I learned this recently, the most interesting part of which was that the founders stand silent in front of the investors for at least a few minutes while the lighting and sounds and such are set.

I wonder, don't you think the shot clock offer is real even though they've been talking longer than we've seen?

It might be kinda real, but I think it's a lot easier to see coming and prepare for than the show implies. I've only watched the last two seasons of shark tank, but from what I remember the offer always seems to come out of left field, Mark doesn't appear interested and then he suddenly makes an offer. I don't think it's usually like that, but it makes for some great television.
