Please Stop!

Three Cats — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 22:52:12 GMT

Someone needs to tell these hosts to stop mangling every single food item they get their hands on. Bread, cookies, meat, chicken, cake, snacks, everything. Just tear it all apart like a two year old. This does nothing to make me want to buy anything. It's disgusting.

@Three Cats It's not going to stop until they can eat the food on set.

People complained when they ate the food and now they can't eat the food so the only way to show the consistency and fill presentation time is to use the food. So ... until they can go back to eating it, we are kind of stuck with it this way. But if it bothers you as much as you say, you can always limit your viewing time of food shows.

It helps me to see the texture of something when they break it apart. I can see how moist or dry, how crumbly or flakey.

Well I wish these posts would stop!!! The only way to show the texture, moistness, etc of food products is to do that! I wouldn't buy if they quit doing that. I need to see those demonstrations. I need to see that. They might as well just use fake food!!!

@Three Cats Tell us, how would YOU demonstrate and sell food items that you couldn't eat? I'm sure QVC would appreciate suggestions.

They need to "demo" it some way, even if it means demolishing the food products.

Some people are very --- I guess you could call it a form of food sensitive --- they can get very skeeved out about how food is handled on the set. How it is touched, how their hands look when they touch it, how they eat (when they did, how they handled their eating instruments, how much they put in their mouths and if they spoke with any food in their mouths and the list can go on and on.

This is just one example. I don't try to understand it, I just know the problem exists for some people. I've often wondered if some people watch it knowing full well how they'll react and have a weird pleasure of going all EWWW!!! LOL I wouldn't wonder except these complaints come up all the time. I think they keep watching rather than change the channel and therein is the draw of exquisitely divine horror.

@Three Cats Were you watching Gourmet Holiday today when one of the hosts and the vendor picked up the cod filet and held it in their hands.

This post has been removed by QVC because this post and its replies are argumentative

To the OP: I would recommend that you not watch the live food shows. Probably best for you to order from the pictures on line.

The one that really gets me is when they have steaks on and they keep pushing it and pushing it so the blood keeps seeping out. It makes me want to heave.

Does QVC really read these posts about the food shows? I see complaint after complaint about hosts eating the food, not eating the good, mangling the food not touching and squeezing the food. We need Forum on here for the food shows. I doubt if anything will change.

Honestly, if someone is that sensitive about food presentations, they should avoid Gourmet Holiday shows. Everyone has their threshold of what they find acceptable, and if the on-air demonstrations are too over-the-top for you, then simply don't watch. You can always check the Recently on Air section of the homepage to review what you missed.

When hosts would sample the products, there were endless complaints about them 'stuffing food in their mouths', 'chewing', 'talking with their mouths full', etc., and now that problem is a non-issue. I would have thought that complaints would have died down, but apparently not.

Turn the TV off or change the channel. Good grief.
