Anyway, after ten weeks of auditions and antics, zombies and hobbits, shit and shinola, it's finally time for Supernova to select the singer that will lead them straight into obscurity. Or the $2.99 bin at Wal-Mart, whichever comes first.
Unfortunately, my TiVo missed the first few minutes of Tuesday's show because it was busy taping House. But that's okay, because House featured a young boy who bled out of his ass. Not even TheDave can top that. Or can he...?
The recap starts with Dilana introducing the winner of the Verizon Wireless Fan Favorite Encore: It's Zayra! Yay cooter-lasers! Actually, it's just Ryan, who immediately starts kissing up to the band, talking about how much he loves them and can't wait for their record to come out. Newsflash Ryan: Supernova hates you. Else you'd still be in the competition. Besides, it's pretty much a given that your record will outsell theirs, so I'd lose the whole sycophant routine.
HeadOn. Apply directly to the forehead.
Ryan is going to perform his original song: "Back of Your Car". I like this song. But then again, I like pretty much any song about the end of the world. Except, ironically, "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by REM. Go figure. Unfortunately, tonight Ryan seems more interested in screaming than singing. But it was cool to watch him repeatedly punch himself in the forehead.
Afterward, Brooke talks to Ryan about his new album, called "Dark Horse". Ryan thanks TheDave for giving him the name. Hey, based on some of the things you can find about TheDave on the internets, I think Ryan should count his lucky stars that a silly name is all TheDave gave him.
Brooke has a little surprise for Ryan. As the Verizon Wireless Fan Favorite, he also wins a new Verizon V-Cast phone. Yay product placement! And, since he was the eliminated rocker the audience "craved" to hear again, he also wins a new Honda CR-V. What? I guess the CR-V's new tagline must be "Eliminated". Actually, it's "Crave". Maybe it's my Midwestern upbringing, but when I think "crave" I don't think Honda. I think sliders. I think maggot muffins. I think Harold and Kumar. I think you know where I'm going with this one...
Next, we get a look back at the summer that was. I'm not going to bother recapping Brooke's recap, but I will hit on a few highlights. (If you're really curious, you can relive the entire season, TVgasm-style, here.)
Hey, remember when TheDave acted like he was sleeping through Toby's performance of "Runaway Train"? Yeah, that was funny. Although not nearly as funny as this.
Man, that never gets old.
Something that did get old, however, was the band's incessant way of hitting on anything with a vagina. And Dilana.
Queen of the Darned.
Lukas, meanwhile, had trouble with enunciation. Brooke says that over the course of the season, though, Lukas answered his critics. Her proof? A clip of him not enunciating.
As for Magni, I'm sorry, who was he again?
We also got a quick recap of Supernova's original songs. Of the ones they've played so far, the one they sang with Toby sing was my favorite. But really, that's kind of like saying Rudolph Hess was my favorite Nazi.
Back to live action... Like me, Brooke can't believe the summer is coming to an end either. Not to mention her chance to ever look like this again. But breeding will do that to a person.
She gives us a brief rundown of how the finale is going to work. Each rocker will perform two songs: a cover, and the original they performed last week. At the end of tonight's show, we get to vote for our favorites. Tomorrow night (Wednesday), the bottom two will perform again and Supernova will make their first elimination of the night. Then, the final three will perform one last time before Supernova has to choose their new lead singer.

Thanks for ending the recap with THAT picture, copygodd. I'll miss it.
If Super(suck)nova wanted an unintelligible singer they could have gone with the Indian guy in that Tunak Tunak Tan video (and thanks for putting that tune in my head, by the way). He couldn't be any worse than the Hobbit.
Thanks for all the snarky fun, copygodd, you giddy little school girl.

thanks cgodd for entertaining me up in this bitch with the final SN recap. More entertaining than Lukas that's for sure. Do you think that all the people that bought tickets to their show before knowing who the winner was are wanting a refund now?

Supernova obviously didn't take into consideration how much p*ssy they can get on our with Lukas... Toby was robbed. They would have been drowning in it if he had won!

Love the Jasonbot! The Chenbot has obviously infiltrated Supernova. Thank God someone entertaining has because they just sucked out choosing Frodo, err Lukas, to front their band. Not that I ever expected to actually hear of Supernova again, but if anyone were to give them a chance of ANY successful songs, it would have been Toby. Yes that scrumptious morsel of vegemite not only sang the best, but could have reached a wider audience. Well at least with Lukas, T-Lee won't have to be the wingman.
I was wondering the same thing as Mrs. Copygodd about Paula's seat. I came to the conclusion that it was so they could claim that they couldn't reach her with a microphone. Maybe AI should consider that tactic too.
Shame on you for that picture of Dave at the end. Normally I skip the link. Now not only is my day ruined, but I must go console my 3 year old who is rocking in the corner, tucked safely in the fetal position.

"So, what did you think? Are you happy with the band's choice? Upset? Ambivalent? Are you surprised I actually bothered to recap such a lackluster finale? Or that I'm ending my recap with this?"
Not much.
No.
No.
Yes.
YES.
No. That never gets old.
Thanks for the ride cg ~

Hmmm, the hobbit or the undead? Newsflash: they both suck!
Too bad that after 10 weeks of marketing the "Supernova" name, they can't use it :-)
Maybe they'll name the band "Lost to Obscurity"

Copygodd, Thanks for suffering through Rockstar for us. Your recaps and MYL and Dava's live blogs were WAY more interesting than the 15 minutes I devoted to this Craptastic show. And thanks for the looooooonnnnngggg title that has totally stretched out the tvgasm page.

I can't believe they picked someone who can't sing for *&(* to front their band. Ugh! As my sister who thinks she's valleygirl would say, "Like gag me with a pitchfork!" What irritated me was T-Lee talking out his butt. "We're going to go with what the fans say and go with the person who had the most votes. Well if that's the case, Dilana was the only one who was not in the bottom. At all. Dilana had the most votes. If that's the case, then Dilana should be the lead singer. Period, end of story. But it was obvious had they picked a woman, they'd be fending off plenty of sexual harassment lawsuits from her because of T-Lee, so I think they were safer going with a guy who couldn't sing for ^%^^. I think they proved it with T-Lee's many sexist comment's about how skin he wished he could see from Storm, how after one performance from Dilana he out and out said something to the effect, "Dilana, I wanna ." Sexist pig. The only reason why I watched was for Gilby, Jason, and Dave in the beginning and grew to like the talent they had on there. Ryan, Magni, Dilana, Dana with some growing, Tobi, and Storm. At least I have their albums to look forward to as well as Mig Ayesa's and I can take pleasure in the fact that the Hobbit's album will be in the dollar store sometime soon. Ugh, what a wasted summer. LOL
Thanks again for the recaps though, I always do look forward to them and have them on my Morning Coffee Mozilla Extention. I don't know if I can't thank you for the Dave photo though, somehow I don't think my eyes will recover from the trauma. LOL

Did anyone notice the chic by the stage singing to all of Lukas' songs like she was in some sort of a trance? Well I did and found out later it was his girlfriend:

This was classic. She needs to just pack up and go home now - she's history.

Oh, the Lukealousy!
Anyway, Happy Homemaker (#9), Dilana was never in the bottom three. That doesn't mean she got the most votes.

Of all the nights for the DVR to malfunction - I didnt get to see Wednesdays show. After reading the much anticipated recap I guess I didnt miss much.
At least Toby wont have to duel with TBag for any girls that might be drunk enough to want to hang with the band. And Dilana, while interesting, proves too scary for even Tommy and her boobs arent big enough.
Supernova (or whatever we have to call them now) as a band will suck but I really enjoyed the show...if for nothing else, it got me through the summer and it gave us all a lot of snark ammunition!
Rock on Luckas of the Shire - your 15 minutes are already up!

Great finale. I love the way this show just trundles along, with very little in the way of filler. And I love they way for the last few shows, I really had no idea who'd get the boot next.
I didn't think any of them was a perfect fit for the band. Magni and Toby were solid but too bland. Lukas and Dilana had the "edge", but I didn't think either exactly meshed with the band. Lukas did kinda grow on me though, seemed a lot more affable in recent weeks. I'm wondering if they'll give him a de-makeover or something. The glitter lip gloss is ridonkulous! And there's no doubt Dilana's a strong performer, but I don't think they were as impressed with her songwriting, and I think she is more well-suited to being a solo act.
Happy Homemaker, methinks you're overspeculating a bit. Until I read an interview from Dilana saying "Tommy was a pig", I'm going to assume she was OK with him, as she said explicitly on the show. He's a giant ass, but one that I imagine is more bark than bite. Nor am I going to hold it against them for not having a female lead vocalist, when 95% of male bands do the same. If I felt she was leagues better than Lukas, I might be more miffed, but he did have his moments too.
Although in the end, I really couldn't give a shit about the viability of Supernova, not my thing at all, but I did enjoy the show itself. And of course the recaps, copygodd.

OK, so it's Lukas. EVS. (That is the best line to come out of this series and it's already old and busted.) Can we all agree that thank [me] the chosen one was not Matt Hoffer?
Give me a few months of football and beer therapy, and I will be ready for RS: House Band or RS: Van Halen or even RS: ___ and the Heywoods, so long as CG recaps it.

I loved your recap, even better than sitting thru that show. What a troll Lucas is. Love the Dave picture.
I'll buy their CD when I need a new kitty litter scoop.

Between this show and Big Brother, CBS sure has lowered its standards for reality show winners! But I guess I'd rather see Lukas flop with Supernova than any of the other singers.
Copygodd, please tell me you will be recapping the Bachelor again? You and your hilarious recaps are the only reason I bother to watch anymore.

i REALLY hated this. I was so sure Dilana would/SHOULD've won. She had the most talent and the band KNEW it. They should name the band SWaMAM. (sorry we *assholes* made a mistake)

What a horrible choice. I disagree with the masses, it appears, since I thought Magni was the right guy for that band. Shows what I know. But I love how they got rid of him by saying he was more of a 'band member' than a 'lead singer.' This coming from three former 'band members' asking the winner of this competition to 'join their band.'
You suck, Supernova! But you put on a good Awful Show. For next year, some ways the next one could be better:
1. Keep the kooks. Zayra left too soon. Kooks are good TV.
2. Get rid of mall rats earlier. Jill was pathetic. Patrice was cringe-worthy.
3. Brooke needs to wear less clothing and go back to heavy flirting with TheDave. I missed hearing "anddavenavarro" out of her, too.
4. The product placement is terrible, but at least you're not stuck giving away Assteks. But kick it up a notch, this is rock n roll! Give away vodka and condoms, at least.

Has anyone caught this yet? Lukas Rossi Not Boyfriend Material? Seems at the after party, he left his girlfriend stading out in the cold. Dilana even tried getting her into the party, but to no avail. Lukas came out, talked to his girlfriend, then went back into the party, alone. Seems Lukas wasn't supposed to be seen with a girlfriend. Got to love loyalty.

Glad I didn't bother to watch the last of this crap-assed show. Why bother to have female contestants at all, given the perduring sexism of the old shits making the choices? It's tiresome, seeing terrific women passed over for some talentless little boy, just because he doesn't have the scary wee-wee.

I'm a bit late for the party, but we only just saw the final here in Merrie England.
I feel sorry for Dilana. The last couple of weeks her cocky, self-obsessed persona slipped just a tad and underneath there was a wide-eyed, slightly insecure little girl. And she really wanted to win - did you see her face when Gilby offered to produce her album? Her eyes lit up and she suddenly looked 10 years younger.
Lukas, on the other hand, was the most rockstarish contender and therefore the likeliest winner, but his tuneless, pretentious goth schtick is totally unsuited to Supernova's cheesy cock rock. He undoubtedly thinks, quite rightly, that his new "bandmates" (read "employers") are a bunch of 45-year-old has-beens.
One album, one tour. Bye Lukas.
