Possible solution cup remedy (YMMV)
UPDATE: I've used this method on 3 different sinks and had great results on all of them!
I bought this knowing full well that the suction cups were the weak point in the design. I figured that I would eventually come up with a better mounting system since the suction cups were working for only a few minutes before giving up, even without the weight of the sponge.
Since I had no immediate ideas (well, none that worked) I just left it behind faucet leaning on the backsplash. Last night when I got home, I noticed that my fiancée had moved it to a very peculiar spot. It was in the corner or the sink and it was holding strong.
I just moved it to the opposite corner this afternoon, so that it wouldn't be under the drain pan, and I can't believe how good it's holding. It was a little tricky to get both suction cups to stick at first but I figured out a little trick. I was able to stick one side and then slide it over to where it's flat enough to stick the other side. Then you just slide it back over to center it. Be careful that you don't dig the holder into your sink and scratch it while sliding it back and forth.
