Rachel Boesing- QVC

LaurenCats4 — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 01:32:10 GMT

I think Rachel Boesing does a fantastic job presenting fashions! I'm watching her w/ Susan G. right now and she's excellent! I know she's on Gourmet Holiday regularly and it's fine, but I really think FASHION is Rachel's forte, especially w/SusanGraver.

Rachel knows clothes. I think her personal wardrobe is my favorite of all the hosts. She has some beautiful pieces and she wears them so well.

Several years ago, Carolyn became ill on air. She asked for some water and maybe a chair. She was presenting fashion. Rachael came onto the set mid-show to relieve her and continued the programming flawlessly. I have great respect for her as a host and her ability to perform under duress.

Absolutely an under appreciated hidden gem!

She deserves the mega-star treatment that a few others have inexplicably (to me) been given.

I think she does a good job too. I enjoy her shows with Alberti.

Yes, she wears clothes very well. She has that slim figure to carry anything well. I can't watch her though. Her voice is loud, monotone and nasally. When she gets with Alberti and Kristen, it is like a bunch of silly middle school kids. Just my opinion.

I agree that Rachel does a great job with fashion, probably second only to Jayne Brown. She wears the clothes beautifully and it’s hard to believe she is well into her fifties. She could pass for ten years younger.

The only exception is when they pair her or any host with one or two others and they all start laughing and talking over one another. That’s when I reach for the remote.

@fingerlakesny My opinion as well. I think Rachel is beautiful and wears her clothes among the best on QVC or otherwise. She does her homework on every product. She never preens in the monitor to make sure she's giving the angle that shows her at her thinnest on air (the way some of these hosts stand and pose their leg is laughable at times). Plus, she seems very kind and unaffected by her TV job (unlike some who think they are reality show stars).

However, I usually cannot get through a complete show hosted by Rachel. She is extremely loud & boisterous; I categorize her hosting as heavy-handed. Yes, her pairing with either Kerstin or Alberti is a Run, Don't Walk moment for me -- yikes!

There's obviously a reason she doesn't host more shows that require a slightly more graceful touch, i.e, jewelry shows, and most fashion shows. But she's a great match for household items or kids toys. I'd definitely tag her as the #1 Fun Host for a party.

@Caaareful Shopper I like Rachel because she almost always feels real to me, not always forcing her enthusiasm to match that of another host with whom she has been paired.

I believe she could do a very graceful job with whatever she was asked to sell, but I wonder if she has a whole lot of interest in jewelry. I like her appearance and cannot remember ever paying any attention to her jewelry or even her lack of it

@millieshops I see what you're saying. But I don't think the hosts have the autonomy to pick & choose the shows they like the best. Rachel has been at QVC for many years now. QVC would absolutely know if she is a great seller of jewelry or high-end fashion. How about beauty products? Not many shows for her there as well, even though Rachel is quite beautiful.

Rachel wears clothes well and has a wonderful vocabulary, But I don't watch her shows, especially when she is paired with someone else. She is too loud and tries to be funny!

Re: Rachel Boesing- QVC

millieshops — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 14:06:24 GMT

@Caaareful Shopper I think that QVC does try to pair their hosts most often with the kinds of products where they are most comfortable, where their enthusiasm feels close to real.

Re: Rachel Boesing- QVC

Caaareful Shopper — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 15:14:40 GMT

@millieshops I agree, there's hopefully some choice and comfort consideration given to the host. But not to the degree that a host is able to completely avoid certain genres because they simply aren't into it. Just my opinion, since I don't work there.

Rachel does a great job especially with fashion, she's professional and well prepared..... The only shows I dont enjoy her as a host are the food shows....sometimes when she's paired with others the show sometimes gets a bit silly...but otherwise a good host

Re: Rachel Boesing- QVC

Jepster — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 01:28:34 GMT

I totally agree! I was watching a show she did yesterday - and she kept on track, never missed a beat, wasn't loud and obnoxious and I was sooo impressed. I have seen her before many times, but I just thought she was terrific.

I like Rachel, she does a good job with Fashion and also I like her with Food Shows, just not paired up with Alberti, but I think with a different host or by herself she is fine! I think she does a good job with The Home Shows as well. I have never seen her host a makeup/skincare show-it's probably not a favorite of hers.....Last night she did a Food Show for 4 hours with Jayne Brown, and she was fine! They both did a very good job.....Rachel has beautiful skin as well, just flawless!

I wanted to come back to say I watched Rachel subbing for Jane Treacy in last night's Shoe Shopping with Jane show last night. Except for a quite a few color mix-ups (which any host can have), I thought Rachel was marvelous!

She stayed on point, gave all the relevant information, and had fun. I enjoyed her show last night very much!
