'Shark Tank' Season 12 Episode 2: Does Barbara Corcoran hate Kevin O'Leary? Fans feel she's fit for 'RHONY'

​'Why don't you be quiet, Mr Wonderful?' Barbara immediately snapped as Kevin tried to advise the GoOats founder

‘Shark Tank’ packs a punch not only with the entrepreneur deals but also with the banter. This week's episode featured a chef from Falls Church, Virginia who showcased his effortless approach to a classic breakfast meal. 

Founder and COO Nahum Jeannot credits his “mom and grandmom” for the product. Narrating his story, he said he started off as a busboy and coincidentally landed a cooking role when the idea struck him. Impressed with the product, Barbara Corcoran offered him $1,50,000 for a 25% stake. A little hesitant, Jeannot pondered for a long time. While he was wondering, Kevin O'Leary aka Mr Wonderful advised him to think before he jumps on any decision as he might not get the same offers from others.

​"Why don't you be quiet, Mr Wonderful?" Barbara immediately snapped. Talking to GoOats founder Nahum Jeannot, she said, "I hate Mr Wonderful," adding, "But I love Mark because he's a billionaire." Her comments filled the room with a burst of laughter. Needless to say, Barbara has been quite entertaining with her scathing straightforward remarks on the show and she continues that tradition even now. 

Fans love that she is brutally frank on the show. "Barbara would fit right in with #rhony Horny middle-aged businesswoman. I love her! #SharkTank," one posted, pointing out that she'd be the perfect cast member on the reality TV show 'Real Housewives of New York' aka RHONY. Minutes later, the Twitter user deleted the tweet. In fact, Barbara herself tweeted, "Being the only woman in the room can be tough. When I built The Corcoran Group, the New York 'old boy network' tried to lock me out of their real estate fortunes. Then I became their largest competitor. #SharkTank."

She added, "My best successes all came on the heels of failure. You just have to be willing stay in the game long enough to see it through. #SharkTank," and also wrote, "2 Sharks aren't always better than 1. When I make an offer, I'm thinking about next steps to grow the business right away. Having a committee can make decisions slow, and slow doesn't cut it when you're trying to grow a small business. #SharkTank."

Her comments were not limited to the show. She also hit back at Kevin on Twitter saying, "Nice deal @kevinolearytv. Now you can start cleaning up your own mess! #SharkTank." Her tweets soon sparked much attention and led fans to respond with laughing emojis. "The entrepreneurs are batting 1000 tonight," one said.

So why does Barbara hate Kevin so much? Well, it doesn't seem like she completely loathes him in real life as they have often been seen hanging out in groups. Moreover, they all seem to not particularly like Kevin aka “The Merchant of Truth” very much. “Hang out with someone who dreams big and works really hard to get there. Success is contagious,” Barbara captioned a post on Instagram with her fellow sharks. Moreover, she invites other sharks over to her beach house quite often.

‘Shark Tank’ Season 12 Episode 2 premiered on October 23, 2020, at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT on ABC. Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.
