Totally agree, this is horrible to watch. Used to be such a fan, but this show is ruined forever now. Why why why ! ! !

Yeah it's fake. I've not decided yet if they're sat watching the filming and they're actually responding to events in the other room.. or if they just watch the edit we're seeing and already know the end result.

It is awful. Does not ruin the show for me but I do not like it.

In either case, it's an utterly pointless and annoying addition!

Agreed. Can't stand it. I want that axed. And Theo back.
Was flicking through and thought I'd give it a watch for the first time in years, first shot of reactions I switched off.
Jumped the shark
Jumped the shark
I can't watch this any more!
Half the pitches are so boring, and is it just me or are they really really weirdly edited this series? One example tonight Sarah I think it was asked a question about numbers and the like as if she was interested, seconds later they cut to her saying 'I'm Out' - Hard to describe until you watch it but it seems a bit all over the place this series!
There are so many cliches now you can see them coming a mile off, Deborah wanting to see the documentation, Peter moaning about the valuation, Touker making a wildcard offer, just far too predictable now!
Evan Bl%$^y Davis and his 'hilarious' puns during the commentary at an all time high...Health food company pitches...'Looking for a HEALTHY investment' 'Deborah isn't quite sure what's on the MENU' 'Another Dragon gives the investment the CHOP' hahahahahahahahaha go away Evan!
As for the 'reaction room' I could post angry face
lots of times and still not express how awful it is!
They can't even get the bit where the Dragon closes their book and puts it on the table after declaring 'I'm ooooot!' (Come back Duncan!) right either now, on several of the pitches the editing made it out as if there were still reading / writing notes even though they were declared out!
Talking of which...
I'M OUT BBC!

Never mind the plinky-plonk door bell type "music" throughout the entire shambles. I thought it was cross-channel intererence at first, 
Regarding the last pitch. I can't help think if that had been anyone else that gave the Dragons false numbers,they would have been shown the door.But because the guy had a sob story he got away with it. I'm another 1 here that's not a fan of the reaction room.

Friend of a friend got investment from Nick.
The business has gone stratospheric.
They are making a fortune.

Because they are broke and really need the 70 grand
they got away lightly, I would have asked for 49%
Because they are financial idiots. They are mature adults working in the music biz for 20 years. A business awash with money, so presumably not on miminum wage for that time and yet they can't put their hands on enough money to pay for a couple of extra prototypes, which can't cost them more than 5 grand.
They are obviously the sort of people who trurn up on "Eat well for less" who blow 300 quid a week on their food shopping.
And if they spendthrifts in their normal day to day life, would you want to go into business with them unless you held the purse strings. I woudn't

Ouch!!
I had to laugh at the Splash Maps, so impractical
People only use proper maps in the hills these days, there are a bunch of maps on their website of citys, have they not heard of google maps, with GPS, where you can download areas to save data on your smartphone
Far more practical that a paper map, or a dishtowel......... I mean splash map!

when deborah offered them the money for 35%, I was surprised they waited to hear the others. I would have said thanks you very much instantly.
peter is a joke. i'll give you the same, but I want more?
they really are a greedy lot, the dragons.

I fast forward all the intros/outros, and just skip straight to the pitches.

When we go out on the horses orienteering or on sponsored rides we always have the paper map cunningly folded in in the waterproof pack, it is perfect. I can just imagine trying to ride while flapping a large scarf over my horse's neck. attempting to flatten it out to find out where I am - worse still what if it starts raining!

I either scan in the part of the OS Map I need and print it off, or go to Streetmap and print if off from there. They use OS as well, and you can enlarge the portion you need. It saves your original map and doesn't take up much room or weigh anything and it doesn't matter if it gets rained on!

Yes, but I'm afraid I wouldnt fork out £29 for one! I always feel sorry for people who are turned down in this show though, well most of them - not the arrogant ones.

I want a Reaction Room! I already have a Wool Room and Gift Wrapping Room
but a Reaction Room would make life complete. I can go in there and just........react.

Lol.
Just catching up on the two episodes. I like how the laid back beanbag guy bought Jack and Kelly Osbourne into the reaction room.
The mother of the boot cleaner boys was a total MILF.
The reaction room needs to be blown up. Hideous feature
