Started last night. George Foreman has a speech impediment. He can't say no. The guy with those space alien therapy dolls got through the first round. A fireman with a fire suppresion system for x-mas trees was the last one shown and made it also. If anyone else got through they weren't memorable imo. No update about last years' winner.

LOL Ketchuplover, can't say no speech impediment. We were surprised the therapy dolls made it. The inventor says they are for adults and George said his kids may have used them growing up. This from a man who gave several of his kids the same name. Will give him credit for convincing people to keep upgrading to his new grills which are still pretty much the old grill.

I hate the dolls. They're scary. And creepy. And THEN they start talking. And get even creepier. The Guardian Angel looks like it could be a great seller. Were I not Jewish, and had a Christmas tree, I'd buy one.

Last night they had a guy on who'd spent $300,000 on his invention. It was basically hot wheels/matchbox cars with a working drag racing starter doohickey. That's all I saw.

I am almost caught up...I am halfway through ep 3 and had to hurry here and post before I forgot. I SO badly wanted to see Sophia's invention and was disappointed she only had a drawing. She was the one with the jewelry box/ webcam/ karoke machine/ air conditioner/ etc etc combo machine...LOL

I got turned off when they stressed that they'd choose one invention from each city. So much for a city with better depth. I'm not as into it as last year but it is early going.

During this last year, I finally learned to accept that reality tv isn't fair, or even real. I just look for the humor and/or entertainment value Beyond that, truly caring is a waste of personal precious time. and I really do want one of those peeling shower curtains

It was a TV remote control that had a massager attached to it so the husband could massage his wife's back without letting go of the remote.

I thought the bicycle hanger thingy was terrific. It could be used to hang a lot of stuff, too. Hope that the gizmo to help the deaf get a sense of music and dance was terrific. Maybe it could help kids/people with sensory issues, too. Whatever, I hope someone picks it up. The toilet lift thing was ridiculous. Who'd want that thing taking up space in their john? The funnel thing was weird, too--ick, wouldn't want to clean that thing out. LOL at the skating thing. It was so huge. Can you imagine a kid going down the sidewalk on that??

Puzzled--Re; skating thing...I thought exactly the same thing! It's WAY too big. They have something like a 'walker' for ice skating beginners but it's less than half the size! lol I think that dating gadget will be cool if implemented properly. It could work with your phone and then alert you when your out and are near someone with similar matches and alert them too. It'll bring blind dating to a new level! lol (No, I'm not single but I did meet my husband on Lavalife.)

It'd take more than $50k to even get it to the Beta versions.

Miz, that service actually already exists. It has been Beta'd out in San Fran and Austin. It was featured on an episode of Attack of the Show on G4TV.

Anyone still watching this? I can't believe they gave $50,000 to the guys who "invented" an under-cabinet dispenser for foil and plastic wrap. You can already GET that!

Finale??? Already? There isn't going to be anything like last year when they get the money then use it to make their product ready for market with the judges as mentors? That's going to stink if all we get is the reject episodes, and just a tiny bit of the winners.

I don't know why I watched this again, but I did. I remember that when I was a kid, we had a food wrap dispenser on our countertop. It was aluminum and matched our breadbox and canister set. It looked extremely similar to their final product. I just Googled "food wrap dispenser" and found these:
Looks very much like their prototype
Looks way nicer than the guys final product I'm glad those two brothers are gone. They were nasty to the other contestants and were SO sure they had this in the bag. Cockiness did them in, ha ha ha!

As much as I like the Guardian Angel I'm concerned about it working EVERYTIME.

KL, the judges kept saying that, too. What makes us certain that our smoke detectors work every time? We buy them, hang them up, change the batteries, test the batteries...but who knows whether they will work when an actual fire starts?
