This week, Brooke introduces Tommy Lee as "the guy who gives bad boys a good name." Evidently, Brooke's writers get paid by the cliché. Then, both TheDave and T-Lee make a show of taking off their shirts. You know, because it's a stripped down performance. Besides, that's just how T-Grease rocks it: shirtless and shameless.

Next, it's time for some footage of the rockers' trip to Vegas last week. Storm says there was champagne and wine on ice and a giant fruit platter. She was totally stoked. Because nothing says rock like a giant platter of fruit. Except maybe a giant cheese plate.

The rockers gather on stage at The Joint in the Hard Rock Cafe, which Ryan describes as an intimate club and an arena at the same time. Kind of like a floor wax and a desert topping. Storm says she looked around and imagined it thick with people, sweating and screaming, and it solidified the point for her: Supernova is people!

Afterward, the rockers took over the penthouse suite, which even has its own bowling alley. Lots of drinky-drinks were drank, smoochie-smooches were smooched and hotel ashtrays were stolen. And that was just the hookers T-Lee ordered! Ryan said it was the kind of party you don't want to leave, but you know is going to end badly. Much as I imagine the last night at Heaven's Gate was, before the followers laced up for their final trip to Blisstonia.

The next day, everyone paid the price for their partying. But at least they were still breathing. Except for Dilana, who hasn't had to use her lungs since the late 1400s. Still, the show must go on, so that night they drug themselves out of bed and gathered for song selection. This week, Gilby will be playing on the Peter Gabriel classic, "Solsbury Hill." Dilana says she wants it, but Toby says he needs it. How much does he need it? Enough to run around the backyard naked, that's how much. Either Toby's still drunk, or he developed a bad chaffing problem in Vegas. If only Cirie were here to check it out for him.

Also up for grabs is the chance to perform an original song. Surprisingly, only two people wanted it: Ryan and Zayra. Ryan says he should get it because he was in the bottom three last week. Zayra says she's always in the bottom, baby, so she should get it. Which is probably true, if you add the words "taking it" before "in". Zayra says she didn't want to do the original song; she had to do it. And once she spotted a tiny little piece of doubt in Ryan, she decided to wait him out. Eventually, he relented and gave it to her. The original song, I mean. Later, she tells us performing her original song is a very risky thing to do, and she might be crazy, but she's also very brave. And by brave, of course, she means crazy.

Back to live action, TheDave says the censors made he and Tommy put their shirts back on, and apologizes for their indiscretion. It's just too bad he didn't apologize for this. Once again, TheDave is shocked, shocked that more people didn't fight for the chance to the original song. Jason can't believe it either. In fact, he's very underwhelmed. Gilby is disappointed in their enthusiasm as well, but totally digs the fact that Toby ran around naked for him. Which says more about Gilby than I really wanted to know.

Since Zayra has the original, TheDave tells her to go first. Her song is called "Lluvia de Mar" (translation: "Cooter Laser of Love") and she performs it totally in Spanish. The least the producers could have done was subtitle it for us, as for all we know she could be singing about how much she hates Supernova yet is strangely turned on by TheDave's NAMBLA membership.
