Looks like they're shaking things up for the second season of ABC's American Inventor (after the first season, they'd almost have to, right?).
Former boxer and grill impresario George Foreman is going to be one of the judges for the contest this season. He joins Peter Jones (returning for another season), Pat Croce, a former NBA exec, and Sara Blakely, who is described as an "undergarments entrepreneur" and "creator of Spanx." That sounds like something that could have been invented on this show, yet really dirty. The second season will also see a new host, Nick Smith.
What, no Doug Hall this year? He was the Simon Cowell of the group! And no Mary Lou Quinlan? She was the...well, Paula Abdul of the group.
The show returns on June 6 at 9pm.

What did Foreman invent exactly? The grill was just a product endorsement that was actually offered to Hulk Hogan first (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan#Endorsements).

I hope the woman who had invented "nothing" if you
catch my drift, won't be returning for the 2'nd
season of ABC's American Inventor. She felt proud of
herself, even during the aftermath of revealing
herself in front of the judges, but she's probably
embarressed now, looking back at this. I hope so.
If she does re-enter this season, perhaps she'll
be thinking less about taking "it" off, and more
about taking off with a more decent invention.
RICK.

I like the show, and I will watch it.
The kid who invented the car air-conditioner for the dog, was slammed by each of the inventors. So what do I see on a commercial, An airconditioner, that you put in a car window, to keep the dog cool.
Be careful when you slam someone, it may be the next big thing.

This show is not about Invention this is about entertainment.
They are looking for silly people axing out real invention if the person behind the idea doesn't fit required image.

George Foreman had Foresight.
Something that your Hulk Hogan obviously Did Not have.
George is Not only a Endorser, he is Part Owner...Do Your RESEARCH.
Something your Hulk Hogan, WISHED he was...PART OWNER that is.
