Making The Band 4 › Season 2 › Ep. 1109

The girls and boys hit the road with finished albums to promote and itineraries to exhaust. Back in New York City, the groups meet with the people at Atlantic Records to go over promo details and are soon off to meet with Miss Jones of Hot 97 - Danity Kane's arch enemy of honesty.

Talk turns personal and tongue-ties the girls, but luckily they're able to sing through it; an acapella "Damaged" gets claps all around and Miss Jones finally gives it up for Danity Kane. Day 26 is put in the hot seat and the guys work extra hard to win over the sharp-tongued DJ.

The promo tour steps off and one bus is holding all eleven of the singers as it hits the highways - there's sure to be tons of drama in these enclosed spaces and lots of competition. Danity Kane proposes a challenge: whoever sells the most downloads in the first week wins, and the loser must eat feet. Without the bitchassedness.

The club is the first test; out at a club in Philadelphia, the groups get to see the crowd's reaction to both singles. While its all good, Q gets down with some girl on the floor and Dawn gets really upset. The drama spills over into the hotel and both groups are at odds with one another. A spat between lovers devolves into a fight between the reputations between Danity Kane and Day 26 - and no one is safe from being pulled into the tension.

Diddy takes Donnie into the studio to pick out the single and work over the song; they fine-tune the sound and finish it out and Diddy's ultra-excited about it. Sounds good. Sounds so good, Diddy invites the groups out to a delicious dinner. It's up to the boss to restore the peace between the groups. They're a family - it's time to start getting along again - and what better way to bury the hatchet than with tequila? Daddy Diddy is all about tough love but he's not so tough that he can't give some loving words of praise, especially to the winning team: Danity Kane. Thankfully, no one's going to have to show Mike's toes some love.
