Sure wish Jamie would slow down. I don't remember her always talking at this rapid rate!

Not only is she on hyper drive.....she constantly says "um" and it's becoming obvious she's talking faster than her brain is processing what she wants to say. SLOW down I agree! This "um" nonsense is as bad as Isaac and Shawn's ten thousand "like" this or "like" that. ugh. I understand it's hard to talk on TV and all that jazz, but they are paid dearly TO be ABLE TO talk on TV FOR that long. It's annoying when trying to view a product and find out more about it, when there are more "ums" or "likes" than actual descriptive words about the product!

It seems like some hosts and vendors, pre-show time, are consuming copious amounts of Red Bull in the Green Room!

You DO have a point Stray! I wasn't thinking in those terms, but I can be persuaded to for Isaac, because I think he probably does take a moment (as he likes to say) to formulate what's going round in his mind For Jamie and her "um" ... that is quite the um different um story

Ugh. She is completely unwatchable. Good products, though.

Today Pat would tell her how much time she had left on a particular product, so maybe that is why she talks so fast at times. She is different, but passionate about her products. They were going too fast for me, because they would go on to another product when I wasn't done with the previous product.

I feel her presentations are very repetetive, so I usually skip the shows. ". . .worked with plastic surgeons. . .bye bye redness. . .bye bye pores. . .je ne sais quoi. . .airbrush in a jar. . .comes with a plush amazing brush. . .contains real silk. . .great color. . .hydrating. . .lasts all day. . .gives look of light to your skin. . .supersize. . ."

I really like her a lot and enjoy her presentations.

Mally does interesting makeup presentations. Smashbox rep., Holly, did a great job. This IT lady isn't so hot. Could care less about this IT stuff. Sorry Janey.

I would have to say this about sums it up, lol. Also the same repetitive demos- squinting of eyes, jamie takes off her makeup and shows us her redness and covers it up (never had her powder foundation cover up my MINOR redness by my nose I'd occasionally get so can't imagine it covers up her very bad redness so easily- we must not have the same formula, lol). But then again, almost all reps do the same thing over.and over.and over. She really is no different.

I have stopped watching her presentations well over a year ago because I no longer use her products since they don't work well for me and she doesn't offer any interesting tips and tricks (which I don't expect her to since she isn't a makeup artist). I still watch some Mally, and Laura geller shows and Bobbi brown shows even though I don't buy their products really anymore because sometimes they offer some interesting tips and tricks but they too say alot of the same spiels. Josie Maran is really bad at doing the same demos as well.

I have to agree about Jamie. She gets quite annoying. Talking too fast and loud. Is she trying to compete with Mally? Lol. With the way she talks during the presentations, it's hard to believe she used to have a job in tv, although it does seem to make her very qualified to be a current QVC host. Fit right in with the other fast talking loud mouths with unpleasant voices/ habits.

She seems like a really sweet person. I wish she would let her hair down, don't understand why she wears it in such an unflattering way.

Completely unwatchable - really hard sell. IMO, I don't think her make-up looks good on her or the models.

I noticed Jamie saying Ummm, MUCH too often. Several times in a sentence & yes on speaking very fast. I don't normally even watch her, but left it on today. She was quite annoying after only a few minutes of umm, umm.

i tuned in this afternoon and had trouble following what pat was saying, not jamie.

I like her, but it was a bit fast. I think she is very sincere.

I enjoy watching Jamie as well. She seems like a real person who has a passion for what she does and I am sure with the time constraints, she is just trying to pack a lot of information into the time they allow for the item she is presenting.

I've been looking for a reliable concealer, so I've been watching more of the beauty shows recently. Even though her Universal Eyebrow Pencil was horrible for me, I didn't want to discount her other products. I'm rarely turned totally off by a host's or vendor's odd phrases or sub-par presentation style.

However, I cannot hear Jamie's "je ne sais quoi" one more time. Some things irk me, and some things don't -- I'll own that. She's probably a lovely person. But I'm already wary about her other products, so I decided to stop watching her presentations.
