Anybody else watching "Undercover Billionaire"?

Just curious if anyone else was watching. Kinda interesting seeing him get a BBQ business up and rolling. Not sure how I feel about them firing up a brand new smoker for the first time at a rib competition, but we will see.

yeah now that I spent some time on this forum I am thinking it is just another coached reality show....they are 2 weeks away from the end, have not drummed up a penny in business and somehow it is supposed to be "valued" at a $1,000,000 business in the end????????

I'm watching... I like it.... The struggles having to build a new business is enlightening... The dealings with different individuals is a valuable learning tool...
No matter what happens, I guess he's going to add a million dollars to the business if he fails so those that stick with him will have a business to run.... Quite the windfall for those that share his challenge...
Looks like the "pitmaster" has a problem... We'll see next week...
I sure hope the BBQ is good... Should be if they get it cooked...

I think it's a great concept... Locally brewed beer in every location... Their own brand of beer in each location... It "could" be a winner... we will see....

It will never be the same as a real entrepreneur starting their own business.
Knowing in the back of your mind that if it fails your still a billionaire. The real entrepreneur opening a new business is scared everyday.

That's exactly my thoughts on it.

and what is the story they told all the employees who are working for free? Cameras always following them? I have not been diligent about watching every episode so not sure how they played that.

I believe they told them they were shooting a documentary about starting a business from nothing. Kinda true.

I liked the ending... I like how he treated the "partners"...
All in all it was a pretty good show.... Much better than most of the krap on the tube...

Nope.
