Now that Danity Kane has screwed it up, and Day 26 has cried enough for 18 seasons, Diddy needs a new group to keep us entertained.

Enter Making His Band, a new reality series centered on creating a new group that will assist Diddy as he preps for what is said to be his last album (I wouldn’t bet on that, though — ya’ll know rappers lie about retiring).

On the show, Diddy and his team will tour the country looking for musicians and back-up singers to help the artist push his album, Last Train to Paris.

Will they have to fetch him cheesecake? Will they have to serve as bodyguards and keep disgruntled ex-Bad Boy acts at bay?

Who knows, but here’s a preview of the new reality series:

The show will premiere on July 27 at 10:00pm ET/PT.

The Making the Band 4 finale was what I expected—mundane. Diddy assured Donnie that his sophomore album was green-lighted (and Donnie performed). Host, Sway, asked Day 26 for an explanation about the drama that happened with Que throughout the season and of course, without giving real answers, they explained that everything was “resolved” and proceeded to over-sing singles from their sophomore album.

Then we got to Danity Kane (minus Aundrea). The crux of the matter was, would they put their differences aside to perform as a quintet—once again—but it’s never going to happen. Sway asked the girls why the group broke up but there was no real answer. They shuffled around the solid truth but if you picked through the sugar coating, you basically figured out that they don’t get along.

What I found most interesting about the special was when everyone, especially Diddy, began shouting out their twitter pages. (Twitter.com/iamdiddy).

For those who are still interested in not getting real answers about the Danity Kane split, there will be a mini-documentary about the group airing next Thursday at 9pm, called The Rise and Fall of Danity Kane.

In other news, Diddy is gearing up to release his next album, Last Train to Paris soon (he didn’t give a date, he just said “soon”), the other fallen members of DK are working on solo albums and Aubrey’s reality TV show (I hope you’re not surprised) is coming in the Fall (which she co-executive produced).

I liked Danity Kane but they broke up. I like Day 26 and now I’m not sure if they’re going to make it. In last night’s episode of Making the Band, we saw that Que was not happy with the music that the group has been recording, and things come to a head in the studio as Will and Que heatedly argue back and forth in front of Diddy. I don’t know what’s going on in Que’s mind, but he seems to be cracking up. Maybe the stress of their financial situation is breaking him down, but I really hope they get it together. They’re talented, and I really don’t want to see another group split up after what seems to be the Making the Band jinx.

In last night’s episode of Making the Band 4 things get tense for Day26 because they’re hurting financially. Their manager tells them that their deal is still only about 75% done. The group stresses about their lack of income but Q, especially, has a hard time dealing with this because he reveals that his family relies on him financially, which is ridiculous for a new artist.

It seems like tension is mounting for everyone. Donnie’s lackluster sales are keeping him from moving forward with a second album, Danity Kane has no group and Day 26 is broke. I’m not even going to make snarky commentary about Bad Boy Records and how they seem to be the record label equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle. OK, so that was a little jab. But seriously, I feel bad for these guys and I hope they manage to pull through.

The tension makes for great drama but these are real young people working toward and living out their dreams. I want them to win.

What are your thoughts?

There was a sliver of hope that they could possibly function as a trio, but Shannon Bex has not yet returned. Although the next episode previews Aundrea and Dawn going to Shannon’s hometown, who knows what’s to come. That was only episode two and already my head is spinning. Plus, we haven’t even begun to touch the pending drama with Day 26. This is going to be good.

I must admit, as much as I’m addicted to watching dysfunction, I hope things work out for all of Diddy’s bands, especially Danity Kane. I really liked them together. Do you think Dawn, Aundrea and Shannon can carry on the group as a trio? Will the original quartet miraculously reconcile (even if forced by contractual obligations)? Or, will there be another curve ball this season with new DK members? Dilemmas, dilemmas…
