After watching people creep and crawl for the cash they needed on this brilliant program, I was took back last week to read about it being a big fake for T.V. Most if not all the people inteviewed said they received nothing from the dragons and once the cameras stopped rolling they were not really that interested.

Most found the money elsewhere, but some just gave up on their idea, surely they should have been something signed after the program, again a great program is let down by people only interested in making good T.V.

I believe tomorrow's episode follows some of the previous entrepreneurs who were on the program, some of which were turned down I believe. I doubt the program will mention your point about it being a sham though...

Am I the only one who's getting fed up with Dragon's Den? I've had a sort of creeping unease with it for a few weeks now. I pinpointed it the other day; Peter Jones was harranging a chap who was a tad unsure about his figures. Mr. Jones said something like "I'm totally hacked off" and has mentioned on other occasions about about how he is fed up with people wasting his time.

He's a rich man, a Big Kahuna if you will. Hasn't he got an underling who's judgement he trusts to weed out the crap, the unready, the ill prepared? Of course he has, but...

More on my blog...

Reality T.V is on its last legs full stop.

I have just checked my T.V times for the week (God sad I know) and there are 12 reality programs on this week.............Bring back the good old days, a bit of Bruce 'Alright my love' Forsyth on a saturday night was good enough for me.

Count yourself lucky there must be at least 20 different reality programs here..

The only one we do watch is called the Biggest Loser..
We are both trying to lose weight and this program inspires us..

Well so kathy tells me anyway.. it inspires me to shout at the TV..lol

I saw an advert today for a program thats going to be coming on Sky 1. I don't remember the name, but I think it's going to be like dragons den but for inventers to try get funding for their inventions. I'll try find the name of it, if anyone is interested.

Ah yeah, I saw that advertised, but I can't remember the name either. Ruth Badger of The Apprentice "fame" is fronting it.
