“Shark Tank” is the type of show you sit down flipping through the channels see it’s on and boom 7 hours later and you’ve been sucked into the “Shark Tank” trap. It’s downright addicting. I love hearing the ideas guessing how much I’d invest in my fictional thousands. I’d contemplate what’s the best percentages that it would be safe for me to invest in these new ideas. Obviously, I’m much more of a shrimp than a shark, but it’s fun to dream! Some of these ideas are phenomenal and will make you cringe that you haven’t thought of something like that.
“Shark Tank” is a super intense show considering these people are sharing their dreams with a group of people who have the power to make them come true. When a shark completely rips someone’s dream out from under them can be hilarious and heartbreaking. Don’t get me started when they make a deal, pure joy! Well, there is a darker side to “Shark Tank” that I need to share with you all. Here are 35 behind the scene secrets about “Shark Tank” that’ll make the tank even scarier!
1.
Every “Shark Tank” contestant is required to meet with an on-set psychologist after filming their segment. “They have to make sure we haven’t scarred them for life,” Mark Cuban says.
2.
Not every deal that gets made on the show actually ends up happening. Any offer a Shark makes while shooting is not considered official. According to Daymond John, about one in five deals fall through after filming.
3.
Sometimes the Sharks will pull out of a deal after learning that the contestant lied about their company’s finances during their pitch.
