Shark tank behind the scenes

Shark Tank pitches are taped in bulk with up to 11 pitches per day, which can vary in quality. The last two pitches of the day are known for getting intense as the stage hands fill the shark's water glasses with vodka. The show can get competitive with authentic disagreements among the sharks, like Mark Cuban and the speaker. The speaker's responsibility on the show was to challenge Cuban when needed. To stay energized during long tapings, the speaker consumed caffeinated treats like chocolate-covered espresso beans, sometimes leading to being hyper. Barbara is portrayed as the most ruthless shark, known for messing with others by saying offensive and hilarious things during filming to break character. There are apparently scandalous tapes of Barbara's behavior during these moments, although they are unlikely to be released.
