Shark Tank 10-12-12

Look at what my T-Mobile Phone can do! The producers are now planting ads in the pitches? Lame.

I don't blame pillowcasedress mom for going to Daymond. That was a lousy play by Lori while she was trying to think everything over. I think she made the right choice anyway. If you're selling clothes and Daymond gives you an offer, you should take it.

How do things like cold rubbery caffeinated waffles ever get to this point? I mean that one wasn't even funny bad, it was just bad.

 

I know! I noticed that and rolled my eyes.
Felt just as forced too as the lame way they cram ads for Skype or Subway into an episode of Pawn Stars. Completely lame.

Man, I really wanted the pillowcase lady to pit them against each other. Argh. Just politely say, "Well, you both have unique positive qualities to bring to the table, so the first one of you who is willing to take 25% equity and not 30%, I'll go with you." Then see if you get a bite, but do it nicely so you don't kill off one of the potential sharks.

That waffle idea was dumb. I eat these incredible candies called Shock-A-Lots that are essentially chocolate-covered coffee beans where a small bag is the equivalent of two cups of coffee. Better idea. Or, if you want a breakfast thing, make it a danish or something. A waffle? Who wants to heat up something, etc.

I think Lori got scammed on that spray vitamin deal. Mark Cuban was dead-on right sniffing out a scam in my book. And a buyback option for them if it really takes off? Stuuuuuupid.

Yeah, you can read a bit more in this article:

Passing Up the Opportunity to Appear on ‘Shark Tank’

I think she said in the hall that she was leaning toward Lori's offer until her threat to pull the offer made her go with Daymon.

 

Does anyone else feel like cheering whenever the opening credits show that Lori Greiner will be one of the Sharks, and hence no Barbara Corcoran?

More and more, I find Barbara to be nasty and condescending to more than her share of entrepreneurs, whereas Lori comes across as a genuinely decent person.

 

That t-mobile product placement was so blatant and disgusting.

Glad she went with Damon and not Lori.. she's playing too many games. Screw her.

 

I wish we'd see someone other than "Mr Wonderful" now and then. While I think he adds to the show, he can be over the top and a "Wonderful-break" occasionally would be welcome.

 

I like Barbara. She is a better fit for those products that need more help getting off the ground. Barbara would probably take a chance on the lady that had the specially-made spatulas.

 

Yes, that would be good.

Oh, god, NFW! He's not a shark... he's an arrogant tool that started one business which he admits he didn't ever want to be a "business". He's not interested in starting other business, nor does have any entrepreneurial experience except for ONE business he stated in college. Entrepreneurship requires a significant amount of risk taking AND failure... Zuck has neither.

Just because he has a lot of money does not make him a shark.

 

Wait, what? Uhh....I wouldn't.
Zuckerberg is a d-bag and his personality is terrible for TV.

I think a perfect guy for the show would be someone like Steve Wozniak.
Not only would he have $$$ and brains, he has a great personality and judging by his size he might have been the perfect match for a business like the online ice cream company on the last show.

P.S. If Mark Burnett were to ever get Trump to join the show since they both do The Apprentice, I'll instantly say "I'm out" from future episodes of Shark Tank.

 

+1000!

+10000000000000000!

 

Zuckerberg is not a VC though, like the other ones are. He's just a tool.

Did they put something in the Shark's coffee this week? They all seemed extra snippy with one another...

 

It was the waffles!

 

And the energy spray.

 

I recently saw something like that spatula on the news. It was one of those segments where they showcase new items. I can't remember the name, but it was in two sizes, and available in at least one store. But, which one I don't know.
