Hey,
Sitting watching this on Virgin1 at the moment - Its part of their new line up, its... unusual to say the least.
I know its the American equivalent of Dragons Den but it seems a bit more, crazy lol. Some of the ideas are reeealy strange.
The actual layout of the show is sightly different, Twelve inventors and their products are chosen from a pool of hundreds by the four judges.
Its slightly different to Dragons Den, its more like Pop Idol where one person gets $1,000,000.
Seriously unusual, the idea that is on that the moment is weird. Its pretty scared, its like a long coat that hides you taking a leak... into a bag.
Wrong...
The 12 semi-finalists are broken down into four groups of three, with each episode focusing on a different group of three. Each of the twelve semi-finalists in each group receives $50,000 to improve their inventions and compete to become one of the four finalists.
In the show's live finale, the four finalists present a 30-second commercial advertisement for their product, with the home audience voting by phone for the winner. The winner receives $1,000,000 worth of business support, entrepreneurial counsel, physical resources, and prize money.
