When Steven Bartlett said that Sara Davies is the “most qualified” Dragon, Deborah Meaden fired back on tonight’s programme.
The three investors listened to business proposals with Dragons’ Den regulars Peter Jones and Touker Suleyman.
David Hawcock is one inventor who offered his wares for sale; they are games with a paper-craft spin.
Before hearing David’s pitch, Steven said, “It’s got Sara Davies written all over it.”
The inventor’s pop-up chess-set and ideas for other paper pop-up games caught the attention of many of the Dragons, despite his anxieties almost getting in the way of the pitch.
Sara was the first to remark, “It’s really impressive,” before Peter chimed in, “I’m genuinely blown away,” in reference to the “excellent” design.
Peter made the initial offer, and Touker quickly followed suit, but David remained silent, waiting for the other Dragons to make theirs.
Almost immediately, Deborah made an offer, and Sara gushed about David’s “amazing” abilities and business.
When Steven finally spoke out, after Deborah had already rejected four offers, he seemed to disappoint her.
‘I’m going to say that I’m out, but I will say, which will annoy some of my fellow Dragons, I don’t think you should be giving away your profession, I think you have enough in that box as a standalone proposition.’
‘That doesn’t annoy us,’ Peter replied, before telling Steven: ‘I’m not surprised that you’re out, you couldn’t have done anything with this business,’ with Touker nodding in agreement.
Steven continued: ‘I think Sara’s offers great, she’s the most qualified’.
‘She’s not the most qualified Steven’. Deborah quickly hit back.
However, Steven didn’t manage to sway David’s decision, as he eventually went for a negotiated offer between Peter and Touker.
‘David, you broke my heart,’ Sara later commented. ‘I was the only person who understood and appreciated your business.’
Dragons’ Den airs on Thursdays at 8pm on BBC One.
