As the show goes on, his commentary concerning Ring is repetitive, unrelated to the topic at hand and creates a perception of him as a one trick pony. Each pitch in the episode consists of Siminoff telling the same story about his time developing Ring, even after he failed to strike a deal with the only front door-oriented product pitch (a pretty plausible one at that). Nonetheless, a viewer can easily tell Siminoff is not ready to be a shark from his limited portfolio of investment successes to draw from. The two struck gold earlier this year when Ring was acquired for right around $1 billion by Amazon. He rejected a deal from Kevin O’Leary in 2013 for stake in his company, which at the time was called “DoorBot.” Virgin founder Richard Branson vultured the business opportunity following the episode, and re-branded Siminoff’s company to its current name: Ring. Jamie Siminoff is featured on the 200th episode and is introduced as the first shark to have been a contestant himself.

Kevin Harrington has obviously been out of the picture since 2011, and, as of Season 9, Barbra Corcoran, Daymond John, Robert Herjavec and even Kevin O’Leary (the original center-seat holder) have been rotating in and out of their seats in order to incorporate all of the guest sharks that have been invited on the program as of late. The sharks introduced in 2009 are far different from the ones around in 2018. Since 2009, the tank has been overflowing with massive deals and tense negotiations. ![]() The entrepreneurial reality show “Shark Tank” recently began its 10th season, which premiered with the 200th episode of the series. ![]()
