A show where people talk behind closed doors because if a contestant could actually open the doors and look behind them, they wouldn't be sharks, they would just be funny looking people like the ones that lived next door or down the street from you as a kid.

A show where the contestants don't leave their egos at the door, they leave them behind the door in a dark place where nobody can see or get to them.
Shark Tank isn't full of water or sharks, just a bunch of obnoxious and funny looking people like some of the ones you grew up with.

A literal shark tank, in the second James Bond book that Ian Fleming wrote -- "Live and Let Die", published in 1954. (I don't know if it's in the movie, which I never saw, but I know it's quite different from the book.)
