Dragons out of their Den

[Cooperinliverp00l]

I Sky + the new series of American Inventor (american version of Dragons Den). WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THAT ABOUT

I was expecting the same trusted and loved approach that Dragons Den takes but noooooooo they have turned it into an X Faxtor style competition where the invenstions go through to a final where the public will vote.

WHy has Peter Jones got his name against this program.

Anyone watch it and share my disappointment

Because he is like every other wannabe that spends more than 15 minutes in front of a camera, they suddenly get some moron wanting their autograph and they think they are a celeb. A good businessman, quite possibly a "face" the general populas want to see on every and any TV channel, no thank you!!!

It's by Peter Jones and Simon Cowell.

Painful - George Foreman just says yes to everything. None of the people have really invented anything, and it's full of Americans.

Agreed, it's absolute tosh of the very worst kind. Avoid.

Those "Dragons" on BBC are below contempt in my view.

But they are very loaded, and you're not ...

But they are very loaded, and you're not ...

So what? They act like complete nobs and it is not amusing to me to see they crash peoples dreams just for show - frankly, I don't buy that these Dragons are loaded because they are offering ridiculously small amounts of money (what is £50-100k?) for very sizeable percentage of the company - like 30%+, that's intentional obviously and designed to minimise chance they would have to invest money.

Can you imagine how these tw@ts would act if they are a legal shareholder who has got lots of money to sue you? If they act like that on the show when they can't sue you, then it is crazy to even consder them being a shareholder who actually has got a fair few rights. Loan sharks care more about their customers.

This is why they're loaded - because they're good at ripping off desparate entrepreneurs.
