Two hours tonight. Auditions are over, and now the culling begins.
You in?
That was pretty good, but putting in Josh Groban’s “You Raise Me Up” at the end was a little much for me.
Agreed. Over the top.
I’m glad they sent the Cookie Lady home. She was obnoxious. She really thought her little cookie-baking kits were “Better” than all the other inventions. At least the father and son with the cookie stacker didn’t have her attitude problem.
I’m curious as to why the guy with the portable family plot thing got through at all. Not everyone cremates, and not everyone would want every family member’s ashes in a little container that looks like something you’d put several flavors of pesto in!
That bathroom clip could be really handy. Now if they’d just invent something that you could stick between a broken lock and the stall so people wouldn’t burst in on you. Or something to put into a broken lock besides Kleenex to keep people from peeking at you.
The Sack-shovel 2000 is a great idea. It takes care of two problems at once and helps you to battle a much bigger and more dangerous one.
I have to admit…I wonder how anyone can justify doing some of the things these folks have done for the sake of their inventions: homes in foreclosure, unemployment, putting it all on the line, etc. They have to know that they can’t all get through to the end. I just don’t think I could sacrifice that much.
The Sackmaster 2000 seriously needs a new name. It sounds like a sex toy and “2000” is passé.
I was thinking that myself. Suzanne Somers demonstrates the Sack Master!
It was hard not to cry when they were all doing so. I was hoping the man whose infant daughter died would go through. (He did)
Maybe I’m just a cold-hearted bastard, but I got so sick of everyone’s teary, emotional sob stories. If the panel’s job is to pick the best invention, or the one most likely to succeed as a product and not end up in the dollar bin at the local Odd-Job, then they have to judge the product on its merits and not take the sob stories into consideration at all.
I just don’t like the direction the producers took the program- show me more about the products themselves, not the weepy background about how the inventors’ homes are in foreclosure, etc. And the sappy music at the end really put it over the top.
grumble grumble grumble…
