The Bad Rap Video

Kelley, Danny and Melissa are reviewing everyone's five questions footage in the control room. Kelley and Danny are drinking sodas, but they have napkins wrapped around them. At first, I think it's to prevent condensation from dripping onto the controls, but upon further reflection, it's probably because they are the wrong brand, and that particular beverage manufacturer didn't pay the big bucks for product placement. The taped footage reveals that Kelley thinks Oprah is her role model, and that Melissa wants to be like Imelda Marcos (because of the shoes). Matt says he admires his father, because he is selfless. David's tape comes up, and the scatting begins. Danny says, "What the hell is he singing?" and I giggle. Five points for Danny. Kelley asks if they can use this footage for the opening, but then realizes that it will sound "ree-diculous." In an interview, Kelley says it doesn't look right if everyone else is answering questions and then someone is singing. Danny totally rips on David's scatting, by saying, "Scooby doo, wa, ba, cha cha!" Who knew Danny was funny? Danny says the tape is "so stupid" and that he doesn't want it on the show. Kelley asks if David can do another tape and Melissa says with finality that he won't. Kelley says she's sick of it, and that she doesn't want to "blow up or get pissed off" (why not?) but that it doesn't work and they have to make it work. In an interview, Kelley says that she knows David is going to fight with her, and that "there is no middle road when it comes to David's music" because he won't compromise at all. So don't use his footage at all! Isn't that an easy enough solution? Just tell him that he either does the five questions thing, or he doesn't get to be in the segment.

Danny and Kelley leave the control booth, napkin-wrapped sodas in hand, to confront David on the scatting issue. Kelley says that David needs to go into the studio, sit down, and answer the five questions. But then she blows it by adding, "Do you mind doing that?" No! Don't give him a choice! Tell him either he does it or he's out. Ugh. David says he's "going to have to flow it" and that Kelley told him to pick five questions. I don't even know what "flow it" means. I suspect David doesn't either. Kelley asks him what questions he answered because she didn't hear any answers in his tape. Unless the question was, "Can you make the most embarrassing faces possible while scatting and singing a rip-off of a song from Guys and Dolls?" David says that she doesn't understand how he answered the questions because it's "a whole different perspective, a whole different flow." Someone needs to ban the word "flow" from David's vocabulary. Kelley says that if she was watching the show, she wouldn't understand. David says that's just her, and that she comes from a different perspective, and that "people that can understand flow" will get it. Danny just stands there. Way to back up your friend, Danny! Kelley says that everyone else sat in a chair with a mike. David agress that that's what everyone else did, implying that he wants to be different. Danny finally speaks up to tell him that's the format. Kelley says they have to work together. Up until now, Kelley has been doing pretty well, but then she makes a tactical error by accusing David of being "difficult just to be difficult." David gets all defensive and says that he's not. Kelley tells him to go in and answer the questions.
