But enough about me and my body image issues because this convo between the lovebirds is getting more uncomfortable by the minute. Orange says that she bets Brillo's ex-gf was an "Abercrombie girl." What IS an "Abercrombie girl" anyway? Someone tiny enough to fit into those little sizes without feeling like a bloated toad? And are we really spending this much time talking about a store in a mall and defining the people who can wear it?
Brillo says that she has him all wrong. Apparently, Abercrombie boys don't mix with Abercrombie girls. What a lethal pairing. Orangebrey counters by saying that she doesn't know him at all because she only knows what he tells her, which isn't much. Then Brillo says that she's slick too. Yeah, that's all the tanning oil. But Orangebrey says, "No. I'm just real." He tells her she's cool, and then she says, "I know." They toast to her being down-to-earth and not a "stuck up, platinum selling artist." Although she says, "I never was that!" We hope that Brillo knows better. He said that some people do think that about her, but she just has to have tough skin. Tough, leathery, orange skin. Raw hide, if you will.
The waiter comes over, and Orangebrey orders another glass of wine. But Brillo orders a Long Island Iced Tea. Whoa! Boy means business! I really can't ever imagine ordering a STRONG ISLAND at such a nice restaurant. Those should only be reserved for college nights at karaoke bars when you need a little liquid courage to get you up on stage long enough to belt out that Pat Benetar hit. But it looks like Brillo is fixing to put on the beer goggles tonight and tap a little Orange piece of pie.
Next they are walking home through a strange construction area. What neighborhood is this restaurant in? And Brillo tells us that there's an Abercrombie store up ahead. She says she loves his A&F jacket though. It's growing on her. Again, like a nice, juicy cold sore.
Brillo walks her all the way back to the hotel, and then they share a lingering good night kiss. He says he'll call her tomorrow. He giggles to himself on the walk home. Must be the Long Island.
Back at Flatotel, Brian wants to know the details. More specifically, he wants to know if there were "smooches" because now we're using babytalk, I guess.
Because Brillo is a man of honor, he does not kiss and tell. Well...he doesn't tell Brian, at least. He saves all the juicy tidbits for Robert who smacks his forehead when he finds out and then bursts out laughing. Brillo seems both giddy and quite pleased with himself. I want to think it's cute, but I already know about the drama that is lurking just around the corner.
Literally fifteen minutes later, the boys decide to go out and Brillo calls up some girls that they met right when they got to New York. The girls show up downstairs at Flatotel, and Robert says he wants to go down first so he can call "first dibs" on the girl he wants. Brillo says he already knows what girl he wants. Then he and Robert beat their chest and guffaw and act all manly and dumb.
Okay, I do not have very high expectations for Brillo. But I at least expected him NOT to take out two girls in the very same night. That is pretty low, even for someone with such awful hair.
They go to the restaurant because apparently Brillo hasn't been fed for at least an hour. He has a girl and Robert has a girl, but Q is sitting alone. So he decides to invite Dawn. But there's a catch.
He tells her to come to dinner and bring Orangebrey because they are all on a date including Brillo. Dawn points out how dumb it is that Brillo has taken TWO girls out for dinner on the SAME NIGHT. She says, "No double dipping, fellas! Maybe the next day, but not the same day! It's too different flavors. It doesn't taste good!" Word. Orangebrey is like Orange Sherbet and this girl is like Wavy Gravy. Totally unsuitable for a hot fudge date sundae with a Nut! By the way, my love for ice cream is now forever dead.

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.
