kellybailey-23521 Dennis O'Leary is not 5'91/2". He was very close to me at an event and I am 5'4" and was wearing 3" heels. He was barely my height. Why lie, O'Leary?I mean Kevin, not Dennis *hiccaauuooup*

Mike Lyno First let me say I like the show and watch it. It's entertaining and I like all the Shark Tank investors (yes even Kevin, Lorrie is actually my least favorite, she seems the most fake of the bunch). I've watched it a long time and there lies the problem. The more I've watched it, the more I've come to realize that I just have a hard time believing all the outcomes. Some of this stuff that is invested in just leaves me baffled on "why". I think a lot of it is staged. About the only thing that would convince me otherwise is if they also showed the failures of investments. All they show are successes which leaves me to conclude Hollywood is calling the shots. Probably would make good episodes just to focus on the outcomes and the stories of what the Shark Tank investors really went through in their experiences, including the ones that didn't work out.

DKosty123 The title of this show is exactly accurate. When anyone brings an original idea to this show, they are being fed to the sharks. That is because these sharks did not get here by being nice people. They make money the old fashioned way, by being ruthless competitors who are here to evaluate ways they can make money from the fish being fed to them.Do they accomplish this? Yes, in spades. They ask pointed questions which are in line with their best interests. Their questions are totally grounded on the principles of how can they make money from the visitors idea.This show is a public service. It shows you how ruthless business people operate. No disclaimers are needed here. This is it. Nobody who comes into this should expect any sympathy from the panel, they are truly sharks. When they make a deal, they have stripped the victim to the bone.

Todd Short I used to like this show, I really did. However the incredible arrogance shown by the sharks is sometimes just hard to watch. I realize that the arrogance goes with the territory of who they are and some of it can be expected but it just gets to be too much. I just watched an episode with a salesman whom ALL of the sharks believed had a good idea and the guy was great. Mark decided he didn't want to make the deal only for the fact that the salesman didn't jump at his offer immediately. He then goes on to scold the man for not "closing" the deal as a salesman should and of course said no. This happens often on the show. They claim that its not personal and its only business, however, when the sharks feel slighted or the people don't jump on their offers immediately, they scold and berate their "selling" abilities. It has gotten more and more hypocritical and for that reason alone, I'm not watching anymore. It's just my personal opinion and I'm sure many others feel differently, but I felt deeply enough about it to write this.
