Shark Tank on Friday June 8 brings another summer re-run. The Sharks appearing this week are Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John and Kevin O’Leary. This is Episode number 1 for season three, for those keeping score.
Travis Perry, the popular entrepreneur from L.A. (that’s Lower Alabama) and the Chord Buddy are first up with the easy, teach yourself guitar system. Robert Herjavec jams out with Travis AND invests in the product! Travis is the most popular entrepreneur among his peers, most likely due to his down to earth, likeable, home-spun personality.
Liquid Money is the cologne engineered to smell like cash and shipped in boxes with shredded dollar bills. It comes in two scents: “His Money” and “Her Money.” Entrepreneur Pat McCarthy left the Shark Tank without a deal. The offer from Daymond John at $100K for 80% of the company simply didn’t smell good enough for McCarthy. Even without a deal, Liquid Money is well on its way to $1 million in sales.
Tail Lightz are the accessories for jeans pockets that light up when you walk. Entrepreneur Kyle Raineywas looking for $50K for half of his company. He was going to use the money to develop his prototypes. The Sharks weren’t too impressed, and one by one, they went “out.”
Entrepreneur Megan Cummings brings her scented You Smell Soap into the Shark Tank. Some of the male sharks are impressed by her good looks,and Cummings had Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec battling it out for an investment. She took Robert’s deal, which included a salary. The deal never passed due diligence and was not completed, but Megan has sold a lot of her soap and is happy she doesn’t have Robert as a partner.
The follow up segment features CBS Foods and Chef Big Shake. CBS Foods has had tremendous success since “failing” on Shark Tank. The Original Shrimp Burgers are in grocery stores nationwide and Chef Big Shake told me he was on pace to do $5 million in sales this year. Chef Big Shake told me “Shark Tank changed my life.”

“The deal never past due diligence and was not completed”……..someone needs to proofread your posts. I think you meant “the deal never passed due diligence”.
I thought the You Smell soap was a great idea! Personally I’d like to try the mint lavender, but I’d also go for the lemon! I recently caught on to Shark Tank and I wish I would have seen it sooner. I didn’t have much time to watch any of the prime time shows. I bought a Hopper a few months ago, and I love that I now have the chance to watch more shows like Shark Tank. Since Auto Hop was added to PrimeTime Anytime, I can watch many recordings without having to pick up the remote just to skip the annoying commercials. One of my co-workers at Dish showed me how easy it was to use and it’s very convenient. I’m looking forward to seeing more fire from the Sharks and getting some of that You Smell!
Why don’t CBS, FOX, and NBC exec want consumers to enjoy commercial-free TV? It’s what we want! I’m a customer and employee of Dish, and I think AutoHop is great because you can easily watch commercial-free TV. A well known consumer advocacy group, Public Knowledge, agrees that people should have the right to control how they watch TV. They’re taking a stand for consumers by creating a petition that tells CBS, FOX, and NBC media to keep their hands out of your living room and DVR. Sign their petition to keep control of how you watch TV http://bit.ly/KFdn1Q
