They all leave the island of Mauritius and head to Madagascar.

Tyler and James already look a little worse for wear and the stress is showing between them. They’ve made an alliance with Rob and Kimberly because they feel that they have no other choice. Lord knows the Addicts can’t seem to work a map.

The Six Pack is also busting up a little, The Billies are still innocent and believing while the Bama Girls have decided that they are the smartest ones in the pack. Whatever….I hope they go packing just from attitude alone. The Billies are just ….. goofy.

They all make it to Madagascar, the Billies in the lead and head off to the Black Angel which is a landmark that they have find. Rob and Kimberly, driving through town, are discussing how these people die early because they breath in exhaust fumes and they don’t eat enough protein so they have underdeveloped brains. Nice, huh? He’s the man I wanna bring home to my momma….

We hit the first ever, Intersection. 2 teams must join up until further notice, great huh? So, Rob and Kimberly and the Addicts will merge until further notice. They run into the Fast Forward and they must go to the downtown market and eat cow lips. How damn gross, but hey… I wanna see them do it!

The Beauty Queens make it to the Intersection and wait for the next team to come for their new buddies. The Bama Girls and the Billies team up and hit for the Fast Forward. That least the Beauty Queens and The Cho Bros. Hopefully, the Cho Bros will just get on the stick and make something happen. But does that stop the B Queens to make some retarded racist remark.

The Detour is Long Sleep or Short Letter. In Long Sleep, teams have to make their way to the market, find the mattress vendor, cover 8 foam mattresses with material to finally deliver them about one mile away through the windy alleys of the town. In Short Letter must travel 3.5 miles to make paper. They have to make and decorate 28 sheets of pretty paper.

The Billies and Bama Girls argue over doing the Fast Forward, the Billies want to, obviously, but the Bama Girls say to just to the for sure thing. And frankly it’s … smart. Over at the Fast Forward they are all freaking out…haha….except for Tyler. He’s all..”hey, eat it..whatever..just eyes on the prize” and he’s chowing like they are Big Macs. The other ones are gagging and barely choking them down. It’s brilliant. I’d like to see Kimberly just puke everywhere. They are all patting him on the back. “He can’t swim but he can eat cow lips”. I love it.

The B Queens and the The Cho Bros made short work of it. They are toting them one mile, they get a little lost. They get the next clue and they are separated. They have to get 4 miles to some LONG assed name place…Totorathaboato LKJMFOSIDJFSJDNFSDJFNSKDHF. They get their next clue there.

Back at the Fast Forward, Kim is still having a hard time with the lips, she actually yakked. So, it’s great….they needed more drama surrounding those lips! It gets to the point that Rob is cutting up her hunk of lips.

The damn cursed Chos have gotten in another broken car! But that didn’t seem to slow them up too much. Thank God. I love me some Chos.

The B Queens hit the second clue first, and run into a Road Block. They have to find rubber stamps while their teammate has gone to the Pit Stop ahead. The Chos get to it shortly after and Godwin is off to hunt for stamps. The one B Queen rips it up, gets the stamps and head out.

Still at the cow lips, Kimberly has another attack of the hurl. The people behind them are cheering them on, and Kimberly is the only one left to finish the lips. But damn, she kicked ass and did the lips. They are on their way to Cathedral Andahalo to the Pit Stop.

The Billies and Bama Girls finally make it to the stamps, one of them is obviously going home. No sweat of my nose on either of them, that’s for sure.

They all make it to the mat, and the Billies have the 30 minutes to wait but the Bama Girls make it across the mat while they had 20 minutes left.

Across the mat -

1. Beauty Queens
2. The Addicts
3. Rob and Kimberly
4. The Cho Bros
5. Bama Girls
6. David and Mary - Last and Eliminated

First stop this leg, is Mauritius. What a gorgeous stop! What I love the most is how each time has pronounced it wrong! Haha, a little geography perhaps folks?

The Billies leave first since they came in first. Booketing? What the hell is Booketing?!

Of course, they all end up on the one and only flight together. The Beauty Queens are just being horribly bitchy to the Bamas, and man I love that. I think that any moment their heads will explode! They try to get The Addicts tickets to be sure that they get on the flight. But hey, we all knew that they would all be on the same flight, they always do.

They get to the island of Mauritus, find their cars, and then get to Grand Baie. They then have to swim to the boat and retrieve the next clue. Which one of these teams is going to freak because of the swim? Well, that would be the Billies! She’s scared of fish and he was tossed in a lake as a kid. Love it. Somehow The Addicts get lost and are in last place. The Chos get their clue, make it to the other side and then wait for the rest of the “Six Pack”. The Addicts make some fast ass swim time and still somehow get lost! They always do somehow.

Off the Case Noyale to get the next clue from the Post Office. Rob and Kimberly, of course, have troubles and drama. He can’t get the car in gear so he starts yelling at her. She yells back and stomps off like a 10 year old. They push the car off the road, so they wait for a new one to come. The Beauty Queens get in a little fender bender and still make it to the Post Office first. They get the Detour. This legs Detour is Salt or Sea. In Salt, they have to drive themselves 2 miles to the salt pit. They have to find a saltshaker that contains their next clue hidden in 3 mounds of salt. In Sea, they have to drive to a nearby dock, pick a Captain and go to an island. They have to find the ships mast and attach it. Then go back to get their next clue.

The B Queens take Sea, and the others take Salt. I love that no matter what happens, Rob and Kimberly always gripe at each other! They swap, and head for the Sea. Then The Addicts also switch and go for the Sea task. Then the Bama girls and The Chos switch. Then the Billies start bitching at each other over it. Which of course, I love. I love when the teams tear into each other. They do end up heading for the Sea task in last place.

The Beauty Queens head to the first Pitstop named Chateau Bel Ombre. Then Rob and Kimberly and then The Addicts. I really want The Addicts to place in the top 3. I didn’t pick them in my game, but… still. I like them. I swear if they get lost, I’m gonna have a hissy. Thank goodness they didn’t get lost. And I’m hoping that the Bama Girls get the boot. They are some bad karma.

1. The Beauty Queens
2. The Addicts
3. Rob and Kimberly
4. The Chos
5. The Bama Bitches
6. The Billies

But they lucked out again, it’s the non-elimination round. I can’t believe they did it so close together.

What is the Intersection that Phil speaks of? Well, next week….we shall see.

This show is getting more and more intense as it goes…. this week, I’m sitting here with butterflies waiting for someone to get across the mat first.

They are on the way to Kuwait City this week. The places they are visiting this season are at least becoming more interesting. They all seem to have the same flight, so where is the big race in that? Haha. I hate it when they do that.

The Cho’s bluffed their asses off so that the Billies could get the Fast Forward. I now love them over and over. I think that I want to have their babies. That’s an amazing thing to do on a race like this. They put themselves in risk to help the Billies, since they will get a 30 minute penalty if they don’t make it to the pitstop first. They do the Fast Forward and promptly make it first, so the battle is now for second place. The Billies made it first, and won a trip for 2 to Jamaica. I think it’s kickin’ that they thanked the Cho’s and gave them the credit for them being first. Very cool on their part that they paid respect to them. I think that they are one of the few shiesty teams on this race. Peter being the worst of the bunch.

The rest of the teams do the first task of the day and all have to climb up and over the dome on the Kuwait City Towers to retrieve a satchel full of puzzle pieces. They take it to the ground, assemble the puzzle with the additional pieces that are in a trunk and head off to the next stop. They all seem to be a little puzzled by it. (All puns intended!) They get the next clue and dash off to the Roadblock.

The task this week, is Manual or Automatic. If they chose Manual they have to fill up 10 bags of camel feed and tote them to a pallet. Sounds easy enough, but damn it’s hot, and these bags are heavy. If they chose Automatic, then they are going to use a robotic jockey to drive a camel. The Cho’s, Rob and Kimberly (he looks just like John LeGuiziamo to me), The Beauty Queens got the Manual done and over with. Peter and Sarah drove around for hours looking for the Camel Club for the Automatic, as did The Addicts. That’s another team I like, they aren’t backstabbing underhanded jerks. But doing the Automatic task was Peter and Sarah, the Addicts and the Divas.

The end result of tonight’s show was:

1. The Billies
2. The Beauty Queens
3. Rob and Kimberly
4. The Divas
5. The Cho’s
6. The Addicts

Last and eliminated were Peter and Sarah. I’m glad for that, because I hate him. I think if I had to watch him for one more week, I’d have thrown something through my TV. Karma is a bitch, Peter, think of that next time you try to screw over someone.

Next week, The Beauty Queens crack up a car….can’t wait for that!

First off are the Bros, leaving to Hanoi. They came in first, so they leave first.

The Addict Models are 2nd on the way. Then out are Rob and Kimberly, I swear, I wanna smack them both.

Peter and Sarah are ready to implode. Sarah has seen him how he really is, and she’s a little wary of him. Hopefully there will be a good meltdown on national TV.

The B Queens get to the first spot, the gardens in Hanoi and they are standing there, listening to crickets, thinking that’s the clue. Haha, dumbasses. They do however, all listen to the clue and then a few get smart, and yank out the taxi drivers and make them listen to the speakers. A bit amusing considering they are speaking in broken English. The clue is for them to taxi to one spot, take a bus to another and then go to the Hydrofoil Harbor. They all hear the clue and then head out in a cluster. The best part is when Rob and Kim get out of a taxi all pissed at the driver. They get another cab and this one is worse. He can’t understand any English at all, and then he can’t even understand Vietnamese! The blown gasket in Rob’s head is becoming abundantly clear here. I can’t wait for him to just go off! Hopefully, he’ll be the first player to get arrested mid race! There always has to be at least one volatile team and I live for it.

Of course, the Billies have made friends every where they have gone. Mary is in the taxi telling the driver how she loves him…and David is saying “Well, we ain’t takin’ him home”. At the Roadblock, the Billies were in 1st place, I’m sure that’s short lived.

The Roadblock consists of them using ascenders to climb up the face of a rock wall. Upper body strength, hands down are the Bros. I mean, hell look at those guns! My favorite is the fact that Peter is constantly having Sarah do all the hard work and she laps it up like a starving kitten. She sits at the rock, waiting her turn and crying. Then he tells her to “pull the handicap placard out and tell them that you are next in line” I mean, holy sh*t…. What a moron. You just know after she does it horribly, he’s gonna smack her around when the cameras are off.

When they finish the Roadblock, they have to travel via boat to a cave where they find the next clue. Rob and Kimberly make it there first and get the clue and it reveals a Detour. They have to do one of the jobs that is vital to the economy in Vietman. This one is called “Over and Under”. Over, they have to ride a boat to a buoy, then row to a supply boat, get fruit, row it to an address for delivery, then row back to the supply boat and give the signed invoice to the Captain who gives them their next clue. In Under, they ride a boat to the buoy, the row a smaller boat to an oyster farm where they harvest 30 basket and take them to the pearl farmer who gives them the next clue. Wow, both seem like a whole lot of arm strength again!

Rob and Kimberly ( the Psychos) chose Under. So they get in the boat, she’s trying to help and he’s knocking her all over the place. Her stock phrase has been “DO not freak out on me”. But, hell, if he didn’t would we all be so intent on watching him? Hellzno. They get to the buoy and of course, they freak the hell out again at each other. She’s gritting her teeth and yelling at him. I LOVE IT. She’s getting all the baskets because he’s too retarded. (Well, or for some reason…) David and Mary AND TNT were all drama over the rowing. It’s great. The Addicts were just rowing fools. Peter is a jerk as always. Sarah asked what can she do it help, and he basically tells her to shut up that he doesn’t need encouragement, he just needs directions. Peter is just losing his shit, almost tipping the boat, yelling at her, yelling at TNT. The Addicts are good, just rowed, got the baskets. The Queens, well, that was some great drama as always. Crying…whining…it makes for good TV. They were so proud of each others accomplishments this episode, it was nice to see.

They then row to another boat, which they takes them 9 miles to Soi Sim Island. The last one there could be eliminated. The Beauty Queens just rowed and rowed then realized they weren’t supposed to row to get Phil. They got the drift that they had to row to the boat and then see Phil.

The teams came to Phil in this order-

The Psychos
Peter and Sarah
The Addicts
The Bros
The Billies
The Divas
The Beauty Queens

And eliminated tonight -TNT …The Queens

My favorite line from the whole show so far is from Terry, he says “As long as there’s a Starbucks nearby, I could live here”. I agree, baby, I totally agree.

I’ve waited for this. I’m hooked on this show, yes I am. I know you are all shocked since I’m so not into TV. (LIE!) But I love this show.

So, this being the first episode, the first leg is from Seattle WA, to Beijing, China. With $66 bucks for this leg. I really am diggin it already, and it’s been nine minutes. Haha.

Here’s my brief initial views on the teams -

Bilal and Sa’eed- Best friends from Cleveland Ohio. Two happy Muslim guys. They made it clear that when it was time to pray, they would stop and pray. I loved that! I thought here is some good TV! I could just imagine them in the middle of some hurried task, and they would just stop midstream, kneel and do their thing. The Muslim angle would have been fantastic to explore on a show like this.

David and Mary- The husband and wife team from Kentucky. He’s a coalminer and she’s a housefrau. Ahhh, HERE is some entertainment. They are forever to be called “The Billies”. This should be interesting to watch, he- the mountain chauvinistic male and her- the blissfully ignorant submissive wife. Ahh, love it. I want to see her tear him a new one at least once.

Duke and Lauren- Dad and daughter from Rhode Island. Now this is where the heart wrenching stuff will take place. They’ve been “estranged” for several years, since the Lauren came out. The Dad actually choked up in an interview shot, saying he was disppointed that she was gay. WOW, nice move there, Pops. But, they are working toward a relationship and there have already been a couple good moments.

Dustin and Kandice- Reigning Miss CA and Reigning Miss NY. Surprisingly, they aren’t kicked off in the first 10 minutes. They are still queens… what can I say. They are the B-Queens. They are pretty bland so far, hopefully they do something pure prissy to keep things funny.

Erwin and Godwin- Two brothers from San Francisco. They are pretty damn funny so far. A little light hearted humor never hurts and this is where we will get it this time around. The one brother went to Harvard and the other was always just a little jealous. But they seem to get along very well. Even had water pistols in the airport, and had airport security confiscate them. Both are physically well built, so that will help them along the way.

Kellie and Jamie- Aaaahh…. of course there had to be at least one team to poke fun at and so far, this is it. Cheerleaders from South Carolina. Yes, I know, I know you don’t have to tell me. They’ve already let us have a little cheer from the pedicab in China. I think that it’s the first of many little spirit episodes we will be privy to.

Lyn and Karlyn- Two single moms from Alabama. They call themselves the “Black Debutantes” so, who are we to take that away from them. The B-Debs it is. Physically they aren’t the strongest of the teams but they seem to have a determination that might get them quite a ways.

Peter and Sarah- He makes and fits prosthetics, and she’s a motivational speaker, and.. an amputee. So, she’s got a personal leg maker, sweet. These two are gonna kill me. She talks a big game but has already tried to use that disability to her advantage. He talks to her like she’s his pet project. “You can do it, baby” “You are trained, you are conditioned!” Some sort of freaky lamaze coach. They compete in Ironman competitions together. But, to me…he seems a little gay.

Rob and Kimberly- From LA,they are bartenders, now there’s a stable relationship if I ever saw one. If you watched AR 9, you will understand. These are our Lake and Michelle Wannabes. He’s rather chauvinistic, talks down to her. And she’s no ray of sunshine either. I can’t wait to see him finally cause this chick to snap. I can’t wait for that to happen! For some reason, he looks like John Leguizamo to me.

Tom and Terry- both from NYC. LOVE THEM! Haha, we have the B-Queens, the Beauty Queens, but these are definitely the A-Queens. They are total entertainment, and fun to watch. They are fun-loving, chatty, and full of the drama.

Tyler and James- both from LA, models, of course. But their kicker is that they are both recovering drug addicts. They showed great pictures of them, all high and dirty. Haha. Just what we wanted to see, right? They are buff, so we can see some shirtless guys in the midst of some beautiful scenery. Let’s just hope they are too stupid.

Vipul and Arti- from Windemere, FL (a suburb of my hometown Orlando). I’m gonna get cavities watching these two. They are just a nice, sweet, in love married couple. They seem in sync, they are a real 24 hour a day team. It’s nice to watch, but I don’t see them lasting long because of their niceness.

They start off this race in Seattle, WA and head over to Beijing China.

Peter and Sarah at the airport end up boarding first because of her leg, and this is an Ironman competitor? That’s just crappy. She can do a race around the world, but she can’t get on the plane with everyone else? This is when Erwin and Godwin have the water guns and are having a fun time until the airport security take them away. All in all, no drama yet, they all get on the planes, and make it over to China. They have to make it to the Gold House Restaurant to get their first clue. But when the first team arrives, it’s a roadblock. A roadblock is a task that only one person on the team can perform. I love the first roadblock, I mean, really…. fisheyes on the first day? Love it! Phil is a genius. I can’t wait until this thing gets in full swing. This is going to be vicious!

The surprise after Gold House Restaurant was that the last team to arrive was sent home already. Unfortunately, it was the Muslims, Bileel and Sa’eed and I wanted them to win! I thought for sure that would have been awesome if they would have taken the whole thing. They were so calm, so spiritual. But, alas, it’s not to be. There is going to be one more elimination this episode also at the Pitstop, which is the Great Wall of China. The following morning, they open clues at their designated times and learn they have to travel in a WWII motorcycle and sidecar to get their next clue. Once there, they get the races first Detour. That’s an actual task that the team must complete to get their next clue. This one, Labor or Leisure. With Labor, they have to go to an open market, and use traditional Chinese materials and pave a section of sidewalk. They must do it exactly as shown. In Leisure, they have to perform a relaxation dance balancing a ball on a paddle. Oy, no thanks, I’ll take the labor as most of the teams did.

Once they get on the grounds of the Great Wall, Peter and Sarah are about to make me puke. He’s all…lamaze coaching her… blah blah blah. But at the climb, she’s screwed and can’t do it. Finally all the teams get up the wall and the last across the line was Vipul and Arti. They were so sweet when they were getting the boot all the way home to Florida. Next week, it’s on to another country, another task and more drama.

Finale Night …. wow, what a hard night this is going to be. I’llbe a little sad that it’s over. Now how will I ever see my Lukas? Besides, I’m a TV junkie! Good thing that the Fall Season is starting next week!

Out of the top four, the bottom two were Magni and Toby, not really a shock though, huh?

Magni sang “Fire” yet again by Hendrix but it’s still so damn bland.

Toby with the Billy Idol… Hayseuss Maria… what is his deal? He’s stalkerish at this point.

But alas, Magni is headed back to Iceland. To his family…where he really belongs to be honest.

The final three, Toby, Lukas and Dilana are crazy business. I still think it should have been Storm instead of Toby, but what can I say. They do a great recap of each of their time here. A little montage of tunes and pics of them throughout the competition.

The guys want to hear them sing again, so up first is Lukas. *sigh* He does “Bittersweet Symphony” again and it’s really one of my favorite songs that he did.

Next, Dilana. She does “Zombie” which was amazing the first time, but this time, it was a weird warbly kind of thing. Some weird notes she was hitting, it was still good, just not as good as the firs time.

Last is Toby, he does “Somebody Told Me”. *yawn* I don’t know what it is about this guy that just puts me to sleep. He’s just… off.

They do their little chit chat at the end of the performances.

First for Toby, Jason says his singing hasn’t ever been in question and that his voice always cuts over the guitars. But…he’s next to go home. G’day Mate. He at least is humble about it, and says that Dilana and Lukas are awesome and that they have been from day one. That he took time to grow into a good performer and whomever Supernova gets it will be great. That was nice, I’ll give credit where it’s due.

At the end, it’s just Dilana and Lukas at the end, and they take a commercial because Gilby says they need more time. I’m on pins and needles here. I also can’t believe that I was that close to being dead on. I surprise even myself.

After the commerical, the guys address the last two standing.

Lukas, Tommy says some glowing things ….

Then he says great things about Dilana, of course.

And finally, here it comes…..

The winner is my boyfriend Lukas! It’s nice to know that all my thousand votes counted! They did say that he had the highest number of votes and they listen to their fans.

But the surprises roll on. They love Dilana, and they aren’t going to leave her hanging. So, Dave wants her to come and play with the house band on the road. Gilby said that he will help write and produce her album. And Dave also said that he wants to play on her record.

So, I think the end of this one was really great. I mean, my boyfriend Lukas wins and gets to tour with Supernova… and Dilana who is a great artist also, gets a record and gets to tour with them also. Nice. Hopefully, she won’t sing any of the songs that she wrote…. umm.. Supersoul? No thank you.

Now the speculation begins as to which washed up band will get a new spark by dragging their asses through Rock Star. Van Halen? Alice in Chains? How about Flock of Seagulls?

Any ideas?

They do the viewer’s choice encore which went to Ryan Star. The audience was really happy to see him. He does his “Back of Your Car” song. Which I can say is the only thing I have ever not hated from him. He’s got a new album coming out named “Dark Horse”. Since he won the viewer’s encore, he drives off in a new CRV. Sweet.

After a nice montage of the last four standing, the performances begin. They are going to do a cover and then their original. So, Toby goes first and does “Karma Police” by Radiohead. He needs to lose the Erik Estrada “CHiPs” sunglasses. Ugh,they are tacky. And the weightlifting glove? Oy. His voice isn’t prime this evening, I will tell you that. He’s no Thom Yorke, not that Thom Yorke is a great vocalist. Then for his original, he brings Magni up to play guitar. Ploy? Or genuine act of kindness? He gets okay from Tommy, really good from Dave, Jason and Gilby. So, who knows. I’m just hoping that he’s not the winner here. He’s so bland to me.

Next up, Lukas doing Coldplay “Fix You”, by the way, my favorite song by them. I’m biased. I admit it, I like my little freak. He kicked it quite well, in my cheesy opinion. Something about a dude that wears more eye makeup than I have in years. I am admittedly part of the Rossi Posse. He does an acoustic version of his song “Headspin” which was just great. There were shots of chicks in the crowd singing along… nice. Dave called out that Paula Abdul was in the audience tonight. He also said that he would totally watch Lukas for 2 hours, Tommy and Gilby loved it.

It’s Dilana’s turn. She does a great version of “Roxanne” by the Police. She looked great too, it was regular Dilana, not dreadlocked whacky Dilana. Straight hair, leather dress and a kickin’ cane. The 3 remaining dudes come in behind her and sing. It was quite rockin’. And then she says, “Let’s hear it for my boyfriends!” Love it. Her original cover isn’t the best of the contestants but ….. What was with the total crotch shot? She is wearing a short dress and then kicks up her leg? Then she runs into the crowd and sings to Paula. Haha, gratuitious. She wanders up in the nose bleed seats and belts it out. Of course they all loved her, sang her praises so…I’m thinking that my original prediction was right on, she’s going to take this competition.

Magni closes it out with “Hush”, the old Deep Purple song. Ouch. Not the best I have heard from him at all. Rather screechy in some parts. But the crowd really liked it, and were getting into it. His original is alright, I could see it selling. He’s a rather boring front man. Tommy said that his original was rather unforgettable. I think Magni altogether is forgettable.

So tomorrow, the end of the beginning of Supernova. I must go vote for Lukas….

I bid you adieu… ’til tomorrow.

The final five will become the final four in just a few minutes and I have a good feeling about this one. They all did a great job last night, Supernova was truly impressed.

The new Supernova track is called “It’s All Love” and this is the one that I hate the least so far. Magni was the lucky one to sing this one tonight. He seemed to be having a little trouble with the high notes though. I’m still floored to see Jason Newsted playing along with this mainstream rock sound though. He seems to be getting into it and that’s either a great act, or he’s mellowing with age.

The final five arrived tonight in five new Honda Elements and the person who gets chosen for the encore will be winning the car they arrived in.

The encore singer tonight is Toby. Another rendition of “Throw it all Away” and catchy and cheesy as it was last night, expect this time, Toby gets a car.

At some point, all five were in the bottom three last night. Brooke did say that there was only a handful of votes that determined the bottom three and there were record number votes.

Storm is in the bottom three and doing “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd. Great rendition, if I do say so myself. At the end of the song, there are a few tears and she says that it was for her mom. And see….that’s not cheesy, because she actually KNOWS her mother.

Dilana is next in the bottom three and she’s whipping out the Cheap Trick. But WTF is that? It’s like a bad punk hoedown. It’s just horrible, and yet I see Tommy bopping along. Please tell me that he’s drunk. She ends the retardfest with some Bruce Dickinson yell. But they are applauding! WHAT? I’ve lost a little bit of respect here.

Last in the bottom three is my freak, Lukas. So, it appears, that one of my final three is going home tonight. He’s going to “Headspin” again but it sounds much better tonight. I can’t believe my choices for the top three are tonights bottom three.

This is so nerve-racking. Waiting through these stupid commercials!

Gilby likes the fact that Storm changed it up, but she’s been in the bottom three a few times so that’s a concern. Dilana also, being in the bottom three is a concern for them. Lukas is safe so I get another week with my freak but still sad that my Storm has been sent home. She’s an amazing performer and we haven’t seen the last of her. It was the most heartfelt goodbye from the guys. They were all so sad to see her go but they’ve all said that they will be playing on her track. Whether or not that happens, remains to be seen but it’s still amazing to be said.

Next week, the beginning of the end. Lukas, Dilana, Toby and Magni. Hmph. We shall see.

This week is going to be especially tough, as each of the final five have to perform an original composition and one of the cover songs provided.

They each have gone and wrote a song with Gilby during the week, and apparently Dilana doesn’t have the ’stuff’. Lukas came half prepared and Toby was spot on with an energy that Gilby liked.

First up for her set, is Dilana. She ripped a calf muscle in rehearsal but was carried out to a stool to perform “Behind Blue Eyes” by the Who. I have to say, her version wasn’t bad at all. She stayed on the stool and the guitar player came over and sang harmony with her. Her original song was called “Super Soul” and quite a tasty nugget. If she wrote that, why couldn’t she show that to Gilby during their session? Stage fright of sorts? She got off the stool and rocked out on one leg. Dave didn’t like the original, Tommy did and Gilby still thought that she was too literal in her lyrics.

The New Year’s Eve show is sold out so they have added another date on New Year’s Day. The house band is Supernova’s opening act. Not bad.

Magni is up next, the Iceman Cometh. He picks The Beatles “Back in the USSR” and well, it’s not bad but not my fave Magni performance by far. He just seems uncomfortable with the track. His original is called “When the Time Comes” and it’s a rockin’ tune, I have to say that I like it. Still not the big Magni fan, but his original song was good, it would have been better with someone else singing it.

Dave liked both performances, Tommy thought that both of the songs sounded the same and Magni had a little zinger to throw back, saying “Umm, they were both sung by me”. Tommy took it well. Gilby did agree that since he was doing an original, he should have taken his performance up a level.

Storm hits the stage next doing “Suffragete City” by Bowie with Dave Navarro on guitar. He wanted to come and rock that song with her. She rocked that song, but her Dramarama performance either. Her original “What the What is Ladylike” was really great but not really a Supernova song either but that didn’t stop Tommy rockin’ hard to it. Dave said that being on stage with her was great and he liked her original song also. Tommy and Gilby loved her original and said her performances were great.

Lukas is kickin’ a stripped down version of “Livin’ on a Prayer” but damn, freak, what are you doing?! I love him, I do, I love his voice but he should have kicked that song into high gear. That could be a fatal mistake for him at this point in the competition. His original is called “Headspin” and yet again, it needed to kick and it didn’t. My poor Lukas might be going back to Canada. Dave thought it was good that he showed two sides to himself. Gilby said that he gets inspired by watching him perform. Wow.

Toby doing “Mr. Brightside” wasn’t bad. He’s got a bland voice for that bland song. If Toby takes this whole thing, I won’t be buying any Supernova tickets or CD’s. The chicks dig him though but I don’t see why. His original “Throw it all Away” was rather punkish and not really thrilling me. He’s got to stop with the stage gimmicks, running the crowd and mugging for the camera. Tommy creeped up behind him and grabbed his ass… what was that about?! Dave said that his original was instantly memorable, which is true. Tommy , Gilby and Jason all said he’s a performer.

The first few minutes of voting gave us, Toby, Lukas, Magni, Storm and Dilana in that order. We all know those positions will flip flop quite a lot over the next few hours and tomorrow, we can find out who will be in next weeks finale.

I was really anxious to see this results show tonight. I’m catching a cold, feeling crappy but the thought of hanging out in my bed and watching was something to look forward to today.

The Supernova song, “It’s On” was given to Lukas, my freak. From the first notes, it was better than the Hey Ho song from last week. That thing was a train wreck. Lukas rocked it out, he didn’t constrict his voice and he played it up to the audience. So, I’m sure that Jason’s happy with that performance. One thing I did notice is that Jason is wearing that Voivod shirt AGAIN. Doesn’t he have enough money to buy more shirts?!

Toby was handed the encore, but hearing him do a bad Billy Idol impression was enough the first time around. At least he’s dressed better tonight, those hanging suspenders last night were just a touch too much.

In the bottom 5, is everyone but Magni, which shocks me a little. Now it’s getting tougher. Ryan is the first one in the bottom 3, and he does “Baba O’ Riley”. It’s not bad, but that screech of his is on my last nerve. He sprays a bottle of champagne, WTF? Then he’s on the stacks? He’s trying hard to be the crazy man but it’s so contrived. He pretty much just screams the whole song, no key, no pitch, just screams. Not real impressed. Hopefully Supernova won’t be either. He needs to go back to his piano, write emo ballads and call it a day.

Storm is the next in the bottom 3, and she’s just fine with singing again. She’s going to do the Beatles, “Helter Skelter”. She’s screeching too, is it screech night? Are the mics set funny? What is the malfunction tonight? She hops in the crowd and tries to get the crowd to mosh. If they would have actually done it, it would have be great. Then she hops up with Supernova, and falls into Tommy’s lap, and you know he loved it. She wraps up her song with a little crowd surfing. All in all not to shabby but, not her best by far.

The last of the bottom 3 shocks my world. Dilana?! WTF? But her and Lukas were enough to give me stroke. She does Talking Heads “Psycho Killer”, not really feeling this one. Her arrangement is rather weird. But I would be shocked if they sent her home. As Gilby told her, she has earned credit with them for all her previous kick ass performances.

Of course, the Hatchetman has to do his task and he chops Ryan. Not really surprised but I was thinking how much they like him and how much Storm hasn’t been up to snuff lately. The hatchet could have fallen on Storm, so she had better step up her game from here on out.

Next week, Dilana, Toby, Magni, Storm and Lukas had better bring their A games. I’ll see ya then.
