When so many powerful people are together in one room, it’s almost inevitable there will be clashes.
Such has been the case on this year’s season of Shark Tank, with the panellists not holding back when they encounter a difference of opinion.
And ahead of the season finale of the Channel Ten show tonight, a preview has rounded up some of the Sharks’ biggest bust-ups of the year.

In the montage video, a number of the entrepreneurs can be seen firing up at one another during heated arguments that have aired throughout the season.
Particularly feisty investor Steve Baxter was at the centre of several blow-ups, in one part exclaiming: ‘For Christ’s sake, it’s my money and we’re here to talk to the bloke’.
In another instance, he vented his frustration about an interaction to camera, complaining: ‘One thing that really annoys me is if I see a Shark doing a really low-end bottom-feeding deal’.

Steve isn’t the only judge to get worked up on the series, with Dr Glen Richards even admitting he’s a fan of the altercations.
‘I love a good shark fight, I love to rattle the other guys,’ he confessed.
And the proof of his enthusiasm to jump in and let his feelings known was evident, as the video showed Glen insulting his fellow judges.
‘Little bottom feeders,’ the veterinary spat at his cohorts.

Also not one to back down Andrew Banks who admitted: ‘If I see a deal that I think is my deal then the fight is on.’
RedBalloon founder Naomi Simson has also been known to blow her fuse in the past.
Her take-no-prisoners side was put on full display in a dispute where she screamed at one judge: ‘I didn’t ask you!’
The businesswoman later admitted: ‘shark fights just happen.’
