I Want To Work For Diddy Season 1 Episode 2 Recap

This season the groups are tasked to make a viral videos. He is trying to setup a new venture, diddy.com. they are tasked to make a viral video. PoPrah decides to take the talent position in this episode so that if they mess up it will be on the production and not her. Yet she still can run the show. The downtown team appoints Leverne as the lead of their team.

Poprah and uptown are throwing out ideas and Red doesn’t like any of them. They then leave for their spots.
As Leverne aka OmaToni is doing interviews they keep telling her to ‘Tranny it up’ while interviewing former assistants. She/he even asks Andre Harrell to lay down with her.. What the hell!!

Back to uptown. Poprah is all over Red while teaching him how to work the camera. They are not working well together at all! They are arguing and working while Breanna is sitting over there doing nothing.

While Team Downtown is interviewing O’neal McKnight  they come up with the the idea of ‘the applesauce bandit’ and they are off and running.

Team Uptown breaks the tripod on the camera and while they are arguing about it they miss a message on the red phone. Not good. They missed that a meeting was canceled so they went all the way there for nothing.

Team Downtown decides to make Boris the Applesauce bandit. while putting on the outfit he starts complaining about the wardrobe because he has to wear tights. Big Baby.

Team Uptown is getting sick of Red and his non camera working skills. They decide to make a back up vid of silliness such as Red getting his legs waxed Suzanne squirting water out of her nose, and Brianna pulling eyelashes. Stupid idea.

OmaToni is kind of feeling bad for the way Boris was treated. After seeing the stupidity that Team Downtown did, Boris decides to suck it up and don the suit.

Back to the other side. Poprah and Red are getting to the boiling point as they record their video.

During the shoot with team Downtown, Boris is constantly complaining and not cooperating. Basically getting on everybody’s nerves.

Poprah hits the streets to get people to do crazy things for their viral video. She is taking over.

While Team downtown is heading back to the next shot they realize that Mike forgets the phone. They start arguing about who is to go back and get it. does it matter? I know they better not send my crush Kendra back. I need to see her! And who do they send back? Kendra AND Stephanie. They get lost and call mike while he’s shooting to get directions. shouldn’t the driver know how to get there? OmaToni is getting pissed and is ready to start shooting! They get into it and he tells her to stop pouting.. Boris jumps in, after all his complaining, and gets the brunt end of OmaToni’s rage. During one of the outside shots, while chasing the applesauce bandit Omatoni trips on a piece of plastic but keeps it moving like a trooper! After the shot we see that she banged up her knee.

Team Uptown is back at the office to editing. Poprah takes over, calling everybody else incompetent, while the producer eats on the sideline.

During the ride back Stephanie and Kendra start asking each other questions on why they want to be there and what they want to do. Kendra calls her robotic, which she is. Now they don’t trust each other. whatever. This is a competition not friends camp.

Poprah is taking over and editing the video the best they know how.

Team Downtown’s applesauce bandit idea is taking shape and the video is pretty entertaining.

The videos are done and this time the fans get to choose who won. they chose the applesauce bandits (team downtown) as the winners at a 54%-46% margin.
Now Uptown has to once again throw someone to the wolves.

Team Downtown celebrates while uptown strategize on who goes up for elimination. They decide to gang up on Red and put him up, he then elects Brianna to go home.

“Greatest is something that’s earned, not given.” – Diddy

Red pleads his case by saying that he is a go getter and that’s what Diddy needs. Brianna puts on the waterworks to plead her case as to why she should still be here. Red tells the judges that they schemed to get his sent home and that Brianna failed as a producer. Exactly as it happened. So the judges come back and *cue the fake security guards* give their decision on who goes home and who stays. The next person to end their journey to work for Diddy is….. Brianna! Red survives another day throwing a monkey wrench into their plan. Because it’s only 3 of them and 5 on the other team. They must pick someone to come over to their side to even things out. Stay tuned next time to see what happens.

Making The Band Season 3 Episode 2 Recap

Okay so the Democratic convention is over and time for me to bet back to my Diddy updates.
This episode picks up where the last one left off with the crews preparing for tour and such. Diddy says that they only have 2 weeks lift to prepare and kicks things into overdrive.
The first group up is Danity Kane. They are doing a medley of stuff form 1st and 2nd album. they seem to be doing well at rehearsal, they are gelling and working together well.
Next up is everybody’s favorite white boy Donnie. He is so stiff and uncoordinated! Seems like his choreographer has a different idea. “We’re gold, we’re platinum”. Yeah right.
The guys (Day 26) are rehearsing in what looks like my walk in closet. No surprise that they are running/bumping into each other. We can tell that Brian is not the dancer in the group! Ms Boon Kat is all in their behinds because of their sloppiness. With only two weeks left they should be tighter than where they are.
Diddy is still on his ‘Diddy’s fit club’ kick. He actually gained 2 lbs. You supposed to be losing not gaining.
So In walks Diddy to judge the groups and see how far they are along. Here are the results:
Donnie – Looks lost and confused. Not to mention stiff and uncoordinated (did I already say that?). Things are not looking good for him. He has 10 days to make a miracle happen! Looking like a stiff white boy from Long Island that can’t dance. Diddy tells him to go get some “black friends” or do whatever he has to do.

Day 26 – Start off looking confused. Diddy goes hard on them from the jump! I think they are trying to hard to impress as opposed to just having fun and looking natural with it. He starts booing and heckling them during the performance to give them a taste of what would happen if they mess up and quit. Q looks like he was ready to cry. He tries to give them some advice on how to react after a mistake but I think it was lost in translation. they seem to be going backwards instead of forward.

Danity Kane – The ladies start off strong, but of course your girl Aubrey has to be all extra with it. Diddy still doesn’t think they are ready but they are the best to offer so far. “Don’t be a headliner by default.” He says that Aundrea and Aubrey are the 2 weakest links in the crew.
They all have work to do.

Donnie is down and depressed heading into rehearsal. His choreographer gives him a little pep talk and he seems to get his confidence level back up.
The guys are back with Laurie Ann and she tries her best to lift their spirits.
The Ladies are back in rehearsal and of course Aubrey doesn’t agree with anything Diddy has to say about their performance.

Dawn and Q discuss what happened with Diddy and the rehearsals. Q felt disrespected by the way Diddy talked to him. Dawn tries to explain to him where Diddy was coming from and that he wasn’t singling him out. Q decides to take his night off and rehearse alone. Good move. But what if you’re practing it wrong? wouldn’t you just do it onstage the same way? Just my observation.

Diddy’s breaking news!! “If your ass can go to the concerts, if your ass can go to the Kanye or Jay Z concert then your ass can go to the post office and register to vote!” True!!

D. Woods and Aubrey go out on the town to party it up and hit a couple red carpets to celebrate “all the wonderful things aubrey is doing.” Yeah. Okay.

Diddy brings the camp to TRL to announce the tour. everything is peachy until after the show. Diddy has this crazy look on his face. He starts to rip into Danity Kane and singles out Aubrey on how unhappy he is with her appearance and such. they get into a shouting match and she tries to bring in others to dispute what Diddy is thinking about her. Who do you think they are going to side with the boss or somebody else? Be real. He says that she is going in the wrong direction! You cannot over talk Diddy.. Don’t try. “I’m asking myself why do I have you here and I’m moving onto something else and I’ll get back to you on that. You may not be here and anybody else that wants to go with you can go too. Don’t get it twisted man, it gets dark and lonely trust me.” The room gets quiet and nobody else makes any kind of eye contact with Diddy. Wow.
After the big blowup Aubrey is back at the hotel (looking like a wet rat without her makeup and big hair) talking to D. Woods about how she’s tired of battling about her looks and such and feeling worn down. She contemplates moving on to somewhere else where they believe in her.

Another rehearsal in front of Diddy.. Here we go again.
Donnie – Getting better but still needs to loosen up some more.
Day 26 – A major improvement from the first time.
Danity Kane – The same as before. Aubrey went from Playboy bunnyish to looking homeless.

After the rehearsals Diddy and Aubrey have a little one on one time. She just lays it out there that she doesn’t want to be the ‘problem child’ anymore. He talks about how he just wants her to take advantage of the oppurtunity that he is giving her. Communication between them is horrible! I understand that you may not agree with the boss but you still have to respect that position.

This ends another episode. Stay tuned next week for Brian and Boom Kat’s fight and what happens with Q and Dawn…
