[@Jordie59]

Disappointed with 'Dragon's Den's' new format, mirroring 'Shark Tank.' Miss the original's slower pace, in-depth discussions, and realism. Now, it's too rushed, less authentic, with Dragons making offers without proper questioning. Loses its unique charm and depth

[@Daco0kiemonster]

They ask loads of questions they just cut it out to make it more entertaining.

[@skipjumpfly]

This is a clip, I expect it has more than usual cut out.

[@MrAce832]

Editing

[@jacquib256]

It’s about a two hour grilling so I’ve heard AND not a real lift lol

[@jacquib256]

Cocoas been a superfood for years so fair play to Liam for making a business from it as so many talk the talk about this product but have no idea how to put in the hard work!

[@mcfcguvnors]

Bloody hell no matter where i go i cant escape gary bloody neville !

[@erkkiboy]

Next we will have a behind the scenes of the Gary Neville podcast on Dragons Den 😂

[@jolindley9715]

Really loved Gary on here. What a breath of fresh air he is as an entrepreneur. He steered this episode without even trying. Big well done to Liam - inspirational ❤

[@andreaskjorling9200]

I really really hope these clips will be published as a bit longer clips. I really enjoy watching this but feel that I'm missing out on a lot of what is said.

[@sophiecollins]

I agree. The new editing is really jarring. It's like some new idiot is working there and read an article about how "people today want content less than x minutes". But I think Dragons Den junkies want long form content. I'd be fascinated to have access to the full library of pitches unabridged. I've heard some can run on an hour or so.

[@user-fd9tw3td5h]

If you watch the full episode it is not cut down like this, I think this is shortened just for KZbin

[@sophiecollins]

@@user-fd9tw3td5h - Yep - the TV edits are much less jarring. Its so weird, because someone has put in extra work to make them worse. I'd still love to see unabridged pitches too.

[@orga7012]

Even Peter didn't believe his own words at the end. The guy should have asked for 100K at 25%.

[@LolwutStevie]

Actually enjoying Gary on the show, quality offer from him there

[@user-rw8rc3yp9d]

no.

[@mcfcguvnors]

"You askin me out" ? class

[@jonathanliddane4144]

Anyone else noticed that dragons den is the diet coke version of what it used to be?

[@user-mv3nv6us7s]

Yh, it just all seems a bit fake now.

[@johnnysmith80]

He should have gone with Peter and saved himself an extra 10% equity.

[@demonmech]

They’re slowly weeding out Touker 😂

[@whoami1654]

"What niceness" 😂😂

[@nisnga147]

What he forgets is the guatamalan cacao is gifted for ceremony, never sold. It may not be commercialised. So all his spiritual snake oil selling isnt worth shit.

[@Daco0kiemonster]

His cacoa is from Venezuela so no need to get your painties in a twist

[@Dionysos640]

It's just unrefined chocolate. There is no shortage of the plant and it can be grown readily.

[@Starlight-iw9gx]

That was such a wonderful thing to see from Gary Neville. Much respect to him and his willingness to just want to help another person out without any need for personal gain.

[@lf67hh28]

The business won't go anywhere, though. This was just a "TV Moment"

[@Fitzrovialitter]

This is the episode that jumped the shark; I don't believe a word of it.

[@Moinul987]

They don't ask many questions nowadays

[@darylthomas4522]

High on his own supply

[@clared1808]

Good on ya, Gary Neville. Finally a bit of humanity in business👍🏼

[@gem22ful]

I seldom comment on these videos but yeah Gary is just one to be proud of. The humility and the respect he has have floored Stephen down.

[@snatterkart8952]

Gary keeps showing what a fantastic person he is. I would love him as a friend. ❤

[@jenmccartycosmicgypsy1073]

omg that knocked it out of the park made me emotional

[@sophiecollins]

Stephen's expression at 4:39 in reaction to Touker. It's clear that he doesn't think a lot of him.

[@BDogs10]

poor Touks😢

[@sophiecollins]

@@BDogs10 Yeah - I can't quite put my finger on why he doesn't seem to be the investor of choice for anyone. Like if there's three offers and Touker is offering a better valuation / asking for less equity, people still consistently choose one of the others.

[@BDogs10]

@@sophiecollins I guess it’d be very difficult to choose Touker over PJ or Debs. & other Dragons might have the edge on Touks when it comes to persuasion. It’s a bit sad 😔

[@Finderskeepers.]

@@sophiecollins Raising money is one thing but if the advise due to expertise is also an important factor, the personal connection is critical. The better they get on AND respect each other the more likely they are to succeed, just like any partnership. I think Stephen explained very well his issue and why Toukers proposal wasnt a good idea + too many cooks...

[@sophiecollins]

@@Finderskeepers. I understand why on this occasion... my comment was a macro one - he really struggles generally to get people to take his money. He consistently bids lower than the others, but he really struggles. And I feel it too... I'd be looking for Deborah, Sara, Stephen or Peter depending on my business proposal / needs.

[@MrTibbs12]

Can you imagine duncan bannatyne sitting through this rubbish? This man needs a psychiatrist if he believes what he says

[@DanBrown96]

You're not wrong but other people buy into it which equals money.

[@AdamBechtol]

Amen

[@maritzageva7280]

I love it …thanks for sharing ❤

[@eh4372]

This guy clearly has just watched way to much Russel brand

[@janinekay]

Yeah he thinks he is Jesus .. believe me .. I was mad enough to go to one of his ceremonies yesterday 😮.. never again ! Plus that cacao drink eeek I had a proper comedown after it 😬it not for everyone especially if your already on Prozac 😅

[@sophiecollins]

I don't like the new editing on these episodes - it's all quite jarringly abrupt

[@likhith587]

Couldn’t agree more. Used to love the editing style of the old episodes, which made each pitch feel like a flowing story

[@slippinjimmy6997]

But it's only editited for KZbin.

[@sophiecollins]

@@slippinjimmy6997 what's your point? I'm watching it on KZbin and I hate it

[@shanereilly9216]

Wow Gary is amazing I love him what he said and the wow he put himself out 😊there

[@jack-a-lopium]

Didn't we get a cacao business on DD before? Does anybody remember which season or if the clip is up on YT?

[@BenjaminGoose]

Ceremonial-grade? Healing properties? Blessed in Manchester? What a load of horseshit.

[@lukeofficial6572]

Gary is just a top bloke I wish him the best in all his life and ventures just a true humble person

[@beebeesbeautyblog5814]

I’ve had and it’s awesome product - can’t wait to see more!

[@davidharrison3086]

Gary would turn up to the opening of an envelope

[@gerardnation1916]

It is absolutely predictable just how much virtue signalling exists in the evolving dialogue on dragons den. Whether it is advocating that we live in 18 Square metres whilst dragons live in mansions or whether it's the green message that suddenly limits our ability to travel whilst a dragon uses a private jet. For decades dragons den has pulled the rug on contestants by saying I can get your product cheaper in China. I used to enjoy this programme when it was more honest and authentic.

[@AdamBechtol]

Mmmmm

[@samstudy21]

Stephen only cared about the money and made it sound like it was the effort he’d lose. He only accepted once Gary sacrificed 5% of his shares and he knew he’d look bad denying the offer.

[@JG-vj7lm]

Gaz seems like a stand up person

[@wardosravin]

Am I watching the right show? What is Neville doing on there? I've been out of the UK for too long clearly!

[@101Killerkid]

Thats his product being sold at the Hotel and Salford 😂

[@youtube_user4422]

Done Deborah dirty with that thumbnail

[@MagneticFreeze]

I know Gary has something to do with football but Idk if he has any business skills like the rest of the dragons and that just based on the offer he presented in that video feels more like a charity offer then mean streak of a dragon wud show. Putting this guy in the show makes me feel like they want to go more main stream and put familiar faces rather then unknown rich entrepreneurs we've never heard of like Steven. Hes kind of interesting I never heard of him till Dragons den he brings a young eye to the show and he has had drama with Touker Suleyman in a few episodes.

[@rolorolo6297]

Gary's got around 50 million in properties and hotels around the world 🌎 😳

[@markshepperson3603]

He used to write for The Times also (UKs most high brow newspaper) and has businesses but failed as a football manager after finishing his playing career.

[@Squish-TheUrbanScribe]

I like Gary.

[@Lommy9999]

How come Debra looks both younger and older at the same time?

[@AdamBechtol]

:p

[@sanjsharma9903]

I think Peter is the only dragon that anyone needs his knowledge is superior when it comes to business.

[@user-jd8fz9wq9d]

the editing is too fast on this new season I feel

[@devverma8484]

Dragons just have to remember though, this guy has got spiritual powers on his side. Dragon's tried to manipulate him, from a better offer of 10% by Peter to 25% for same money! that's just wrong....but the Elephant God Ganesha he brought along was watching it all, it ain't gonna be easy to manipulate and get away with such ppl.

[@ndumifakudze]

Steven does not like Touker hey 😂

[@HULLDUDE666]

What did G. Nev think was in chocolate! 🤦‍♂

[@stee74sb]

Are you asking me out 😂

[@BDogs10]

feel a bit uncomfortable with this retort. *if I’m in Business with this guy? is he going to weird (or creep) me out? 😂

[@JL-gf3yc]

He’s asking for money and investment but he forgot his business suit

Full Power!!!

[@ML-or2ot]

Wtf is Gary Neville doing in the den . Is he a dragon now or is this a special

[@seankelly3774]

Gary is just great.

[@drew8958]

Not bad for just calling chocolate by its raw ingredient and selling it like its a new exciting product !

Haha that’s the reason I clicked on the video! I I hadn’t seen recent episodes of Dragons’ Den and thought “she’s changed”! They all have got older though!

[@FraserS60]

Annoying to see the comments spammed with bots quoting AWT66K

This screams Cult leader.

[@maryrosevandermeer4222]

So how in the hell is everyones favorite topic AWT66K ?

[@user-gu6nv2im8e]

It's funny how some arguments from Dragons Den don't get mentioned in certain episodes. Sometimes, a product doesn't have a business and it's instantly copy-able yet here we have magic beans and everyones in on it? Also, the new set is awful. Really jarring

[@estefaniablabla]

I hope they don't end up once again massively profiting from the lands of Guatemala at the cost of unsustainable exploration, it's definitely not about the sacredness and honoring cacao how would he bless and massive produce agggggggggg

[@MVG7]

I thought Steven left Dragons Den??

[@AdamBechtol]

One can only hope.

[@Daco0kiemonster]

Cacao dose not naturally come from the Philippines. Venezuelan cacao taste better and has higher nutrition. Also of course the uk doesn't know as much about cacoa because it doesn't grow anywhere near us.

Gary has zero business heritage to give as he has people around him to make business decisions as he’s a basic lad. Says here have my money to hide this fact and I’ll pop in to make you a cuppa from time to time.

[@mahirbarghash9197]

Stupid guy. He had an offer for 10% from Peter for all of the money. Then he took an offer at 25% for the same amount of money. So he basically gave 15% of his business for free.
