Just to play devil's advocate, a contestant from another show said that she would look at people crying on TV and could never understand it. Once she was actually on one of these shows, she also cried when talking about something family-related. I think the show was "Chopped." Yeah, kind of different but her explanation was that it's a surreal experience once one is actually there. I agree that some entrepreneurs on Shark Tank turn the water works on a little too conveniently, though. I'm tired of Lori saying things through those clenched teeth and forced smiles. I like Lori but sometimes she comes off as passive aggressive. I'm also tired of the Sharks coming up with BS reasons as to why they're out. Sometimes it comes off as less-than-genuine.

It's a contract thing with them, I know Mark originally didn't want to take the job on ST due to what he was going to get paid vs what he could do WORKING. However, that changed when the various projects started coming and he doesn't like missing them do to exposure and other avenues. Same with Lori, but Mark did take some time off after his hip surgery a few years ago and Lori was off one episode due to getting sick a few days before filming an episode.
