SICK OF TEMPTATIONS

jenjen1127 — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 16:08:48 GMT

Well maybe it's not Temptations I'm sick of but I am so tired of Tara McConnell contnuously being on. It's like it is the Tara McConnel station. There are other brands of stoneware besides Temptations that people would like to see. The price on Temptations has gone up so much over the last couple of years that I would rather see more of a selection.

You've got my vote......I'm not watching the Sunday show - or Monday or Tuesday. So tired of the same people.

I'd like to see some other brands as well, but in reality Temp-tations doesn't get that much air time anymore.

Lucky if there is one or two full hour shows per month, and often those are in the middle of the night.

An offering or two on In the Kitchen each week, and maybe showing one or two items during the month on some other cook show.

Certainly doesn't get the hours on end that Susan Graver does.

I agree .... if they put Temp-tations on once a year it would be too much for me!!!!!!! 👹

Totally agree. The prices have greatly increased and Tara's personality is now one of a snoot...lol. She has changed and her new attitude is not ver appealing. I always turn to HSN when she comes on.

personlly, I don't mind Tara or Temptations.

I think it is a case of "familiarity breeds contempt" ...the more ften people see someone, or something, the more they find that they do not like about them..It happens with so many celebrities, hosts and vendors..

Great example is Food Network..Shows that were once looked forward to are now skipped over..

In my case, I'm glad QVC watchers know about Temptations because I had a yard sale yesterday and most shoppers said "oh I ❤️ Temptations" -- I sold ALL my unused pieces as I changed over to another color and got rid of some which were in sets and I wouldn't use.

My pieces were the Original OW and FL design before Tara changed to those horrible stripes around the edge (which are terrible painting IMO).

I did the David 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 When I sold it all -- of course many of my pieces were bought when Temptations first came to Q at reasonable prices, I got my $$$s worth on re-sale. (And I never used them for baking (serving only) & had the original insert directions)

I have a few pieces of her older holiday design - snowflakes and holly. I use them only for serving. I would never take a chance on cooking after seeing all the disasters here on the board. Probably woldn't use them for cooking anyway. I don't like Old World or Floral Lace at all, so until and unless she changes up her patterns, I won't be buying - in fact, I won't be watching.

Not that I was buying, but the quantity of color choices I notice are unbalanced. Why bring all these star shapes in too many colors, and not focus on the one more so, fireworks in huge quantities, when it sold out before being presented? I'm sure there were many disappointed.

I don't mind Tara or the other woman, everyone has their own personality, but these presentations are way too long because of having too many choices of colors to show and it's repeated and repeated.

Oh, I am tired of the 101+ ways of macaroni and cheese in all products.

I agree... I really don't like the stripes. I know you have to change things up to keep people's interest, but that wasn't a good change.

I'm not a fan either. I find it profoundly unattractive. For me, the best way to go if I'm watching a kitchen show is to just watch it semi-live so I can FF through those segments.

I will either watch another channel on the other tuner, or watch something I've already recorded, then check in after 30 minutes and RW to 30 min back and watch it that way. For each presentation I don't like (temptations is the main one for me, or KA) I just FF through that one and onto the next!

I personally cannot stand the woman as she smugly peddles her junky dishes and bakeware.

Ultimately, it does not matter if posters here are "sick" of the product, the presenter, or the presentations. The fact of the matter is that each time the product airs thousands of the product fly out of QVC.

Since QVC is in business to make money rather than entertain us or alleviate our boredome, and QVC clearly makes fr more money from those interested in this product line than those who complain about it here, do not expect the programming to change. If you do not want to see it, change the channel.

I don't think that's the issue from what I'm reading. It sounds like people are already changing the channel but they miss something else making good use of the time QVC spends on Temptations.

I don't like it. The patterns are too busy, and it's made in China. All of the bakeware I buy is made in Italy or Portugal.

Not everyone can afford that. I bet cooking the same food item in Tara's from China and yours, will come out basically the same.

I have an old burnt 11x 13 Command Performance pan from hsn 10 + years ago, and this made from China pan is the one that cooks food the best.

I find it in Marshall's, and it's less expensive that the cheaply made Temptations or anything else made in China. I've NEVER had and issue with these pieces cracking, crazing, or having burn marks. I've had many pieces for 10+ years, and NONE of it is burnt. Obviously, it's much BETTER quality than Temptations and Command Performance.

Really!!

This is a shopping channel and temp-Tations is awesome. You don't have to purchase or watch but really how rude and she is so sweet not at all heavy sale these are the most usable reasonably priced beautiful ceramic out there and I am so delighted they sell them and personally don't think she is on enough. The brand has been a staple for Qvc for a very long time while many other brands have come and gone.

Again this is a shopping channel this is what they offer and do it well. No reason to be negative I don't this forum is where people vent there feelings it's a real turn off.

This is supposed be informational and inspiring not negative not your personal website.

i think it is just so disrespectful to talk about anyone that has worked so hard to bring quality products to the customers for so long.

Wow just can't BELEIVE some of the comments on here. Did you ever hear if you can't say something nice then just don't say anything at all!

Sad

I seriously doubt it. Just like what others continue to complain about. What would they complain about? I don't even know when the last time I sat and watched, and I love mine.
