Does anyone watch this show? I find it madly entertaining about the world of business and how tough it is to cut it in the financial world.

(And Mark Cuban is hilarious lmao)

It's a good show for a few episodes. It gives a nice perspective into the way those business people think. I like it for it's economic value, but beyond that, it's a waste of time.

metaldroga That sucks :/ it's quite fun to watch
John yup, that's basically the only reason i watch it. just for entertainment value. but the ideas people think of are ridiculous and creative sometimes

It's not good for the entertainment. it's shit for that. It's just interesting to learn how those business people approach a deal.

It depends, what do they do in that show? In here they throw entrepreneurs in front of successful businesspeople and they have to present their idea and try and get a deal done with one of them. Usually people crumble under pressure but some do really well and get a nice chunk of money while giving up some of their company.

And even if they do fail, they get the free advertising that comes with being on the show.

May as well, I enjoy these shows anyway. On the american version mark cuban is probably the most risky buyer but usually his investments pay off. Hes very smart but if he doesn't like someone he DESTROYS them

I like to see how deluded some people are:

I have a half spoon half fork I call it a spork... I have remorgaged my house and wasted all my family savings on it. Please give me money we will change the cutlery world.

And yeah its basically Dragons Den usa and sometimes they do lame things like investing in a business because it supports soldiers ect...

I find some of the products that some of the people try to launch are comical, I don't watch it often but if there is nothing else that catches my eye, ill watch it :)

Yea on that last bit you mentioned someone was trying to pitch interchangable shoe heels and everyone and their mother knew it was a stupid idea but they got a deal cause one of the panelists had the same struggles as the woman did. It can be stupid but overall its interesting

Jolz thanks for the UK version of the show. interesting that once again the USA stole a show from the UK

Raj

utahclock they have some marvelous ideas ;)

utahclock
06-26-2013, 09:57 AM
yeah some of the ideas are amazing, but some are pure comedy like I think they bring certain products on the show, because they know the sharks wont buy it and the producers wanna see some one get ripped, Ill be honest here, and I did google one or two products that ive seen on the show that I thought were interesting

By marvelous ideas I meant the producers in the UK haha but yes the people do have nice ideas on the show but I saw one recently with a wristband that relieves nausea. Shit doesnt work but the lady was delusional and wanted somethin like $250k for a 10% stake. She got an offer for $250k for 50% (only offer she got) and she turned it down and left empty handed. Like wtf? Some people are stupid not to take some offers.
