Shark Tank

Love my grandkids — Sat, 19 Mar 2022 17:49:11 GMT

I so enjoy this show and have watched every episode since Day 1. Is it my perception or has Barbara Corcoran gotten snarkier and kind of meaner in the last 2 seasons? Other sharks are able to say something negative or delcine to make a deal without the nasty comments she often makes.

As I said, maybe it's just my perception.

@fthunt Yes she is.

Now that she's no longer part of the Q, how does she plan on promoting the products that she's investing in? Her spiel used to always be that she would get them rich by getting on the Q.

Yes, I think she's getting snarkier and even cruel at this point. She also acts inappropriately with the male presenters at times that wouldn't fly if the male sharks were acting that way towards the female contestants. It's just gross.

Barbara has always been my favorite shark, and I wonder if her more caustic personality isn't meant to try and carve out more of an identity for her on the show.

I have noticed (with regret!) that as they rotate the cast and increasingly insert guest sharks into the lineup, that Barbara seems to be the one who is left off the panel most often. (on second thought, Damon is also MIA alot, too!) I don't know if it is because of their own personal schedules or if it is a move by the producers.

I would like to see Barbara more often and as the more human, relatable shark she used to be. I also think she has a wonderful plastic surgeon and was looking fantastic up until a year ago. She seems to be over reaching with evermore work being done. Please stop,Barbara!

I agree. In the past, I admired her for her business acumen when she presented on business shows. But, now, on Shark Tank, she is nasty and bitter. It seems like Lori can't believe what she is hearing!

@781Florist I don't think that Barbara is not asked to return more often, but that her schedule and Daimon's schedule are very busy and doesn't allow them to be there more often. Or perhaps they have so many business going that they feel they couldn't give their full attention to helping out yet another entrepreneur.

That's the way I have always looked at it. I could be wrong.

@San Antonio Gal By no means is the Q Lori's only iron in the fire. She has a huge range of distributors and businesses. You can do an internet search for more info. She is no one trick pony.

I used to like Barbara, admire her etc. But after her public, fat-phobic comments, and her blatant over-the-line sexual actions and commentary (which, if ANY of the men acted that way, they'd be fired) she can kick rocks, leave the show and I won't miss her.

I love Shark Tank.

I don't think she is any meaner. I think she is blunt and just says what she means. At least she doesn't beat around the bush. I really don't like Lori -- never have. I think she is obnoxious. I like Kevin. He can be pretty harsh but he's another one who just tells it like it is.

@AngelPuppy1 - I'm also not a fan of Lori G.

She is okay but only takes on companies that interests her and her personal life, kind of bias. My shark favs are Mark and Mr Wonderful. I also like Damon and a couple of their guest sharks. Lori needs a makeover, she needs a stylist in a big way. I am a fan of the tank, watching since day one.

I am also a fan of Shark Tank since day one. I have learned a lot too and brought some of the products.

I like them all but Lori G, I use to buy the scrub daddy which I must admit was very good in the beginning, but eventually turned to trash when it started to break apart. That was my first and last product from LG.
