Here are two theories:

-The producers of the show never believed the guy was actually blind so they put Seacrest up to tricking the poor kid into High-5'ing him. I mean, who wouldn't want to High-5 Ryan Seacrest. Personally, I'd rather High-5 the bikini girl. Again & Again.

-Ryan forgot to wear his watch. In a freakish radio dj'ing accident, his right arm was nearly detached from his body. In order to save the arm, they had to fill the humerus with helium. The watch normally keeps the arm weighted and it usually rests at his side. Distracted by the blind guy rushing out of the audition room with his Golden Ticket and unable to immediately use his other arm to hold the unweighted helium arm down, up it went. Poor bastard.

-->And I absolutely loved seeing that they passed the bikini girl on to Hollywood, that was freaking AWESOME. She really wasn't that great of a singer but she certainly worked it.

Hilarious!!!
