Most Shark Tank participants are on their best behavior. Some feel they know more than the millionaires who are there to invest in the companies, and those people usually go home with no deal. However, one person came on the show and really angered Lori Greiner because of how he treated her during his presentation.

Here is what happened and why Lori was offended by the entire situation.

Lori Greiner Calls Out Shark Tank Contestant As Sexist

A man was on Shark Tank promoting a product called Ezc Pak. This was a five-day immune support pack of echinacea, zinc, and vitamin C. The entire idea had Lori Grenier interested and possibly investing in the product. However, the man refused to answer her questions or even look at her during the presentation.

This caused Lori to feel he was dismissing her in favor of her male co-panelists. Lori started...

The popular TV show Shark Tank has seen a myriad of innovative products and passionate entrepreneurs vying for investment, and one of those was Scrubbie. The series is a renowned platform where entrepreneurs follow strict Shark Tank rules and pitch their innovative products to a panel of wealthy investors. This opportunity can lead to transformative business deals or, sometimes, harsh rejections. The show has become a staple for showcasing entrepreneurial spirit and inventive ideas, providing viewers with a front-row seat to high-stakes negotiations and the dynamics of business growth.

One such product that made its way to the Shark Tank stage was The Scrubbie, an inventive cleaning tool designed by Jeff Dakin, Tyler Kessler, and Matt Hosey. With a vision to enhance everyday cleaning tasks, the team hoped to secure an investment to propel their product into the market. Despite their evident passion, they didn't deliver the best Shark Tank pitch,...

Your browser does not support the video tag. Numerous companies were offered over $1 million on Shark Tank. Larq water bottles is one of the most successful deals in Shark Tank history. The largest deal in Shark Tank history proved to be a big mistake for Kevin O'Leary.

Making it on Shark Tank can mean everything for an entrepreneur and their burgeoning business. Even when every Shark turns down a deal, or they're even called "a scam", the exposure can lift a product and make it profitable. But that's not to say that being on the Mark Burnett ABC show is akin to wearing a bulletproof best. Even the show's most expensive deal crashed and burned.

In addition, the biggest deals in Shark Tank's history have not necessarily resulted in the most profitable businesses. For example, the richest contestant on Shark Tank appears to be the Bombas founder. But they only...

Business owner Sean Adler wowed the sharks with his Nana Hats banana stem caps to extend freshness. Adler made a deal with Peter Jones and Lori Grenier for $150,000 and 20% of the compnay. The "Shark Tank effect" boosted Nana Hats' exposure, with investment opportunities and media appearances.

Nana Hats is one of the strangest companies to come through the Shark Tank, leaving a big question mark if things worked out after the episode. Shark Tank, the acclaimed reality series based around pitching business ideas and inventions to a regular panel of sharks who are leaders in their respective industries, entered its 14th season in September 2022. Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Lori Greiner, Kevin O'Leary, Robert Herjavec, and Barbara Corcoran returned to their posts alongside some guest sharks like Peter Jones, Daniel Lubetzky, Tony Xu, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Plenty of successful products have come through Shark Tank and, many times, a product that...

Despite other offers, Cam MacKugler chose to partner with Lori due to her experience in the home and garden industry. Seedsheet's appearance on Shark Tank led to a massive deal with Lori Grenier for $500,000 for 20% of the company. After the Shark Tank effect, Seedsheet experienced millions in sales post 2020 due to promotions on QVC and the Covid-19 pandemic.

When Cam MacKugler of Middlebury, Vermont came on Shark Tank with a seedsheet sample for the sharks, he managed to get himself and his company a massive deal. Shark Tank, the American adaptation of the Japanese business reality series Dragons' Den, is an interesting twist on the gameshow formula because to "win" money on the show, contestants need to prove they already have the capacity to make a lot of money, and will work even harder after scoring a deal. With Shark Tank's cast of series regulars, all hugely successful businesspeople,...

The creators of the Roboburger Burger Vending Machines are coming to Shark Tank tonight. The brand-new episode of the ABC reality show sees several new products, but this one is a biggie that is offered up to people who want to house their own vending machine for others to purchase items from.

Here is everything you need to know about the Roboburger Burger Vending Machines on Shark Tank and where you can go if you want to buy one for yourself.

What Is The Roboburger Burger Vending Machines On Shark Tank?

The Roboburger Burger Vending Machines is not something totally unique from Shark Tank. Earlier this season, the Bleni Blends Vending Machines creators showed up and offered a vending machine that makes smoothies. In that case, Lori Grenier and Daniel Lubetzky financed the deal. Will the new machine get a deal as well?

The Roboburger Burger Vending Machines has three creators behind it — Dan Braido,...

After 14 seasons, over a thousand products have passed through NBC’s investing reality show Shark Tank. The sharks — typically Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Lori Grenier, Barbara Corcoran, Kevin O’Leary, and Robert Herjavec — have been pitched seemingly every type of product from food to clothing to dating apps to liquified llama manure.

And, although many of these products were whimsical at best, some were actual innovations that went on to generate millions in sales.

“Sharks” Daymond John and Lori Grenier joined executive producers Clay Newbill and Yun Lingner as part of Sony Pictures Television’s Shark Tank panel at Deadline’s Contenders Television: The Nominees award-season event. Nominated this year for three Emmys — Structured Reality Program, Host, and Casting for a Reality Program — the show, consistently a Friday night ratings winner for ABC through 12 seasons, won the Emmy in the Structured Reality category in four consecutive seasons from 2014-2017.

This past season has been one of its most challenging as it had to be produced during the pandemic, but also one of its most important as it has served as something of a godsend for many small-business entrepreneurs during some unprecedented hard times.

“It was an incredible season for us, Season 12,” Newbill said. “You know, it was in the height of the pandemic and we felt it was important to get Shark Tank back...

Currently in its tenth season, ABC reality show Shark Tank has spent years captivating audiences eager to watch aspiring entrepreneurs both make their dreams come true and also get torn to shreds by the panel. The current rotating selection of successful businessmen and women that make or break these aspiring millionaires consists of Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Lori Grenier, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John, and Barbara Corcoran, in addition to celebrity guest investors like Ashton Kutcher, Jeff Foxworthy, Alex Rodriguez, Richard Branson, Bethenny Frankel, and Charles Barkley.

There's no denying that Shark Tank has led to considerable success for a lucky few, some that have gone on to have billion-dollar businesses and whose success has long since eclipsed that of simply being something you'd see in an "As Seen On Shark Tank" end cap at Target or Bed Bath and Beyond for a couple of weeks. And while viewers love to see such success stories,...

Gotham showrunner John Stephen said at the TCA summer press tour that during Season 3, “The cult of the Joker, which we started at the beginning of [Season 2],” upon Jerome’s seeming death, “is going to extend and deepen and change a little bit this year, where you have these sort of underground movements that...
