Shark Tank US | Can Pizza Pack Wow The Sharks In Front Of A Live Audience?

[@Enigmaticlaw7465]

Having a live audience makes shark tank feel like an infomercial. It also fundamentally changes the negotiations when sharks are trying to out negotiate each other.

[@jayreaction]

REMOVE THE LIVE AUDIENCE ! I HATE THE SHOW WITH THE AUDIENCE

[@danduran4981]

Agree

[@Rubaduck]

Lol kevin and Lori right at home its so easy for them haha

[@SmokeDog1871]

You can tell the sharks are all trying to be turned on for the audience too instead of just being their usual selves. Whole thing lacks the authenticity that makes the real show so great

[@arisethrive2862]

AUDIENCE TAKES AWAY the classiness this show had😮

[@music4liferecords1]

100%

[@chrisj940]

Yea sounds like Jerry

[@mism2897]

Classiness? Have you seen season 1??

[@rivegaucheranch]

Agree. My sentiments written above.

[@patee5aa]

Having a live audience for shark tank is a horrible idea! Please undo that!

[@ridhwankazi9503]

ye

[@MikeStrongman]

It really sucks.

[@davidn.2555]

It was just a test run, relax

[@christophermills1733]

[@natalycorona8340]

I thought I was the only one who didn’t like it

[@namishbaranwal3522]

I hadn't ever thought even Shark Tank could be ruined; but here we are

[@BananaMan-yn8vl]

Lol anything is possible 😂

[@walte153]

I'm guessing they are trying to get Maury Povich's audience. "Kevin... you are NOT the Shark!"

[@samuelpancake4084]

Sounds like a bunch of hillbillies with blown horns . Kinda like a NASCAR race

[@moniehookemomolu2845]

Haven't seen Lori this happy for a deal since Scrub Daddy. But the whole audience idea is a terrible distraction which destroys the realism of the show.

[@Nonegiven14582]

It's an entertainment show There is no realism In the real world these people don't get over the front door in that t shirt

[@CreativeMind-ux1ob]

Right, but I really loved this entrepreneur, his pitch and the product. Lori made a great deal and seized it too.

[@Daallaall]

It’s the audience effect

[@boohere2]

Random question, but when did Shark Tank start having a live audience??

[@leir2005]

Scrub Daddy was one of her most successful deals. This guy has a winning invention for sure. A way to store leftover pizza without taking up so much fridge space. I can see one in every household and I’m sure Lori can too. This is worth soooooo much more than $1.5 million and Mark knew it too. He was trying to buy it on the cheap

[@funnntimz]

i am amazed that everybody including myself think the live audience concept is pathetic.

[@benm3382]

I've never seen so much unity

[@AnimalA-Z]

I think I speak for everyone when I say if there is one show that could do without a live audience, this is it 😊 it’s a terrible idea!

[@berns1853]

i quited after 3 minutes

[@makdaf1rst]

agreed, it feels like an infomercial lol

[@CreativeMind-ux1ob]

Yeah that's right. but whats bothering me the most is at this point few sharks just want to sabotage Lori's deal, the moment they see that Lori can make a great hit with the hero product and an entrepreneur they just come in and make weird offer.

[@sophiaeiss]

For real. It’s too much for a live audience to be there. People are already overwhelmed pitching the sharks

[@TheCyberadam26]

I agree 100%. Felt like I was watching something along the lines of an infomercial and produced by WWF. So phony. 🙄

[@onikuman]

I gotta say Kevin played the audience well. ROYALTY ROYALTY lol

[@alfredosayon]

This is chaotic guys!!! An audience wasn’t the best option. Like the sharks seem more nervous, lots of yelling, awkward interruptions and too nice now compared to previous seasons.

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

I hate this so much.

[@PuppetsByPalmieri]

The live audience makes it feel like a daytime talk show and hearing the sharks strain their voices trying to talk over them is awkward. Seeing Phil Crowley do the live announcements is the best. Keep him around!

[@torirobb5886]

Having a live audience on the show shark tank is a comedy. Its not serious.

[@richardcalisi9188]

Stupidest thing I've ever seen !!!

[@jamesr1703]

Yeah, and TOTALLY discriminatory. Not one single man or white person in the audience! What's up with that?

[@Rascaito]

It has become like a bad parody version of a sitcom

[@PinoyVisuals]

agree, this is suppose to be intense

[@gorillashop337]

You must've missed the clowns and bearded lady.

Yeah.. his math isnt mathing 😂 what a dumb answer

[@plouffe.]

We have a live audience now?! God no 😭

[@coop0812]

​​​​@@neildeepThey only did it for one episode in the newest season and stopped. You realize an episode of shark tank usually has 4 different pitches right? That's why there's a few different live pitches on youtube because they upload each pitch individually. Smh.

[@robloxianweeb4643]

​@@coop0812the point is we don't want them to do another is something wrong with disliking an episode

[@coop0812]

@@robloxianweeb4643 I know. I quite literally said they did it for one episode and stopped. Given how poorly it was received, they probably wont try it again.

[@samuelpancake4084]

​@Tonysopranoyafinookcus it makes this show stupid .. this isn't a "game show"

[@A__Singh__]

The Live Audience takes the seriousness and the edge of everything. Even the Sharks are finding a hard time to ask the right questions and really size up the business, person and product. Maybe this idea needs a bit of time. But with the Audience there, I'm sure the Entrepreneurs are going to make bad deals. Sharks are going to make deals just to please the crowd, then drop out of it later.

[@NealKennedyOfficial]

The live audience turned the Shark Tank into Maury 😂

[@BananaMan-yn8vl]

Hahah yes

[@n4redd3000]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@thomasgibson5591]

or a over dramatized game show

[@pishyp]

Another think to point out, having live audience makes this show look like a game show. The audience can easily make the sharks make unwise decisions and make deals that actually they wouldn't have made if the audience wasn't there cz they're somehow a destruction 😭😭 *GET RID OF THE AUDIENCE PLEASE*

[@BananaMan-yn8vl]

I hate it

[@pauldavis5665]

@Tonysopranoyafinook The comments I see are people just calmly stating their opinion that they don't like the live audience. Where are these "meltdowns" you speak of?

[@PlantBoy]

RIP shark tank. The live audience has gotta go.

[@SreeHariKrishnan4u]

Relax guys! The live audience format is only for this one episode (Season 14, Episode 1), so the rest of the season is the usual Shark Tank we all know and love.

[@stevencurrall6944]

Their behavior is completely different with an audience. It feels so fake and like they're performing

[@colbyduggan5733]

the live audience has a impact on the negotiation in a lot of ways i think its better and a lot more personal when its just the sharks. They already have enough pressure and adding a live audience just compounds that.

[@mrhumble2937]

The live audience benefits the seller crazy. Sharks just want to make a deal.

[@ganhubbs5617]

Tbh I don’t think the sharks gaf what anyone thinks but it’s way easier for the entrepreneur to catch sympathy. It goes from one of the most actually real serious shows to just a joke.

[@nikhilbehere9661]

@@ganhubbs5617that’s not true they went to the audience to ask questions so many times

[@ganhubbs5617]

@@nikhilbehere9661 I agree with them asking for input on the product but them offering and not offering has nothing to do with what the crowd thinks. They could care less. If they don’t like it they ain’t gettin money.

[@BiragovDetailing]

5 million is actually very fair request. This company in 5 years will have more than 5 million in sales and seeing the margins it’s fantastic!

[@ParissaKhoury]

5 million in sales doesn't mean 5 million in profits

[@hervebjoseph]

Lol no its not fair. What would be fair is asking 1.5M and 1$/item in perpetuity

[@BiragovDetailing]

@@hervebjoseph I would never sell this business for $1.5M. The opportunities is far more than that because there is nothing like this on the market. That is why most sharks jumped in and Mark even offered to buy the entire company. Of course he would play with numbers but he knows where it’s going to be in few years

[@hervebjoseph]

@@BiragovDetailing that dude did NOT look like he knew how to run a business. Even now seems like the company is valued at 1M...🤷🏾‍♂️

Its not that unique, really. The only thing different is it being slice shaped, and the dividers. The multiple tier expansion storage container thing is fairly common. @@BiragovDetailing

The narrator sitting up there is one of the most wholesome things that happened on Shark Tank

[@jamesr1703]

He's the announcer.

[@aaliyahrandom]

I wish we could get rid of the live audience and keep the narrator lol it is so wholesome

[@semivibes2515]

I think Kevin convinced Shark Tank to add the live audience just so he could have an entourage chanting “Royalty! Royalty!”

[@danzane5973]

Sharks seem awkwardly nervous with the audience

[@KantzKy]

ikr why would they accept that

[@pishyp]

Even for 5M that would have still been cheap to sell it to Mark coz he can make more than that with any of the sharks and still maintain a percentage of the company. I love that he took Lori's deal 😊

[@otisgt]

Yeah but it would take years for that to happen. The value in marks offer is that he could take the money and work on different inventions during the same timeframe. So by the time this company would’ve been worth $5M he may have developed other companies and retained full ownership

[@thankque8441]

His company can make 5m or can he make that? Company Revenue and liquid cash are two different things.

[@abmtrap7769]

[@Ithishaam]

It’s more raw with a live show makes it more awkward sure but I think the entrepreneurs have a better chance when the sharks are thinking in the moment subconsciously impressing the crowd

[@wolves600]

but they dont really have a better chance since the sharks can still back out of a deal after the episode is done

I love shark tank. What gets me is how many people I talk to that love shark tank and still don't have a diverse portfolio just one thing job income. What happens if something goes wrong. I remember my business ethics professor at Harvard told us never have all your eggs in one basket cause eventually that basket of eggs will Crack. He was a professor plus had several business ventures. He had lots of stock too. Every thursday he would show us companies he invested in, ,stocks he bought you name it and why. He changed my life! Question students asked was how was he able to juggle so much,he Said leveraging others.

[@brianfrancishume]

I’m curious to know two things: (1) how long it has been since you took that course at Harvard; and (2) how diversified is your portfolio in terms of income streams? Obviously it takes time to build up enough capital to jumpstart a new revenue stream. All the best to you.
