Rock Star: Supernova -- Reality Episode Week 2

Big news from CBS. Rock Star: Supernova has changed nights, due to the poor performance it put up last week against So You Think You Can Dance and America's Got Talent. Performance shows will now air on Tuesday nights at 9 EST, and Elimination episodes will air Wednesday nights at 8 EST.

If this week's reality episode is any indication, there will be at least a few awful performances -- not exactly what CBS was hoping for to turn the show's fortunes around.

After Matt's elimination, the rockers raised a toast in his honor at the mansion. Phil recognized that he survived elimination because of his song choice more than his performance. Only half-jokingly, Ryan told Phil, "We don't know how you're still here."

Chris felt that his own continuing presence was deserved, and then told Lukas that Phil probably wasn't long for the competition. Privately, Lukas said that Chris had better do more to show why all of his self-confidence is warranted.

Dilana wasn't sure that being picked for the season's first encore was entirely a good thing. She feared that early favoritism might earn her enemies in the mansion, and she wasn't comfortable with the added pressure -- a surprising change from the fearless performance she gave.

When it came time for the second round of song selection, contestants took the task much more seriously than they did the first time. Phil became nervous when he only recognized three of the fourteen possible songs.

Zayra wanted to sing "Violet" by Hole, until she heard Jill practicing the vocals. Since she didn't know the song particularly well, and Jill did such a good job just practicing it, Zayra traded songs with Jill.

The song Zayra wound up with, "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks, was just as unfamiliar to her as the Hole song. It showed during rehearsals with the House Band. About Zayra's rehearsal, house band leader Paul said simply, "It's really bad."

Chris felt sure that he'd erased all memories of his wretched rendition of "Roxanne" with his performance of "L.A. Woman." But Paul said that Chris wasn't out of the woods yet. Paul repeatedly tried to teach Chris the melody of his song, "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, but Chris was never able to correctly repeat the melody back to Paul.

Eager to show her versatility, Dilana decided to rearrange Johnny Cash's classic "Ring of Fire" as a ballad. The House Band tried to get into the spirit of the rearrangement, but predicted that Dilana will either get all of the audience votes or none at all.

Dilana was aware of the risk she was taking. "It could be the death of me."

And emphasizing just how long people's memories are, she said, "It could be my 'Roxanne'."
