Initial bottom three? It's Jill, Zayra, and Patrice. And no, they didn't use the same footage from a previous week for this, because Brooke is still wearing this week's outfit. She also claims she "couldn't say goodnight without a huge thanks to our House Band." I don't know, she's managed it plenty of times before. Anyway, thanks, House Band! Oh, and as for their homework assignment of writing words and melodies to a Supernova track, there was no mention of that tonight. If you want to see how it turned out, you're going to have to look into one of those webisode thingies that Brooke is always going on about. I can tell you right now that nobody won. Worse yet, nobody lost.

Wednesday

Brooke does some more ominous envelope-waving, promising that tonight, Supernova "will send the sixth rocker packing." And then some. But I'm getting ahead of myself. After the intros, Brooke claims that last night's performances still give her goosebumps. Whatever. I think that for Brooke to experience goosebumps outside of a swimsuit shoot, she would have to actually experience some emotion, which I'm not buying. In any case, it's merely a segue into some Mansion footage.

So one day last week, the Supernovices were dining al fresco when Gilby rolled up on his motorcycle. Dilana in particular is excited to see him, jumping up and down and generally making even more of a dork of herself than the purple sleep mask pushed up on her forehead already is. Gilby announces that he has "a present for the final ten." Which he obviously didn't bring on his motorcycle, because that would be a pretty small gift. Instead, he leads the Supernovices into a room with ten Gibson electric guitars all set up on stands, in every color and model. Gilby tells them they already have names on them. I don't know who got stuck with the Flying V, but interestingly, Storm got a bass. She hugs it like it's a teddy bear. A very hard, very noisy teddy bear. Which seems like it would be about Storm's speed.

Then it's song selection time, and we are reminded that only Dilana claimed the chance to sing with Gilby. There's a whole recap of last night's episode in general, which, as always, I refuse to meta-recap.

Back at the Mansion after last night, Toby pops open a bottle of champagne in the yard, and Jill dances around in the spray like a first-grader under a lawn sprinkler. After the sun goes down, the women are all hanging out together, and Jill volunteers that everyone was nuts not to take the Gilby song. Storm protests that there's nothing that says they have to. Jill says she thinks people are "afraid to get up. It comes down to how serious you are about playing with the band." Storm points out that Jill could have gone for it herself, and Jill correctly responds that she played with Gilby a couple of weeks ago. "I already got up and I already proved to them, so," she says, which is less correct. Storm jumps on that, saying Jill got "spanked" for her performance. Which is less of a courage issue than the recurring Jill-being-stupid issue, but before we can delve into that, we get a shot of Toby and Lukas watching this from a safe distance. And because no women can ever have a spirited disagreement about anything without some fratty guy making catfight noises, there's an interview bit where Toby does just that. Jill asks why Storm didn't sing with Gilby, and Storm says that it's because she wanted to sing "We Are the Champions." Well, sure, it has a key change. Be fair, Jill. Storm can't say no to a key change. Jill whatevers that that's Storm's choice. And then Storm interviews that she doesn't feel pressured to prove anything to Gilby. "I know I can," she boasts. "He knows I can." More argument footage, and then Zayra interviews that you have to pick the right song for your voice, or else you might as well hang yourself. Well, we can only hope.
