starri April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 Mine too. She might be no-nonsense shoot-from-the-hip, but at least she doesn't BS around like some of the others do. Like when Lori offers up lavish praise to people, only to say that she doesn't want to invest with them because "they don't need her."

Gregg247 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 My problem with Barbara is that she can get really personally mean with some of the "contestants". Of all the Sharks, she's the one who will often tell someone, "I like your product, but for some reason, I just don't like you", or "You just don't look like a success", or "You don't look like someone I'd want to be in business with. I don't think I could trust you." Remember when she told the BBQ sauce guy that he looked like the piggy mascot? (She was right, but still--she's on TV!) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/940-barbara-corcoran-tough-but-fair/#findComment-131450

Is that then implied endorsement fro the show? Seems sloppy and cheap. For the most part, I like Barbara.

From what he looks like in a suit, I’m sure I wouldn’t be disappointed. Like everybody else I’d like to kill Kevin on a daily basis for all the right reasons. In my opinion Robert should come out of the closet. I’d like to have a beer with Daymond because he is the funniest man alive. Did I get off topic?

BabyVegas June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 Barbara doesn't seem to check out her endorsements very well. She uses the exact same endorsement language for everyone. I watched the clip from my area and two agents from Hawaii and the intros are the exact same. She does personalize it when she talks about why she would pick the agent she's endorsing, but it's very generic. For the Hawaii one she said "their marketing strategy is so effective that if your home doesn't sell on terms you're happy with, they'll buy it." Also a company she endorsed is now embroiled in an SEC receivership. The company was apparently peddling "virtual concierge machines" that would have printable coupons and would make investors money by charging companies to put their coupons in the machine. Barbara endorsed the company that was selling this "business opportunity." They are now in receivership for being a Ponzi scheme. I'm curious how much checking she does into companies that she endorses. My guess is only as much as making sure that the check clears. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/940-barbara-corcoran-tough-but-fair/#findComment-1259122

Dots And Stripes November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 She has millions and does what makes her money wherever she chooses. I say Bravo and see nothing wrong with doing advertising. It is no different that a celebrity being the face of Este Lauder or being in a commercial for a product. I think there is a difference. If a celebrity promotes Este Lauder, the customer is paying for say a lipstick. If the lipstick puts the desired color on the person's lips, it's done what it is supposed to do. The consumer knows what they are getting for their money. Barbara appears to be endorsing investments. She's telling people to put their money into something to get more money in return. Sure people should be skeptical and do more research, but the ponzi scheme is troubling. If something smells rotten, but people trust it because of Barbara's say so, that should diminish her reputation. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/940-barbara-corcoran-tough-but-fair/#findComment-1739503
