Update from the Dragon's Den

Posted by Bonny Albo Sep 25, 2006

BBC's version of the Dragon's Den is already doing extremely well, and reality-TV shows are definitely still in the hot spot with viewers around the world. So it isn't surprising then that CTV has decided to throw in their own version of Trump's entrepreneurial show.

Airing five shows in October, the idea runs on the premise that new entrepreneurs will pitch their ideas (and spend their own money) to show experienced entrepreneurs (such as Boston Pizza's Jim Treliving) that they have what it takes. Tension purpotedly have run so high on the show that the producers have begun taping the business deals after the show finished airing as an add-on in case the series becomes a huge hit. And the first business deal from the show is supposedly being signed next week.
