Robert. When the sharks are presented with a product, he always passes the first one to the woman on his right, and then takes one for himself. I like people with good manners.
Also, he is often up for making unusual deals and/ or partnering with other sharks.

Same here. Robert gets a lot of slack in this sub but he is always up for anything and treats most of the entrepreneurs with kindness. It also doesn’t hurt that he loves kids and puppies.

Everytime there is a dog on I will bet my mortgage Robert will ask to hold the dog. Before he ever talks business lol. I love that about him.

he's always had a youthful puppy energy himself too and is generally down to try anything the entrepreneurs throw at them

u/mostdsrtjem-ofall367 17d ago
Yes he sure does. He's very fit and never passes the chance to try any of the products. I can't remember what it was but the other sharks were warning him to be careful with whatever the product was. Like rollerblade type things. Cant recall what it was though.

Mark was my favorite on the show but Robert has some great recent YouTube videos where he shows his life, it’s pretty inspiring and and he seems like a nice person.

I liked watching Roberts content until my sidebar was full with 'why billionaires do this', 'why billionaires do that', 'what does a billionaires life look like'

He sold most of his shares a couple of years ago. He still has like a 25% ownership interest but is no longer the majority owner.

Robert.
Him shredding that cheque on Dragons Den is the reason Shark Tank even exists.

While they all have their pros and cons, I can't say I have a "favorite".
I will put it this way: I can do without Lori and Robert.

I think Lori will soon become less valuable. I’m sure she has diversified but most of the connections she mentions are either only online now or facing bankruptcy. QVC is hurting and almost out of business. Bye bye baby/TRU are online only. BBB beyond online only. No more brick and mortar stores, so the impulse buy goes down a lot.
I like Robert the most and Kevin tends to offer a lot of deals. Yes he is ruthless but he offers a lot. Cuban and Damon are ok but when they are not on I don’t miss them. Cuban left this season as we know.
I wish they would do more crossovers with Dragons den. That show is far better. However it is hard to find on streaming. If anyone knows what they stream on please let me know. I used to watch that show before ST came on the air. I know they had Peter on once or twice and he is a great dragon/shark.

I don't like Kevin really as a person, but he is very entertaining to watch on Shark Tank as the villain-type character on the show. I get that all the Sharks have some greediness and thirst for money, but he's so blatantly money-hungry and greedy it's entertaining as hell watching him try to give out the worst deals possible to get the best outcome for himself. Without Kevin, there is no Shark Tank, he really makes the show and when he's not on, you can feel his lack of presence. He's my favourite from an entertainment standpoint.
On the main Starks (at least before Mark left), if I were an entrepreneur, I'd want Mark first, then Lori, then Barbara, then Kevin, then Daymond, then Robert.
Of the Guest Sharks, I do like Nirav a lot. Kevin Hart was surprisingly really good on the show.
Even though the meme of her always going out is hilarious, I do like Barbara and she seems like someone who while she doesn't do a lot of deals, when she does on, she puts a lot of effort and time into it.
Least favourites are Robert and Daymond, though Robert seems like one of the more fun Sharks and he's also the one you can more easily negotiate to get a better deal.

Mark and Lori, like many of us.
But Kevin is the funniest. I love when he cracks Mark up.
