Shark Tank has more in common with the audition phase of American Idol than you would think. Some contestants are introduced with an upbeat video package describing themselves and their product. They then enter the "tank" and pitch the product to the "sharks", whose snarky banter amongst themselves is similar to the Idol judges' banter except not as interesting. One by one, each shark decides if they will make a negotiation offer. Afterwards, the contestant is shown talking to the camera about what just happened (if there was an offer or not) and what they hope to do next. So if you like watching the American Idol auditions or are into business, you should like Shark Tank.

if your thinking an actual shark tank and thinking too violent, your wrong. its just people trying to make biusnessess. good show.

I don't think this show is bad at all! I actually think this is a family show! I love this show myself, it's very interesting.

I enjoyed watching this. Unfortunately, the show does move rather slowly. A total of 5 people pitched their ideas on the episode.
