And The Wind Cries Zayra... -

This is gonna be the American Idol Rock Star: Supernova episode that everyone talks about. For anyone who hasn't seen or heard the results, steer clear of all media. People will be talking. People will be arguing. People will be pontificating. Take your spot at the water cooler early because it'll be the hottest spot this morning.
Okay, I need to simmer down. I'm acting like a publicist for Fox CBS. Truth is, tonight's episode was a classic Idol Supernova shocker. The kind that you hate to see, but you love to think back on. The kind you'll tell your children's children about when they ask what it was like to live in such exciting times. You'll pat their barcoded little heads and tell them it wasn't bad. They'll look back at you, all wide-eyed and innocent, and laugh at you for pooping your pants again. And here I thought that was just the stench of Supernova's crappiest decision ever.
For those of you keeping score at home, yes I admit I totally stole a good portion of that opening from B-Side's AI recap from the night Chris Daughtry was eliminated. And not because I'm too lazy to come up with my own opening paragraph. (Although I'd be lying if I said that didn't have at least a little to do with it.) Actually, however, it's because I am speechless over the results of tonight's elimination episode. Seriously. I am without speech.
Nothing a beer or six won't take care of, though.
Brooke welcomes us to the elimination episode with another lame segue: "Last night we lost the electric guitars and stripped things down for eight amazing performances. Well tonight, we are losing another rocker." At least she didn't transition into TheDave stripping down for an amazing performance of his own. Because as we all know, that kind of talk can only lead to one thing.
"I'm squishing your head!"
Brooke says they have a huge surprise for us tonight. If only she'd said surprises, then I'd have an excuse to show these again. Of course, she can't tell us what the surprise is this early in the show, so instead she introduces us to the "musical masterminds who are Supernova." I guess she's talking about Gilby, Jason and, since it's Wednesday night, Tommy "The Hatchet Man" Hawk. She says Tommy has promised to keep his clothes on for tonight's show, so maybe it's safe to eat dinner during my recap after all.
It's time for our weekly look back at what happened on the show last night, and, more important, the mansionanigans that took place after the show. Talking about her performance of "I Will Survive", Storm says she took her song seriously vocally, but didn't really take the song seriously. Wow, I never would've guessed that. Later, Lukas, Ryan and Magni are discussing whether or not Storm will be in the bottom three. Survey says... Yes!
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."
Upstairs, Storm is checking out her performance on her Verizon V-Cast phone. While Dilana laughs about it, Storm seems proud of her performance. Which just proves how shitty the service on Verizon V-Cast must be.
Back to live action... TheDave says the audience loved Storm's performance, but he and the band panned it. And he stands by his remarks. Storm says she gave the song 1000% percent. "Because even though it might not be (her) favorite song, it's someone's favorite song." And that's why she gives every song 1000%. I guess the fact that she gave the song a mathematically impossible number explains why she sucked so impossibly bad last night. She ends by saying she thinks she did her best with the time she had, and the material she had. Which might be more convincing had the rest of the rockers not had the same amount of time as she did. Some even had less, because they obviously spent more time on hair and makeup than she did. (LUKAS!)
Stormin' Mormon.
TheDave thinks she sang the song well, but he was missing the sense of irony he thinks the song needed. Other things he was missing: the soft caress of his young Laotian houseboy.
