No worries, TF. *smiles*

I do admire Scott's "moxie", but the one common factor in all Idol winners has been humility.

Kelly, Ruben and Fantasia all had no trouble laughing at themselves. Scott comes off abit defensive to me is all.

Ruben and Fantasia pretty much had no careers going after this contest.

Here is part of the way I take Scott's defensiveness. All throughout the competition and apparently in his life in general he has dealt with heavy criticism.

He has probably learned to deal with it in a way that comes off a bit harsh sometimes.

I can't imagine how I would have turned out if I was constantly having to hear people taking about my weight or appearance.

When I see Scott, I see a person who has had pain in his life, but keeps going anyway.

I admire that, but I guess I can see how it might be a bit off-putting to some.
