I’ve been calling that show cancer since it began.
A bunch of bootlickers literally preening for the attention of senpai billionaires as they judge your worth. 🤮
It’s always been pathetic, just like Donny’s gameshow before it with the same disgusting narrative. These people should be in mental health facilities for public safety and their own out of control hoarding compulsions, not giving anyone advice, let alone passing judgement on others.
A celebration of avarice and sociopathy for profit as virtue. You might as well celebrate rape or murder while your at it.
Can’t wait for the UK version.
Sadly, it might be easier to get actual sharks for the “Shark Tank” than actual dragons for the “Dragon’s Den” - but don’t worry, the original idea is actually that the billionaires are the dragons, sat upon a pile of immorally hoarded wealth - so what if we gathered a selection of billionaires in a cave (sat on a pile of all their gold and treasure, like dragons) then allowed teams of people to go into the cave and attack them with swords? If the dragons are defeated, their wealth can be redistributed more equitably.
To make it fair, the “dragons” would, like dragons, be allowed to defend themselves with their claws and breath. If they’re too lazy to actually breathe fire, that’s their own fault for not working harder.
Perfect. Could even have a reality show built on it. Make them do “peasant” jobs and see how good they do. Then have them vote their fellow billionaires into the tank. Winner gets one season off.
I feel like the Undercover Boss concept was underdeveloped. I wanted to see a “boss” actually live on the wages they paid, find a place to rent, buy groceries and pay utilities, and basically swap lives with an employee for 6 months. Then at the end of 6 months, the employee gets to decide if they want to swap back.
I always hated undercover boss because of the temporary nature of the arrangement. Anybody can live on rice and beans for a week if they have to, it’s the knowing that it will end and you can go back to your opulence that makes it bearable. They really need to experience no hope to get the real picture. The weight on your conscience 24/7 knowing that it will never get better is what crushes people.
Like when that dipshit millionaire thought he could start over with nothing and be making a million dollars within a year, and then he had to “give up” at like 5 months in because his dad got sick and he was basically homeless living off the kindness of people he knew when he was rich. And he claimed it was a success.
Rice and beans are awesome I live on them even when I have money to not do so
“Life Swap” I like it.
Host: “Today on Life Swap, we check back in with the Waltons, who are now working as associates in one of their rural Mississippi stores.”
Walton #3: [collapses]
Team Lead Kenny: [pokes Walton #3 with a stick] “Get up! We need this zone stocked asap!”
Walton #3: [unmoving]
Team Lead Kenny: “Sorry, man. This is like your third write-up this month. I’m gonna have to ask for your badge and vest.”
Walton #3: [quivering slightly]
Host: “Whoops! Looks like Walton #3 is fired for gross negligence and insubordination! Stay tuned next week when they load paving stones into their customers’ vehicles during a humid Mississippi heat wave without water breaks!”
Next week:
OH MY GOD! WALTON #3 KILLED TEAM LEAD KENNY!
^You ^Bastard!
I mean… Schitt’s Creek is fictional but it’s definitely entertaining.
Let’s keep it realistic, they get nights off not a whole season.
Love it
Women working in a workplace environment work in workplaces where they work.
Trump has a shark phobia. I’m implying nothing by this.
That’s what someone who’s implying something would say.
Biggest problem is that if it’s run too often we might run out of billionaires. Maybe a spinoff using politicians.
If it’s a world wide show you’d be amazed by the amount of billionaires that are around.
I don’t even know what regular Shark Tank is but I like this idea
Regular shark tank is a bunch of people advertising their businesses and pretending to want investments of the billionaire (?) judges :3
Ah, now that you say it I remember that that’s the English name. In Germany it’s called Höhle der Löwen (lions’ cave)
In the UK it’s called the Dragons’ Den. I mean I would be happy to watch some billionaires being fed to sharks, dragons or lions. Perhaps that could be the surprise element of the show, which species comes out of the gate. Kinda like Cabin In The Woods.
Edit: we could have people standing round the edge of the arena holding home made placards offering advice: ‘Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!’ ‘Go Tim’ ‘We’re all in it together!’.
I would watch all of it. Maybe they could take turns.
And add in some crocodiles.
There’s a few versions out there :3 australia and US both have shark tank, the UK has dragon’s den etc.
My own country has also recently gotten shark tank from what I heard on the radio? Haven’t watched it tho
that would work, too
I’d watch that for a dollar!

All of the regular sharks besides Cuban wouldn’t be eligible to be tossed into the tank.
Ugh, O’Leaey? Laurie?
Hoe about an ocean with sharks, but it’s actually a battlefield with tanks. We could ask Attenborough to do the voice over.
Let the free shark market sort itself out.
