A bit harsh. She's been caught out and is making a rubbish attempt of salvaging things. Many pitchers do the former and some get away with the latter.

She's odd but I find Deborah Meaden so insufferably pompous I can do without her mock outrage, too.

That was one of the most bizarre pitches i've ever seen on the show. At one point I thought she was about to walk off.

Well that last one was a complete cock up.

Great episode tonight though.

So? He should still be keeping tabs on what's going on behind the scenes.

What a rude, arrogant and extremely stupid woman. I hate violence but I wanted to slap that supercilious 'smile' from her face. On the other hand it was a perfect example of how NOT to pitch to the dragons. The ludicrous valuation was the biggest mistake, but that was only the first of many. I think the dragons were very restrained.

The bloke sitting between Deborah and Peter - has he actually invested anything yet? Missed a bit of this series but he looks like he keeps his hand on his wallet?

Did anyone else get the impression that the man in the white shirt in the last business was shocked with the female owner of the seaweed business, i felt that he was angry with her and maybe was looking to get away from her and the company.

Wow. I couldn't believe that last woman. Even the man didn't want to look at her in the lift at the end.

At the end in the lift, he did make a comment about her getting bad advice or something (cant remember exactly) and he was shaking his head, she still looked like she thought it didnt go too badly

Get a grip people.

All she did was over evaluate her business and didnt know her sums - the dragons kicked up a fuss and tried to trip them up for nothing.

Especially Peter trying to make TV and trolling them.

I don't think he was an owner of the business, just the seaweed collector.

He did seem shocked with her at the end. When they were in the lift she was looking at him and he was obviously not wanting eye contact. Then the comment about getting bad advice.

See that toilet door opener thingy surely the germs would be transferred onto that from the door and then when you folded it up to put in your wallet the germs would go on your hands kind of defeating the purpose of the thing. I was surprised none of the dragons mentioned this. Also wouldn't it have been a better idea to make it out of plastic anti bacterial microban for added germ protection?

The woman with the seaweed company was awful she would be a nightmare to work with or have as your boss. I can't see her company being successful or making anything like her projected figures. The fact Touca made her an offer was a shocker.

I was surprised the Tag crisp man managed to get a deal done in the end it didn't look like it was going to happen.
