      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.

      @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.

    Seeing him deflated in the thumbnail then hearing his rap put it all in a nutshell. I like the product though.

    I do not carry a phone everywhere. When I do need it is frustrating not to be able to use it hands free whether home, car or office. Love this product-most versatile I've seen. Wish I'd had it years ago!

    He was arrogant. Didn’t like how he disregarded Kevin’s offer like he didn’t need one. That’s going to hurt him going forward.

      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

      The deal didn’t push through with Lori based on many comments here, but the black guy is doing well with his business.
