Pat !!!!!

IMO Pat has come along way since she now hosts her shows without her sidekicks.(silliness, laughing etc.) She has improved so much, with her and just the vendor. She is calm and lets the vendor speak.

I agree .. Pat is one of the better host & I like her on her own!

I like Pat with or without a co-host.

Was never a PD fan, she and JB were just not a good mix even though they thought they were. Pat is not as needy since the break up and Jayne is not such a wiseinheimer.

You probably are not going to care for my response.

I have not read a more condescending, nasty , and uninformed post! Pat James DeMentri is highly respected among hosts, has had her own shows for 30+ years, and is the ultimate professional. Until this post I have never read anything nasty about Pat.

Pat gives us the information we need in a soft, lovely manner. She is most gracious to the vendors. She does not talk over them. She is a lovely woman who has a lovely feminine way about her. I prefer her style over the other type of hostess. Pat does have a very loving heart and a plethora of fans, and many of her co-workers are personal friends. So, if she does act a bit relaxed at times when presenting with Jayne B., for example, it's probably because they are besties IRL. When Pat and Dan Hughes had the morning spot it was excellent. The two together were warm, self deprecating with a good sense of humor. We did not have to constantly hear about "looking sooo rich", how "posh" something was, or how an item had "the look of the Hampton's or Rodeo Drive". If I wanted that look I would be at Hermes or Gucci, not QVC, for Pete's sake. There is a lot of artifice in show hosts, Pat James is not one of those types at all.

She's much better alone than with JB or Dan

Truth is, all the hosts are better alone than with a buddy. They tend to stay on topic more when they are alone. Pat has been around for years, and I do enjoy her sometimes. Thank Goodness she sstopped with the "As Well" . Now if she would just learn to say "go ahead" insstead of "go head" I'd be happier.

I say no more double hosts. One is more than enough.

I thought Pat had been doing occasional solo shows for many, many years now. She's been there forever!!!! Agree with some others.......ALL the hosts do much better without a second host by their side.

I used to love it years ago when Pat dressed up once a month for the 18k gold shows. She was always very professional and she continues to do an excellent job.....

She is always well prepared and well versed in whatever she is selling.

I agree wholeheartedly that Pat is one of the best hosts on the Q. There was a time however, that life got in the way and there were some problems with what I perceived Pat's confidence and memory. It was during the time of her divorce, like her nerves were raw. Who could blame her? She had a harder time on air during all this and I remember it specifically. At that time, she started "pairing" with other hosts.

I'm glad to see her confidence return and develop and she's even better than she used to be...! She's a huge asset to QVC.

I remember those shows too and she did a great job and always looked elegant. I prefer Pat and other hosts hosting alone. The competition and silliness of two hosting is not enjoyable to watch.

@deedledeedeedle@ @missy1 If this is nastiest, most condescending thing you've read, I'd say you need to do more reading. One big change in Pat that I notice is that she is no longer constantly apologetic. She used to apologize over each and every tiny perceived wrong. She's more "go with the flow" now and much more relaxed. I've always thought of her as being an extremely nice person; now she's also a great host, maybe the best. Both Jayne and Pat do much better alone than together.

I've always liked Pat's presentations.

I could not have said it better. You are a long time viwer as I am and I think that makes a difference in perspective. I also remember Pat doing the morning show and the gold shows. She is always warm, welcoming, polite, informative, professional, and a pleasure to watch.

I agree about the "constantly apologetic." A little self-depreciating can go a long way. I also think the Q made good decisions with the morning show changes. It was time for changing things up a bit.

Patriot3 — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 13:09:11 GMT

Pat is a beautiful person inside and out. She is gracious, professional and "knows her stuff". Many, many more of these new teeny bopper hosts (and some old ones) who talk a mile a minute w/out saying anything and screech at you, can take a big lesson from her. Pat rocks!!

Re: Pat !!!!!

Mommy4Charley — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 14:34:58 GMT

I agree with you patriot. She is extremely patient, and lovely. I have always been impressed, but especially during a recent fashion presentation. when the vendor host was so enthused about the product, that it was uncomfortable to watch (I chalked it up to lack of sleep). Pat maintained her composer during the venders childlike outbursts, weird noises, taunting of the models, and unpredictable "dancing". Instead of changing the channel, I stayed until the end in support of Pat (I even bought something {some things})

Me too!! I have said before...she is the picture of a calm, cool and collected host!! I do like her better as a solo presenter though.
I agree with posters....no need for two hosts. Many just don't "play well together" and step all over each other!
