Q Hosts Question

CindyDale — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 16:02:13 GMT

They all see so friendly towards each other. They almost gush at times. Do you think that there are some who truly dislike each other? Same for hsn.

@CindyDale I don't believe for a minute that they all just love each other like they pretend. I'm guessing there are a couple (no idea who) who can't stand someone else.

Not unusual in any company.

I feel sure those competent, conscientious hosts must look upon those who are not with some distain. I never thoroughly liked every person with whom I worked, did you? I imagine there's competition for prime work schedules and popular products

As in all work situations they've learned to keep their mouths shut and mind their own business.

@Love my grandkids

I agree with you. Probably the same goes with the relationships with the vendors. It also comes off really fake when the host gushes to the vendor "I LOVE you," etc. So phony. Like some have stated, the hosts are actors, or at least aspiring actors.

It's just human nature that not everybody will like everybody. Most of the times with colleagues, it's not a black and white (like or don't like) issue....You just learn to work with different kinds of personalities. I bet that's the case at QVC.

The constant "I love you" to each other is annoying, IMO. It becomes meaningless after awhile.

It must be like every other workplace. There is no way it would be different. It is all human nature.

I rarely socialized with co-workers outside of work. Despite the actions on screen, I would expect that it is true of QVC and HSN hosts and vendors.

As far as being "actors" they have to be to sell some of the products they have to--LOL!!!

@CindyDale How do you expect them to act ON AIR?

I was hoping Covid would put a stop to all the hugging and kissing, but it is back with a vengeance.

I am sure that it's like any other workplace. There are some co-workers that you prefer over others, but you must maintain your professionalism because that is part of your job as well.

Colleen Lopez on HSN says all the time how her and Amy Morrison are BFF's.

What would be thier motivation to be pretend super friendly with each other?

SALES.

That's all that matters...and they reel you in buy making it seem like one big happy family.

"You TOO can be popular and fun and free if you buy XXXXXXXX!!!

Just like us!!"

Of course, it's no different than any workplace. Backstabbing goes on everywhere.

In the 4 different places I have lived, I met my best friend in 3 of those towns at work. Probably some of the hosts have also met their best friend at work. As an adult that is a likely place to meet people when you move to a new town

Of course, we don't like everyone we work with, but I have liked most of the people I have met thru work.

I'm sure there are hosts that don't like each other. It's the same as actors on TV shows; some get along great, and some really can't stand each other. You never really know, because they're on air, on their best behavior.
