KIM GRAVEL NOW

Shanus — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 13:03:14 GMT

Definitely not the show I expected. She became another “host”. No new products, pot stickers, and of course the Beekman soap since they had the TSV and were in the studio anyway. She didn’t even feature some of her 5 Star beauty items. There were the same spiels louder and in your face. Disappointing for sure.

It could have been a good opportunity to introduce a “talk show”... interviews w/ beauty vendors, how they got started and the same with fashion and accessories people. Definitely a “miss” for me if they have other shows.

@bad4257 I’m more angry at myself than Q for watching and expecting more.

I was thinking the same thing! What a strange show! Kim is NOT a host. She didn't seem prepared and had to keep reading from the cards. Sorry, but I was not impressed. =/

I don't want to judge her show too harshley right out of the box. Of course, Kim will settle down and settle in as a host but I thinkt it takes time and timing. I do agree with the idea of having a talk show that features vendors and stylists and makeup artists and how they got their start and then maybe feature a couple of the products. Who would you like to seem Kim interview? I would love to have a conversation with Izaac (a real one not a shawn one) about some of his history as a designer and as a vendor. I would love to dive more into others too. I remember when Amy was new. She was giggly and a little nervous and not so self aware. She has smoothed out and does a great job. Kim will too. Let's show her some grace, shall we, ladies?

There is something too aggressive about her. I just can't watch. Something about her reminds me too much of Paula Deen's in-your-face act.

@Shanus

I caught the beginning of the show with the Beekman set and really wasn’t impressed by the presentation. I never did figure out who the woman was - I think her name might have been Amy...

I don’t watch hardcore sales for entertainment and wasn’t interested in the Tempations product she had next so I stopped watching. I did look at the list of products she had later and saw that I didn’t miss anything of interest to me.

I have no plans to try and catch future “shows.”

I'll have to find video of "Kim Gravel NOW" and see what I missed.

From what I read, all I'm expecting is some sort of live host&guest show, w Kim in the host slot.

I think she's a hoot, and this place desperately needs someone who deviates from the usual ho-hum and shakes it up.

I don't expect QVC to grant her much freedom initially though.

I watched it. But tbh, it needs work.

@willdob3 I think she introduced the women as her best friend for 20 years...supposed to be her sidekick for the show, but didn’t say much and added nothing.

@ShanusIt was just pretty much what I expected, so I actually wasn't disappointed. I knew I wasn't interested in buying anything and didn't even sit down to watch. Did my daily decluttering, finished my nightly ablutions, and checked in some minutes here and there.

Gravel's hosting personality reminded me of Kathy Levine's in a way. Although she didn't seem totally comfortable as a host, I think she could learn. That could mean a following. Probably not me - I'm quite sure I stopped watching KL a couple of years before she left QVC.

Since this is the first show hopefully QVC will change the format. I would like to see more talking and less product presentations. Kim did well, but it seemed to fast with all the product presentations. The show will catch on with a balance of talking, interviews and products.

Re: KIM GRAVEL NOW

Please change the format of the show to be more balanced; talking, interviewing and products.

i stumbled upon it after getting in last night. I lost interest after the 'potstickers' presentation was it? It's one thing to watch people with discriminating palettes eat such as on a culinary channel or show but this however was an entirely different thing. i hope they hit the demographic they were aiming for.
