S02E03 - Week One - Elimination episode

At the beginning of the episode, Supernova wanted to see an encore of one rocker, which was Dilana. Phil, Chris and Matt were placed in the bottom three based on votes from around the world. Magni, Ryan and Zayra were also in the bottom three at some time during voting. They each performed one cover song of their choosing. Elimination was based on this additional performance and their previous performance. Subsequently, Matt was chosen by the band to be eliminated. Despite praising his previous nights performance of "Yellow" by Coldplay, Supernova claimed that Matt's elimination was based on his song choice; Jason, in particular, had exhorted Matt to "bring the rock" with his selection, and Matt's choice of "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran was seen as not being nearly "rock" enough.

This week, due to his strong performance, Toby was awarded the encore. Zayra, Jill, and Chris found themselves in the bottom three based on the worldwide vote, while Jenny was singled out as the only other contestant to have at some point been in the bottom three during the voting period. Each one performed the cover song of their choice and based on that performance as well as their previous performances the band chose Chris to be eliminated. Supernova pointed out the fact that Chris was in the bottom three two weeks in row and cited that as a reason as to why he was eliminated. The next week, both Gilby and Dave said they at first felt they had made a mistake by not eliminating Zayra (they both told her they had changed their opinions of her).

Supernova deliberated and they stated all three of the contestants gave great performances.

Week Five - In the Mansion Episode

Many of the remaining contestants were stunned that Phil was sent home as many of them, especially the guys, believed that Zayra should have been sent home. The eleven remaining contestants met with Jason Newsted. He walked the contestants through the art of stage performances, stating Supernova was aware that they could all sing, but wanted to know if they could actually lead the band. Song selection this week was done in a different way, with Lukas bringing all the songs outside and laying them on the table. The contestants liked the idea of not being confined and having the long march to the room where the songs are posted. Patrice received the most stress from this when she chose the song "Higher Ground", knowing that Tommy Lee would be playing on the drums.

Dave noted surprise that Toby was standing up and that Lukas wasn't standing up for his performance. Jill was the first to sing for her survival in a performance that not only saved her from elimination, but garnered her a standing ovation with her version of Heart's "Alone". Supernova also commented to Patrice that it really is saying something to them if she was in the bottom three even with Tommy playing drums behind her.

She performed an energetic "Razorblade", which was originally performed by Blue October. Supernova noted they had never heard the song before and that both of her performances this week were risky. However, they applauded her for taking these risks. The next rocker in the bottom three was Patrice, singing "Celebrity Skin" by Hole.

The seven remaining contestants were thrown into the grinder when the media came in to interview them. During one of Dilana's interviews, when asked who she hates the most amongst the remaining contestants, she answered Lukas. When Lukas was told how Dilana felt, he responded that he did not need anyone to look after him. Back in the song room, Toby was the one to break the news that two original songs would be performed this week. Ryan felt that since he had to forgo his chance last week, he deserved one. The second original was given to Patrice after Magni said she deserved it for being in the bottom three, for the third time. Notably, Toby allowed Dilana to sing the song he wanted if she would run around the pool naked, like he had to last week. She did, after which Toby stated that he did not even want the song.

Patrice opened the show with her original song, "Beautiful Thing". The song choice prompted an echo of Dave's advice to Zayra a few weeks back: seek a solo career. Magni's rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" met with positive review, as well as Ryan's performance of his original song, "Back of Your Car". Ryan threw his guitar, which was an expensive move, but he was praised for it. Storm's performance of "Cryin'" was also well received, as well as Dilana's performance of "Every Breath You Take", a song that she readily stripped down (at the mansion) to perform. Toby's rendition of "Layla" was heightened when he took off his shirt, a move that Tommy Lee said made the ladies happy. Lukas capped off the night with his performance of "All These Things That I've Done", his only negative comments being centered on facing away from the audience too much. He also received an ambiguous comment from Tommy Lee. Lee said, "Check please", and proceeded to throw down the microphone.

After that, there was a recap of "Media Day" at the mansion and, again, some of Dilana's responses to the press were perceived as harsh. The band called her on it, and Dilana explained herself, and then apologized. She dismissed it as a mistake, and she said she would learn from it. It was then announced that the Bottom Three was composed of Patrice, Magni, and Toby. Magni performed "Fire" by Jimi Hendrix. Patrice performed "Middle of the Road" by The Pretenders.

He changed the song by rocking it out and also received praise, earning the nickname Ryan "the Darkhorse" Star from Dave Navarro.

Finale Week - Elimination Episode

At the beginning of the show, Magni and Toby were revealed to be in the bottom two. Both of them performed songs that they had done prior. Magni performed 'Fire' and Toby performed 'White Wedding'. Based on these performances, Supernova sent Magni home saying he was more like someone part of a band instead of a frontman. The three remaining rockers then each performed a song they felt best represented themselves. Lukas sang 'Bittersweet Symphony', Dilana performed 'Zombie' and Toby performed 'Somebody Told Me'. Based on these performances, the band sent Toby home. After further deliberation, Lukas won and became the frontman for Supernova, which meant that for the second straight season, the winner of Rock Star is a Canadian. Dilana was offered to have her album written and produced by Gilby Clarke. Dave Navarro offered to play on the album.
