Marcus over sells the drama

He says things like oh this is so crazy or you won't believe what will happen on tonight's show.

So two company owners wanted to be on the show for the publicity. That's no surprise. It might be to him because it's a long drawn out process in his eyes. But to the viewer all the drama unfolds in an hour so it's not hard to imagine a company wanting the publicity. For people who watch Shark Tank, we see it quite frequently.

Yeah like Marcus has nothing to do than to make lesbians look bad on national TV. But you didn't disappoint I knew you'd say something like this is the lesbian episode. Your reality show here is pretty predictable. We read your same old tired script every week.

Curmed, shut your yapper and just ask Marcus for his hand in marriage

At least his script changes from week to week. You repeat the same thing every week. Your script is pretty boring and predictable. No wonder most people have walked out on your reality show you got going here.

Right so he is hyping up the show so people will watch. The 240's invited the show to get attention. Puffery abounds! Most shows do that. The worst is Hell's Kitchen. They make up things in the previews that do not even happen in the show.

I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.

Even in baddest dreams I wouldn't make me look like this on any show, forever.
In five years you still can load up this episode somewhere.

I wouldn't share the show contents with anyone and the constant redirection of their cheap, mishandling people seem to make them unbearable humans.

Its clear the women had an agenda from the beginning and Marcus went with it. Yes, since he said on twitter that he lost the money and won't go after it, it would look like he either has another deal with them or is annoyed by the whole thing.

I was wondering if he just took them in to show "the other sides of business". That not everybody is honest and a good person.

I rather believe that this kind of people are quite more out there than the do-good-ers-with-big-hearts-but-overwhelmed Marcus usually shows.
