I never watched it for years and now that there is nothing else on TV worth watching these day I find that I'm watching this show more and more. I don't think the show is "rigged" as you say. You can go online and see these businesses. I think a lot of these deals don't actually go through though because once they really start digging into there business they find things that just don't jive and they back out. Much like The Profit show, where the people are so far in debt or don't really care about the business or they don't like being in charge....blah, blah, blah that the deal falls apart long after the show has aired.
