Episodes

Week One

Performance episode: All 15 contestants performed cover songs. They were judged by Dave Navarro, Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted, Gilby Clarke, and the album's producer Butch Walker.

Elimination episode: Phil, Chris, and Matt were placed in the bottom three based on votes from around the world. They each performed one cover song of their choosing and, based on that and their previous performance, Matt was chosen by the band to be eliminated. Supernova claimed that Matt's elimination was based on his song choice.

Week Two

Performance episode: The 14 contestants again performed cover songs. Their judges were the same, with the exception of the album's producer Butch Walker, who was absent.

Elimination episode: 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 belonged to the bottom three. 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).

Week Three

In The Mansion episode: The 13 remaining contestants received lessons from vocal coach Lis Lewis. During song selection, an argument arose between Jill and Patrice over the song Helter Skelter. Josh also frustrated others by taking Nirvana's Come As You Are without checking to see if it was alright with the other members.

Performance episode: The 13 contestants each performed a cover song. An accompanying note said that on one of the songs, the contestant will be backed by a member of Supernova. This song turned out to be Phil's choice, "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, and Jason Newsted played bass on his performance. Lukas, Magni, Dilana and Jill all earned praise from the judges that night.

Elimination episode: Based on the worldwide vote, the three rockers with the least votes were Dana, Jenny, and Josh. Zayra and Ryan were also noted as having been in the bottom three at some point. These three rockers all performed the cover song of their choice, and - in the end - it was Jenny that was chosen to be eliminated from the competition. Supernova said that while her performance was much more rock-oriented than before, they weren't sure about her vocals.
