Episode 9

Of course the last thing shown got the deal in the end. First the noteworthy things along the way. Arlene offered a partial deal to the cereal bar people but when no one else anted up she backed down.

I was surprised that Dickinson didn't get in on the Home Organizing box deal. It seems like something that's all about marketing and she only wanted a tiny amount of money. In the end Jim, Robert and Laurence went for what seemed a reasonably solid pitch. It wasn't really clear to me though why she needed the money again. As the dragon's pointed out, she had orders in hand. If she begged and borrowed to get the money to fill those orders I think she would have been a lot better off then giving up her company to the dragons.

The discussion with the spring water pitch was mildly interesting with some fireworks between the dragons. Robert described how he didn't have the easy road that O'Leary apparently did. However, he still felt it was possible to overcome starting from nothing. Good news for most budding entrepreneurs

The baby carrier was a colossally bad idea. Are people who are irresponsible enough to almost drown their kids seriously going to plan ahead and buy something that lessons the chance of that happening.
