A.I.'s Judging Jury Gets a Foreman
Pugilist turned lean, mean griddle giant George Foreman will join Season 1 holdover Peter Jones and fellow newbies Pat Croce (a former NBA exec and talk-show host) and Sara Blakely (undergarments entrepreneur/creator of Spanx) on the judging panel for the new cycle of ABC's American Inventor. Other tweaks to the compeition, according to Variety: The judges will kick off the competition by visiting six cities and culling a finalist from each; the half-dozen wannabe Thomas Edisons will then build prototypes, with the best entrepenuer netting $1 million and a chance to mass-produce his or her gizmo. They also got a new host you won't recognize.

Ditto, lizzybelle. I always thought that they would have trouble with the engineering aspect of that baby-capsule-car seat thingy. An outstanding idea, but I never saw it's dimensional drawbacks concerning portability being easily overcome.
Plus how is the $1 mil prize and chance of mass-producing a tweak? Isn't that what the winner got the last time?
