Let's be honest his pitch delivery was brilliant

[@TheUltimateBlooper]

Nah, very sales-y, I'd be dissuaded immediately. The only good thing here is the actual taste test.

[@QUANTUMJOKER]

Very true. He's extremely charismatic.

[@robinwright531]

I found the initial pitch a bit tedious

[@Asif-kh-n9r]

@@TheUltimateBlooper he actually has passion and belief in what he's selling though? He's not just a Kirby vacuum seller kinda guy

[@ib9359]

Once a year I recieve a fresh bottle of olive oil from south Italy via an friend. The taste is unbelieveble good and nothing you can compair with the olive oil from the supermarket. Debora was wrong, the guy was right. Investing in a guy like this traveling the world and doing his own thing is not easy. I kinda understand the dragons didnt invest. Peter was the most accurate on his reaction. Still, great business!

[@SR-fm1ft]

Debra is actually completely wrong. What you get at the grocery stores isn’t this.

[@David_Mc_Our_God_Reigns]

Deborah is a person who thinks she’s always right and never wrong she thinks she’s above the world I’ve never liked her

[@Sub-515]

Classic case of she doesn't know what she doesn't know.

[@ib9359]

True

[@arronchiplin1446]

If you watched, you would have seen that she was proved wrong in the video. You don't need to reiterate that here

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Michael is what EVERY entrepreneur on this show SHOULD be in terms of passion and enthusiasm. These days there are more carbon cut-outs and are sell outs. Michael was the REAL DEAL.

[@invertedname3099]

I’d buy anything from this dude.

[@NullifidianYT]

Make sure to count your change, because he can't.

[@LV2UJC-FM]

I love a good Olive Oil and buy the olive oil he's showing. Deborah buys expensive olive oil from a store, like the rest of us Olive Oil lovers, but that doesn't make her an expert to know the difference between "Pure Olive Oil made fresh in Italy or even a counterfeit oil made with Soybeans." Unless she traveled the world tasting the best quality Olive Oils, she shouldn't knock down someone who does it for a living. I like Deborah, but her argument with him had no merit.

[@scottyk200]

I drank a whole bottle one evening. Couldn’t resist.

[@SaydeeEnward4500]

No you didn't

[@Spliro]

I’m curious to know your bmi

[@mysarc]

Deborah is absolutely WRONG. The stuff from the supermarket is hot garbage at best. We have an olive farm in Greece and the stuff we get from there isn't anywhere close to the supermarket junk. The flavors are much more complex rather than the one-note, bland version most people commonly buy. Glad someone put her in her place.

[@TheUltimateBlooper]

You're wrong! xD

[@BenjaminGoose]

There's no dragon called Debra.

[@bash547]

@@BenjaminGoose Right, There’s Deborah Meen, Pizza Jones, Theo the Fetus, Duncan Valentine…

[@mysarc]

@thechasebanks How? You went around calling another person "delusional" for saying the same thing yet you give no reasoning.

[@mb8083]

To be honest, I was amazed by the taste, variety, and quality of olives in Greece.

[@BenjaminGoose]

I hope he's not sourcing it from Spain. if you know you know.

[@christophermejia2167]

Have you ever worked with Spanish?

[@anubusx]

lol if that woman has seen this she will be raging.

[@yamahaevo]

There has been others on dragons den saying this to, did not end well for them haha. Even it's true.

[@ScottOSaurus]

That’s not relevant

[@TheUltimateBlooper]

[@Maynards_so_blue]

I love watching these while I'm eating

[@IFEELSORRYok]

That’s my daily routine lol

[@roseyvision]

Same!

[@duvasq]

Oh someone like me. Every Lunch I have an episode to DD

[@00Kuja00]

Good he put Deborah in her place.

[@aaronripper28]

Ironically he looks like the guy that would be passionate about olive oil

[@VinzentC]

I remember watching this exact pitch on TV when I was like 10 or something. Funny to see how food clubs are so popular now, it's possible he was before his time.

[@hgreen71]

This is one of if not the best pitch ever on the den. I mean he nailed it, even though he didn’t get an investment, he gave it 110%.

[@adashofbitter]

I always go with the first pressing. I mean, why wait until everyone else has had their fun with the olives?

[@murrayw17]

Ha classic peep show reference 😂

[@AliciaSykes]

The older series of Dragons Den was so much better, rough and ready.

[@mrhaltonok]

Funny how the casting gave them all such fixed roles. Want someone to break down the figures? That’s James job. Want someone to stress test the product - Theo. I like it that over the years they’ve changed this to fit in with what the dragons actually do and what they invest in

[@wardosravin]

Before wokeism took over corporate life and every mainstream show.

[@shogunero3.6]

@@wardosravin exactly. Now everything is all woke crap. I can’t stand this virus man.

[@Mickenos85]

You said almost exactly what I thought you would Peter. I can see you could turn this into a business.

[@Mickenos85]

How fabulous to get a lesson in tasting olive oil. And that it so obviously works.

[@itnaklipse1669]

i honestly think Deb was a bit vexed for having been wrong..

[@trayel83]

Italy has over 64 million tourish per year. He should of pitched around that. Giving the number of them who bring back oil would be a Hugh difference. Cause that number would tell you whom the customers are. And also having those oils sold at air port could be hugh

[@bradleymilton9372]

He is passionate

[@jasonbored8319]

He very passion

[@ceelabbcbd2158]

I feel he was a ahead of his time with the subscription model. If this was a new episode he would get investment. He was so good.

[@Dismanameboi]

He didn’t know his numbers which was a big problem.

[@nxesr]

Such a low nasty degrading comment from Theo, unbelievable‼️

[@biggingeryeti]

I do kind of miss the days where people were both excited and nervous to go up the stairs and not want to be slow to waste time but then be breathless going through the pitch.

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

I never even knew there was different flavour olive oils lol

[@Mus-Doc]

I love how the dragons think they know everything about every industry 🤣

[@nickallen1938]

Damn he made me interested in olive oil now he really did give a good pitch.

[@techwiz81]

Terrible idea but this is maybe the best pitch I’ve ever heard on the show, most of these people can barely stammer out a sentence

[@centralprocessingunit7431]

i think the best pitch was the coconut water guy.

[@infjmale91]

I thought Ron Jeremey was in prison? Is this is brother?

[@anubusx]

I remember seeing him in Ghostbusters.

[@PW-72648]

The way these jerks behave is tiring to watch.

[@sharpsonmusic]

If only there was a product that could store multiple cases of olives in some sort of tower shape. That would really save on freshness. Shame no one's ever pitched that......

[@AjHxze-lx4jn]

The fact Theo said Michael was the “easiest person to fool” is quite ironic considering what Michael said to Deborah “because you don’t know it yet” same goes for all of the other dragons, they assume just because they’re paying more for something at the supermarket it must be better… I’m glad Michael shut them all up with a taste test and comparison of a higher end product off the shelf. Good on him.

[@barneylaurance1865]

Was that a tasting or a guided visualization session? Very different to a proper triangle test tasting.

[@FeechLaMannas]

This guy can PITCH. Engaging, really interesting, just want to learn more and try the oils.

[@ianlister7333]

whilst I am sure there is stuff out there that is above the standards of say Waitrose. I feel like the best market for that is restaurants and bigger name chefs.

[@BenjaminGoose]

Why did you. Put a full stop and then continue the sentence?

[@yamahaevo]

Why was he the easiest person to fool? Anyone?

[@pureskrap]

It’s a figure of speech, there’s no one to tell you it’s a bad idea when it’s your own sort of thing

[@bethsewer5463]

I've tried so many olive oils and they all taste horrible. They all ended up in the trash . Way to oily . Oh how I wish I could get my hands on his no oil product . Anyone know where I can order just one bottle of his product ?

[@psychopassive]

duncan looks like he doesn't want to be there half of the time

[@starmanager7187]

Amazing product best ever had 😊😊😊

[@adashofbitter]

I genuinely will never understand why people get their numbers wrong. Literally, just write them down if you can’t be bothered memorising them. I think the dragons would appreciate that.

[@letraynumeroyletra]

they are not allowed to have anything in writing there have even been cheaters with stuff written in their hands and they have been reprimanded

[@Erickhetfield]

I only tasted a good olive oil once (nothing to the level of the ones this guy presented) and it tastes NOTHING like what we consider olive oil tastes like. It's not like a chocolate, where a good one tastes better than an cheap one. It justs tastes like something else entirely.

[@jm-nv5bl]

Do they not realize how many head chefs and hotel managers would be interested in this sort of thing in oder to get fresh olive oil for their restaurants

[@johnmchugh4655]

Pitch would have stood more chance if Popeye ran it...

[@charlisays]

Id love to go on one of his tours. Throw in sone good wine and a ton of bread and cheese and yummmmm!

[@jasonm4332]

they all stared at each other when he said 246pounds for 12 bottles-tho that is pretty much the accurate price point for real organic olive oil-not the crap in supermarkets
