Jack fiercely declines, and gets defensive as the investors tell him his company is only worth four times his profit from the previous year. After Jack suggests that he no longer wants a deal, the investors accuse Jack of only coming on the show to appear on television and promote his YouTube channel. | ||
Jack begins to break down, feeling that the investors are calling him a liar. Jack says he wants to prioritize his reputation over money, claiming to be more concerned that people at the competition were loved on and fed than him winning the contest.
