Rock Star: Supernova -- Elimination Show Week 3

On this week's Rock Star: Supernova, three of the shows least rockin' performers landed in the bottom three. Josh and Dana fought to stay on the show, while Jenny seemed resigned to elimination. The band rewarded her unenthusiastic effort by sending her home.

At the mansion after last night's performance show, Dana complained that the Supernovans were picking on her, and she asked the other women what she was doing wrong. Dilana told her to get dirty, "open your legs" onstage, and don't worry about being pretty. Alongside Storm and Dilana, Dana watched a video of her "It's My Life" performance. Dana admitted that she finally saw why the band had been tough on her.

In another room, Ryan, Toby and Lukas also watched Dana's video. They weren't impressed. Ryan said that Dana was good but didn't belong on this particular show.

At the elimination show, Dana asked Ryan why he hadn't said that to her face. He responded that he had told her not to sing the Bon Jovi song, but that she ignored him.

After Ryan and Dana sorted out their differences, the band asked Magni to give an encore performance of STP's "Plush." His gigantic glasses also showed up for the encore.

Host Brooke reminded viewers that Dana, Jenny, and Ryan were the performance show's early low-vote getters. As the evening of the performance show wore on, Josh and Zayra also spent time at the bottom. As always, the final bottom three was revealed one at a time, just before each performed.

Jenny - "Vaseline" by Stone Temple Pilots
With her skull belt buckle and knee high socks, Jenny looked a lot like Avril Lavigne. Unfortunately, producer Butch wasn't around to appreciate it. Jenny took the stage with slumped shoulders, as if she expected to be eliminated. Jenny jumped around and tried to rock, but the song didn't suit her, and Supernova scowled during the entire performance -- not a good sign.

Dana - "High Road Easy" by Sass Jordan
This was obviously not the first time she performed this song, and she was much more comfortable than she had been during any previous perfomrance. She really saved herself by choosing a song she knew she could rock. Her voice was on, and her confidence boosted her stage presence.

Josh - "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana
The vocal coach totally messed with Josh's head by telling him not to move his jaw from side to side. He's stopped opening his mouth at all, and has been singing with his teeth clenched. He did his best Kurt Cobain impression during this song, which should send the band the message that Josh can sing soul or karaoke, and nothing in between.

After the performances, Tommy called himself "Hatchet Man" and hemmed and hawed and whined that eliminating people sucks -- exactly like he did in the previous elimination shows. This week, he mixed in some Jaws sound effects, making the elimination process even more drawn out and uncomfortable than it needed to be.

Dana was told she was safe. And then Jenny was given the boot. Tommy told her, "You just didn't cut it, baby. It's okay."

Jenny was gracious in defeat and said that the show taught her not to always make safe choices. She felt that being a part of the process "was the best slap in the face" she'd ever gotten.
