I couldn’t have said it better. I think in all the episodes I’ve watched, actually watched I mean, I’ve seen Barbara make one deal and I can’t even remember it now. I think it was a kid and dog treats no joke. Why is she on the show? She provides no help towards people who want to learn from Shark Tank.

@Forever Changed Pretty sure your a little angry elf. Please calm down. Thank you. Anyone else wanna comment on the matter? I believe forever changed is wrong about this though.

[@petershmurgle8843]

@Forever Changed I also believe Lori serves as a much better investor then Barbara all around anyone disagree? Well shark in the tank. She offers more advice and she runs qvc which pumps products. Meanwhile Barbara does real estate crap which anyone who knows how to steal money legally can get into. Barbara is useless to this show. Look at facts and who offers more input based on stats via Google. Do your due diligence. Next.

Elon is saying Twitter didn't disclose how many bot accounts are on Twitter. Twitter is saying you didn't ask before you committed yourself too late.

Mark was shady at the end. Like he wanted to make an offer but didn’t pull the trigger. I know he doesn’t care what happens because he is worth more than all of them combined maybe even 2x

Why shady, I found he is very patient

Daymond was psyching lorrie out because of the competition and conflict of interests for him. It almost looks cooked; the storyline. Daymond having a similar investment with another company, then saying, “I forbid you lorrie”. A bit over the top, telling the fish, “you are the luckiest...”

Lori will work with him and they'll make some money. That's her approach. Kevin even admitted in an interview that none of the deals he takes end up making money. His attitude is like that of a stock broker, not someone who owns and runs the business.

Quite a few of his deals make money. He said that some don't make money, but that that is part of the game.

@@brianlynch8292 If you watch every episode, you eventually get the sense of which sharks do better at helping these small businesses. When they have the little "updates" segments, the useless sharks usually have no successes to really brag about so they almost have to create a positive spin without focusing on the sales.

Kevin doesn't care about HOW much money he makes but rather the frequency of his money... His royalty deals make less money but they consistently provide him with cash flow... It's why you see him take a smaller equity deal in some cases smallerthan what they asked and they still say no

He was arrogant. Didn’t like how he disregarded Kevin’s offer like he didn’t need one. That’s going to hurt him going forward.

Do not know about Him being arrogant..I noticed a lack of response ..of gratefulness and "Thank you" So many on sharks do talk at the same time..persons nervous ..trying to listen and make a good choice.. This occurred after Kevin's proposal.. His attention was scattered..not fare play
