JacquelineDempsey posted:Eh, I'd guess if there was anything coherent, that would have NOT included it. Makes for better tv. There was a special episode that talked about that kind of stuff. Each pitch is apparently around an hour or longer. I get the feeling they take breaks in between each one (especially given how long they are), so Arlene probably has time to sober up. During this break is probably when they set up the props, because they mentioned that when they see the people walking down the stairs that's just as much their first introduction to them as it is to us. The only prior information they have is the presenter's name. I couldn't find the special on youtube, but I know you can find it as online (I'm pretty sure it was the season 3 special).

Have we had Elvis yet? Guy tries to get dragons to invest in his band, movie, artwork, and more... Start at 15:51 if it doesn't already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtrFL-P4TVs

^^^That was some pro-click. His response to Kevin calling him a nutbar was hilarious. This guy set off my creep-o-meter in his introduction, and it just gets worse with every minute. I've seen plenty of pitches that use hot models to pique the dragon/shark men's interest; sex sells, I get it, and it doesn't bother me. But the way this douchebag points at and refers to his gf like she's literally just another prop (notice she never gets to say anything besides her age), disgusted me. As a FEMALE (as he would say) in her 40's, I'm his key demographic. And lemme tell you, the last thing I want to buy at 7-11 is a chalky tasting energy drink that says "I'm old and desperate!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym7_8A04cLo&t=1m31s after rewatching to make sure my link worked: notice how right after he says "It makes a great mixer!" and hands it to her, the woman takes one tiny sip and immediately sets it down.

So I recently came across this little segment. https://youtu.be/GsPbdcYtY8Y?t=549 These ladies want to sell ice. But not just any ice, no, specialty ice. Their ice is smaller so it won't damage blenders. They want to sell spherical ice that doesn't melt as fast in your drink (which, practically, doesn't work out that well actually). They want to make a connection with the way you chill your drink. For some loving reason Arlene gets taken along for the ride with this crap, even though you can achieve all this with some cheap ice trays and molds off of Amazon. I think it's just because Kevin points out that there isn't exactly a lot of room in the market for bulk ice and she wants an excuse to get in an argument.
