I don't know if I would trust it. Seems like it's something that could be hacked and allow someone to easily break into your home.

Anyone can learn to pick a lock. It takes an hour to teach and maybe two minutes for an amatuer to do.

I loved Daymond's wink to the lock guy on his way out. Made it look like he pitched the offer at 40% just to help him out with the bargaining later on.

I also loved Mr. Wonderful on the way out, "don't pitch to Black and Decker without me".

Wonder if he got on a flight the next morning?

I don't think the product has too much appeal in the home market now, but it has potential. I think it will have more success in new construction condos, and upgrades to nicer hotels. I think customers would like the convenience. Once it's appeal spread that way, then I see it becoming more accepted as a consumer product.

The lock product definitely has the most commercial potential of anything the show has presented to date. When all five make bids on an unproven product in the marketplace, you know it's a good idea.

The lock dude was one of the sharpest guys to come into the Tank in a long time, you can see how Cuban was impressed, he is out on some folks who he suspects don't get it. That was a great final pitch, and a good way to end the season. Quickly becoming one of the best if not the best reality show on tv right now.

That lock was awesome. Couple that with the fact the guy seemed to know what he's doing and I think his product will be a hit.

I was hoping Mr. Wonderful or Cuban would have bid on the Cougar girl...not the product or business...just the girl.

The Cougar thing was uncomfortably hilarious. The concept of women calling oneself a "cougar" is laughable and never going to sell. That's like guys wearing "Stud" gear.

I bought some Copa Di Vino at Walgreens the other day. 2 for $5.
It's not bad wine, just nothing special. The plastic cup is pretty sturdy.

Wow, that bed bug one was nuts. Tripping over themselves to make that deal. I think that could be the most successful product on the show ever.

The bed bug ladies should've countered. That dbag Kevin really screwed them with his plea to collude.

Coat check kid will regret turning down that 200k.

No shit. I would have totally jumped on that.

Considering that all he had was an idea, I thought Cuban was being really generous with that offer of 33% for $200,000. With all of Cuban's connections, he probably could have gotten that into a lot of places and made the kid a decent stack of cash.

They all wanted in. Bumping down to 200k for 20% would have been a decent strategy (and each shark would have only been risking 10K.)

I agree with Damon. The fact that anyone would make an offer on a product with no sales, no experience, and no research just opens the floodgates for tons of other people with an idea and nothing to back it up with. And those are usually the weakest pitches of Shark Tank anyway.

So lame that they colluded right off the bat. I don't know why they didn't take Barbara's offer unless they were really desperate for the cash.

The coat check thing is a great idea since it can translate to so many other bailment situations.

So, the guy who invented the reading glasses holder is now a millionaire and he's banging Laurie?

How'd you figure that? The guy was there with his wife on the boat.

Was that his wife? The way they framed the two of them, and he mentioned his "relationship with Lori", I figured they'd developed something while working together. I didn't know he had a wife.

Certainly happy for the reader glass holder guy's success but the yacht scene with Laurie breaking out the champagne seemed a bit too "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"...

I also assumed that he was banging Laurie. It looked like some swinger action was about to happen on that boat.

Every person who wants in on the Shark Tank needs to watch Cheater App guy tonight because I thought this guy with his awful outfit and constant sweaty stuttering had no chance in hell...

But God Damn, he had the goods, knew he had the goods, and had the balls to ask for more and pulled it off. Arguably one of the best pitches of the series.
