Aww our favorite lovebirds! Que and Dawn are having dinner, and he's venting to her about how Will moved into his spot. Dawn says that Diddy sees them as dancing dollar signs, and he has so much money riding on them, that he needs everything to be really perfect. Que tells us that it's nice having support and they hug and we barf. That night, Que goes to the studio and practices by himself. Another advertisement for the boys because "Got Me Goin'" is playing the whole time. And, yes, I admit that I like this song. So sue me!
Time for Breaking News! Oh awesome. It's a "Vote or Die" announcement. Good deal. I love how dramatic it is. Vote.......OR DIE!!!!! Fuck voting; I choose death.
The girls are back in their hotel room getting all gussied up for a party. Orangebrey is wearing a silver sparkly gown and asks if she looks like a princess. D.Woods tells her that she looks like an ice queen. The music stops. Orangebrey says that's a term they used back in the day for women that were bitchy. Orangebrey is on the cover of J'Adore magazine, so she and D are celebrating her debut. Orangebrey asks if her boobs are a problem, and D says that it all depends on one's tolerance for cleavage. Don't you all just love D.Woods? I don't know what I'd do without her. She always provides a safe spot for me to rest my eyes. (Lopsided raccoon hat hair an EXCEPTION.)
Next there is a montage of Orangebrey and D drinking and sitting on guys' laps. Please remember this montage for later in the show where Orangebrey makes the claim that she is NOT a problem child...
Now it's time for TRL to promote the music and hopefully get some tickets sold. Then, after the show, it's time for another family meeting. Dawn tells us that whenever they are called into a backroom with Diddy, it's always about how they suck. Yes, and we love every hateful minute of it!
Diddy tells them that it's not all coming together image-wise, and then he calls out Orangebrey and says that she always wants to be naked. Diddy angrily asks her what she wants to look like. She says that she's not focused on herself and is focused on how she fits into the group. Diddy says that she likes big hair and lots of make-up and is pushing her own image.
Diddy brings in the stylists to see if Orangebrey is really as flexible as she says she is. Orangebrey tries to put words in their mouth. And the stylist says that sometimes Orangebrey is okay, but sometimes she wants to do what she wants to do with very little compromise. Boo yah! And isn't the stylist so funny? She's so plain jane. It's hard to believe that something like her could create something like Orangebrey.
Diddy says that Orangebrey doesn't look like who he signed; she looks like Pam Anderson. Orangebrey asks why he wants to have her there if she's always a problem. Diddy says that he thinks she's talented, but he's starting to reevaluate. He says that he'll think about if he still wants her there and will let her know later. It's really amazing to me the way the Diddy talks to her. I mean, I know that she's a bit much, but he takes a mean tone with her that he never takes with the others. I sense sexual tension again...
That night, Orangebrey lightly lotions her arm in sadness. D.Woods points out that she's being pretty quiet. She says that she's tired of the battle moments. D says that she just needs to be strong and continue to be herself. Orangebrey says that what keeps her going is that the rest of the group believes in her, but at the end of the day it's Diddy running things. She says that if Diddy really believes all the stuff he thinks about her, then she needs to be somewhere else because she doesn't believe in them. She needs to be somewhere else that's going to support and believe in her.

Loved it, Mandamo, you hit the nail(s) on the head! I absolutely adore this show (and especially Day 26) because they really do believe that getting signed to Diddy's label makes them instant superstars (they should check into the group "Dream" from 2001, they were once on Diddy's label, too).
It is so amazing to me that Day 26 have not yet learned how to NOT telegraph their mistakes (i.e. Qwanell just stopped dead in the water when the routine didn't go exactly the way they wanted). You don't stop, you keep on and on ('til the break of dawn)! They've got so many more hard lessons to pick up.
Fabulous Recap, thank you from another 'Mo! :)
love, J-Mo :)

"Also, isn't Diddy getting funnier by the season? I used to think he was kind of an arrogant little fucker, but now I just view him as a comic genius. Now I realize that before I just wasn't in on the joke."
Not sure if you were being sarcastic here or not but I find him so funny and always have. Despite the fact that he's really arrogant and rich he really seems like he's in on the joke with everything and doesn't really take anything too seriously on his shows.

I HEART these recaps. All of my friends I used to mock MTB3 with have moved on.
OK, i just saw the DK video for "Bad Girl" and I figured out what the Maybelline song is actually about.
It is a stripper who is trying to tell her customers that she is a prostitute after hours.
So why is Diddy giving Aubs a hard time about her image? She's just trying to promote the record.
