I actually thought Troy was a front runner until the Flea Market episode. When he was talking with Jessie about what they should sell he mentally lost it. She mentioned dirt in passing and all of a sudden Mr. Babble is shooting out his great "idea's" like "oh how about we put a heart in the dirt and you have to dig for your heart" or "how about we put gold nuggets in the dirt and go digging for gold". I mean dude, didn't you see the guy with the camera taping you? You're an idiot or maybe you never saw a pretty girl before. That guy was babbling so much I almost put it on mute...

And you'd really think he would have learned his lesson about trying to acquire gold by now...

I was waiting for 'Or we could put water in the dirt, rub it on people's faces, and tell them it was a special urban mudpack recipe.'

LOL I actually thought the dirt digging idea was good. I used to work at a clothing store during my summers off from college. One summer, a new jewelry store opened about three doors down from us. For their grand opening, they had this sand digging thing. For $2, you got to scoop a handful of sand out of this treasure chest and sift it to see if there were jewels in it. My mananger must have gone down there about 6 times that day and searched in the sand and she ended up with 2 or 3 stones. Of course, they jewelry store made its money by offering to set the stones in rings, earrings or necklaces.

For a carnival that is a great idea. But for a flea market? No. I think Troy is a smooth talker, but his ideas are horrible. I have thought he had zero chance to win since episode 1.

yes

Kathy must win !!! Down with THE RUPERT!

Troy reminds me of the type of person that will try and talk out loud and throw ideas around. He was just throwing everything out there and hoping something would stick. Somewhere in his babbling he may have come up with a good idea.
