Didn't watch the show that you are referring to, however your topic question can be applied to the Host in the Simply Stunning CIJ show . After the Host announced the garland came in 5 ft lengths, The same Host asked Jeanine Graff , how would we know how much garland to buy for our mantle or staircase ?

Well, anyone hear abt utilizing a measuring tape to know how many 5ft garlands they will need to decorate

@rms1954 lol I thought the same thing! One pair was definitely lighter than the other which was much darker. IDK, maybe there was something on her card that threw her.

If only hosts were perfect in a perfect world.

One of the aspects of hosting any of these shos is that from hour to hour and day to day way too many details change for almost anyone to hold onto without an intensely great memory. In addition, it's not just the host and not just the producer who touch things and move them around.

For about 10 years of my teaching career, I regularly shared a classroom with one or even two other teachers. One year I had to show up in 4 different rooms a day, most years fortunately in just 2 or 3. Some years I worked from a rolling cart because I had even no desk of my own.

That experience added a whole major stress to a job that already had lots of moving parts -- and probably makes me more empathetic with the hosts than I most likely would be if I hadn't lived through it.

If it was CK, and the jeans. She was confused. she said there are a lot of color choices, so I'll just let the rep (don't know her name) tell you. The rep said there are two choices.

Having seen the presentation, it appeared to me that more than 2 colors were listed on the host's card while only 2 on the rack caused the confusion.

That's the distinct impression I was given from this very uneventful non-event.

@Imaoldhippie @millieshops

I dont think its too much to ask for a host to be competent in the job they are getting paid for, its called show preparation..Too many dont seem to do their prep work and know the products in the show and apparently do not attend the Production Meetings some of the hosts talk about.....Would you go to an incompetent chef at a restaurant, or a car mechanic, financial investor or computer repair place, or be satisified with an incompetent nurse or doctor???--"they are only perfect in a perfect world"...that just doesnt resonate with me..it shows the host's lack of preparation for their job ..🤔

@manny2

These days CK is more focused on flipping her wig back and forth over her shoulder, or petting it......or talking about vacations, music or anything other than knowing the product and the product details....Its a shame because she used to be a very good host, now it seems the focus is having fun--and the heck with the products and making sales for QVC....🙄

I agree @Spurt She is always playing with her hair. Making sure each piece is right were she wants it. She appears distracted. During one show she actually stood in such and awkward position I don't know how she did it.

She reminds me of Lisa Robertson. Lisa would get so distracted looking at herself in the monitor she lost her train of thought.

FYI I don't know why the font came out this way.

Sounds like a reasonable, viable plan.
