Day26 knows when not to argue with the big boss. So when Diddy said they'd be going on the cruise without Que, all they could do was pack their things, and promise Que they'd send a postcard. And while Qwanell's absence was definitely felt (remember that sad, empty seat at the dinner table??), Robert and Mike couldn't help but notice how smoothly the show went without him.
So what did everyone else think? We caught up with Day26 after the cruise and got Willie's take on the whole performing-without-Que sitch. And from the sounds of it, he's won't be sending any more "Day26 is moving on -- with or without you" text messages anytime soon ....
+ Bonus: In case you hadn't noticed, Day26 didn't always get along this season. Hear what the guys had to say about fighting on camera (awk-ward!) and how all that drama's affected them as a group.

We hear what Donnie was saying about how Dawn's constant presence has altered the Day26 dynamic. But from what we've seen, Que owes his woman a big thank you (and maybe some roses) for getting him, his group and his career back on track.
If Dawn hadn't been there to talk some sense into Que at the studio, dude would've slammed the door behind him and never looked back. Instead, he had a reassuring heart-to-heart with Brian, Will and Mike, while Dawn gently convinced Robert that this was all one big misunderstanding.
Come to think of it, we can't even count the number of times Dawn's calmed Que down, stopped him from storming off in frustration and encouraged him to swallow his pride. So has she changed the fellas' group dynamic? Of course. But we think she's changed it for the better.
+ Think Dawn's part of Que's problem? Or part of the solution? Tell us whether you guys think she crossed the line -- or saved the day -- by getting involved.

First, Will was "jealous" and trying to take over the band. Then Brian was "acting" for the cameras and trying to make him look bad. And despite Mike and Robert's emotional pleas ("I'm here for you, and the whole group is here for you") and reassurances ("I care about you ... y'all are my brothers"), Que's still convinced it's four against one.
And at this point, he's right.
Paranoid, angry and misunderstood, Que's managed to successfully alienate himself from the other four members of Day26 this season. And now that the fighting's escalated once again (last week, blowups led to fistfights and missed studio time), it's time for Diddy to step in and decide whether keeping Que around is what's best for the group.
+ Think getting rid of Que is the answer? Or do the guys need to learn how to solve their problems by working together? Take our poll and let us know whether Que (and his out-of-control temper) have got to go.

When Big Mike broke down in tears last week, we hoped it's be a wakeup call for the rest of Day26. But last night, the boys' fighting reached fever pitch after Que went after Brian, blew up at Screwface and mouthed off in front of Diddy.
And while Donnie Klang sez Dawn's being around 24/7 might've contributed to the tension between Que and the rest of Day26, Diddy has an even simpler theory: no more Que, no more problems.
+ Is Qwanell on the outs with Diddy? Or is he just on his way out? Peep this scene from next week's Making the Band and tell us whether Que's days with Day26 are numbered.

They say things get worse before they get better. And if that's true, tonight's episode means the still-fighting boys of Day26 are that much closer to putting this all behind them. Until then, though, we'll have to listen to them yell, scream, curse, cry, sulk, pout and accuse each other of being "jealous."
And whether or not you believe there is such a thing as the Making the Band curse, it IS starting to seem like putting five strong, driven people in a group together inevitably results in a major personality clash.
Our take? Unless the guys can take Big Mike's advice (i.e. stop focusing on the so-called problem and start working towards a solution), we might as well be watching last season's episodes instead. And unfortunately for Danity Kane, we already know how that story ends ...

If we had to sum up tonight's Making the Band in four words, we would have to go with "fighting," "fighting" and "more fighting." And tonight, it seemed like everybody was against Que. Even his own mama! At least, that's how it looked at first.
After scolding his fellow Day26-er for skipping out on studio sessions (Will reminded Que that singing should be his top priority), Brian and Robert started trying to play peacemaker and Big Mike brought the whole house down with his teary/heartfelt we're-all-in-this-together speech.
Think Que's right to be on the defensive? Or is his paranoia creating a divide between himself and the rest of the group? Take our poll and let us know whether you guys think it's four against one -- or just Que versus all.

Whether it started out as three against two or not, tonight's Making the Band definitely ended up dividing Day26 into two separate -- but not equal -- sides.
There's the Will/Brian camp, who thinks Day26 should keep doing traditional R&B (and not risk alienating their fans), there's Que's theory (that the guys need to mix it up and evolve on their next album), and somewhere in the middle, there's Mike and Robert, who fully support wearing silly hats, cracking Janet Jackson jokes and trying to stay in Nonconfrontational Land.
Natch, who's right or wrong here is less important than what the argument says about the guys' ability to work together (or, um, not). But since nobody knows what Day26's fans want better than Day26's fans, we're putting this one up to a poll.
