Bikini Girl



Katrina Darrell first appeared at the Phoenix auditions wearing only a bikini, earning the nickname "Bikini Girl." After an argument with judge Kara DioGuardi over whether or not she could sing, Bikini Girl kissed host Ryan Seacrest. That wasn't the end of her though, as we met up with Katrina again in Hollywood. Much to the happiness of Kara, she was eliminated during Hollywood week after sleeping through rehearsals. Bikini Girl did return during the finale, but Kara showed her up, rocking out on stage during Bikini Girl's performance and even donning a bikini of her own.
