friday shopping. some stores opening their doors at midnight and abc's alex perez is in chicago this morning with where americans are lining up for the best holiday bargains. alex, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, good morning, paula. take a look behind me. the doors just opened up. a big crowd of people coming on inside the store right now. this is the big day, retailers and shoppers have been waiting for it all year. it's a frenzy on full display. >> 475. >> 189.99. >> more than half off. >> reporter: from tvs to footwear to the season's hottest gadgets. millions of americans cut dinners short in exchange for long lines. >> want to get a tv. >> reporter: just to find those black friday sales. >> we're not even going to eat. >> they don't care if they see me. they got their turkey. >> reporter: camping out for hours to get their hands on the door before t door buster deals.

>> i can do 36 hours out in the cold. i never leave. >> when they line up, they come equipped. i see people out there with two and three coat, long johns, hot chocolate so plan for this day and these are experienced shoppers. >> reporter: lines are out the door for clothing, purses, even toys. and then some stores it may feel like freaky friday with toys "r" us offering deals on electronics and best buy dealing out discounts on barbies but in the end it was the holiday hype and was it all it was cracked up to be? it was like 80% off so can't beat that. >> i looked it up everywhere. you can't get that deal nowhere else. >> all those people are in line for the electronics. >> reporter: some people aren't so convinced. >> it's overrated. the experience is way overrated. >> reporter: so how do you tell a deal from a dud? one tip to keep in mind, you should always look for about 30% off the original price. paula. >> i liked what that one consumer said. he was getting 80% off.

for those that didn't brave the wealth and didn't forgo the sleep or thanksgiving meals are we out of luck to get the best in-store deals? >> reporter: well, here's the good news. the answer is no. stores these days are stretching their hours, stretching those deals, so black friday really is a lot more than just one day now. >> all right, alex perez reporting from chicago. alex, thank you very much. dan. >> so thanksgiving was a huge day for online shopping but black friday is slated to be the busiest day. the national retail federation says 115 million people will buy something today and becky worley joins us from san francisco with the best bargains. hey, becky, good morning. >> good morning, dan. you're right. thanksgiving spending was big. deals today, though, sparking even more buying. data coming in from adobe saying as of 5:00 p.m. eastern on thanksgiving $1.5 billion they tallied online. that's 17% more than was spent last thanksgiving online. amazon reporting their

thanksgiving sales this year, 50% larger than last year. analysts predicting though today will produce even bigger sales numbers so let's get to the deals. today the best day for discounts on clothing, cell phones and toys, dan. >> so what are some of the better deals you're seeing out there today? >> today i think gift cards. they're the number one gift request. they are on sale. it's kind of like free money. so itunes gift cards, it's a bogo on 30% off the second card for you deal hunters, buy one get one so it's 15% off on itunes gift cards at best buy. google play cards are 17% off at costco. another deal, the dyson v6 vacuum, $249 at target. 50 bucks off the regular price, plus today at target, buy anything, spend 50 bucks and you get a 20% off coupon on your

entire next purchase. that is huge. let's talk toys. if it's popular, i have this guy, the incredible porg. he likes to talk to you but now if you see even a small discount on something popular like this, he's been marked down about $12, $13 at jcpenney. get them while you can telling out like hotcakes same for hatchimals and fingerlings. >> i have a 3-year-old and don't want to hear that noise all the time so hoping he's not watching this. >> i'll send it to you, bud. >> i appreciate that. by the way you know you're shopping too much term when you use terps like bogo unironically, buy one, get one. we saw alex perez in the store in chicago. a lot of people will be hitting stores today. but where are the better deals, online or in stores? >> you know, i think we're seeing deals in both. it may be about inventory. one surprise from data that we're getting from both the national retail federation and

adobe. almost half of online shopping is being done from mobile devices, not computers, dan. >> becky worley, our expert will be talking to us throughout the morning. paula, over to you. >> dan and becky, thank you. for more online black friday deals we are joined by amazon's senior p,manager, lori torgerson, lori joining us. >> hi. how are you? >> we're seeing traditional brick and mortar stores are trying to get everybody to come in the store. but why is online better? >> nothing beats the convenience of shopping from the comfort of your own home and amazon is offering incredible deals all throughout the holiday season and particularly during what we call the turkey five so popular shopping days kicked off yesterday on thanksgiving, running all the way through cyber monday. you're going to find some of the best deals of the year at amazon. >> the turkey five. i've only heard that for the first time this morning. i want you to tell us about some of your best deals. i have a bunch of things in my

cart waiting to check out. what are some? >> amazon.com/blackfriday you'll find more than 30 deals of the day and thousands of lightning deals across toys, electronics, kitchen gadgets and that includes deals from small businesses and entrepreneurs all across the country. and so today we're offering up to 40% off select underarmour apparel and offering almost half off a nespresso machine and off melissa and doug toys and furniture and 30% off a segway minipro. some of the deals you'll find. >> what are some of your biggest sellers right now? >> so coming off big shopping day on thanksgiving, we saw alexa enabled devices were among the best-seller list and also saw the keurig was wildly popular among amazon customers and that's what we're seeing so far. we'll see what happens today for black friday. >> i want to talk about cyber monday. you mentioned the turkey five. cyber monday is just around the corner. with all these deals, does it

mean anything anymore. >> absolutely. last year on cyber monday amazon customers ordered more than 64 million items worldwide which is a record breaking 740 items per second. so if that's any indication of how popular cyber monday shopping is, i think we're in for quite a busy day monday. >> you're probably going to be shipping hundreds of millions of packages this holiday season. are they going to arrive in time for christmas? >> absolutely. so i know that that is of the utmost importance to amazon customers all throughout the year and especially during the busy holiday season. rest assured we are working with our carrier partners across the country and increased delivery capacity with our own fleet of cargo trucks and planes to make sure the packages arrive on your doorstep right on time. >> one more sign that amazon is taking over. lori torgerson joining us from seattle this morning, lori, thank you so much. and happy black friday. >> thank you, happy black friday to you as well. >> that on time delivery is such a major issue. >> see all those toys we can buy

for your son. >> yes, i did. as long as they don't make too much noise. we move on to politics though and what could be a truly troubling development for the white house. news broke overnight involving michael flynn, the national security adviser who was fired by president trump as first reported by "the new york times" and now confirmed by abc news, flynn's lawyers have told the president's legal team that they can no longer discuss the russia investigation with him and cecilia vega is at the white house. cecilia, good morning. can you break this down for us. >> reporter: essentially a break in talks could be a sign that michael flynn is now cooperating with robert mueller's investigation. remember flynn, of course, was the president's short-lived national security adviser. he's a key target of mueller's probe into whether there was collusion between the russians and the trump team during the campaign. if he is cooperating, he'd really be able to pull back the curtain essentially on the early days of this administration. on the campaign. so the big question this morning, is the trump team, the white house nervous about this?

a lawyer for the president says, look, this was expected. it's not an unexpected move but no one should draw any conclusions about this meaning that trump is working against the president but, dan, i mean as you know, certainly those are the conclusions that are being drawn this morning. >> absolutely. potentially a major development in this investigation, cecilia, while i have you, let me ask you about another piece of news this morning. a new apology from democratic senator al franken who has now been accused of groping four women. what is he saying? >> reporter: yeah, well, two women came forward to accuse them -- to accuse him, rather, of grabbing their backsides during political events when he was running for senate. the first time. overnight he released a lengthy stiement and says basically he's met thousands of people and take photos at chaotic events and then says this, quote, i'm a warm person. i hug people. some women have found my greetings or embraces for a hug or photo inappropriate and i respect their feelings about that. i feel terribly that i've made some women feel badly and for

that i am so sorry an i want to make sure that never happens again. he also apologized, dan, to minnesotans and says he is committed to regaining their trust. we have not heard from him on camera since this scandal broke. >> cecilia vega at the white house for us this morning. cecilia, thank you. paula, over to you. >> doesn't sound like senator al franken is going to step down either. we want to turn to uma thurman's bombshell me too message to harvey weinstein. the "kill bill" star breaking her silence on the sexual assault allegations against the movie mogul and abc's erielle reshef has more. erielle, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, paula. it wasn't the joyful thanksgiving post her fans may have been expecting. actress uma thurman taking aim at harvey weinstein on instagram and telling her followers to stay tuned. this morning, uma thurman with strong words. >> i roared and i got bloody. >> reporter: the "kill bill" actress taking a page out of her own movie and delivering a cryptic but clear message to disgraced movie mogul harvey

weinstein. posting this photo from that movie he executive produced and writing, happy thanksgiving, everyone, except you, harvey and all your wicked con spirit tors. i'm glad it's going slowly. you don't deserve a bullet. the candid post coming just weeks after thurman became emotional on the red carpet when asked about the me too moment. >> because i have learned i am not a child and i have learned that when i've spoken in anger, i usually regret the way i express myself. >> reporter: but did not elaborate any further. >> when i'm ready, i'll say what i have to say. >> reporter: thurman has worked with weinstein on some of her biggest hits including the cult classic "pulp fiction." ♪ but has remained silent as dozens of women have come out with claims that the embattled producer sexually harassed them. now the oscar winner hinting she

is ready to tell her story. and thurman added in her instagram post i said i was angry recently and i have a few reasons, #metoo. in case you couldn't tell by the look on my face stay tuned. we have reached out to her representatives for additional comment. so far we have not heard back. >> just from the tone of her voice sounds like she is ready. >> forceful. forceful. erielle, thank you very much. we'll switch gears to an amazing thanksgiving story. it involves a 2-year-old boy who received a life-saving kidney transplant a month after it was postponed due to his father's parole but an anonymous donor came to the family's rescue and linsey davis is here with that. good morning. >> you know, this story is about a kidney but where you feel it is all in your heart. in a controversial move last month little a.j. burgess was denied his father's kidney but this morn the 2-year-old is in the hospital recovering after life-saving surgery. this morning, one family has even more to be thankful for

after receiving a priceless gift from a stranger. 2-year-old a.j. burgess had been born prematurely without kidneys and needed a transplant to survive. his father anthony wag a perfect match. >> i want to give him a kidney. i'd go to the hospital right now and lay on the bed and give him my kidney. >> but anthony who had previously been jailed for theft was arrested again in september for violating parole right before he was scheduled to donate his kidney to his son. emory health care postponed the life-saving operation saying in a letter the surgery would be put on hold until he could show evidence of compliance from his parole officer for the next three months. >> i don't understand what him being on parole has to do with him giving our son a kidney. >> this is a child's life we're talking about. >> reporter: protests erupted in atlanta outside the children's hospital demanding that emory health reverse their decision. but this morning, baby a.j. is recovering having received a new kidney wednesday from an unknown

donor. the family's attorney says the surgery so far was a success. >> the family has had an unbelievable feeling today of gratitude and it's just been an overwhelming 24 hours for them. >> reporter: a.j.'s family spent thanksgiving at the hospital. but their thoughts are with that anonymous donor's family. >> this is for them an unexpected thanksgiving miracle. >> reporter: a.j.'s expected to be in the hospital for about a week. his mother posted on facebook not posting what's wrong on here but please keep him in your prayers. actor and filmmaker tyler perry who recently gave the family a car to drive back and forth to dialysis is also asking people to pray for a.j. maybes it all the more special it happened on the eve of thanksgiving. >> god bless that donor. >> beautiful baby. great story. hey, rob. >> while many bundled up for the

parades or chilliness across the area for thanksgiving this one the record heat is going to be spreading out toward the east. phoenix 85 degrees, las vegas may see a record and some of these temperatures spread into the record territory across parts of oklahoma and kansas too. looking ahead towards the travel on sunday now. for a holiday weekend really the weather is not too shabby. maybe a couple of lake effect snow showers across i-90. other than that looking dry and rather lovely actually. time now for your weekend get away brought to you by walgreens.

special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation. also right now, an update on an amazing story we told you about yesterday about paying it forward. kate mcclure launched a go fund me page for a homeless hero, a veteran by the name of johnny bobbit. when she ran out of gas he gave her his last 20 bucks. she decided to pay him back. her original goal was to raise $10,000. he said it was life changing. this morning it has reached $290,000. >> wow. >> for the homeless here. it is incredible and he says that he's going to pay that forward yet again and give it away to other people? that's his first instinct is to think outside of himself. even when that number reached 1700, he said that was going to be life changing and now look at the donations pouring in. 290,000. >> life changing for many people. >> i know. well, god bless him. we'll begin this half hour with the murder, though, that rocked a beautiful seaside down on cape cod.

a single mother found stabbed to death. her young daughter was left unharmed by her side and abc's sunny hostin has more. good morning to you. >> good morning. well, at the time this was the first murder in 30 years to rock the small new england town. it was followed by a lengthy investigation with the entire town under suspicion and today serious questions remain about how police handled the case and if they got the right man. -year-old christa worthington was found murdered in her truro home. >> stabbed through the chest. >> reporter: her 2 1/2-year-old daughter found unharmed near the bead. >> there was some evidence she took her sippy cup and tried to feed her mother and wake her mother up. >> the cape had never seen or witnessed an event like this ever. >> reporter: the worthington family goes back generations here in truro where they are rich in property. christa inherited her mother's weather-worn cottage. >> her father was a harvard educated lawyer.

it was a very privileged upbringing. after high school christa went to vassar. she actually was the bureau chief in paris for "women's wear daily" and wrote for all the major magazines, cosmo, harper's bazaar. >> there was nothing to indicate who it might have been. the house at 50 deep poe road is isolated. >> i couldn't imagine who could have killed her. i couldn't even think of it. >> they have problems here because this crime scene was managed very poorly. >> the police here have not had to deal with a murder in maybe a generation. two general -- three generation, who knows. these people are not trained to handle a murder scene. >> the blanket was thrown over the victim. that contaminated the body. >> while the crime scene was not pristine they found critical evidence, dna. >> we believe that christa worthington was involved in an intimate relationship with a person prior to or relatively

con temp andous with her death. >> the police and district attorney were desperate. they have not solved this case so they decided to do a very unusual thing. >> reporter: investigators took the controversial step of launching what's called a dna dragnet. they asked all of truro's roughly 800 male residents to voluntarily give dna samples. >> who did the police question? everybody. and they did so indiscriminately. literally hundreds of people. myself included. >> almost everyone in town was a suspect. >> after three years of investigation, the police finally get this dna break and they make an arrest, but they arrest someone that no one would have expected. so it turns out that the dna dragnet did not find them the killer. the dna they got a hit on they had had for maybe over a year. >> the big question remains has the wrong man been in jail for

11 years? >> yeah, i know you're trying to get to the bottom of that. sunny, you know, we saw it in the piece that the police there had rarely investigated murders and there are questions of possible contamination at the crime scene. i want to read what the d.a. said to abc news about possible contamination. he said obviously initially responding police and emergency medical technicians have to enter a scene to assess the threat and treat the injured. no crime scene is pristine. this one was better than many but how problematic is how this situation was handled? >> extremely problematic. i mean if you think about it, a murder had not been investigated in the town for 0 years and didn't know what to do. when you take a blanket and throw it over the body you are contaminating the entire crime scene so i think there are real problems with this case because of the way it was handled. >> and christopher mccowan has been behind bars for over a decade and had three motions for a new trial denied. you spoke to him. can you tell us about the conversation. >> i spoke to him and wanted to see him in prison. they wouldn't allow us to do

that. they said it was for his protection which didn't really make a lot of sense but spoke to him and interviewed him for over an hour and always maintained his innocence and it was fascinating to me how believable he was. how forthcoming he was. how honest he was and he said i had a consensual sexual relationship with this woman and i know people don't believe that but that is what happened. >> you think it's important to re-open the case? >> i think it's very important because we want justice. we want the truth. and if this man has been in prison wrongfully imprisoned for 11 year, you know, don't we want to free him? >> sunny, thanks for your extraordinary reporting. a reminder see the two-hour "20/20" documentary "a killing on the cape" tonight on abc. >> sounds like a great two hours of television. >> it's really well done. if i do say so myself. >> you're allowed to say so. anything you do is well done. coming up here on "gma," a warning about fake apps that could take over your phone.

>> reporter: good morning. adobe an lit seconds estimates 54% of all visits to shopping sites will come from smartphones and tablets. that's why our warning about fake malicious apps is so important to revisit. there are nearly 3.4 million at any time hackers can use to see what you're doing on your phone. as you're about to see, the risk is very real. we're inside a coffee shop in washington, d.c. with a group of young people who have no idea that some of them are about to be hacked. >> here we go. >> here's why. just this september, a massive breach made headlines. >> one of the biggest outbreaks ever. >> reporter: hackers somehow introduced 50 malicious apps also known as doppelgangers, fake apps that mirror the reel thing into the google play store and millions of unsuspecting android users downloaded the bad app, a total of 4.2 million times. one of those disguised as a seemingly simple app called lovely wallpaper. you don't realize it's a fake. >> so if you download a nasty

version of minecraft, for example, you actually seem to get minecraft and it seems to work but in the background the attackers are able to access your information. >> reporter: james lyne is a security adviser at sophos and gave phones to our volunteers as part of our demonstration. we told them to use the phones as they normally would. what they don't know, james already installed a malicious app on the phones. now watch with the group sitting in another part of the coffee shop? we can retrieve their text messages. >> there it is. say, it's me. stunning. there's a little emoji. next james triggers one of their cameras. >> he's going to have no idea the camera is just activated and there's a photo of one of our users. >> hi, guys. it turns out every one of our volunteers had signed in to their social media accounts. did anyone notice anything strange happening on your phones? not realizing james had stolen

all of their passwords. the person who should have noticed something going on was you. >> oh, did you take that of me while i was on my phone? >> while you were on the phone. this is the selfie cam. >> that's scary. >> reporter: we decided to upantampa e with one of the students taking him outside. he had no idea that inside the coffee shop -- >> i'm tracking him now and can see where he is. >> reporter: -- james was live streeping his camera and pinpointing his location. he has access right now to this. james can even control his text messages. what is this? hey, can you send me your password? >> i didn't text that. >> you didn't? >> no. >> but it says you did. james says someone doesn't even have to be on their phone to be hacked. even when you weren't using the phone we still got a picture of you. >> oh, what? how? >> so the phone was just sitting there on the table looking right up at you. >> reporter: experts say the danger is far greater than just a stolen selfie.

>> once the cybercriminal is into your phone they can access your user anyways and password, credit cards. basically to be able to profit from your device without you knowing. >> unbelievable. google tells us it's been tracking this maltware for months and constantly removing bad apps from the play store and added to its review procedures but the company relies on the community of users and developers to catch these bad apps. i know we've traumatized paula. >> i'm almost speechless. by the way, let me turn your camera down. wait. wait. there we go. >> next time i send a dumb text to my wife i'm going to say i got hacked. let me ask what can we do to protect ourselves change your password? >> that's important but not enough. if you've been hacked you need to delete the app. you need to restore your phone. you need to just wipe it entirely and you really need to look for who these developers are. research them and make sure you're downloading from a trusted developer. >> gio, thanks for the wake-up call. we appreciate it. >> just a little disturbing on

stopped sharing information in the president's legal team and as you say that could be a sign that flynn is now cooperating with special counsel robert mueller's investigation. now, a lawyer for president trump says this isn't unexpected and that no one should draw any conclusions that flynn is now working against the president but certainly the move indicates that flynn may have been flipped as a witness. he was, of course, the short-lived national security adviser. he would be able to shed light on the early days of this administration and the campaign so the big question is president trump nervous? well, paula, his first tweet this morning was about the nfl and kneeling. >> cecilia, a great segue for us. transition, speak of the nfl a story for you. thanksgiving was a big day for minnesota vikings defensive end everson griffen. he collected two sacks but had his third son right before the son or should we say his wife did and watched the birth via facetime from the locker room and look how he celebrated on the feel.

my super bowl sadly. no romphim deals. sorry, dan. >> so what is the deal you're talking about this morning. i understand you've got deals on something like amazon echo and things like that. >> we have deals aplenty. spend $50 at target on anything, online or in store and then you get a 20% off coupon to be used storewide later on an entire purchase. i mean, what can't you buy at target? 20% storewide is major. >> and so i was talking about the amazon echo and the google home mini. we've got some here in studio. there are deals on these, as well. >> ooh. >> sales are predicted to triple on these this holiday season. the echo dot is $20 off at amazon. the google home mini is selling out fast because it's $29 at walmart and you get a $25 gift card. that's a net price of 4 bucks on these voice assistants.

very good deal. >> very cool. we also have a new console, the xbox with us in studio and apparently there were deals on these as well. tell us more. >> right, so the xbox one x. every three or four years there is a new console released that causes a lot of opportunities to get deals. this year, the one x is new. not a lot of deals, 499 every single place a checked online but the older xbox one, the "s" as in sam's club is 189 bucks, 90 bucks off the list price, same at toys "r" us and microsoft store is 10 bucks cheaper and get a game thrown in. the ps slim is trying to stay competitive. one terabyte is 189 at bjs. 189 and kohl's 199 but throw in a $60 gift card. that's a pretty good deal.

yeah, great for gaming. gaming consoles are good gift, right? one thing that's new we're seeing dees on virtual reality bundles. for pc gamers the oculus rift but vr touch controller is $349 at best buy, the best price we've seen by $50 so far so get your vr on. everybody wants that for christmas this year. >> let's get our vr on. we have an oculus in studio and one of our lucky audience members will be able to take this one home. let's do a little lottery and spin. it's not you, adrienne, sorry. number 25, come on up. where are you, 25?

>> wow, that's crazy. >> merry christmas. happy black friday to you. >> paula, over to you. >> i don't know how i'm going to follow that up but congratulations, kid that has the it's lit mansuit on. turning now to "gma investigates." a warning about fires in the o.r. even during the most routine surgeries. the important questions you need to ask before you go under. hi there, gio. >> reporter: hey there. something as minor as a mole removal surgery could lead to a scary disaster. fire on the operating table and right now we're getting a firsthand look at the shocking error. this morning "gma investigates." we've heard the operating room horror stories, instruments left in patients, the wrong body part being operated on. but there's one medal error you may have never heard of that's instant and devastating. surgical fires. >> fire. fire. >> that's when a patient undergoing surgery catches on fire on the operating table. >> reporter: katherine reuter's

mother was injured after going in for minor surgery. >> she was burned on her face, neck, shoulder, eyes and ear. >> reporter: according to the hospital it ignited on her face. >> i couldn't believe in the u.s. we could set a patient on fire during surgery. >> reporter: reuter now uses her story to educate others through a website dedicated to prevention. >> we know how to prevent it and know what causes it. >> reporter: mark bruley says most are sparked when oxygen pump to the patient meets an ignition source like a laser and some kind of fuel like fabric but points to a problem saying some patients don't even need this added oxygen and those who do are often pumped with higher concentratings than necessary. >> so here we're simulating with a mannequin. >> reporter: "gma investigates" had this fiery demonstration.

he uses a material that acts like hewlett skin over the surgical area. oxygen flows to the mannequin through a nonflammable tube and once the oxygen builds up, watch what happens when the tool hits the skin. >> whoa. >> oxygen off, please. what we have is damage to the patient's skin. the fire also burned underneath and scorched other areas along the upper chest. >> wow. >> and depending on the amount of oxygen, you could also wind up with burns to the cheek, the eyes, the chin, the nose. >> reporter: though there has been a nearly 65% decline in surgical fires over the last ten years, bruley warns even one preventible accident in the operating room is too many. to those would say, you know what, all of these accidents are down dramatically what do you say? >> certainly they're down. but the 20 or 30 patients a year who wind up with severely facial

disfiguring injuries or the one or two patients a year who die that is not unimportant to them. >> reporter: the council on surge cat and perioperative safety does not think oxygen during surgery should be regulated. that every patient who cops to the o.r. is different and this issue should not be taken away from well-trained doctors and nurses. a few simple questions might make the difference. >> you as a patient could ask are you going to give me oxygen on my face? do i really need it or can you get by with air? that is part of the process for eliminating this hazard. >> and the american society of anesthesiologists has been recognized for its efforts to educate the health care community about surgical fires and tell us that while anesthesia is safer than ever it continues as a top priority so patients really should ask whether that facility has a protocol or plan in place to identify and prevent these fires. >> arm yourself with this information. gio, thanks again for bringing

that to our attention. let's send things over to rob. >> hi again, guys. it is, you know, it's getting colder now in th i don't know. that looked painful. we are dry heading outside we are sunny but we're also cold. only about 34 degrees in philadelphia. some suburbs still in the 20s. winter coats all around as you head out early perhaps for shopping. later today sunny and milder than yesterday with light winds anal a high of 54. 58 with a gathering of clouds

mainly dry and sunday brisk and cooler. winds gusting up to 30. bundle up if you're headed to the eagles game. e that mistake. >> your cats are smart. smarter than most. >> now if you want to make money this holiday season our next guest has some great advice. >> you may have heard of pop chips and vitamin water, he is the marketing genius mibehind tm and now a guest on "shark tank." please welcome rohan oza joining us from l.a. rohan, good morning to you this. is your first season swimming with the sharks on the show. we have to know your personality. what kind of shark are you going to be? >> you know, i probably say i'd be a great white. i googled great brown. i couldn't find it so i'd probably be a great white but, you know, i'm an immigrant living the american dream and what's great about "shark tank," what makes it one of the best shows on tv we can pay that

forward. we can find an entrepreneur who has a dream, a vision, fund them to live their american dream and so a lot of families i feel across the country tune in because it's an aspirational show and people want to be entrepreneur. >> if people want to be entrepreneurs what is the three steps. you ka them the three ps to building a business. >> that's true. yes, so it's very simple. the three things, a product, package, and personality. it all starts with a great product. one of the phrases i like to use is permissible guilt. what does that mean? it means when a product is almost too good to be true. as a nation we love to have our cake and eat it too so when you have a product that tastes good and is better for you and has functional benefits right there you already are halfway to winning and then you build on to that amazing packaging. packaging is your best marketing friend. in the absence of big media budgets and big marketing dollars you have an amazing packaging, you can break through on shelves and don't be concerned about putting your ingredients on the front or your

story on the front. a lot of products that are not good for you usually have bad ingredients. we know which ones they are and put them on the back. when you have high protein, high fiber, probiotic, slam it on the front so in the shopping cart and got four seconds to make a decision, i look at the shelf, oh, that's a great package. it's got all those things in it, boom, it's into my cart and finally, have a personality. and that's just not the brand but your culture an the company. create a culture that people will thrive in and then have a brand personality that people bond with whether it's funny or smart or engaging. people want to bond with the brands they carry. >> and, rohan, i'm not sure if you can see our studio audience but we want to take a survey right now, unofficial. how many of you in our studio audience when thinking about building a brand would go to an expert? could you raise your hand? how many of you would go to an expert? i would say 20%. >> you said most. >> half. about half. >> my math skills are bad. >> i said 20%. he said 50%. so --

>> that is he an entirely different -- >> half of our audience members say they would go to an expert but from your perspective go to an expert or go it alone. >> you know, i actually -- i would like to defy the experts. surround yourself with smart people but defy the experts because if you're an entrepreneur with a new idea and a new product or a new brand that's breakthrough in print, then technically there are to experts. a lot of talking heads and they're great by the way. they like to report the news. they don't actually make the news. if you're an entrepreneur making the news and making something different go with your gut because the talking heads always like to say that's a great new niche idea and guess what, everything is niche until it's not. facebook was niche. uber was niche. smart wars was niche so today's niche brands are tomorrow's billion dollars brands. >> i take that personally, the talking heads, rohan. >> i apologize for that. i put money in the kitty jar.

>> rohan, see him on a new episode of "shark tank" this sunday at 9:00. coming up, who knows which toys are best? your kids. your "gma" moment brought to you by the frame from samsung, the most beautiful tv you've never seen. ♪

main break as well this morning blocking fowler street. on the highways things are good. tam? >> thank you let's go on out to meteorologist david murphy. when does it warm up? >> well it looks like it's going to be over the next couple of hours feeling a lot better. for now we still have 34 degrees officially in philadelphia. lots of sun, light winds but still cold to start out so grab that winder coat on the way out the door. later today 54 is your high, sunny milder than yesterday. tomorrow sun to clouds, warmer. 58 degrees the high. it will cloud up and there could be an afternoon shower. the front gets through and on sunday it's brisk and cooler again a high of 49 degrees. a mix of sun and clouds for the eagles and don't forget there will be blustery winds on sunday gusting as high as 30 miles per hour. so if you are headed to the birds game or anywhere else outdoors for a while, you wants to dress warmly because of those chilly winds. tam? >> thank you, david. that's it back to gma. we'll see you in 30.

>> we have storm tracker 6 live double scan showing that we are dry across the region. plenty of sunshine too. let's take a look at your 7-day and it's cool right now. temps in the 20s and 30s but we're going for a high of 54 later, so milder. so we'll get you into one of those soon. >> that would be great. >> tom cullen, everybody. paula, adrienne, back to you. >> they're talking swords and we're talking wedding gowns and weddings. our frugal fashionista series and every year thousands say yes to a dress that's usually white and that they are planning to wear only once. >> yeah, so we did this to increase the life span of that

dress you probably have in storage. we challenged three design schools to take this exact wedding gown and completely transform it into something you could wear again. lara spencer and i were outside our studio for the big reveal when the weather was a little bit warmer. take a look. >> leeanne marshall is winning waif reviews for her 2018 spring/zhuer collection. the "project runway" winner is coming up with red carpet gown, many from leftover fabric. >> we can always reuse it started out cool generally speaking we've got plenty of sunshine in store the rest of the way today and high temperatures will be a little bit milder. we're going for lots of sun today. milder highs 51 in allentown. 52 in trenton. 54 in wilmington and philadelphia and a little bit below that in millville and cape may and 52 degrees there. winds are light today. a little milder than yesterday. and then tomorrow, clouds will increase but it gets even milder with a southerly flow

approaching a front. probably dry along that front but if you see a little sprinkle or shower don't be surprised. i t the poconos has the best chance of that. your 7-day, today sunny light winds cool but better than yesterday with a high of 54. tomorrow sun to clouds with a high of 58 mainly dry and a front gets through and on sunday brisk and cooler. a high of just 49 degrees and with winds gusting as high as 30 miles per hour it will feel chilly. if you're heading to the eagles game, it's probably going to feel cooler and you want to put on layers and decent gear. on monday sunny and cool not quite as windy, 51. and then the slight dip into cooler weather ends on tuesday afternoon ation we get back up to 56. wednesday and thursday a high of 58 degrees. i'm david murphy with your 6abc digital report. have a great day. take a look at how efficient

marist college was in using as much of this dress as possible. this is all that's left over from the original putting them in the lead of that category of competition. lara, take it away. >> this was quite the challenge, leanne, you are a wedding dress designer yourself. what's the roo he jackson so far? i'm completely blown away by what our student designers were able to come up with. three completely different looks, cannot even tell they were once wedding dresses. >> i might have taken a peek and wow is what i can say. meet our judges, fashion expert, mr. joe zee in the house. >> ah. >> and "marie claire" editor in chief, anne fuller. you'll be judging the students on creativity, technical skill and the amount of original dress used as you just heard. marist college looking good. are you guys ready to see the final looks? >> yes. >> come on out, models. >> wow! >> wow. >> there is our first look.

montclair state university. unbelievable. our second look now marist college, looking good. >> i love that color. >> look at that. >> and finally thomas jefferson university, also with a three-piece. that was not a wedding dress in its former life. wow! ail i can say. >> our judges are about to reveal the winner of our frugal fashionista wedding dress revamp competition. we want to hear from the designers themselves first we start with john and gisele from montclair university. how did you come up with this look. >> we took our strengths which was more so on like the creative wild side. we wanted to go within avant-garde look and just tackled it head on. >> great neckline too. great job. congratulations. we move on to the ladies from marist who used nearly every bit of the wedding dress. welcome to gabriel and katie. let me ask you, your biggest

challenge in creating this three-piece look. >> we focused on using organic dyes which is hard to do with 100% polyester fabric so used turmeric root to get that and rubbing roses to get that beautiful purple color. >> great job. finally to thomas jefferson university. karen and tommy and tommy, talk to me about your idea for turning a wedding dress into like a beach fun party look. >> we wanted to make the wedding dress look not like wedding dress lace and turned it stuffed it places sewed it and made it into fun motives. >> your thoughts first on montclair university. >> first of all i think your dress is probably the most closest resembling the original wedding dress. i have to be honest i think it's almost a little bit too costumy, maybe a little too "game of thrones" but look at the success of "game of thrones." maybe it's a good thing. >> i'm going to ask you about the marist team. show everybody how that jacket comes off and then you've got

the shirt, you've got the little cute shorts. >> i think that's a really fun vest and you made a handbag. >> i was so surprised you use the most wedding dress because you really hid it. there must be so much depth and impressed with your technical skill. >> you heard it there and finally thomas jefferson university, this chic, lean look. >> oh, my gosh. well, first of all, there's nothing that resembles a wedding dress. i love how much you sort of repurposed that in a way that's completely done. that coat, that embroidery, i mean, anne and i got to thousands of fashion shows like that could be on a runway. >> it is my pleasure to announce the winner of our frugal fashionista wedding dress revamp and that winner is thomas jefferson university!
