New Host Pairing

rms1954 — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 17:01:52 GMT

"It Takes Two" with Sandra B and Mary D. I will not watch this one as I don't care at all for either one of them. Can't imagine them together. Looks like there is a lot of pairing of hosts to come.

@rms1954 I hate the pairings. Go back to one Host and cut your prices QVC. Can't wait to see the quarterly report. I bet it won't be good.

Especially since most vendors are back in the studio.

Pairings are not needed unless it's Gourmet Holiday. Other than that, it's a waste.

Oh dear - I watched these two hosts a few days ago in a Quacker Factory show with Angel. They were awful - screeching and loud. Angel does better on her own.

There must be a reason why QVC is doing this. It's possible more viewers like two hosts. Maybe, they find some hosts boring when they present alone.

It works OK when hosts can take turns presenting the products, but it turns into a talk over each other silly fest when all three are involved.

I doubt QVC is reading this, but I like what QVC 2 does sometimes--they have the host, and then they also have the vendor (or a representative of the vendor) to talk about the items. However, QVC 2 doesn't have the models for clothing. I like seeing the people in realtime showing how the item will look. I hate when they show a model off the website. That doesn't help me. Don't really need two hosts getting together and talking over each other. That doesn't help either.

If I can go further, Isaac's show (I think Friday??) was perfect. Of course, I like to watch Isaac's shows anyway. He seems like such a fun person. It was Isaac, Jennifer, and the models. That was alright. Enjoyed the entire show.

That pairing works for me. Even though I think one host is sufficient on most shows, I really like Mary and Sandra is okay.

Angel is another one who was around in the "calm" days of the Q and it shows in how she conducts herself. No yelling and acting stupid.

I like Mary a lot whereas Sandra us a big snooze, no personality. Maybe they're hoping Mary will give Sandra a little life, wake her up. It seems to be working as she has a big smile.

Not a fan of either of them.

Love, Love, Love Sandra!

The pairing is great.

I think she reels in Mary's silliness.

Soooo true! I kept hoping the screechers would take a cue from Angel and calm down but no such luck.

Amen! I find it interesting that the topic is the hosts. What were they SELLING???!!! If the products were of interest, IMO, it would'nt matter who the hosts are. I do not understand those who watch QVC for "entertainment." HSN does very well with only one host most of the time. QVC should do the same.

Solely an entertainment viewer here.

My decision.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I enjoyed Mary and Julia last week on the "Style On The Go" program (last Tuesday?). I'm not a Sandra fan when she works alone; however, she seems to be more fun today with Mary. I love Mary - especially her shows with Kim Gravel. I do think QVC is trying to entertain us while we shop. It works most of the time!

LindaSal — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 19:56:15 GMT

I like them both. I feel Sandra has a calmness about her that comes through with her presentations. I guess it might just be the mood we are in at the time. I happen to think Mary can be very funny at times, especially with Kim Gravel. To each his own, we all have our "can't watch" host. It's RB for me and some love her, so there you go.

Re: New Host Pairing

@LindaSal Right on the money! I am one of the biggest RB fans, and I find both Mary D and Julia C are kind of irritating. No reason other than sometimes you just feel like you don't go for someone's sound, or their demeanor etc...

We all have our preferences and can watch the ones we like! No reflection on any of the hosts as people. I think that Dan seems like a really nice, kind, and (occasionally) funny guy.......but he is just Sominex to me! Nevertheless, I am sure he has his legions too!

@rms1954 ........I can take Mary alone most of the time, however, dump Sandra. I can not listen to her host anything. I know, my bad.
