Poll question: Was it the correct decision on America Inventor tonight?
I thought they all 3 did a good job. I think the kid with the tandem bike has the best chance of commercial success......agree?

1. I hated to see the other two lose, but I thought
it was a good decision. Has another finalist been decided besides the bike guy? Do you know who any of the 6 next week are?

:hi:

2. I probably do but can't remember
The 4 that make it to the finals will get picked up for production/distribution from a company even if they don't make the million. I think the bike would sell with good advertising/marketing.
Here's the link

3. Thanks for the link...
the guy that made the shovel/scoop thing to make sandbags should be a finalist, imo.

Who gets the million?

4. He was sent home already
His idea wasn't bad but he was so arrogant that he wouldn't change the design,spent part of the money on packaging and a new suit for himself. They were pissed. He was supposed to SPEND the $50K not bank it.

5. That's right...I forgot about his new suit!
I helped make sandbags once and it was really hard. I thought his idea made sense...but then, I also thought Ginsu knives were a good idea!

6. Would you buy one of those scoops? I thought it was a good
idea but was wondering what the market was for them. The show got him the exposure at least and if it's a good marketable idea I don't see why he couldn't get some other financial backer or sell the idea.

8. I only saw the portable gym guy
He was breaking my heart. He acted like he was absolutely desperate. It was like something straight out of "Death of a Salesman".
