Vendors on set

bestday — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 15:03:46 GMT

Before everyone jumps on me, this is my opinion.

I liked it better when the vendors were remote. In fact, I think some of the vendors, like Gary, look uncomfortable as do some of the hosts.

I was just thinking the same thing. The vendors on set look like they are getting in the way.

Also, if I were a vendor and had the option of staying home and working remotely I would stay home.

I think some of the vendors learned to do well remotely. For me, Gary would be one of those, so if he's more comofrtable from home I'll still tune in if I want to see what D&Co. is offering.

Some of the vendors and reps, I don't like at all remotely, but I can easily tune out if I want.

I thought Gary was having a lot of fun.

Gary is not a vendor, he works for QVC. I have never seen him look uncomfortable while presenting the merchandise.

I mentioned him only because the OP said she thought he looked uncomfortable. And I didn't think he did.🤷‍♀️

I was just thinking how much I enjoy having Gary and Carolyn together. I could live without Nutsy but that's a different issue. Carolyn is a pro and Gary really knows his line. For D&C, I like Gary to be in the studio. There are other designers I'd like to see back on set like Dennis Basso and Stan Herman. They're fun and engaging to watch, giving live presentations a boost. They make presentations more interesting for me. I completely respect your point of view. We all have our own preferences.

I'm happy vendors are back. Looked too artificial with remote vendors. Colors did not show correctly. Too much switching back and forth between screens and no real interaction between vendors and hosts. Did not look like live presentations and they were often not sure who was supposed to be on air.

I was just clarifying for those who might think that he is a vendor. I was agreeing with you about his demeanor! I would think that given the camaraderie between he and Carolyn, QVC may have encouraged him to be back in the studio.

There tends to be a lot of idle, unnecessary chit chat when the vendors are there in person. Kerstin was on with somebody recently and they spent way too much time talking about their kids. I'd be just as happy if they were still remote. I'm not interested in Kerstin kids.

After seeing some back in the studio, I was surprised that I found myself thinking that I preferred them being remote.

Gary is not a Vendor he is an employee as are most.

I didn't watch so I can't address whether Gary looked uncomfortable or not...

but I agree,

I see no sense in dragging them into studio. Waste of gas, time and energy IMHO.

Remotely is good enough. I rarely base my purchase on what the host OR vendor say anyways!

Remote works just fine for me. I agree that some of the vendors returning seem a little uncomfortable. Amal with AnyBody joggers does a great job from home. She's animated and comfortable. On the set she looked tense and not herself.

They've been off site so long they will have to get used to being on the set again, working closely with the hosts. But, why, if they have a good set up elsewhere. It's just extra stress and cost for those having to travel.

If any vendors lok uncomfortable on set, could it be they haven't been there in years? I'm also not used to seeing them there yet, but will get used to it. I prefer hearing what they have to say...no video faults...with all the info, colors, etc.

@THETOT while true Gary is not a vendor, but an employee of QVC; it is not true that most are. The rest are vendors or product reps (brand ambassadors). They are not QVC employees.

I find it kind of hard to get used to this again, having the vendors and reps back on set in person. Personally I like it.

I love having vendors back on set. Less interrupting by most of the hosts
