Am I the only person who still watches Dragons' Den

[AthenaisdeRochechouart]

no-one I know watches it anymore!

I love Deborah Meaden (fellow Remainer!)
Really don't like Jenny Chapman and think it's funny how people only accept an offer from Tooka (?) if they are really desperate

Anyone else still watch it>

Oh that's interesting! I thought they'd all have to be checked out before they went onto the programme. I have noticed that a lot of the things they buy don't seem to hit the market and assumed there were discoveries later on. You're not going to tell us that product, are you?

@HollowTalk exactly the same, just more 'American' so expect everything to be bigger and better and with more money 😁

It’s the American version of Dragon’s Den but the Sharks have great chemistry, they also have personalities and don’t mind taking the mick out of each.

My favourite is Kevin (Mr Wonderful) because he’s so greedy, not only is he honest about it but he relishes in it.

I’m not usually into American adaptions as they are usually too flashy and obviously set up but I love Shark Tank.

I suppose I'd better not Hollow :o He initially had their interest but Deborah received a damaged product sample and it all unravelled from there :o He didn't get any offers

Do fuck off Aviator. She's a shrewd, astute, intelligent, highly successful and respected multi millionaire who does a lot of charity work for horse charities. Wtf has her weight got to do with anything? Clue......nothing.

I love DD and like Jenny but everyone who goes on wants Deborah and Peter. Jenny and T'other one are the booby prize.

There's due diligence done after the show with anyone who gets an offer. Many don't make it beyond there.

They used to do a follow up program, charting the success or otherwise of people who'd been on the show. They don't seem to do that any more.

I know - Touker and his office space

I don't know if I like Peter Jones or not.

I think they spend too long on each presentation now, so in each episode there’s less interesting stuff- I watch the odd episode on catch up if I’m really stuck!

Shark Tank is better

I still watch it but for some reason don't find it as gripping as I used to. I'm probably a sucker but always feel awful whenever a married couple come on having gambled their entire livelihood, and then get a pasting.

All the dragons are OK but I find Peter arrogant and can't stand the way he speaks to some of the people on it. Agree nobody ever wants Touker but he does ALWAYS ask for a massive equity stake! Quite like him though, at least he's pretty nice and humorous. Debra has grown on me over the years but tbh I'm not attached to any of them! Based on PPs will definitely be trying Shark Tank 😬

Be prepared for a lot of crying about the American Dream!

It’s just less formal I think. I also happen to love the full cheese ‘after’ VT’s that are essentially one of the Sharks visiting a factory and hi-fiving everyone

The best one is where Mark Cuban looks like he’s gonna throttle Richard Branson and they throw water over each other. You can tell it’s not scripted.

I have met DM IRL & can confirm she is lovely.

I am glad to hear that

Be prepared for a lot of crying about the American Dream!

Think I'll be giving Shark Tank a miss then!
