| Following around 5 hyper American Idol contestants for a week not only tires you out but leaves you with the chore of searching through hours of behind the scenes antics. Of course not everything could be included in the TV Guide exclusive so here's just a little bit more to give American Idol fans a better look beyond the cameras. It is easy to tell that a group dynamic has been forged backstage, however it's interesting to note that the main group appears to have three members. That's not to say that all five of the remaining contestants do not have a bond of friendship, it's just that it's plainly obvious that there are deeper bonds in place between some and lesser between others. Just spending two hours in a relaxed setting with the remaining Idols, you can see that where you find Bo, you'll most likely find Anthony, and where you find Anthony, you'll be sure to find Carrie. It's and ecclectic group for sure. Three close friends who you are positive would never have associated with each other had not been for the crazy world they were thrust into.(Ok so Carrie and Anthony would've have been in the popular group in their high school. But Bo?) To watch the three of them behind the scenes is akin to watching a strange college road trip movie where the two pretty kids pick up a long haired hitchiker and they set off on an absured comedic adventure. Here's a brief glimpse into their bizzare yet extremely endearing friendship. --Carrie sitting on the top of the couch behind Bo, arranging his hair into a thousand little braids, while Bo calmly switches through the channels on the TV. --Anthony riding piggyback on Bo, while they run through Simon Cowell's office, for apparently no other reason except for to annoy their uptight judge. --Carrie and Anthony curled together on a sofa in a backstage dressing room, singing softly to each other and then asking, "Was that off? Was I pitchy?" Then breaking into hysterical giggles. --Anthony strutting around the boys dressing room in a pair of Bo's worn leather pants while complaining to his friend about his painful wedgie. Bo, helps him out by grabbing him from behind and yanking the pants up even higher on Anthony hips. --Chasing each other through the hallways with Super Soakers, making fellow cast members and crew hide behind scenery to avoid a drenching. --Bo and Anthony discussing the finer attributes of Pamela Anderson, complete with hand gestures and words that make grandma's blush during an episode of Stacked, while Carrie rolls her eyes and laughs. One wonder's if TV Guide shouldn't have taken a video camera with them and sold the rights to Access Hollywood. It would be quality entertainment. |
