If the producers of this show are reading this, might we suggest some changes to the format?
1. Please stop showing the segment where the participants act like they are walking into the space for the first time and are somehow soooo happy to be there. It's obvious that they are using the same space with two sections. The start of the show is in one section and the restaurant space is RIGHT next to it. For anyone who's watched the show for more than 2 episodes it just gives the show a really cheesy feeling.
2. Maybe they can switch up investors from week to week. At this point, we can pretty much predict what either Joe or Tim will say and do. Since they are not professional actors there are only so many expressions that they can have. Tim either looks clueless or constipated. Joe goes from mildly conceited to extremely self-congratulatory. He always comes across like "You're Stupid! Now let me tell you why." It's really starting to get a little bit repetitive.
3. This show had a great initial premise which is Restaurant Startups which a lot of people are interested in. Shark Tank is interesting because the investors are investing in a combination of the people, product and market size. When they invest you can understand why, when they don't it's also for good obvious reasons. On this show the reasonings seem so petty sometimes. Example 1: Tim & Joe don't like the logo, but the owner doesn't want to change because they are attached to it, there's no back and forth, only "That guy is stubborn. He won't listen. I can't invest" Example 2: I don't care that you've only got 36 hours to prep (generally all by yourself and that it's an all new set-up where they furniture and fixtures just got brought in in the morning) the food was slow coming out and you have no cutlery on the table. OMG! What idiots!
4. Lastly, sometimes instead of focusing on some minute details that the participants are doing maybe they could add a few informative segments such as, statistics on the size of the market for hamburgers or lollipops, maybe have the interior design guy go into a little more detail about what he is doing and why somethings work or not in a restaurant. This program would be much more interesting if it was also more informative/educational. That was what was attractive in the beginning, now it just seems like they are trying to create fake drama like showing a shot of a collapsed souffle and then panning over to the contestant looking nervous and then panning over to Tim looking constipated and Joe shaking his head thinking "What idiots!!!! You collapsed the Souffle! And for that reason....I'm OUT!"
