      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 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.

The handle design he has looks like shit and flipstik is literally a flat device that doesn't make your phone look bulky in anyway and transforms seamlessly and still doesn't look egregious when it is holding the phone up and instantly sticks to any surface without needing to be hanged up and suspended in anyway.

They go over everything about the company from top to bottom before finalizing the deal. I actually have been learning about this following what's going on with Elon Musk and Twitter. 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. Now back to Shark Tank, before the sharks sign the final contract they want to know absolutely everything and a lot of the time they don't like what they find out.

      He company was way overvalued. He sold $1500 last month multiply that times 12 and you have $18,000 annually in sales and yet laurie is giving giving him $100,000 for 25% of his company..the math doesnt add up. But i do think if he were to take his product to online sales it would increase dramatically

      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

      He chose Lori who eventually backed out on the deal. He should’ve chosen Kevin instead.
