American Inventor Winner Is Greg Chavez

Reality TV Magazine - Scottsdale, AZ, USA - On the season finale of American Inventor 2, the three finalists Greg Chavez, Elaine Cato, and Ricky DeRennaux returned.  Greg Chavez invented the Guardian Angel, which is a fire safety system for Christmas trees.  Elaine Cato invented the 6-in-1 Convertible Brassiere, which is a traditional brassiere that converts into six configurations.  Ricky DeRennaux invented Custom Build Racers, which is a kit to build remote controlled vehicles.

After a review segment on some other inventors, the three finalists stood on center stage waiting to learn who would be the first finalist eliminated.  Host Nick Smith announced that Ricky DeRennaux was the first finalist eliminated.  When asked what he would remember most, Ricky DeRennaux said “The inventors, great people, and these guys [acknowledging the judges] who pushed me just a little bit further than I wanted to be pushed.  It’s been a ride.”  Benjamin Dermer, the Director of Inventor Relations from Spinmaster, invited Ricky DeRennaux to their headquarters to talk about putting HT Racers into toy stores.
