Bikini Girl: The reason I'll watch (at least one more) 'American Idol'

Americanidolkatrina_lThree words sum up my excitement from last night’s American Idol: Ka. Tree. Na.

You may not recognize that name, or the surname Darrell, with all the haters (cough *Slezak!* cough) simply referring to her by her attire. But as a casual non-viewer of American Idol, it’s the Katrina Darrells and the Sanjaya Malakars that actually get me interested. I didn’t watch last night, but after I heard about Bikini Girl this morning, you bet your ass I fired up the clips online and enjoyed the hell out of the whole thing. I can’t decide what I liked most: 1) Hot girl shows up in a bikini, spins around, jumps up and down 2) Randy and Simon’s jaw-dropping, "She’s a YES for me!" 3) Paula and Kara’s equally vehement dislike for her 4) Hot girl shows up in a bikini.

Katrina may not be around long, but solely because of her, I will watch at least one more episode of American Idol in the juvenile, prurient hope that she does something as inappropriately sexy once again — and you better believe I won’t be the only one. Hey, it’s fun, silly, unpredictable, and hot. All things I like. Kudos, Bikini Girl. Can’t wait to see you again.

Who’s with me? Bikini Girl was hot, right? Anyone else like the curve ball these much-hated American Idol goofs bring to the mix?

    Mike Bruno is an idiot. Please refrain from writing anymore popwatch posts. I mean really??

    Bikini girl was the best audition of the night, and one of the most memorable ever! And she was good! All the haters like Slezak can go “suck it” as Tina Fey says. Every season, Slezak hates the skinny hot white girl, and its become real tiresome. Grow up, and stop judging her based on her beauty. She actually outsang Kara.

    There are a billion places to see a girl in a bikini, it didn’t add anything to the show. I’m not a huge AI fan, but these kinds of attention whores make me want to watch even less.

  • paige

    judging on her physically- this girl is nothing special. she needs to eat a donut, she needs boobs and she’s gonna nothing in the back… her face isnt even all that… whats so special about her that Megan from I Love Money / Charm School / Rock of Love doesnt do??? wack

  • pai

    Why do you have to be a hater if you don’t like her? I didn’t and I don’t care enough to hate her. But like Bruno said, she’ll be gone soon enough no need to get worked up about it. And comparing her to Tina Fey is laughable. Tina has talent. Bikini Girl has … a bikini.

  • sean

    Isn’t the show all about who can be the biggest attention whore? Because clearly the show isn’t about singing. In this case she just made that clearly visible – in the best possible way IMHO.

  • Miss Sassy

    Well, Bikini Girl just got her obligatory 15 minutes of testosterone-fueled fame. I can’t wait to see the seriously talented singers rip her to shreds in Hollywood. I’m sure it won’t be hard either. She’ll probably be the one in the girl group who starts some infantile cat fight over what one of the girls is wearing or something.

    Really Mr. Bruno? Are you serious? She was a big ick and just caused nothing but wrecks all around her…especially when she tried to make out with the obviously gay Ryan Seacrest..she just made me ill

  • Michael Mahoney

    From what I saw she need to eat more cheeseburgers or put on more clothes. maybe both.

  • damian

    What an ass she had.

  • kelly t

    Seacrest kiss was the best part of the night. Yay Bikini girl

  • SCB

    Whoooooooooore

  • paul

    It’s funny how all the girl bloggers hate her and the men like her. And how the girls think she “needs to eat a doughnut.” She has a killer body and all you girls know it. I’m guessing most of you are slighly or greatly plump, like most American girls.

  • SDN

    I would rather see a beautiful woman with an ok voice prance and dance around than some of those “stalker” looking participants. It’s suppose to be entertainment of all types, I have watched this show faithfully from the start and I still find it hilarious, entertaining and at times shocking at the voters choices.

    Last night was it for me.
