Gasping Presentations

Given the tedium they're now presenting repeatedly and most of the time, I guess they have to feign excitement and hope that we fall for it... Note to Q: We don't.

Gasp!

ITA. NOTHING they sell is worth gasping about!!

Probably to gain our attention so that we buy, buy and buy more. I gasp too when I see their prices now!

Actually, the shipping makes me gasp!!

I think they have to take the Breathy Gasp Class once a year.

I think some hosts just talk too much and too fast and lose their breath.

Amy does the "WOW" thing over and over on all cosmetics, like she is seeing the product for the first time. Not only is it a "WOW" but it is a very breathy "WOW"

Do all of the show host's think we don't notice this?

I have said many times that all of the host's should sit down and watch their presentations, maybe some of this annoying stuff would stop if they saw themselves. They also need to watch other host's to see what dumb things they say and do.

Why???? Why must a host GASP (a very exaggerated gasp at that) when an item is presented? Several hosts do this, but Jane Treacy is the worst. I have at times came to the TV from another room thinking something was wrong. This adds nothing to the presentation but does distract the viewers. Thanks.

actually it does "add something"....it brings you to the T.V. to see what the gasping is all about....that's all the Q. needs....is your attention...then they hope you will make a purchase..may not make you buy....but I bet it does many of their other viewers....

not being critical of your post...just giving you my "spin" on why they have the Host gasp over something I am sure they have seen and sold dozens of times....

I find the gasps so phony....

How about when Leah has to say "WOW....." especially when she's doing a beauty show? She continuously does this when they show a before & after shot, doesn't matter what line she is presenting. The vendor will start to give those stupid clinicals, as in "after 4 weeks, 85% of people saw decreased fine lines...." and Leah will start with the WOW. Don't even get me started on Mary Beth (who I do like) but with those breathy wows even when selling a vacuum. These people need to audition for Broadway.
