Okay, I'm interested in the opinion of others about Nick Zitzmann. I thought he was total put-on. A smart guy and a good actor creating a Napoleon Dynamite type character.

Any thoughts.

I think some of the people go on the audition show to 'create' a character that may be not part of the personality.

Maybe lightening will strike twice ala William Hung

Okay, I'm interested in the opinion of others about Nick Zitzmann. I thought he was total put-on.

Was he the pie-eyed software developer from Utah? Mrs. P. and I concluded he had Asperger's Syndrome and some devilish co-workers who put him up to it.

He reminds me of my son. My son has Asperger's and is a great kid, but doesn't pick up on social cues well. On my support lists Nick Zitzmann was a hot topic. Most of the parents thought he was treated cruelly as well. Compared to the usual treatment given to contestants, I would have to disagree. After Simon's initial remarks, I think the judges picked up that there was something not quite right and backed off. I had to admire Nick's attitude, though.
