I have had this discussion with my colleagues and have received a lot of negative feedback. Though I agree with a lot of what has been said, I am inclined to think the programmes at least offer valuable advice to those taking part. Take, for example, our newest Expert in inafishbowl.com, Claire Young (http://www.inafishbowl.com/claire-young.html). She was a finalist in the 2008 Apprentice, and is now running her own business and offers some really good advice to our Fishbowl businesses.
Further to this, we have Ben Way (http://www.inafishbowl.com/ben-way.html) of Secret Millionaire and Rachel Elnaugh (http://www.inafishbowl.com/rachel-elnaugh.html) of Dragons' Den, both of whom offer some really valuable suggestions, as well as Imran Hakim (http://www.inafishbowl.com/imran-hakim.html)who featured in Dragons' Den pitching his idea "iTeddy".
Is it possible, then, that these programmes, at the very least, give budding entrepreneurs opportunities to go further?
