Oh here's the rundown : Shark Tank is an American reality competition series that premiered August 9, 2009, on ABC. The show features aspiring entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of potential investors. Shark Tank is produced by Mark Burnett and based on the TV show Dragon's Den. The show features a panel of potential investors, called "sharks", who consider offers from aspiring entrepreneurs seeking investments for their business or product. The entrepreneur can make a deal on the show if a panel member is interested. However, if all of the panel members opt out, the entrepreneur leaves empty handed. The show is said to portray "the drama of pitch meetings and the interaction between the entrepreneurs and tycoons." A one hour pitch by a contestant is edited down to "a dramatic 10 minute segment". The show is said to personalize "the desperation and pain experienced by victims of a broken down economy". The "sharks" often find weaknesses and faults in an entrepreneur's concept, product, or business model. Some of the investors try to soften the impact of rejection, like panel member Corcoran, while others such as O'Leary can be "brutal" and show "no patience even for tales of hardship". Many deals made on the show are never enacted due to the investor's vetting process following the deal, which includes product testing and the examination of the contestants' personal and business financials. The show initially required each contestant to sign an agreement with Finnmax, the producer of Shark Tank, promising Finnmax the option of taking a "2 percent royalty" or "5% equity stake" in the contestant's business venture. However, in October 2013, this requirement was repealed by the network, retroactively, due to pressure from panel member Mark Cuban. History Main article: List of Shark Tank episodes Shark Tank premiered in August 2009 and aired 14 episodes through January 2010. In August, it was renewed for a 2nd season. Season 2 premiered with a "sneak peek" episode on Sunday, March 20, 2011, before resuming its regular Friday night time slot on March 25, 2011. Season 2 had 9 episodes, 5 of them featuring new panel members. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy and Mark Cuban replaced panel member Kevin Harrington for 3 episodes. Kevin O'Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John and Robert Herjavec appeared in all 14 episodes. In Season 2, Kevin O'Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, and Robert Herjavec appeared in all 9 episodes; Mark Cuban appeared in 3, Kevin Harrington in 4, and Jeff Foxworthy in 2. Shark Tank's 3rd season premiered in January 2012. During the second season, Kevin Harrington was replaced by Mark Cuban, while in the third season, the "queen of QVC" Lori Greiner replaced Barbara Corcoran on 4 episodes. Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John, Robert Herjavec, and Mark Cuban appeared in all 15 episodes of season three. In February, ABC ordered two additional episodes for Season 3 using un-aired footage, which brought the season's episode total to 15. In May 2012, Shark Tank was renewed for a fourth season. According to TV Guide, as of December 2012 the show's panel members had invested $12.4 million in the business opportunities presented to them during that season and those whose business ideas did not result in an investment from the sharks still benefited from the publicity generated by that contestant appearing on the Shark Tank show. During the show's 2012 season, 36,076 people applied to become contestants. In 2013, ABC renewed the show for a fifth season, and added Steve Tisch and John Paul DeJoria as panel members. In 2013, CNBC licensed exclusive off-network cable rights for the series from ABC. In May 2014, ABC announced a sixth season starting in September 2014. The series began its syndication run on CNBC on December 30, 2013. C That's how it goes Monalisa  |

Love this show Lady C, but so true, some of the panel members can be 'brutal' and all of my favorite moments is when the aspiring entrepreneurs that get get harsh reviews tell them they are wrong, and that their opinion won't discourage them one bit, LOVE THAT!

Have any of you supported any of the businesses from Shark Tank. My girlfriend ordered a Daisy Cake and said it was delicious. I ordered an item called Screen Patch. They are for when your window screen gets a hole and you don't want to take the screen out to have it repaired. The patches work like a miracle. A very innovative item.
