I read somewhere they wear the same outfits for weeks of shooting because they mix and match the pitches from different days in the episodes.
Please explain... do you mean that the four pitches of each episode were not filmed the same day?

Each episode is not shot individually. The sharks are required to wear the same outfits for several days, because no one knows which segments will be combined into which episode. There might be several rejections in a row, or several million dollar deals in a row. Producers like to mix them up. Wearing the same clothes for days on end is especially trying for Corcoran and John, who are the most stylish sharks in the tank.

What usually happens is that they see many more than four or five pitches in one day. However each episode only shows four of them. So it's very likely that every second or third episode you'll go back to seeing them in the same clothes as previous episodes.

Yes, the Sharks fly into Los Angeles several times a year (often in July and October, if not more) and shoot several marathon days in which 20 or so business pitch, one after the other, with time in between to set up for the next one and get make-up touch-ups. Then the segments are mixed and matched over multiple episodes — which is why Barbara Corcoran and Lori Greiner wear the same outfit week after week. They have to for continuity, so the look will remain the same no matter when the segment airs. The guys are wearing the same clothes, too, but few people seem to notice that. Sexism!

Was the bee maker right for giving away 75% of his company?

I really felt that they took advantage of him because of his age for that one

I understand why they wanted to take control but I think the original 60% offer was more fair.

I think the guy selling the cricket bars made a big mistake buy embracing the cricket content head on and demonstrating the jar of live crickets. If he would have presented it as an energy bar with protein derived from crickets, that would have been more palatable to the sharks. No need to tell them proudly how he grinds up the crickets into flour and bakes it into the bars...

The garage lock just comes to show you that if the product is good enough, someone will make a deal. I personally wouldn't buy it unless it was integrated with the regular garage remote.

If you know that nothing happened to those who ate it, not eating is just plain silly
