Doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot dooooooooooot! You're sober, but this recap would be better if you were reading it drunk.

Also, Silvio and Black Cougar make it back because they're the only thing that'll keep the audience from leaving. Silvio appears to be tap dancing:

You're officially a freak when even Black Cougar thinks you're weird.

The theme of this finale is "Everybody's a winner," because even though Ricky DeRennaux wins third place, Spinmaster offers to sponsor his toy. Elaine Cato is the beauty pageant equivalent of first-runner up, but don't fret! This single mom won't be feeding her kids just Easy Mac, because Maidenform is going to back her product. From Bra-maker to Billionaire, that's the American Dream.

I'm pretty sure this is an option on Windows desktop backgrounds.

So yeah. It's obvious. Greg Chavez and Guardian Angel win a million dollars and five minutes of fame. I am not quite sure who's going to mass produce it and take it to market, as it obviously needs more testing for safety and accuracy. If it's made in China, we're seriously fucked. He recalls how he watched the show a year ago and vowed to his wife that he would win this season. Yada yada yada. However, I cannot guarantee that he vowed to his wife that he'd get a vasectomy. Zing!

Sketches complete. A Plan. Marking out the rhythm method on a whiteboard? Priceless.

Well. We made it after all. Kind of anti-climactic, I know. There was no lawsuit, no crazy robot malfunction from British Man, no spurned inventor seeking murderous revenge. SPANX didn't even get a run in her pantyhose. Nothing that'd show up on Dateline anyway. Pat Croce will continue to wear hideous shirts, and George Foreman will continue to buy everything he sees on TV, including his own grill.

It would've been less painful if we had played drinking games like ten fingers.

Thank you, everybody, for sticking with me for the second worst thing since "The Next Best Thing", and I'll see you in the fall when I return with, hopefully, a show that like, nearly everyone watches and loves. I won't know what to do with myself!

Okay, I just had to say it:
That last screen cap looks the most bored jazz hands ever...

Great job recapping this show T.Vo, I also look forward to reading your recaps in the Fall.

I used to live in the NW burbs of Chicago - so I know exactly how uptight Lake Forest is.

Anyone know when a decision will be made about whether or not there will be a third season of American Inventor?
