Jerry, the exercise twist and lock guy, used to sing karaoke at the shows my husband ran in San Diego. He recognized him immediately on the first show. So we kinda know him and would like for him to do well.
That said, the woman with the Naia doll was one of our favorites, so that's going to be a really tough call. With the woman judge in charge of the decision, I expect there to be lots of manufactured drama and a flood of tears.
Mark, the sandmaster guy, was just unwise. He got 50k and he spent less than half of it, part of it on his suit! He fired his marketing team and lounged around in the pool instead of even listening to what they might have come up with to improve on his product. I wasn't surprised he was booted at all.
On the other hand, I was very surprised the in-brella (good name change, I thought of it first
) woman didn't go through. With a little improvement, her product would have so much more mass appeal than the football thing. I'd have bought one anyway, and hopefully one day I'll be able to.
The first hour last night was worthless. There were maybe 3 new inventions, only one of which (the little girl with the stickers on the shoes) was even worth watching. We got through the hour in about 10 minutes by FFing on our TiVo.
The second hour was much more enjoyable, and I'm now - finally - looking forward to the rest of the season.
