ITKWD

So many numbers being spewed out. #'s sold, #'s left, dollars saved. The only numbers I want to hear on Sunday are the football scores.

@MrSour

Then you can easily just watch football instead of QVC, no?

LOL! sounds like he's reading the highlights off the the financial spreadsheet updates. Well...I suppose it gives viewers some noise to "tune out" while thinking about whether you're interested in buying or not.

Sadly, it's the constant updates of number of colors left, that have finally turned me off from watching ITKWD altogether. If I'm at all interested, I just check the website for items recently aired. If I happen to miss out on some item or color that sold out, then so be it.

That’s their job... create excitement, emphasis on you’ll be missing out if u don’t purchase and then ultimately, push the Merch out the Q warehouse!

I know a lot of people think you're "sour" lol, but I think you're funny.

There's only one reason he does it. Each & every time those numbers are mentioned, there's an appreciable uptick in sales. It's been mentioned for years -- including in an article in the NY Times.

Channel surfing during an ad hit on David doing that silly happy dance over a strawberry cheesecake. Can't believe he hasn't deep sixed that foolishness.

Thank you. I realize a lot of people take QVC seriously just trying to put a little life into this blog. I enjoy reading the responses as I know exactly what they are going to say before they even write it. I just laugh. But then you got this one gal who has got more fluff than a marshmallow and I just shake my head.

@bobby5 , @MrSour

Who are all of these people you know who thinks the OP is "sour"???

They're certainly not here on this thread.

@KingstonsMom

I'm just saying I enjoy MrSour's humor/sarcasm. But I think there are some who don't "get it" by the way they respond. That's all...no big deal.

Does David have asthma or something? After every sentence he takes a breathe that is very noticeable. Anyone else notice this?

He does what is required to hit those sales numbers.

Some hosts gravitate to the colors available and numbers sold. I guess a happy medium is best for those viewing.

He's terribly overweight. Very unhealthy. Hope he takes care of it.

Respectfully disagree with those who say this is what the hosts job is.

I feel the host job is to PRESENT THE PRODUCT. Not give status updates. If a product sells out, it sells out. These tactics have annoyed me for a very long time.

Why were you watching ITKWD and not football? So many posters here with no sense of humor and negative outlook on life. Very sad.

They are SALES people. It's their job to use different sales tactics such as quantities available, etc. If it has annoyed you so much why are you watching?

The hosts' job is to entertain.
