Over-the-top "I love you'" and hugging

Cool in Ohio — Sat, 11 Jul 2015 12:03:19 GMT

I just replied to another post about the hugging, "I love you's" and kissing that goes on between hosts and vendors. Some hosts are worse than others. At times, it is over the top! Why is this necessary? I have seen some hosts get a little carried away, Shawn and Amy especially on PM style. The interaction between Isaac, Lori, etc... you LOVE each other??? LOL Once Amy hugged Chaz and of course had to say her "I love you's" and kissing.. The hug was just a little too much (lengthy and inappropriate). I really don't want to see it; I love some of the shows but too touchy-feely at times! Please do this at home with your loved ones and friends!!!!!

Perhaps they really do love one another.

You mean as having an affair?? On the air? You would not find this type of interaction in the business world. So why do we have to put up with it on QVC? You would not greet a sales rep coming to your company this way. It would be considered SEXUAL HARRASSMENT. As I said, I have seen SOME hosts get a little too carried away; it was really INAPPROPRIATE!

No, I think you can truly love people, be friends with them, and leave it at that. And truly enjoy being in their presence. Even when conducting "business".

Oh for Heaven's sake - what is it to you who hugs who on a TV show or for how long? What impact does that have on your life? Once again- a mountain oiut of a molehill.

I work in a very large corporate environment with offices around the U.S. When our VPs come into town, we do indeed hug. You can hug a person and still be professional. It is harassment only if one party is uncomfortable with it.

It seems ridiculous to me. I have seen vendors get a hug and kiss, present an item, leave and then come back minutes later and get the hug and kiss all over again. I like that Jill just introduces the guest without all that fake "stuff"

I think it may be time for you to turn off the TV if you need to complain about this. Seriously.

There is very little we can discuss on these boards now. Nothing wrong with the OP stating her opinion about something she sees on the Q.

I think entirely too much time is wasted with the huggy, kissy, sweetie stuff between hosts and vendors. And I truly appreciate it when the two greet each other nicely and continue with their jobs.

It wouldn't seem so phony if we didn't all knnow that they have seen each other earlier in the green room, and obviously have been together to go over the items that are to be presented. Not like they haven't seen each other in months.

I especially dislike all the "honey, baby, sweetie, love" stuff that goes on with some of the hosts. This is the business world, folks - not a high school reunion.

Thank you for the support! I am mainly referring to the OVER THE TOP greetings. And it happens often! And it's not ALL hosts of course! I have never seen hugging and kissing in the workplace. Or saying "I love you". I will continue to watch QVC; I will not turn the channel. But can we please cool it with the over-the-top interactions????

Re: Over-the-top "I love you'" and hugging

RACHB - Do they say "I love you" and KISS??? I don't think so!

I completely agree. I enjoy seeing what is inside some folks' heads.

Thanks for sharing an opinion. It does take some courage!

Wow ....... Clearly, this really upsets you. There's a very broad range in the formality or informality with business associates ...... and that specific corporate culture has a lot to do with it.

Sorry this disturbs you so much. Personally, I really don't care.

Yes, I have seen SK, on many occasions, repeat several times in a presentation to IM "I love you". He is much more restrained.
I will give SK credit though for her respectful manner towards the Italian shoe person on Fri. He was obviously struggling with English and she was gracious to him and patient. She merely shook his hand at the end. It was a side of her that was good to see.

I have to agree....I do not like the hugging /kissing as each vendor comes and goes.....especially when they are on multiple times during a single show....and the I love you needs to go, too....This is not a Soap Opera...its a selling company....you don't see the male hosts hugging and kissing....nor saying I love you...(at least I never have)...

ITA! So refereshing when I watch HSN that they are friendly but professional with each other. The hugging and kissing on QVC...when did it start? Was it a conscious decision and orders for the hosts? Gosh...I hope not!

Yesterday Shawn greeted the Italian vendor from Franco Sarto with a kiss on each cheek. She said she knew she needed to give two kisses because he's Italian. I was just sitting there thinking, "Could you please just skip all that and talk about the shoes?"

I missed the two kisses on the cheek, wildcat fan. But for the remainder of the time I thought she was respectful to him. He seemed so uncomfortable.
