The Profit on CNBC

First Season of The Profit

Marcus Lemonis is the Shark on CNBC The Profit

 The #1 Business Channel CNBC has come out with two different Business Reality TV Shows this season in response to the success of the Shark Tank Show. The first show Crowd Rules lasted a whopping 2 episodes before it was pulled from CNBC with rating's less than 50,000 viewers.
 The second show called The Profit, came out with much stronger ratings over 250,000 viewers but was unable to sustain those numbers after the season premiere. It has however never fallen to the dismal ratings of Crowd Rules.

Crowd Rules was a cross between a game show and the Shark Tank Show featuring 3 businesses competing for a $50,000.00 prize. After a series of voting rounds between Crowd Rules Hosts Kendra Scott and Pat Kiernan, along with 100 members of the audience, the $50k prize was awarded to only one of the three featured businesses. One company seen on the season premiere Heart Breaking Dawns, a BBQ Sauce Business, would go on to win the very first episode. While another company Mr. Green Tea would end up on both Crowd Rules and The Profit.

New Host's for CNBC "Crowd Rules"

 With the huge success Shark Tank Show it was only a matter of time until the biggest stocks and business channel would come up with their own version. Coming this May 14th, CNBC will air the first of 8 episodes featuring small businesses competing for a $50,000.00 prize. Unlike the Shark Tank that consists of the Sharks using their own money for businesses that they are interested in, The Crowd Rules is set-up more as a crowd funding platform with a total of 100 judges.

Each one hour episode will consist of 3 entrepreneurs pitching their business to three judges and 97 members of the audience who hold the entrepreneurs fate on who gets the $50k. The three judges include Jewelry Designer Kendra Scott, TV Newsman Pat Kiernan and one weekly surprise guest industry expert for the theme for that particular episode. Each show will have a distinctive theme (IE: Restaurants) and the business who has the best plan to succeed will get $50,000.00 to use towards their business anyway they chose. There is only one winner in each episode of Crowd Rules.
