    One significant difference between Dragons' Den UK & Shark Tank is that on ST, Mark Burnett Productions & ABC will make a percentage of any revenue generated from the investments. I cannot speak for the other countries' versions of DD, but this is definitely true of ST and is a blip on the closing credits. #sharktank

    I enjoy this show, but I still prefer the British version, "Dragon's Den," which is broadcast on BBC America. (If anyone has video of the original Japanese format -- or the Russian, Nigerian, or Afghani versions, for that matter -- I'd love to see it.)

    @Pope John Peeps II: There was an awful American show kind of like this a few years ago, in which the inventors all had sob stories and were eliminated one by one each week. But they've kept this one pretty close to the original -- it's all about whether or not the business seems like a good investment. And the bickering between the investors can be pretty funny. #sharktank

    @TedSez: Yah, I love the Dragon's Den and I cannot believe Americans, or even Canadians, can do it justice. Is the UK version of the Apprentice, with 'Surallan' also on BBC USA? Also recommended.
    Though the only real success I've ever seen come out of the Dragon's Den has been that Notting Hill guy's 'Reggae Reggae Hot Sauce.'
    I don't think he even got funding from the Dragons, but within weeks it seemed Sainsbury's was stocking his jerk sauce. #sharktank

    My husband grew up there and his entire family live there and let me say this: this is what passes for attractive up there. Seriously.

    I've seen their Sunday paper, and thier section of decorating about made me puke. What passes for "Klassy" up there would make anyone with eyes go blind.

    "Werecougars" would be muuuuch sexier. Half cougar-half werewolf. Kinda like the 1982 version of "Cat People."

    Also, cougs start at around age 48, she is way too young to be cougin' it, and the age differential between the coug and the cougee needs to be more substantial. Ten years, even ten years of bad road, is no biggie.

    What about the ladies on The Golden Girls? Are they considered cougars? Do women in the age range of Dorothy, Blanche and rose need another moniker for their sexual appetite? Jaguar? Panther? Leopard? Sounds like Apple OS. Maybe after Snow Leopard Apple will name the next OS Cougar.
