The show opens with Diddy welcoming you back, pumped for a new season. After a quick recap of last season, he says that this season, you'll be watching the Making the Band 4 guys, Donnie and Danity Kane making their albums. "This is like super Making the Band. This is like Making the Band on steroids."
The first thing we see is an airport with the guys arriving and greeting each other. They're back in New York City. We see Donnie arriving separately, walking the streets of New York. The band guys arrive at the place where they'll be staying. They walk into one room and notice that there are only four beds. One of them says that someone is kicking kicked out. But, then they discover two other beds. Donnie arrives and all six guys are in the house. The guys are staying at Flatotel.
A limo rolls up and out comes Danity Kane. They all talk about the success and great experiences that they've had over the last year, including their platinum selling album and tours. We see Dawn, Aundrea and Shannon talking in a room... we don't know where that room is. (We later find out that it is at the Le Parker Meridien).They're talking about where they want the album to go. Next, we seem them walking down the streets in the evening for a meeting at Bad Boy with Diddy. And then we see the guys walking to the offices as well.

Making the Band 4, season 2 premieres tonight at 10:00 PM ET on MTV. The focus on this season will be following Danity Kane, the Making the Band 4 guys and Donnie as they try to complete their albums in five weeks.
"Everybody is competing for the focus of the label - and myself," Diddy told The New York Post. "It's that behind the scenes pressure, when you're on a record label and trying to all come out at the same time, that people usually don't get to see."
On how they finished their albums so quickly, Diddy explained to the Miami Herald, "I came down with some tracks that I already picked and the albums were about 50 percent done. But still, in three weeks, they got it all done.''

How did "Run's House" get started on MTV?
I got a call from Diddy. Me and [brother Russell Simmons] had these little commercials playing on BET of us promoting sneakers and he just called me out of nowhere and said: "I got an idea. I don't know if you're with this, but you should do a reality show."
