Inspired Style

Mother of 3 — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 14:06:09 GMT

With the announcement of the Monday night changes, no one said what would happen to the Inspired Style show. That show is my absolute favorite, way better than PM Style. I like Amy's interaction with the models and that the models are able to speak. It's like going shopping for an hour with your girlfriends. I hope QVC keeps this show and this concept going.

You have a point, they didn't mention anything about Inspired Style, yet.

Although I really like Amy and all the models, I grew tired of the Inspired Style format where everyone chatted and talked and giggled incessantly. I like fun, but a little of that goes a long way on a shopping channel. I felt it got carried away too often. More selling, less reality show entertainment, is my preference.

I so agree. I would love to see Inspired Style continue! I've always participated in social media for the IS show. I'd LOVE to see Courtney Cason come back to the main channel! She has the best style! She wore leather pants with a Quacker T - come on! that's frigging awesome

I love Courtney's style as well. Nothing I'd ever wear, but always fresh and interesting. She certainly rocked her leather pants with that Quacker top! However, Courtney is one of the least prepared hosts, and almost always relies too heavily on her gift of gab. During that same Quacker show, she got all her cards mixed up several times, the colors wrong, and Angel had to do most of the heavy lifting in the entire show. That is par for the course with Courtney.

She is wonderful on Beauty iQ because it's an entirely different format of shopping; she is still very funny and very casual. It fits perfectly with the very unstructured Beauty iQ presentations.

I didn't care for Inspired Style....tooooooo much talking and chattering. Amy is sweet, but always talks too fast, and too much. The show grew into a coffee clutch rather than a fashion show. I'd rather see more selling, less talking. When did these shows become entertainment??

Yesssss!!! I posted from the beginning when the former PMS host left that I thought the job should have been given to Courtney. And not for nothing but the former host had indicated she thought so as well. Not that it matters what she thought.

I posted in a couple of other threads that I think rather than just switching hosts around, they should have brought in different hosts. I could totally get behind Courtney being one of those hosts. To be honest, I could get behind a night of Courtneys and have Courtney Khondabi be a Monday evening host.

I agree with you @Lipstickdiva!!! I too would much rather see Courtney Cason brought back to the main channel AND hosting PM Style instead of the host they have chose for the new time slot.

It’s been said Courtney K. is taking over PM Style on Wednesday nights on Q2 instead of Leah. That will be a nice change IMO.

To me it’s really no surprise at all that Inspired Style went by the wayside and based on that not sure why this host is getting PM Style.

Not an Amy fan and never saw much in the way of products on offer that seemed 'inspired'. The few times I happened across the show, there was some benefit to hearing from the models, which was about the only thing innovative this show brought to the table. Like others, I do like Courtney Cason and think she might have something fresh to offer what is otherwise a rather stale lineup.

Love Amy's style and the way she wears clothes........but.....i can't watch her. She is to hyper and then she ...slows way down sometimes in her voice at times. It makes me crazy. She could be so good, she has the style and explains things well.....but it's just her fast and then real slow talking that ruins it.

And just no please to courtney. She has way to much of an attitude.

It would be great to see Courtney C back on the real Q, but I guess it's pretty unlikely.

On the attitude scale, I think she approximates none, in comparison to the big attitude displayed and thrown about by a Monday night host (no, not Amy).

Exactly my observations about Courtney on the Quacker show. She was always going off topic.
I never watched her presentations before for the same reason....never seemed prepared!! I don't get the Beauty channel, but I do not think Courtney has improved since she has been placed there.

Re: Inspired Style

Daysdee — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 23:03:09 GMT

I like Courtney Cason on the Q beauty channel. She never seemed prepared and made a lot of errors on the regular channel. I would change the channel, but I enjoy her and Elise Ivy on the beauty channel.

blackhole99 — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 23:19:05 GMT

I hope Inspired Style is out or if it isn't I hope the format is changed, and yes I would like to see CC host it. I don't usually watch Inspired Style because I can't tolerate the nonsense with the models and AS. Is all that joking and cackling really necessary, they really are not giving me any info that might help me make a decision to buy.

What are the changes? I rarely watch that segment.

I read on Facebook that LOGO is moving to 10 o'clock. That should make a lot of people happy.

@stevieb, @iTalia, if I remember correctly, Inspired Style initially started as a late night/overnight program hosted by Courtney and then they added a second one on Monday night hosted by Amy. The Thursday into Friday IS was dropped leaving only the one hosted by Amy.

@Lipstickdiva What I seem to remember is Amy doing the overnight IS until her first maternity leave. She was also LR's sidekick on both PMS and the LRS until she went out, at which point she was replaced by Alberti on LRS and Courtney on PMS and was not reinstated when she came back... The reason I remember this is because I was up one late night in winter and Lisa, who was already at the studio doing the TSV presentation, which she did most of, had offered to cover the overnight IS for a very pregnant Amy when a big snowfall hit West Chester. I was not a regular viewer of IS so don't know if perhaps Courtney took it over during Amy's maternity leave... Of course, none of this is gospel... I think the Monday night IS came to be when LR left and Shawn was given the revamped PMS show... I think the QVC powers that be have had Amy on their radar almost since she arrived, though I've never understood why...

@MandyG06 @Lipstickdiva @iTalia

Courtney Cason needs to stay on the Beauty Channel, she talks about herself too much, and not much product information is provided, and she likes to act silly...She did a Halston Show on Q2 awhile back and it was a train wreck...I remember another time she was co-hosting one of the fashion shows and she was going on and on about herself and the clothing designer was not amused at all....

There's more to being a host than looking good in clothes....product knowledge and watchability are a must

I'd much rather see Katie McGee or Gabrielle

I too cannot understand why Courtney Cason is noton the main Qchannel. I miss her very much. I do notget Q2. After all the new hires...nobody does it better than CC. I loved her with Lisa. Now there is a huge void. I do not think any of the newer girls have the class that LR and CC have.
