A UNIQUE SCRATCHING POST FOR CATS, A DEVICE TO PROTECT EXPENSIVE HAIR WEAVES AND A SHIRT DESIGNED TO HOLD A BABY CLOSE, ARE AMONG THE INVENTIONS ON THIS WEEK'S EPISODE OF 'STEVE HARVEY'S FUNDERDOME'

"Episode 108" - The seed-funding competition reality series "Steve Harvey's FUNDERDOME," featuring two aspiring inventors going head-to-head to win over a live studio audience to fund their ideas, products or companies, airs SUNDAY, AUGUST 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network. The audience will represent the customer, and since the customer is always right, they will be voting to determine the winner. This week's inventions and the aspiring inventors that will go head-to-head are:

· Pet Pita - a sturdy cloth with holes for feet that allows you to carry your pet easily and safely. Inventor: Bryce from Potsdam, New York

· X-Purr - a unique scratching post for cats. Inventors: Natasha and Arloa from Los Angeles, California

· Weave Dryer - a device that helps prevent mold and mildew from ruining expensive hair weaves. Inventor: Michalyn from Missouri City, Texas

· Restroom Kit - a pocket-sized package that contains essential items that are often missing in public restrooms. Inventors: Sonia & Bill from Clinton, Maryland

· Imperfect Produce - a subscription service for cosmetically challenged produce. Inventor: Ben from Emeryville, California

· Lalabu - shirts that allow both men and women to hold their babies close to the body. Inventors: Keri and Brian from Atlanta, Georgia

Before revealing the results of the crowd's majority vote, host Steve Harvey, the highly popular stand-up comedian, actor, author and Emmy Award-winning game show host, will present the inventors with a major dilemma. One of the inventors is allowed to cash out and walk away for a lesser amount. If an inventor cashes out, they forgo the opportunity to win the whole cash prize for that round - a good move if they lost the crowd vote, but a bad move if they would have won it.

"Steve Harvey's FUNDERDOME" is produced by MGM Television and internationally distributed by MGM. The executive producers are Mark Burnett, Leslie Garvin and Barry Poznick.
