Back in New York, Dawn is bellyaching. It's snowing, of course. Dawn tells us that she used to feel like Danity Kane could make it work. She still wants what they had in the beginning when it was fresh, and they dreamed big. She's proud for doing everything she could to make things work, but now she's looking forward to moving on. Vibe Magazine wants to do a photoshoot with her. Normally, she tells us, she wouldn't take it, but she's going to try it out to see what it will be like to be on a set alone. She shows up and looks very excited. The shoot is for Vibe's "April Vixen Page." The editor tells her that they will focus on her great legs. (RE: she'll be wearing a swimsuit.) Dawn's happy because Que is there and because she is taking her first steps to moving on.

I gave the gals a Brillo crotch shot, so this ones for my guys out there.

But Que is confused. He says that he's pretending like he's happy, but he wants to be on the cruise. He's worried he'll never get a "time in." He feels like he lost his brothers, and he's realizing that all the fighting wasn't worth it. Sounds like the barbituates are finally wearing off.

It's sunset on the cruise, and the guys are headed to rehearsal for their show. Big Butter says it's hard doing the formations without Que and that the routines don't look right with four people. Robert says they are just winging it and are messing it up. I think this screencap best sums up this whole scene, so here you are:

A picture is worth a thousand blundered dance steps.

Brillo is the opening act. He moves around lacklusterly and just kinda walks around on stage. The crowd isn't bad. I wonder what happened to all the dance moves he was working on. And, of course, I'm waiting for him to casually remove his shirt at the end, but it never happens. That part always makes me want to climb out of my own skin, so his performances always make me very tense. I love me a shirtless Brillo, but he removes it with a creepy dead-eye stare...it's just weird.

Finally Day26 takes the stage as four members. They seems ok, I guess. Maybe a little sloppy, but I don't know if that's because of a lack of Que. Maybe it's just because they're on a moving boat. Anyway, they make it through, but as if they wouldn't. When they introduce themselves, Will points out that Que couldn't be there.

Performing on a cruise, our men join the ranks of Kathie Lee Gifford.

The next day, they guys are playing basketball and enjoying the sun. Daiquiri in hand, Big Butter sits on the lounge chair next to Robert. He says he's glad they're away from everything. Robert asks how he feels without Que. BB stutters a bit and then says, he's mad he's not there, but, basically, whatever. Robert says he doesn't want to be an ass, but he didn't think it was that bad. Butter says it wasn't bad to him either. They both crack up. Robert says that Brian, though, is pretty distracted without Que there. (Right.) They both wonder what Que's been doing, and hope he's forming a clean slate.

Next week, it's a concert live finale with Day26 and Brillo. But there's going to be a big surprise as we find out what happens with Danity Kane. And, who knows, all of the members of DK just might be there???

So what do you all think? Heard any good rumors lately? I've heard that Orangebrey will be appearing for sure, and also that they might have actually never even REALLY broken up! Whaaaa????

love, MandaMo

Will was always be my fav for u know... physical reasons but Robert's a close second but why would u wear $300 pair of shoes when ur going parasailing?

This whole To Que or not to Que business, I was just waiting for them to say Donnie why don't u dance with us. Donnie's with them all the time he probably knows all the steps. I'm always rooting for Donnie but being a solo artist on Bad Boy is bad, hell being any type of artist on Bad Boy is bad!!!

It's funny I never thought of Dawn being sad because she's stuck on Diddy's label while the others are actually relieved to be away from Bad Boy! Hell Orangebrey is making more money now than she ever did working for Diddy! I don't know what he's going to do with Dawn either - the group as a whole was more appealing than just 1 person, but we'll see! I really hope when all the girls come togethere they give their HONEST feelings about the group & Diddy!!!

I read Danity Kane has inked a deal with VISA and their picture will be on VISA's new Mysplash Prepaid Card. Also, Danity Kane is currently at work on their third album called From the Ashes, so they never really broke up.
Diddy is a liah! He originally said he wasn't going to let any of them out of their contract and then on the finale (part 1) releases everyone but Dawn!
I thought it was odd Dawn was so upset about being stuck to the label since she kept whining about her future. She seemed jealous that Aundrea is now "free"; not that I blame her! Poison!! I guess misery loves company. ha! Couldn't she "quit" like Shannon did?

And YES, Aundrea has packed on the pounds or something! You'd think with all the dancing they do, she would have stayed skinny! You don't see her drinking heavily or anything, or eating a lot - nothing to really justify the weight gain. Weird.

And speaking of people chunking up, did anyone catch the A-list Awards on Bravo? Orangebrey was there and french kissed Kathy Griffin on stage. Orangebrey looked HUGE in her pink taffeta get-up. I was shocked! Girlfriend is letting it go! She needs to keep it under control for her xxx video career!

First off hilarious recap but this whole season has been kinda hilarious. I couldn't not watch because every time Que tried to fight he got his butt kicked. I watched the actual finale and Danity Kane is gone.

Since the first Making the band I have watched Aundrea just expand. But with stress some eat and others fight. Poor Dawn..stuck with Diddy. I told my mom I think Diddy is losing it every time he opens the show up. He needs a time out or is it us that needs one from him?

Thanks for the recap! Can't wait to see what ya thought of the Live Finale last night.

Thanks for the spoiler Jacey2. I haven't watched the finale yet....:P
