Diddy says it is a blessing to work with people as talented as the girls, and then he asks them to leave, so he can chat with the boys alone. Diddy tells the boys that he put them into the studio prematurely and had to pull them out. He wants them to have a certain style that affects people in an emotional way. He wants to see where they're all at to see if they are ready to go back into the studio because they are running out of time. The boys get up and go over to the piano where Brillo is playing. And AGAIN we hear the song "Exclusive." If I hear this song one more time, I swear I'm going to buy the cd, break it into pieces and slit my own wrists.
The boys sing and yet again mime all the emotions. Overdramatic gestures and intense frowns. God it's so bad. Luckily Diddy stops them. He says they need to portray that the stakes are really high, and that they sing to sound good instead of feeling the words. Mike says that Diddy is a true perfectionist and no matter what they do, Diddy will always find something wrong. Oh and by the way, Diddy has a cane now. His mystery ailment seems to have graduated from crutches to a cane.
So they start again. And again they are miming the words. Brian actually flexes his muscles while singing the word "strong." They all take it SOOO literally. Diddy calls them right out and says they all look too conscious about the way they look. Exactly! "And your hands are just right. And your expressions are just right." He says they need to be in the zone where they black out instead of thinking about where their hands are. They are making soul music and need to be raw.
And so the boys take it from the top. Again. Ugh. This song is killing me!!! For the love of Pete, GET A NEW SONG!!! But this time Diddy likes it. It's not perfect, but they got naked. I thought it was still a little corny, but if Diddy likes it, then that means we don't have to hear it again, so I'm on board. Praise be to Jesus! We can finally move on! Diddy is so pleased, that he wants to put them back into the studio. All the boys breathe a sigh of relief. But he warns them that it will be a lot of long days and nights, and he's not going to waste any of his energy so they need to bring it. Finally, happiness has befallen on the men of the Flatotel and peace has been restored to the land! The guys kind of halfway smile and semi-care. It's hard to shake them out of their boredom.
Next week it looks like Danity Kane is having a little drama in the studio, feeling stifled by the producers. Should be another drama-filled goody!
So what do you all think? Was the Orangarella vs. Brillo fight all you hoped it would be? And who's at fault here? Brillo for double dipping, Orangebrey for being so damn annoying or Q for setting it all up?

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.
