Rock Star: Supernova -- Reality Episode Week 11

The four remaining rockers were sentimental about the end of their journey in the final reality episode of Rock Star: Supernova. Although not sentimental enough to skip some pointless, last-minute bickering.

At dinner following Storm's departure, Magni, Toby, Dilana, and Lukas all said they would miss living with Storm. Then they marveled over the fact that one of them would become Supernova's singer in a matter of days.

Magni tried to quietly appreciate the gravity of their situation by playing the piano, and Dilana hopped over to sit beside him. Puckish Toby couldn't resist the opportunity to exact his messy congratulations on Magni for singing with Supernova that night. Toby slipped Dilana a frosting-laden piece of cake, which she shoved into Magni's face as he played.

The rockers were surprised the next day by MiG, last season's elfin Aussie contestant. MiG handed Toby a set of keys to a new Honda Element, and then MiG jumped in and out of the car, prompting Toby to call him "a funny little man with painted-on jeans."

MiG stuck around to remind the gang of the sobering fact that three of them would not win. Those three need to be prepared to seize opportunities when they see them, as the exposure from the show won't automatically generate multimillion dollar recording deals. MiG himself finally signed a deal recently, and his album will be out in January.

After MiG left, Lukas admitted that he stopped listening as soon as MiG talked about the possibility of losing. Lukas said he showed up to win, and that is his only option. Then Toby gleefully said, "I got a fucking car," and everyone was back in high spirits.

The gang went into the song selection room where they discovered that four of the pictures on the walls had been replaced with shots of them performing. There was close up of Magni screaming into a mic, and a long shot of Dilana in her hoodie on week 1. The shot of Toby featured him surrounded by the girls he dragged on stage a few weeks ago. He shocked Magni when he pointed to a girl and identified her as Ashley from Melbourne, prompting Magni to wonder, "How the hell do you know that?"

Toby and Magni took a special pleasure in critiquing Lukas picture, taken when he performed "Creep." He was making a face that Toby described as "humanly impossible," with his lips puckered and smooshed up against his nose. Lukas remarked, "I look like the Predator. What are my lips doing?"

When it came time for song selection, the rockers received a note instructing them to choose any song that's been performed this season, including Bottom Three songs, or one of four new tracks. In addition to the cover song, the rockers will reprise their originals.

So while the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars enters its second hour of brand new performances, Rock Star will be rehashing four performances we've heard before (twice already in Lukas's and Toby's cases). Not a good move. I'm sure I won't be the only one taping Rock Star in favor of DWTS.

Searching the huge stack of previously performed songs gave the rockers a chance to reflect on those who went before them, a technique Mark Burnett uses in the final episode of each season of Survivor. Magni found Matt's ill-fated Duran Duran song, and all agreed it was best left on the pile.

One of the new songs was "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd, and, despite having dozens of songs to choose from, both Lukas and Dilana decided that they needed that song. Lukas made the point that he gave Dilana what she wanted last week, so she should do him the same favor.

But, just like last week, all it took was someone suggesting a challenging alternative for Lukas to give in. "Fix You" by Coldplay was another of the new songs, and Lukas' initial reluctance to perform a second Coldplay song gave way to the challenge of making it better than the first.

So Dilana got her song and everyone was happy. That is, until she changed her mind and decided that she'd rather sing "Roxanne." She offered "Comfortably Numb" back to Lukas, but he declined.

Dilana, who performed "Every Breath You Take" a few weeks back, practiced her new choice with Magni before exclaiming, "I can't believe I'm doing two Sting songs!" Somewhere, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers asked, "Hey, what about us?"

At rehearsal with the House Band, Lukas said that "Fix You" reminded him of his relationship with his absent father. If Lukas wins, Supernova's first album will be titled "Family Therapy."

Dilana went into her rehearsal session knowing that all she had to do was leave "Roxanne" alone, and she'd avoid the fate Chris suffered for his disastrous rearrangement. But then Dilana ignored her own advice and decided to "strip things down," leaving guitarist Raphael hiding his face in his hands.

As always, band leader Paul voiced the opinion of the masses: "It's perplexing that she would've chosen the song, and then chosen to do it the way she's doing it. I don't particularly care for it, personally. But she likes it."

Dilana went preemptively on the defensive: "If I get crucified for doing this song, then whoever crucifies me needs their head read, because I think it's stunning the way I'm doing it." Then she was shown singing and screwing up the first word--the very title--of the song: "Roxanna."
