The reviews come in - Bobby Bastille is the hit of the show and is whisked to Hollywood and cast as the star of the show.

According to US

There are quite a few very funny innuendos.  I wondered at first why they picked Rick since he really doesn't speak with an Australian accent on a regular basis, then realized they also needed someone who sings - so that made perfect sense. - rlh
