Few of the final contestants from Chicago and New York.
Wigberto Deglado - The Urinator: Nonsense.
John Stark - The Easy Squeeze Ear Plug
Another useless produtct: balloon that inflates in your ear.
Elaine Cato: backless support bra . Elaine is actually wearing it and demostrating that it works.
David Skotzke - Hands Free Toilet Seat Lifter. Just useless…
Chris Brooks – Massager that attaches to a remote control. Come’n Chris. Get life.
Alvin Quiles – Skaterade : What is this is this contraption? Useless products…
David Mallet – The Wingman. Sync up with others and fine a potential mate.I think it is not practical, specifically that one needs to carry another device?
David Moeller and Craig Forest – The Claw : I liked it. Very practical in apartment. Seems to be simple to operate.
Ann Marie Bryan – The Ready to Wear Speaker Gear. Innovative and useful. Great for those that need it.

The winner this round were:
David Moeller & Craig Forest from New York! (The Claw)
Elaine Cato from Chicago (backless support bra)

Show gained some momentum. Much better quality ideas than last week (my opinion).
More finalists. Even the bad ones were “fun” to watch.. Here is a partial list of the invetions:

Show gained some momentum. Much better quality ideas than last week (my opinion).
More finalists. Even the bad ones were “fun” to watch.. Here is a partial list of the invetions:

Lawn Master: buy one get 2…Good idea to get rid of weeds.
Mindframe: Failure. I could not figure it out….can’t blame the judges to wait the guy to go out.
The Glove Inverter: Nonsens. As peter was saying, use a stick.
For the rest of the inventions click (more…)

Well… as expected….slow start. Not mentioning the “performance” that few of the inventors gave – as part of the “show – biz”. I thought that the cowboy guy will snap – right after he got rejected.
Some of the inventors did not come across because of a very poor presentation.
Some spent too much money and time on their inventions which I thought were worthless. I Did not form yet any opinion about the judges except Forman whom I thought was too much of a “nice” guy…

Wednesday, June 6 at 9/8c “Episode 201″ : American Inventor, from Simon Cowell and co-creator Peter Jones, returns for its exciting, innovative second season in search of America’s best new invention in its season premiere!

Thousands of inventors and entrepreneurs of all ages applied, and viewers will witness these inventors presenting their inventions, featuring everything from the wacky to the heart warming.

A panel of expert judges will narrow down the initial entries and choose one finalist from each city who will be given $50,000 seed money to further develop and refine his or her product for the semifinal round. In the end, it will be up to the American viewing audience to call in and vote for one of three finalists and the invention they feel is worthy of the one million dollar grand prize, moving that person one step closer to the dream of mass producing a product.
