I don’t need to beat around the bush on this one: Idol contestant Robbie Carrico thinks that he is Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball. It may seem like a tenuous connection; the two characters barely look exactly alike.

However, this one goes deeper than skin. Carrico gave himself away last night by growling at Ryan Seacrest, “I be me!” He might as well have spoken the tacit “Yarr!” that preceded that statement. We can tell who you arr, Carrico. No need to hide.

You’ll notice that I referred to Carrico as a character above. That is because, much like Steve the Pirate, poor Robbie believes himself to be something he is not, in reality: a rocker. The most frequent comment made by the Idol judges is that he doesn’t seem to really be a rocker, though he genuinely believes himself to be. The truth is that he is nothing but a former boy band member.

Sound like any other character you know? Maybe he will find acceptance in a treasure chest full of votes from Idol La Fleur. I somehow doubt it.
