Making the Band: ... And Then There Were Three

In a flash, the quintet becomes a trio.

When we last saw the girls, Diddy made it clear that he no longer wanted Aubrey in Danity Kane. Viewers were left with a cliffhanger. Would Diddy change his mind?

No. Diddy did not change his mind and on top of that, D-Woods decided to leave the group, too! Later, Diddy admitted that he wouldn't have cut D-Woods from the group, but I think she was taking a stand for her friend. She and Aubrey were obviously the closest pair in the group. That might not have been the best decision on her part. However, I'm thinking D-Woods will be working towards a solo career soon.

So, where does that leave Aubrey and the rest of the girls? Shook! During the live finale show, Aundrea, Shannon and Dawn were visibly distressed. Maybe they should have had some alcohol on stage to calm the nerves. Aubrey seemed her usual self, but since she always seems to be playing to the cameras, I'm not sure her "usual self" is the real deal.

That may be exactly why Diddy eliminated her. He said she was not the girl he selected for the band years ago. Will that girl return? Who knows, but rumors of another season are swirling. So, we shall see.

Do you think Aubrey and D-Woods will return to the band? Do you want them to?

Making the Band: Is Aubrey Out?

Did you see that coming?

Diddy sat down with the ladies of Danity Kane to discuss the future of the band. I didn't notice the tension within the group, but I did notice that Aubrey was hanging out more with D-Woods than Aundrea, who was once her BFF.

Anyway, after the girls talked about rumors, mistrust and insecurities, Diddy told them that he was ready to kick Aubrey out of the group. He said, "There will be a Danity Kane," but will it include Aubrey? That is the question.

Aubrey does seem to be marching to her own beat a lot of the times. Like when the ladies went horseback riding, she was the only one trying to be fabulous (and failing, in my opinion).

What do you think? Is Aubrey extra? Will she be let go? Will any other girls roll out with her? If she goes, should the group still be called Danity Kane? Will Diddy make her a solo artist?

Making the Band IV: Dawn and Q

I happened to catch the latest episode of "MTB," and I had to comment on the whole Dawn and Q relationship! How cute -- in a syrupy sweet, diabetic coma way -- is that courtship! The two are inseparable, and I don't remember the last time I've seen a guy so whooped.

He's yelling his love for her from the mountaintops. He serenades her with Commodore classics, and draws her bubble baths. He drops the L-word as often as other guys scratch themselves, and he reserved a hotel room for her and spread rose petals everywhere.

Ummmm. I don't know whether to be impressed or to feel sorry for the guy.

How about you? What do you think of their on-camera romance? Is it real or contrived? Is Q, at 19, too young to really know what love is? Will there be a spin-off show featuring the two lovebirds? My bet is yes!
