American Inventor Scam

I've been watching American Inventor for the past few weeks.

I fast-forward through everything but the actual inventions. To me it is not about their background or who had the worst childhood.

It is about who has the best invention.

Best inventions in the show: (Both rejected by the “judges“)

1. Portable Air Conditioning Unit (Inveneted by a 14 year old kid)
   Granted, the kid wanted to use it to leave the dog in the car it had a lot of other uses.
   
   
2. Bathroom clip to keep stall doors closed.
   Neat idea. I don't see why the judges had her bulk up the invention by adding a bunch of extra stuff into a bathroom kit.

Most annoying things about the show:

1. They seem favor minorities for the finalists.
2. They spend too much time trying to make you feel sorry for the inventor.

Half of the finalists' “inventions” aren't even new ideas

1. The Football Receiver Trainer
   This one is a good idea.
   
   
2. The Two Person Bicycle
   (Already been invented) http://www.bilenky.com/viewpnt.html
   
   
3. The Word Game
   This one is also a good idea and should win because it has the greatest overall appeal.
   
   
4. The “Womb-like“ Car seat
   (Already been invented) http://www.safetyegg.com/
