Any thoughts on the new dragons?

I like the Indian chef but the money man with the tattoos is more arrogant than Kevin. I never thought I would say that.

The Indian chef is useless on this show. I think he only made 1 deal so far.

There was 1 pitch that had to do with food, he made an offer and they turned him down.

In this recent episode, he made an offer and asked how could he help. In the same episode, he offered 10% for their price, and Arlene and David offered 20% for the same price, and they went with Arlene/David.

I've never heard of him before this show, and it seems like others havn't either or just don't want to work with him.

I've watched this show since the very beginning and liked it, until I started watching SHARK TANK, I now cringe when I return to watch Dragons Den. I believe that Kevin and Robert added something to the show that the new guys don't.

The 2 new guys irritate me in a way that's hard to describe, but let me try...

Vikram is really USELESS. He only is interested in food and sometimes even food people aren't interested in him! He even mentioned one time "I'm only a poor Indian" who says that?! Also his accent often makes him unintelligible!

The Karate chop meth addict with palm tattoos that babbles all the time guy, who's name escapes me for the very good reason that he is so annoying and irratating and often also hard to understand makes the show seem like a joke, he doesn't seem serious but often is too serious...I just can't stand him.

This is after watching 12 episodes of season 9.

Apparently Arlene & David are leaving this show...4 people in 2 years!! Abandon ship!!

Anyone noticed how so many of the "Updates" are about companies that never went with the Dragons or that backed out of the deal?

Ever watched the Quebec version of this show "Dans L'Oeil Du Dragon" or the UK version which is SOOoOOOOO boring!

Shark Tank is a much better show.

I don't like Shark Tank at all. Never liked Robert and Kevin either. Now without Arlene it's just Jim left as an original. I hope the replacements for Arlene and David are much better than the two we got this season. Terrible!

The last 2 episodes had food deals again, and they both turned Vikram down. That's at least 3 food deals that didn't want to work with him.

actually I keep expecting him to say, "It puts the lotion in the basket 'else it gets the hose again".. lol

..arrogant piece of work isn't he..love to meet him in a back alley..wipe that smirk right off that long haired face of his...and the East Indian serves no purpose on this show at all.

[–] glitchz 9 years ago

i love the blonde guy. i think he's hilarious, and i don't take him too seriously. him and robert are my favourite dragons.

and vikram, the east indian guy.... he is the worst piece of crap to ever get on the show. he's annoying, completely useless, always backs out of deals and offers some ridiculous deals, and he's hard to look at

i hate vikram

[–] rs_cyr 9 years ago

No more Vikram thank goodness!

Now we have Joe Fresh owner and 2 women to take the place of Arlene. I like all three.

The Indian guy's gimmick was to invest in food stuff, but hasn't really. The tats guy is a tryhard, trying really hard to be like Kevin.
