Shark Tank Ratings Shocker After Exit, Will It Survive?

Shark Tank ratings are not doing as good as they were when Mark Cuban was on the show. The premiere of Season 17 brought in 1.8 million viewers. However, the Season 16 premiere brought in 2.4 million. So, it has already taken a big drop. However, in each episode, it seems to drop more. This is not good news for the show.

“Shark Tank has been having to rely on stunt casting every week this season, like Chip and Joanna Gaines and even bringing back past entrepreneurs from other seasons. Because they embraced to have a ratings plummet after Mark left and unfortunately that’s  what they got, The guest shark casting is essentially because the network couldn’t land one big enough name to be a Shark full-time for the whole season. “

Yikes. The show needs to find a good replacement shark, or Shark Tank may not be a show much longer.
