[@HardlyQuinn]

I have really come to hate the term empowerment. It's just used in the worst ways. Body positivity is on the verge of the same

[@Gonken88]

It's all just a bunch of loons in denial over the fact that they're morbidly unhealthy. It's ridiculous, they're worse than obstinate children. I'm making my cat a long snout out of an empty paper towel roll and will call her a dog 👍. At least she'll look funny.

When you check all the Dragons net worth, you start to understand their risk level and how they are going about their investments and the frequency in which they invest!

[@biggreen751]

I’m guessing Peter on top , then Debbie then tej and Sarah and lastly Theo ?

[@jamesflames6987]

She didn't specify whether she had passed the law exams or dropped out...

She dropped out, That's obvious..

She's only been out a week. I doubt she's sat for the exam yet

Editing purposes, because they are not all filmed in one day.

[@mary_syl]

I like her. Totally disagree it's a saturated market - fashionable plus size stuff is absolutely not! She has the drive and she doesn't lack experience any more than half of the other DD candidates 🙄 Peter often gives phony reasons when he simply doesn't like someone.

[@jamesflames6987]

"Celebrating body positivity" is a funny way of saying "obesity epidemic".

Nice lady, shame no investment How is she doing now ?

[@enchanted_blue9807]

Looks like she is still trading which is great news

[@asupastar3600]

Sally is doing brillantly her business is really successful so by not investing they did her a huge favour 👍🏽

[@jakecooper5855]

She has a massive attitude problem

[@jamesflames6987]

She didn't post profit and loss so who knows but she is still the sole employee and the assets of the company decreased over the last year so looks like she basically just has a website ticking over and they were right not to invest.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Sally was murdered sadly by a 'keep women thin' member.

[@lchristian3980]

LOL! Theo The Fetus...

[@TheUgly1s]

What's sad is I wanted to go and see her website. I dont even have a brand or logo to look up. What a waste of a once in a life opportunity.

[@jakecooper5855]

It's literally in the first 2 sentences of her pitch and took about 4 seconds to find on google..

[@scootsmcgoots]

Yeah honestly, you need to work on your google skills, bud. Don't read her blog, it'll definitely change your opinion of her. Yikes.

500 and thats normal for the first few years of a business when your looking for investers. They want to see you putting all money you can back into the business or why would they invest to just pay your salary.
