Why the hell is this so watchable? It should be shit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
I love it. It's funny how all the investors have to act really hardnosed, whether it's the appropriate response or not. There's loads of managers in my office like that. It's funny when they goes nuts and complain about something, and then it turns out it's their fault. It just cracks me up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's great. I came across one of the programmes during the first series and immediately watched the whole thing. it's an adrenaline thing, I guess. seeing people sweat. and to be fair, some people are really bad at pitching their idea. if the idea itself is then also shit - good television. |
||||||||
|
|

|
I feel much better knowing it's not just me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wanna go on it, but i don't have a business idea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Use that as your idea! I'm here to sell my brain as a vessel for your ideas. I'm looking for a £150,000 investment with me retaining 100% ownership of the brain but with you using it's full capacity over a period of 3 years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's watchable because the focus of the programme is rejecting people and crushing their dreams |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
best program on uktv.. love it. wouldnt miss it. i do miss the old judges a bit tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I kept meaning to watch it and always forgot. Only managed to catch this series by accident. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'd fit right in with most of the other people appearing on there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is compelling, and yeah, its like, you feel cheap but watch it anyway. i quite enjoy it actually, seeing all these inventions that will never be. and yes, hearing somones dreams be dashed in one swift move. and then hearing they've invested their kids college funds in it. harsh i guess... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha its WELL GOOD YO! i got load sof ideas for shit to sell! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, they're investors, they don't care about dreams, they care about making a profit. they love ambition, but even then it has to be backed up with numbers. if they get as much as a whiff that you're not about making as much money as could forcibly be possible, you're dead. that's harsh and possibly depressing, but then you know that if you go to ask for money from them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah totally, its business, its capitalism. i disagree though, i dunno how much you've watched, but some people on there are so cluelessly naive that its shocking. i saw this woman on there once who had invested about £10k in kids branded underware stock, which wasn't quality controlled, not tested the market, not found a supplier, or even a place to store the stock. she was in hysterics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have seen pretty much all of them by now, I think. I remember her - she was kind of pathetic, but then I don't really feel sorry for her when people tell her she's being pathetic. it's a slap in the face, but people like her could benefit from it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHA ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that makes me sound as if I'm all for this kind of business-y hard ass bullshit. I hate all of that, I would rather die than do a pitch for those people. but it works within the context of the programme. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i cant stand it, I just cant stomach the way the dress up these people , who are quite clearly cunts, in smart clothes and give them big chairs and seat them behind stacks of money and basically go to many lengths to make them seem better than the rest of us, and encourage them to make personal attacks on people based on little to nothing. i find it infuriating |

It was hilarious last night. That new woman is obviously a lesbian/man. |
||||||||

i dont see whay people feel guilty watching this. if you have a shit idea at least you were lucky enough to be told to stop doing it before you go bankrupt. those guys know the score. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't see why you'd feel guilty, either. there are no hidden agenda's here, it seems. |

I love how they turn down some decent ideas by people who would patently work their nuts off for less than minimum wqage in order to make the business work and then 5 minutes later back a doomed company; someone with a shit idea who clearly hasn't even been arsed to prepare for the presentation and is unlikely to bother to get out of bed in the morning. Applicants wise, I like the salesmen-types who have shit, technically flawed ideas and have simply hope to manage to bamboozle the dragons into backing it, purely through sales technique and blinding them with jargon. Another good one was a bloke who reckoned he'd invented an alternative the the internal combustion engine, which was 3 times as efficient, but just needed £20k to make another prototype. He got pwned when one of the dragons pointed out that he had a degree in mechanical engineering and that the guy's idea could never be reliable enough to work in the real world. As you say, one of those things that should be shit, but |

.. did you have a heartattack? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I had a stroke and as I keeled over, my nose hit the "return" key, posting my unfinished post. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that was lucky! |

One fella made laptops with wooden casing instead of plastic. He went on about how classy and stylish they were and how they'd be the next craze in computing, but his prototype looked like a GCSE woodwork product, so funny. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
in fairness i've seen wooden desktops that did look really nice, doesn't sound ideal for a lappy mind. |
||||||||

Maybe....but this one was just shit. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
What a stupid, obvious joke. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
heh i believe you=] have to say, i much prefer the dead ringers that has the gynacological instruments for mutant women. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
almost as predictable as your response. |
||||||||

u suk @ life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you weren't such a cock i'd feel sorry for you. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I wish I was cool enough to pose in front of a webcam with gelled hair and sunglasses whilst pouting or maybe giving the finger. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huhu! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what the pout? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't realise you could watch every episode of it (including the last two series') on 'tut BBC site: I totally missed the first series so it'll be good to see it from the start. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahha you're so far off the mark |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, ok. So those photos were somebody else then. Your evil gay twin or something. Sure. |
||||||||
