    Terrible. Audience was distracting, don’t need to see announcer, and Sharks were loud, rude, and talked over each other. Couldn’t understand lots and products were silly. If this is going to be the format, I won’t be watching. Very disappointing.

    The live show was terrible. All sharks talking over each other was very annoying. The live polls were childish to me. Please stay with the original format.

    It was awful. The noise was so loud you could not hear the sharks. I have no idea what the announcer was saying as he was drowned out. The interplay with the audience was contrived as were the votes. I have watched every episode since Season 1. I told my wife last night that this format ruined a good thing and that I would top watching Shark Tank if this format continued

    There was so much talking over each other that I had to turn it off...it was stressful to watch- I prefer the regular format of the show.

    Bad enough when they pander to the home audience... Giving the sharks a live audience was too much. The only thing I got from this staged "live" performance is the Shark Tank editing team deserves Emmys ...because they clearly work very hard to make the show the success it has been. They are the true stars of the show.

    I thought the audience detracted from the entrepreneurs + their products. I just finished watching as I taped it last night + I have a headache (I only get headaches when I'm sick or super-stressed). I loooove the regular format as these entrepreneurs want to make serious pitches for serious success. Thanks for reading this! Love the usual show!!!

    Terrible. Too noisy, audience clapping and noise was too disruptive. Polls were stupid. Some sharks acted stupid. Lots of wasted time. Won't watch a live show again.

    We love Shark Tank. The new live approach was not good at all. It makes it to much like a game show with the Sharks just showing off. If this stays live, I don’t see us continuing to watch. Go back to the old format.

    Horrible! Too noisy, corny and seems scripted. Would not want to watch again. Bring back old format now!!!!!

    What a farce.Cuban hi fiving the audience, Herjovic and Damon acting like clowns,Barbara in princesss dress . Changed channel after the first pitch.If you don't back to the original format 'you're dead to me'!

    Shark Tank is one of my favorite shows but this live version was painful to watch. It seemed more like a silly game show with the audience encouraged to chant and the sharks all yelling at the same time like 3 year olds. I’m surprised that any of them would participate in this format and compromise their image. When the “contestant” on the first episode was asked to make a decision about her baby products, the different offers weren’t even summarized or presented professionally, just a bunch of screaming by the sharks and audience. Also the texting part was beyond silly and further trivialized the utter silliness of the show.

    Terrible idea. Ruined the pace of show. Audience applause seemed random and out of place. Sharks and pitchers were performing for live audience. Admittedly, I only got halfway through the 1st pitch, but that format was unbearable. Hopefully this was a one-off.

    Awfyl, The more I read comments about how bad the show was from everybody the more I think you did it as a spoof! But if it was for real what drugs are you on when you thought of this? I thought the sharks look like idiots I can’t believe they behave so poorly it was embarrassing! It was loud the acoustics were awful! The poor entrepreneurs I felt were Demoralized and the viewers at home or mortifyied. If it was a spoof it worked because everybody I know shut the show off

    Horrible. I have never missed an episode but if you stay with live I will never watch another. Was like the worst zoom call ever.

  • Rene - 2 years ago

    Terrible format! Why fix something that wasn't broken? This used to be a great show and I enjoyed watching it. No more. I hated the new Live format and will no longer watch Shark Tank. You totally ruined it! Bad move on your part.

  • Robert - 2 years ago

    Absolutely destroyed this show for me. Couldn’t get through the entire first episode what were you thinking? As Kevin would say “you’re dead to me “.

    Don’t like the audience voting. Never would ask that year ion.
    Too much yelling and disruption Not an entertainment hour. Don’t need the audience. Go back to the old format

    I did like the show and I do like your audience of it being live , yet at the same time I think it takes away more of the sharks going after each other also you don’t see as many entrepreneurs because the audience gets involved and I feel it takes away from more people coming out to show their items just in my opinion. I’ve been watching shark tank since day one and I absolutely love it.

    We really don't need another game show. Definitely missing the individual space and environment between the sharks and the entrepreneurs. The intrigue is lost with the prompting of clapping, cheering, chanting and the sharks all yelling over one another at the same time "game show". Please go back to the closed tank, so much better! TY.

  • Joann - 2 years ago

    Too much makeup. At one point everybody kept yelling. There is no need for an audience. It distracts from the business discussion. Please go back to the original. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Excuse my english
