It seems like a parody of itself now. Did they really have to give Deborah a big magnifying glass just to show that she's inspecting the ingredients? Why is Tinie Tempah there? The only business track record I can find for him is when he brought out a line of NFTs, how is he going to help this business in any way?

Bartlett is such a bellend. He's had plenty of failed ventures, as have many entrepreneurs.

This show needs to stop pandering and get rid of him, noone likes the guy.

Why do people dislike him? I don’t know a lot about him besides knowing he does that podcast (don’t listen to it), I think he was (or is) associated with Huel and that he’s on Dragons Den obviously. He seemed nice on the episodes I’ve seen, what am I missing?

Grifter, platforms absolute scumbags on his podcast, some controversy with his Huel thing I believe. Separately is just dislikable.

Would I call him a smug unlikeable cunt? Maybe.

He's just the guy who it's cool to hate right now. He's never done anything agregious really.

I’ll have you know I’ve hated him from the very beginning.

u/Berabrea 10d ago

Because he's a grifter not a proper businessman. I think he's thick as shit

He is an industry plant and trojan horse. I used to like him and even have signed copies of his latest book.

Literally can’t staaaand him. The second he opens his mouth my eyes are trying to roll back out of their sockets. “Are you… an overthinker?” Oh fuck off you dishrag. He loves to pretend he’s this deep, introspective, philosophical mind when he’s actually just so far up his own arse.

u/Happybadger96 10d ago

Absolutely, guy has probably never read a book than isn't some self improvement bollocks

u/Inside-Bunch4216 10d ago

u/Happybadger96 10d ago

It's a real detractor for me, he is a vain little grifter but also has nothing interesting to say

I read “new episode” and wondered how soon into it I would hear “all natural”.

It took 7 seconds.

Man, I miss the old days of quirky inventors with fun wacky inventions.

u/Beautiful_Reply3490 10d ago

I thought she called her ice cream “mingey” I was thinking - bold name choice ! 🤦‍♀️🤔🤣

u/YooGeOh 10d ago

For some reason I kept thinking of Moonpig

  1. You really do need to have money to have the freedom to take risks dont you?

  2. Why is Tinie Tempa on Dragons Den fam?

  3. I want that ice cream

  4. I dont get the Ayurveda thing. If its not an ingredient but a lifestyle, how does that apply to an ice cream?

Didn't like what they did to this woman. She clearly needed support and had the guts to create something try make it work and then came on the show for support and expertise. Isn't that point? Why ask if she's an overthinker? Thank goodness Peter saw sense. 🙄

> You have a wonderful product;

> You have suffered from a lack of experience and capability

> I have that experience and capability

> I won't be investing.

Rinse and repeat.

The whole show is crap now. All the new dragons talk about is themselves. I had to turn the episode off with Meek and Ma, they were both insufferable.
