American Inventor: (Not quite) The Finale

why are they posting the results next week i thought the show was the other nite. Wans't it the finale

They are all good inventions and passionate inventors; however, Word Ace aced the commercials. The message was evident for anyone watching without prior explanation. The results from viewer phone calls will be revealed next week.

I liked the car seat commercial the best. I think it really hit home what the value of the product could be. If he ahd an extra 15 seconds to show how it worked, it would have been great.

I feel that "The Catch" will be picked up as an invention to persue by some sports company as will "Word Ace"--picked up by Milton Bradley or some other game company, so...to me, the winner will be either D-Tract 2x2 Bike or Anecia Survival Capsule. Granted, those two commercials weren't as good as Word
Aces, but the product itself should carry more weight than the commercial. My bet is on either the oldest or youngest inventor to get the million. Is Vegas running odds on the four guys???

who won i missed the show last night

The Word Ace commercial just blew away the competition. If I was seeing it for the first time, I'd know exactly what the product was and what it did. It's actually the first time I got enthusiastic about the invention.
Can't say that for the others.
Ed (I think) made a good point about the Anecia car seat thingie--the commercial doesn;t show us how it works or what it's supposed to do. That's a product that needs action to explain it, and it wasn't there.
I still want to see for myself how you get a baby in that thing. I suspect it's not easy.

I actually liked the car seat commercial, but in a different way. It didn't go like a traditional "Where can I buy that?" product. It went more like a public service announcement, setting it up like this is the only logical way it should be. If the way he depicted it was actually a real life situation, could anyone really ever go back to a traditional car seat?

Of course, that's ultimately what will either get him the win or not - will people vote for the dream of a product that might be impossible to ever manufacture? Or will they play it safe and go with the word game that their kids can play? The way the commercials went it would almost be embarassing to vote for anything other than the car seat. It's like you're saying "Yeah yeah, saving babies is fine, but that game looked cool, ya know?"
