Then Orangebrey says, "Donnie got to know peace, love and hair grease Aubrey at dinner." Is that really what she said? HAIR GREASE!? You guys have to tell me if I either (a) misheard or (b) missed some inside joke about hair grease. Because that just doesn't make sense and is totally gross. Then again, maybe she really is down-to-earth afterall and aware enough to notice the overly processed mop on her head. Well, anyway, Hair Grease Aubrey is done anyway. Because now "Auberella" is about to come out to "check his ass, for real."
I think I finally get it. Orangebrey is the normal Season 4 character. And Orangerella is the gum-smacking, accented version who comes out mostly only around Brillo.
The boys scheme and decide not to tell Brillo that Orangerella is on her way down to the restaurant, so he continues to get all cozy with Wavy Gravy in the booth.
Dawn and Orangerella walk in and the 'Rella wastes no time. She stomps right over to Brillo and says, "Is this your girlfriend?" Brillo mutters no. And then she asks Gravy, "Is this your boyfriend?" She also says no. So then Orangerella sassily says, "Well. You guys are a really cute couple." She pats Brillo on the arm and says through a clenched smile, "Donnie. You're always bringin' home the winners." Dawn is laughing in the background and Brillo asks, "Are you serious?" I feel a bit bad for the Gravy over there who probably has zero idea what is going on. Orange snaps, "So serious." And stomps off.
Brillo says that he's not doing anything, so she can't get mad. Oh Brillo, Brillo, Brillo. Have you learned nothing at all about the ladies? We pretend like we are the cool girl and like we don't care what you do. But we do care. And we care A LOT. And we like to believe we are the only girl in your life. Or at least the only girl for that night. You are dumber than I ever imagined. Dumb beyond redemption.
Dawn and Orangerella cram into the booth by Q and stare the Brillo down. Brillo, however, blames Q and calls him a dick. Yeah, planning the stand-off at the restaurant was a little lame. But Brillo has no one to blame but himself. Q said it was just a joke but that Orangerella didn't take it that way. I really do wonder what Q's intentions were here. I understand that he is always the group prankster, but I almost wonder if he was set up by producers here just to create good tv.
Meanwhile, Robert is trying to take advantage of the situation by putting his arm around and comforting Orangerella. I think he's just looking to cop a cheap feel literally two feet from Brillo and Wavy Gravy. Orangerella tells Robert that Brillo was the one who asked HER on a date that -- oh snap! -- she didn't even want to go on! Robert tells her that Brillo said SHE kissed HIM, and SHE claims that Brillo was the one who kissed HER. And then SHE gets a phonecall that HE'S on a date with another GIRL. He PLAYED himself tonight. It's totally SHADY. Not that Brillo is her MAN, but HE took HER out on a DATE and then three minutes later, HE's out with NEW DATE! So TECHNICALLY that puts HIM in the WRONG and HER in the RIGHT. Because HE wants to PLAY HIMSELF like this sweet LITTLE GUY but he's NOT. He's PLAYIN' HIMSELF right now like the PLAYER HE REALLY IS. Hmph!
And then she smiles in a purposely fake, sickly sweet way at Brillo and Wavy Gravy. But Waves doesn't see it because she's too busy looking directly into the cameras. Now, I'm not one to hate on a girl based solely upon her looks because obviously I know nothing about her. But, really? Really, Brillo? THIS is who you choose to piss off Orangerella for? Maybe it's because Wavy Gravy wears Abercrombie, and we know that Orangerella does not.
Brillo stares back with pissed off face and pursed lips. He tells us that he's not even flirting with this girl. He's just talking to her. Sitting extra super close on the same side of a booth, sharing a drink and playing footsy under the table. But just talking!
Mike's view: Who gives a crap! Mike's turning into my kind of guy. Not a big fan of his perched hat, but I enjoy his flippant ways. Brillo's really not the prize to be fighting over here.

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.
