They're back! Love 'em or hate 'em I can't get enough! Barbara Corcoran, Real Estate Mogul, Daymond John "The Godfather of Urban Fashion", Kevin Harrington "The Original Infomercial King", Kevin O'Leary, self proclaimed "Eco-Preneur" (aka Mean Kevin), and Robert Herjavec, Technology Wiz, are circling and ready to bite - hungry for the next big thing.As I watch the entrepreneurs take the precarious walk down what seems like a very long hallway, through the estate-sized double doors and into shark infested waters...um, I mean the big conference room aptly named the "Shark Tank" - I hold my breath for a moment. You can cut the tension with a knife and, of course, through the magic of television, and just the right amount of daunting music, I am sucked in. My fellow inventor friends and other fans of the show are all aTwitter, and sometimes we are even chatting with the entrepreneurs being featured. We root for them and wonder which of the Sharks will bite - do they have a winner or will they be reduced to mere chum by Kevin O'Leary channeling his inner Simon Cowell (I just have to believe he's a teddy bear behind the scenes)?
I don't know about you, but there are several entrepreneurs who I would love to see a follow-up on - a "Where Are They Now" segment of the show. I posted the topic on the ST message boards http://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank/discuss?cat=276719&tsn=-1 and hope the powers that be will take notice.
How about you? Who are the three entreprenuers you would most like to see a follow-up on?
I just can't wait for the season to start back up again! Besides Pitchmen, there aren't any other shows like this... we. need. more! :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously hope they do a few reviews/looking back at some they turned down (to see how they're doing) and their most successful "yes's".
Thanks Karen! I agree - now please tell us a few of your favorite entrepreneurs from Season 1!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a status update of Leslie of Grill Charms and the Pork Barrel BBQ guys. It's so wonderful to hear that Season 2 WILL take place for Shark Tank! One of my fav to watch and hoping to be on it as well!
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear whats going on with Marix Stone, the founder of Hells Bells Helmets. I know they had their issues but i would love to see him on it again. Such a cool idea and he had it patented. Very very good business just needs the right person to push it.found this link about it also. http://sharktanktvshow.com/384/hells-bells-helmets-mari/
ReplyDeleteThanks James! Yes, weren't those helmets fab?! Um, I mean super SICK :) I had forgotten about him! There are some really great stories out there - Of course I would love to see where Leslie Haywood is now and I just had the pleasure of interviewing her with Angle Bush on Your15Minutes Radio on BlogTalkRadio last Thurs. (Player above if anyone's interested). I will check out the link!
ReplyDeleteThanks again James - a man of your word :)
First I love Shark Tank and am very glad ABC brought it back! I would like to see Leslie Haywood with GRILL CHARMS, Sawyer Sparks with SOY-YER-DOUGH and also want to see what has happened to Marian Cruz with TURBOBASTER.Those are top 3 but also would love up-dates on all the ones that got Shark deals! And even deals that may have fallen apart after the show. Always something to learn from Shark Tank. @fannyseat
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post Becky! Those are definitely three greats!
ReplyDeletewould love to see a follow-up of those crazy sisters who have the ball business in Chicago. They were awesome.
ReplyDeleteYes! Send-A-Ball was very unique!
