Felt sorry for Susan Graver last night

just wonder — Sun, 21 Jun 2020 18:08:56 GMT

Did anyone else notice when Susan Graver tried to start explaining in detail the colors/prints in her tsv she was quickly talked over and shushed and the colors/prints NEVER got fully shown or explained? I gave up and went to bed knowing PJD would do an outstanding job this morning, which she did, as did Rachelle B. in the AM Style before Susan's morning show. I thought the TSV kick off was terrible; just a bunch of yacking and no real talk about each individual color(s) etc. I sure wish the hosts would understanding that we need/want to see more of the individual products when there are multiple offerings, and a good description and close up of each colorway, instead of talking about say the detail at the neckline that would look good with so many people zooming etc. these days. Susan always does such a great job of talking about all the vatrious colors in her prints, what to wear them with etc., but not last night - she did not get a chance.

Susan has the same script for every item she sells. I could list them, but I'm sure everyone knows them & they don't need repeated.

Susan Graver would be all new to me. I bought a tiered sleeveless dress recently and love it. I have a jacket of hers, but that's about it.

So it would all be new to me.

Susan's 'talking' is one of the reason I don't watch her shows anymore. She interrupts, talks over and mumbles while the host is speaking!! The only host I have seen get her in line is Jayne!!! Love Pat D, but she allows Susan to interrupt all the time...rarely gets through the item colors demo!!

Well that's a first, Susan usually talks over the host when they are trying to give details. Susan seems like a nice lady, but face it , she's a motormouth. 😆

That was weird last night - couldn't figure out what was going on - so I turned it off and went to bed.

I sometimes wonder if the video/audio connection between host in studio and product rep at home isn't quite right, like there is a time delay, when they're takling simultaneously.

Susan was interesting this morning with PJD. She stood at the base of a staircase while speaking with Pat. Interesting view - something different!

First of all I like Susan but she will talk on and on hardly taking a breath or letting anyone else get a word in edge wise. A year or more ago she was out of control and IMO the Q had to have the hosts rein her in. From what I saw last pm Susan was rambling on and on and Amy did a good job of reining her in and getting control.

I agree, Imaoldhippie. The problem seemed to be a vendor not allowing the host to do her job. A common condition that existed long before remote exchanges. Stop the babbling.

I felt sorry for Amy last night trying to keep the show on target. I tuned in to see TSV and it was like watching a train wreak you can't look away from but I did! I will not start a firestorm by critiquing her line but I can't watch or listen to her antics. And I certainly am not wearing polyester in the Texas heat no matter the designer.

I agree that Amy did a good job, I've often thought if I were a host paired with Susan, I would need a stiff drink after the show. 😆

Feel sorry for Susan? Save it! She's had steady employment with QVC for 34 years!!! Who has that anymore? She's working during the virus shutdown. Save your compassion for those that need it.

I looked at the program guide and 😲 Outta here.

I am convinced that Susan can't help the way she interacts when presenting her clothing. I am sure she's been told to stop the unnecessary commentary but if she hasn't been talked to regarding this, then she sure should be. I used to be an avid Susan Graver fan, seriously back in the 90's especially. After poor fitting clothing, cheaper polyester no longer resembling her successful lines and the constant chatter, dancing, prancing and singing I stopped watching her and totally stopped buying her clothing. And yes, I'm sure she's a wonderful woman but I can't take the unwillingness or inability to curb her impulses while on camara. It's as simple as that, and this is from a very long time buyer of SG.

I've heard several hosts say there is a delay with Skype so Amy should have known about it too and planned for it when she was conversing with Susan.......Susan likes to talk, and Amy is an attention seeking host---Not a good combination at all!!!

I watched the first ten minutes. Amy explained the top color choices, neck line and hardware colors. She had to be the one doing it as the tops were there with her. I thought she did a thorough job. Susan didn't appear to be having an issue getting a word in.

As I have said before you hear Susan once that is all you need to do. She repeats her "shtick" over and over and over again..

The fabric doesn't grab

Women tell me how much they like the fabric

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Pat knows how to handle her pretty well, and once I saw her with Leah, Leah took control and Susan had to take a backseat, it was great.

The only way to get a word in edgewise is to talk over her. Even then she keeps talking for many seconds after the host tries to take back control.

This is exacerbated by Skype and a transmission delay. I always find the issue to be on Susan’s side, not the hosts...including last night’s tsv debut.
