn is all at fault. She's at fault with Danity Kane and now she's manipulating Que. Just like how she manipulated Diddy. She's sooo obviously fake and Que is so obviously on drugs.

I'm baaack!! I couldn't wait for this recap. I withdraw my earlier diagnosis of Que as being bipolar. It's something more alarming. The more I see the show, the more I see how Dawn basically controls Que's actions and enables his behavior. What happened to DK is not happening with D26 (at least not yet), but Dawn is so hell bent on comparing the two groups. Butter's advice to Que was so touching and REAL. Fast forward to the highlights and Que is showing his ass AGAIN. Obviously, they are not breaking up, but I wish Will would beat his ass!!! I know that studio fight is going to prompt some action from Diddy. Again, GREAT RECAP!!!!!

Yes! I think I failed to say it in my recap, but I found Big Butter's speech to be very moving, too. Mostly because he never talks. So when he finally talked, everyone was sure to listen.
This whole season has centered around Que being nuts! Can you believe it?! He's a cash cow!

1 part paranoia + 1 part unemployed Dawn = Crazy Que.
My co-worker thinks Que is cracking under the pressure of having to support his family and Dawn if she remains without a group. Still as wild as Orange there is no DK without she and D Woods. I don't think any of the 5 has the start quality to be a solo artist.
Big Butter crying made me cry too.

Day 26 was on one of our morning radio stations here in Houston on Wednesday and I was SHOCKED because they aren't even played on the radio here. (They were actually in the studio and not calling in.) The DJs asked Que straight out what was the problem and asked if he was on drugs. He denied it, of course, but NONE of the guys wanted to talk about what the "real" problem was. They just said it was something small that unfortunately got filmed and made to LOOK LIKE a big deal. OF COURSE Que had the AUDACITY to blame the editing!!! Not to jump ahead, but there is a total of 4 weeks of this BS with Que (more next week and the next plus last week) so that is quite some editing. Que gave them enough bitchassness for FOUR EPISODES!

Bullshit, that was no damn editing. Que was fighting like for the whole season, how is all that editing? I hate when ppl blame the editing for all negative things they did on tv, u did all that stuff u cannot blame the show for all the show for showing ppl exactly what u did. They probably never going to tell us what really was the problem with Que and he's just going to say he was going through a lot of stuff dealing with his home life. I would actually respect them more if they said Que was on drugs on something and it would make more sense.

I think if Que wasn't on drugs then, he's definitely on them now for schizophrenia, biplolar disorder, anger-management, or somethin'!! Because he's out of control!!! Nobody wants to eff up the money so they'll do what they have to do. Que's own MOTHER could tell he is screwed up. He needs help.

IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE HE BEATS THE SH!T OUT OF HER. THEY SAY DAY 26 WAS ON 106 AND PARK AND QUE CLAIMED TO HAVE BROKEN UP WITH HER. IF ITS TRUE WAY TO GO DAWN BECAUSE THAT DUDE IS GOING DOWN FAST
