I Want To Work For Diddy Season 1 Episode 2 Recap

This episodes opens with Diddy talking about how Bad Boy has grown into an empire, while the teams are back at the house mingling and getting to know each other. Omatoni schools them to what a transgender is. Transgender = “A blanket term for anyone’s who’s gender is nonconforming, Drag queens, transsexual, and cross dressers are all transgenders” per Omatoni. Seems that everyone in the house isn’t as comfortable hearing the discussions about it as others. So as he/she (Shim) is doing a dance shim breaks down into a full cheerleading/legs splitting/testicle crunching split! WooooW! I’m hurting just watching it! The next thing they decide to talk about it dating. They ask Rob and it seems the women are probing because they make be attracted only to find out that HE lives in the east village! Ha he’s gay too! So now we have a black dude that dresses and thinks shim’s a girl (also dates guys) and another black dude that is gay. Well well well.. Do you see a little gay love connection forming? So Anyway, When Rob drops that he’s gay the girls go crazy and he states that he had to deal with the ‘Don’t ask don’t tell’ policy while on active duty in the army.
Next Diddy talks about how sleep is forbidden and he’s in love with work and can’t wait to get up and go to work in the morning (probably because he has to support all those kids he keeps having).
While the kids are tucked in their beds fast asleep, in comes some crazy dudes talking about ‘get up! you’ve got 5 minutes to change, no talking!’ How you gonna tell me I can’t talk? what? reminds me of basic training. So everybody is scrambling around the house getting themselves together and ready to jump in the van and leave for God knows where. They end up at some airport and each team jumps in their own helicopter off to Diddyland. they end up at Fort Dix (it’s in Jersey) where they learn how to navigate a map. team Downtown might be in a bit of trouble because they have Omatoni, PoPrah and fat boy(Boris) on their team and they don’t look umm.. how can I put this? ummerra.. physically fit? yeah or I’ll just say up to the physical challenge. The teams are each given a different course on the map and have to find their way through. At different points on the course there is a question about Diddy that they must answer correctly in order to get the coordinates for the next location on the course and so on until someone reaches the finish line first.
Diddy goes into a little spill about being resourceful. “If you can’t see the forest through the trees, than you need to chop them Muthaf***as down.” – Diddy
Former assistans talk about how when Diddy gives you a task you have to figure it out on your own, no bitchassness. Blah blah.
So they start out at the same time with 8 hrs to complete the challenge. 8 hours? I’m saying that’s a long time for a course isn’t it? They’re at the first obstacle and Kim AKA PoPrah is coughing bad already! With the inhaler in hand and all. She says it’s an allergic reaction to the pollen/ asthma but of course her teammates don’t believe and think she’s crying wolf. It may be an allergy or she may be faking I can’t tell. I’ve seen people with allergies outside running and it’s not pretty. But only time will really tell if it’s the truth or not. She decides only to compete if they run the risk of being disqualified if she doesn’t, but if not then they will be SOL because she is gonna sit this one out. She ends up getting checked out by the EMS and sent away somewhere. The team goes on without her to “slow them down”. I already see too many chiefs and not enough Indians. so Rob’s ( the gay ex army dude) team (uptown) is breezing down the road following him blindly and getting lost. But Downtown is just as lost. Mike is running them around in circles. It’s like neither team even paid attention during the class. So Greg (team uptown) is the dude that got them lost in his home city of NY is running around like a crazy man getting on people’s nerves. At this point both teams are still looking for the FIRST point on the course! like at least 1 hour to 1.5 hours in, mind you they only had to go like 300-350 meters to the spot.
Diddy talks about going the extra mile and how bitchassness will make you want to stop. “We march forward. We don’t retreat at bad boy” – Diddy
Team Uptown can’t figure out where to go so they decide to go back and start at the beginning. Team Downtown, by some stroke of luck, finds the first question:
How many Grammys has Diddy won?
A) One
B) Two
C) Three
The correct answer is three
each answer corresponds with a box that has coordinates to the next spot. If the answer is correct than they go straight to the next location. If incorrect they have to take a detour. Got it? Good. Team Uptown is like 4 hours in and still haven’t found the first point. Now they are all getting frustrated. Team Downtown is on to the next point and question:
At what age was P. Diddy names Uptown Records Vice President of A & R?
A) 18
B) 19
C) 20
The correct answer is 19.
With 3.5 hours remaining Team Uptown finally make it to the first point. Of course these idiots are listening to Rob and on the trust of Wikipedia (which has him listed with the correct answer of three BTW) they answer the first question wrong and get sent to a detour.
At this point team Downtown has 1.5 hrs left when they reach their final question:
In what year did he change his name from Puffdaddy to P. Diddy?
A) 2000
B) 2001
C) 2002
The correct answer is B) 2001.
Now Team Uptown leave the detour only to get lost once again and have to go back to the detour to figure it out. Way to go Army man!! should have done the Air Force like me I can read a map perfectly!!
Before any team can reach the final point the time is up and head to the end. Capricorn (yeap that’s her name) and Derek tell them that they performed miserably and that they sucked. Basically. The Downtown team won because they got to all three points but didn’t finish. Uptown lost and are headed to elimination.
Back at the house while stewing about their loss Boris and Greg plot to put Kim up for elimination. I think she’s kind of feeling herself like they lost because she wasn’t there to give them the answers. Greg confronts her for her bitchassness and they start arguing about foolishness.
Back in the boardroom Team Uptown passes the blame on each other while Capricorn looks on. They end up putting Kim in the hot seat on a 3-2 decision. She decides to add Rob to the hot seat as well. Now comes the jury of Phil Robinson, Kevin Liles and Capricorn. Kim Talks about how Rob played her saying he has all this experience from the Army and that they didn’t need her. Rob claims he spent 4.5 years in the Army and didn’t get land navigational skills. What Army was he in? I mean seriously, you learn that in basic training! Come on Rob, we don’t believe you. you need more people!! He says that the most the Army has taught him was determination.. Blah blah, yeah be a good recruiter for the yungin’s watching the show. Kim talks about how incompetent her team is. Just bad mouthing them. Time to vote. Oh wait! Before the vote PoPrah says that they betrayed her while comparing herself to Jesus, Martin Luther King and other great leaders. My question is who betrayed Martin Luther King?
So Rob gets sent home because he had military training that he wasn’t able to use to complete the challenge. Wow. Kim sits out the competition (fake asthma or real we’ll never know), bad mouths her team and still stays…

Well we’ll have to stay tuned to see what goes down next week. Until then…
