Disagree with that. While the whole show wasn't a complete disaster or anything, ads, as usual ruined it imo. The British version on Foxtel you don't get an ad for at least the first 20 minutes of the show. The first pitch is done in great detail, lots of banter, etc so forth. And no ads. On this version of course ads break up the pitch, was just crap imo. I love Dragons Den but probably won't bother with this Aussie version.

Ten did the same with Graham Norton. Used to love that show on the ABC.

I still don't understand the different between shark tank and dragons den.

Exactly the same apart from different set.
Even same rules.

Without seeing Dragon's Den, I don't think there is supposed to be a difference. Think Ten just ripped the concept off them and used a different name for it :p

Yeah I just read the wiki page.

Looks like US just decided to call the show shark tank instead of dragons den. Or changed the name half way as I'm fairly sure I remember the US having a version of dragons den.

I've been a big fan of dragons den for a long while now and I'm a bit annoyed at the press and channel 10 for not bringing dragons den into it at all. Or even acknowledging this is the second effort in bringing an Australian version of this show when Andrew O'keffe hosted the show back in 2005.
 
Came out from a shower the other night and the GF was watching it.

The middle aged bloke that had the two teenage daughters said a "gag" at one stage and looked at the camera David Brent style.

OMG I love this show. Was hooked after two minutes :oops: Can't wait to spend some quality time watching the British version on Youtube.

I thought I knew you well enough to know when you're being sarcastic or serious. Unfortunately this is one of those moments when I'm unsure.

Anyway I'm a fan. The boys and the bogans are my favourites. The family with the Dad and the two girls shit me. So aware of the camera and spends the whole time yelling his stupid thoughts at the tv.
 
I'm enjoying it but on both occasions when I have watched it I have enjoyed the first 30 to 40 minutes and then switched on my tablet/laptop in the last bit as it drags. Probably needs to be a 30-45 minute show at most.
 
People from the greyhound racing industry in Australia that have been defending the previous weeks 4Corners and have tried to defend or downplay it, should have watched the latest instalment of Gogglebox to see the wider public's reaction.

Like the family in the show with the 2 girls, my 2 girls left the room.
 
Wasnt going to watch this but the missus had seen it the other day and liked it. So gave it a crack and its actually not bad. Their reactions are pretty funny and already have some favorites. Not sure ill watch it all the time but it has some genuine laughs.

Im tipping they are all told what to watch as most were hating downton abbey but seemed to had to watch it all.

Same. I thought I'd hate it but we stumbled across it a couple of weeks ago and it's not that bad at all.

If they spent most or the whole show just watching the incredibly weird Embarrassing Bodies, My Strange Addiction, naked dating type shows, it'd be great. Still like it, but some of the news and popular show segments can be tedious.

Also the older woman's reactions to the walking dead were hilarious.
