Rude Property Entrepreneurs Infuriate The Dragons | Dragons' Den 

I think the walk up the stairs nearly finished one of them off 😂

The minute he said "my turn?", his fate was sealed, and he was doomed to standing on the edge of his fishpond with rod in hand.

“I was involved in multi-level marketing” aka I narrowly avoided jail for running a pyramid scheme.

It’s probably a good idea to not be rude,smug and arrogant when asking people to give you money.

Surprised none of them called the 'multi-level marketing' guy out for having been involved in selling pyramid schemes.

Duncan - "Whatever you do, I'm out" 🤣🤣 I love him

"what's your experience" "Multilevel marketing" "What was the model" "The model we're using" "What happened" "It failed" "Why should i invest then" "It's the people's fault not the business model"

I believe it's the first time when I watch Dragons Den without even understanding the business model.

Never knew Colonel Sanders was in the property market.

"Commission only" is a code for crap wages. So I certainly wouldn't back them.

Being rude to the Dragons then storming out? That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

People often forget personality and the character of a businessman also plays a big part in whether someone should receive and investment or not. The way he says “My turn” in a confrontational, Almost condescending manner, speaks volumes.

I can't tell if he's nervous or out breath putting his sale sign up

1:00. Had to smile when the first dude introduced his partner like he was Warren Buffett while said partner stood there actually glowing. It didn't get better

1:00 Guys I think you all underestimate who you're talking about, this is THE Gil Ostrander. Show some respect.

"built a business from multi level marketing" I mean the proposal already sounded terrible, but then he said that at the end.... NOPE

That dude breathing heavy just standing there.

"It's not the business model that failed. It's people... Businesses don't fail. Airplanes don't crash. Pilots crash airplanes. The people fail." Wow, Gil - way to throw your business partner, who managed a failed business with your realtor method, under the bus.

Their business went belly up in Dec '21 for those wondering how it went (according to company house) I guess it was because of bad people.

The realtor business model in the USA these two scam artists describe is absolutely the worst. I know from first hand experience.

Multi level marketing? So the guy ran a pyramid scheme lmao.

“I failed at other pyramid schemes, so I joined a different one.” Ladies and gents, to your right you’ll see a scammer and to your left you’ll see his mark.

peter's analysis, in such a short time, is really impressive.

No shocker that the only strategy the MLM guy knows is trying to talk over people and be a generally rude person.

Would have liked to see their remarks after this disastrous pitch. Old boy sure doesn’t like being questioned !!

Dishonest people are always on the defence and get rude when their corruption is exposed.

The way these dragons dealt with potential conflict with these odious characters, by giving it silence and space, was an absolute masterclass in letting a fool dig his own grave. Bravo all round!

I didn't understand what they were offering, but if I were a dragon I would have struggled to work with the two people.

I really loved Hilary. She was sharp and to the point. But she was always fair and wise

When [he] interrupted and said “ok well neither was I but go ahead” followed by “my turn”, I truly thought he was going to get destroyed by the dragons. Instead I learned a valuable lesson-never give people a taste of their own medicine...because they already know what it tastes like. The composure of the dragons, and the humility within their responses; they didn’t need to rip him apart because they destroyed him with intelligence, eloquence and manner. Their humbleness is truly inspiring. I guess that’s how they became dragons in the first place...

Richard: "I was involved in multi-level marketing..." Me: "I'm out!"

Did anyone else think 'Gil Ostrander' was a one word first name, like some badass medieval knight

Commission only jobs always brought out the worst behaviour in the worst people. That’s why in the USA they still exist and here they don’t

I love how he is called Dunkan Valentine in the video description

RIP Hilary , my fav Dragon 🕊️

I was a business reporter and when I'd interview people like this, the first tell was always defensiveness and indiignation in response to an incisive question.

0:49 how do you turn up for an investment pitch with a f***ing typo 🤦‍♂️

My man was really fighting for this life during that pitch

I wouldn't trust either of them to sell a house for me tbh.

I always love the banter between Theo and Peter

John Hammond has really fallen from grace ever since his island burned down.

Duncan's typical response is , "I dont understand the product, i dont get the product and i dont get you - im out"

@1:18 the sign says "counrty".

What a combative little gnome. Did he think he was there to fight real dragons?

0:14 My brain: "plos" Also my brain: "Wait a minute, that can't be "plos", dude." My brain (again): "PLOS"

Something about Hilary that I always liked. There has been no dragon before or since like her, complete one off. I miss her on the show.

3:36 the slow zoom with the music after Peter’s comment, hahah. I can’t stop replaying it

Very argumentative little guy. Makes for good entertainment though.

I love Hilary short and straight to the point ❤

Bad idea to anger people who can give you lots of money.

“Pilots crash planes, technical faults only account for 1% of aviation accidents.” Spontaneous bullish!t at its best.

First show I ever watched and didn't understand what was on offer. Either way, these guys were combative than convincing.

RIP Hillary 🙏 ❤️‍🔥

He sounds like he was about to drop dead while delivering his pitch

6:01 is such a crazy comment. This aired in 2011.

Debara: “I don’t like the way your wig is sewed in, & for that reason I’m out.”

You could see the alarm bells ringing in Peter Jones' head from the first minute they mentioned 'straight commission model' and 'active sales force'.

That was quite uncomfortable. I was half expecting Theo to get up and slap him about a bit.

Those 2 felt like a bit from a show in an alternate universe, like Pinky and the Brain

imagine asking for that much money from someone then being rude to them about it

At those sorts of figures the sales force would have to sell a few places a day to just wash their faces in terms of a salary

“I was involved in multi level marketing” ah, so you were a professional scammer?

10:35 I'd love to know where he got the "pilot error" stat. I'm not going to look it up, but I watch enough Mentour Pilot videos to know that planes often present the pilot with issues that the pilot is forced to resolve, not the other way around.

It's so convoluted I need a drink after listening to these two. Also Gil talks! Who would've thought!

Did anyone else notice the spelling cockup on the P Jones sign? Town and Counrty

What about poor Peter Jones? Love that bit from Theo

Gil looks like he should be bilking his congregation out of millions of dollars. And Richard sounds so nervous that he's about to be turned down by his potential prom date.

Please someone get this guy some oxygen ASAP I couldn't help but be extremely worried about him the entire pitch!!!!!!

The pitch couldnt have gone worse if they put up red flags instead of sales boards.

10:09 the absolute highlight. Dying.

Nah one the guys was speaking breath language 😂 man was scared

"I used to sell snakeoil then i started a vitamin company which went bankrupt. Anyhow would you like invest in my new vitamin company?"

Realtors / Estate Agents in a nutshell right there 😂

10:27 Today i learned that airplanes are the perfect machine: they have never suffered ANY mechanical issues in their 100+ year history and are impervious to outside forces like weather. Incredible. The more you know.

Touker would have been interested if these estate agents were listing prime London office spaces instead

Peter Jones made it very clear the reasons why it would not work.

A weasel and a fox walk into the Dragon's Den - it goes about how you'd expect. That guy couldn't convince me water was wet if I doubted it for a second, so I don't know how he managed to run MLM in any capacity.

Rude Property Entrepreneurs is our new band name

They did not stay "remarkably composed" XD

I didn't think they were hugely rude, they're just the sort of people who stop you at the supermarket and badger you into signing on with some dodgy energy company.

By the sound of the first man's lungs, he won't be around long enough to seal any deal.

"30 guys doing that everyday" ... Except that wouldn't happen. Estate agent offices boast about selling a couple hundred houses a year in their extremely small territories.

The multi-level guy was in a diet scheme and it failed miserably when he tried to sell it

I'm sure I heard Jenny's voice in the background saying "Don't come knocking on my door. I'm out!"

What did they need the money for? The business that they had envisioned could be built by bootstrapping the business.

lmao the way every single dragon went totally silent and let him stew in the awkwardness after he said "my turn?"

6:24 why is this sooooo funny haha the way he keeps looking at him in shock like he is saying: how dare you? lol

Gil reminds me of one of the killers in Columbo....too clever for his own good but you know he's going to get found out in the end

To be fair I think their sign is very common looks just like any real estate sign hanging in dodgy areas for ages 😁

These video chapters are hilarious!

Okg that first guy could hardly talk with being out of breath climbing those stairs 😂

No, if a plane fails because of a mechanical problem it is the mechanics (or maybe the parts manufacturers) fault.

why they breathing soooo loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The silence @4:56 lol. They're all like, 'You messed up'

Pretty sure Gil passed away in 2018. RIP Colonel Sanders secret twin.

Unless you’re already rich and famous, being obnoxious usually doesn’t get you very far in life .. 🤷‍♀️

Peter and Theo both demonstrated cross exam skills that would put some KCs to shame in this one.

If I close my eyes I can hear David Attenborough sell me a property pitch

This should be a comedy show 😂

I think the title is a little misleading. Gil Ostrander is very rude and arrogant, but his business partner Richard Williams is modest and forthcoming, and he never interrupts the Dragons or forces his opinions on them.
