All right Gasmii! It is finally time for all that Brillo/Orangebrey DRAMA we've been waiting for!
This episode opens with Diddy holding a business card over the bottom half of his face that has the logo for Sean John written across it, basically giving a shameless plug for his clothing line, which according to the web site, reflects an urban sensibility and style. I want to believe that his crutches are Sean John brand, too. You know, well-made and sophisticated. The Future of Fashion in walking aids.
Anyway, Diddy is extremely giddy today. "We're bigger and blacker and bolder and better than ever! And we're coming to a screen near you! Oozing all over that screen!" Ew. That's disgusting. Please keep your Diddy-ooze all to your Diddy-self. Thank you.
He tells us that you have to be good enough to deserve to be in Daddy's House. And, thanks to all my faithful readers, I understand that Daddy's House is the official name of his studio and not just a weird nickname. Apparently, it was created when he was still going by "Puff Daddy." (p.s. Thanks readers and Diddy life experts! I couldn't function without you!) He says that he kicked the boys out of the studio due to no emotional connection with the music. Totally true. The boys always seem bored and like they don't want to put in any real effort. It's getting pretty old watching them just go through the motions all zombie-like in the studio.
With that, we are back in the vocal studio with Gandhi and the boys. And this week, he really doesn't look as much like Gandhi at all. But, I think we'll keep the nickname because, well, I like it. And it's good to throw in good historical references here and there. It keeps our brain cells working.
So anyway Gandhi is barking like a drill sargent and the boys are following orders, doing breathing exercises. It kind of looks like lamaze coaching. Or at least from what I know of lamaze by watching tv, mainly Scott Baio's show. And even some of the guys look pregnant. So maybe they are doing lamaze after all.
Next, Biv walks in the studio. I really hope he's there to talk to Brillo and tell him that Orangebrey "is like poiiiisoooon!" But alas, he's there to talk business and not love advice. He basically says that Diddy's mind is always on the money. And he gets upset when he sees the boys doing badly because he sees dollar signs going down the drain. Biv states, "Don't be the big tv group that breaks. I ain't goin' down with that shit." They all laugh. I wouldn't be thinking it was so funny if I were the boys. I think they are basically being told that they will be fired if they don't straighten up. But, sure, laugh all your want. Unemployment is hilarious!
Across town, DK is in the studio being visited by Willie and Brillo. Orangebrey tells Brillo to come over for a hug and calls him "lover boy." I wonder if when she hugs him, orange rubs off on his jacket? Kind of like that stuff that gets on your hands when you eat Cheetos. Watch out, Brillo! That girl is DANGEROUSLY cheezy!
Dawn tells us that the couple is like a very tan Barbie and a very frosted-haired Ken. And then Aubrey says that she wants to take a picture of Brillo in his boxers and put that picture on her shirt. Brillo doesn't respond because, how does one even respond to such a statement? "Ok, that sounds great?" Or "Only if I'm wearing my favorite G.I. Joe boxers?" It's so weird because you can so totally tell that she makes him uncomfortable, and yet he just keeps coming back for more. This is a fine example of masochism.
D says that she could tell something was going on with Brill and Aubs when they were holding hands at church. And Dawn says she could see something stirring on the bus ride back from the show for the Boys and Girls Club when Aubrey threw her legs in his lap and flashed her cooter at everyone.

I DON"T see the big deal. Aubrey is not his girlfriend and as she said did not want to go out with him. SO what he took another girl out. I guess I missed the memo that as a female I should be upset if a dude I went out with ONCE, takes another girl out in the same night. Sorry I wouldn't really care. Unless we pronounced undying love for each other in that same night. I think she is extremely extra. I'm so happy he didn't bend over backwards to make Aubrey feel better.
Q is a NUT, and gets on my damn nerves.
Great Recap!

Oh please - any girl would be pissed if that happened unless they literally had zero interest in the guy. It's just rude! I totally see where Aubry was coming from and I probably would have reacted in the same way.
Oh, and btw - there is scaffolding up all over NY. They are redoing, tearing down, buildings throughout the city, so that was really sketchy or weird that there was a stretch like that. I'm still trying to figure out what restaurant they went to. The bar they went to is very touristy though.

I like your recaps ok, but it seems like you'd need at least have a functioning knowledge of or interest in hip hop history and urban culture to recap it properly. "Peace, love, and hair grease," shouldn't throw you it utter confusion and grossed-outness AT ALL. Ditto with NYC scaffolding and knowing a little bit about Diddy's history of changing names over the course of his career. Still, props to posting your Halloween costume. Funny stuff.

Yes, I loved the halloween costume! LOL! Out of control!
And I think that pointing out all the hip-hop terms, scaffolding, etc. is just supposed to be silly and cheeky. At least that's how I read it. Good stuff!

This is the funniest recap I have ever read for this show. In fact, this site is the only one that recaps Making te Band, so big thumbs up.
I don't see th big deal with Donnie taking out another girl, but to it like 15 minutes after going on a different date is just wrong, but he did it after going on a date with Aubrey, so I can't blam him.

I'm sorry, but all the guys just bore me. They don't really have any passion or anything behind their singing, even after Diddy pushes them. They just seem really manufactured. They don't even seem appreciative. But I don't know, maybe after their first album, they'll really find their voices like Danity Kane did. And I am SO sick of "Exclusive" too.
And yes, Donnie and Aubrey weren't committed to each other yet or anything, but I can see how she got the wrong idea. I mean, Donnie and the girl's body language and how close they were sitting, and the fact they were separated from everyone too. That all makes it seem like it was another date, not a group thing. And unless you're in a speed dating round, going on more than one date in one night is kinda shady and messy, guy or girl.

LOVE the recap ... I thought Donnie's move was seriously shows he got some BITCHASSNESS about him (ha, just had to get that in there somehow)
Can't wait til next week's recap!

Aubrey's the one who played herself... looking like a fool over a boy who's not even her bf. She couldn't help it tho, her ego was completely bruised.
