This show included an ice cream man and lawyer who both were looking for money to franchise their business model. The Sharks didn't provide them with any money but gave them some valuable advice. Some people (my girlfriend included) don't like this show because it's too harsh. But I think everyone has known, or heard of, someone who has had a business failure. And it may have been a dream to start that business but a straight talk from someone with business experience before start-up may have saved them from the harsh reality of losing their business. The value in this show is not only in showing business success, but also showing how some people have business ideas they should never undertake.
