Daymond John invests in Tucky Belt 

Brooke confidently stepped into the Shark Tank seeking $70,000 in exchange for a mere 3% stake in her brainchild, Tucky Belt. With a sparkle in her eye, she presented her creation as a "fancy fashion gadget," capturing the attention of the esteemed panel. However, as the pitch progressed, Barbara and Lori found themselves unconvinced and decided to bow out of the opportunity.

Undeterred by their departures, Brooke continued her presentation, hoping to secure a deal that would bring her vision to life. Daymond and Kevin, both intrigued by the potential of Tucky Belt, made separate offers of $70,000, but with significantly higher equity stakes. Daymond proposed a 40% stake, while Kevin matched his offer. Caught in a thrilling negotiation, Brooke skillfully maneuvered, knowing that finding the right partnership was essential for the growth of her business. With determination and a touch of shrewdness, she countered their offers by suggesting a slight reduction in equity to 39%. Daymond, recognizing the opportunity at hand, wasted no time in accepting Brooke's counteroffer. In that moment, a wave of relief and excitement swept through the room as Brooke sealed the deal with Daymond. With their combined expertise and resources, they would take Tucky Belt to new heights, revolutionizing the world of fashion gadgets and fulfilling Brooke's dream of bringing comfort and style together.

'Tucky is yucky'

The concept of Tucky Belt faced its fair share of criticism from fans who were quick to voice their opinions. One fan scoffed at the idea, exclaiming, "Girls on Shark Tank selling a glorified hair tie to make their t-shirts into a crop top... be serious!!!" Another skeptic chimed in, expressing doubt about the potential for growth, stating, "I think she has an okay business for herself, but I don't see it growing to the point of needing a partner." Further disparagement came from another observer who dismissed Tucky Belt saying, "It's a rubber band with a cringe name for a short fad" Criticizing Brooke's negotiation skills, someone remarked, "Wow, just 1% less? I thought she would counter with 33% instead of 39%." Adding to the chorus of dissent, another individual claimed, ""I've been doing the same for years with rubber bands. " Meanwhile, a Redditor offered a mixed review, acknowledging, "It is a decent idea, limited market. Might be uncomfortable. It, as a segment, is absolutely boring as can be though."
