On April 7, 2011,  during [[wikipedia:American Idol (season 10)|American Idol's 10th season]], and Zinn's site ''[[Vote for the Girls (United States)|Vote for the Girls]]'' gained its first bit of notoriety with the VFTG's first painful bankrupt with the elimination of [[wikipedia:Pia Tosano|Pia Toscano]]. Following Toscano's elimination, [[Vote for the Girls (American season 2)|the second season]] became a turning point for the web site due to its support of [[wikipedia:Lauren Alaina|Lauren Alaina]] and [[wikipedia:Haley Reinhart|Haley Reinhart]]. Zinn posted on her YouTube channel of the "VOTE FOR LAUREN AND HALEY" campaign after Toscano was voted off. Alaina and Reihart went on to last 6 more weeks in the competition, but it was largely unknown to the general public at this time, and slammed [[Vote for the Worst]] on Zinn's web site, which at the time had a section called Vote for the Girls. Lauren Alaina became Vote for the Girls' longest-running American Idol pick, which remained intact until being tied with Jessica Meuse on the 13th season of American Idol and surpassed by Jena Irene. She remained VFTG pick for 12 weeks, from top 24 to the finale. Lauren Alaina was the runner-up, as was Crystal Bowersox in [[wikipedia:American Idol (season 9)|the previous season]].

On April 18, 2011, following the elimination of Paul McDonald four days earlier, Ava Zinn announced on her YouTube channel (which at the time hosted the VFTG episodes until Zinn created the official VFTG YouTube Channel) that she would be auditioning for the [[wikipedia:American Idol (season 11)|following season]] of ''Idol'' herself. Due to Zinn's age (28) in 2011, it was the first and only opportunity that Zinn would ever try out.

Even before [[wikipedia:American Idol (season 11)|season 11]] of American Idol's premiere, ''Queen of the Willis'' and ''Vote for the Girls'' creator Ava Zinn auditioned as a contestant on ''American Idol'', and went undercover as a journalist reportedly exposing the [[wikipedia:American Idol (season 10)|previous American Idol season]]'s gender voting bias and eventually would end the trend that Idol pundits call the "white guy with guitar" or "WGWG" factor [[wikipedia:American Idol (season 12)|the following season]]. During American Idol 11, VFTG picked [[wikipedia:Hallie Day|Hallie Day]] and [[wikipedia:Erika Van Pelt|Erika Van Pelt]] in the semi-finals because they also auditioned at the same [[wikipedia:Pittsburgh|Pittsburgh]] [[wikipedia:Heinz Field|audition]] [[wikipedia:David L. Lawrence Convention Center|venues]] as Zinn.
