Carla Hall

Susan Louise — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 10:34:31 GMT

I really enjoy her quirky nature & quick wit...a really fun host. Sad to say, It's not enjoyable for me to watch an entire show of mixed products due to the foods products & cooking.

Before 2018, I used to watch her a lot on the cooking channel when we ate like the mainstream.

I'm hoping that she will become a full time host and have full shows of say fashion, beauty & home products and other/separate shows with her cooking & food products.

It's not enjoyable to use the remote depending on a single product in a single show. Passing on full shows is so much easier.

I may be of a somewhat small minority (that is growing), but still expressing MHO. Do I think the Q cares about a small minority on an issue like this.

No, of coarse not... JMO

@Susan Louise I agree to some point as I like Carla on food shows & like some of her products. I think the Q is showing some influencers/50 & fabulous to show that they might have a different way/unique way/story telling way to connect w/the customer. I don't think the Q is paying them per se but putting them on camera more might have customers buying their products/asking for more so in the long run it''s a win/win for Carla & her products.

@colleena I understand what you are saying, but I won't sit through watching her or any host cook/prepare/show foods we just don't consume anymore.

I haven't watched Gourmet Holiday or ITKWD in years either...

I read your original post a few times. So, are you saying QVC shouldn't have full cooking or food shows because you eat differently? It's a huge market for QVC and it seems to be the direction they're going in more and more so you may want to find other channels to watch. I also don't know why Carla Hall would want to give up her actual career to become a QVC host. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Tori3569 Not at all; unfortunately or fortunately, we buy alot of the food items the Q sells especially when we can send bill to/ship to for Christmas gifts & also for summer grilling. I live in an area with lots of food options but there are some things the Q offers that are unique enough/good enough that my family/friends love to receive again & again.

Who is she? Not enjoying her shows at all. Way too quirky!

Love Carla. Nice change for Q.

Carla Hall was a FABULOUS host. She knocked it out of the park. She was able to transition quite easily from one product to another and made sure she explained the product thoroughly. I am not sure if QVC is considering hiring her full time. I think she would make them a gold mine of money.

@EZ shopper Awful!! I was enjoying seeing the bag, and the vendor was great.

I might have considered the bag, but Carla was so overbearing I shut it off.

I don't know who she is either. Are we supposed to know who all these 50' women are?

Very nice way to describe her. I thought she was a mess. What really got me was when she stuck her hand in the bag of popcorn, brought out a handful then put it back in the bag.

I like Carla and her zany high energy style might breathe a breath of life into the mundane world of qvc.Yes I love the calmness of Marybeth and Pat and Jayne B but i also love the enrgy Rick or Rachel B bring. How much longer can we stand seeing David who I like, present the same old kitchen and food items ad nauseum, same with q2 ITHWM shows. Once in a while things need to be shaken up a little, bring some new into the same old same old. I think it sounds like many of us have grown tired of the incessant chatter of one host that seems to fill her time speaking of things othjer than the product While I can understand op's stating she has dietary restriction as i have for most of my life, I still enjoy watching others cook. I do not usually watch the gourmet holliday foods because for the most pasrt what they sell is so unhealthy except maybe the salmon.

There is eough on q for most to enjoy wathching something if you are into home shopping tv which most younger folks are not. A steady diet of watching qvc hours on end is imo just as unhealthy as that food they are selling. Pick and choose what to watch and find other things to get interested in, watch another channel , read a book, go for a walk, call a friend. Something.

Have no desire to watch her sell clothes.

Thought she was selling her cooking wares and prepared food as Rachel Ray or the other Chef's such as Wolfgang Puck or Emeril Lagasse did on HSN.

I enjoyed her on The Chew but I didn’t enjoy last night’s show. It’s obvious she’s comfortable in the kitchen & I would have liked to have seen more of her products. I’m not a good cook but my husband is. I liked the bowl that separated eggs & her grater was nice because it was flat.

She doesn’t have the knowledge about the other products like the eyeliner & the pop corn moment wasn't the best. But, I do like her & all her quirkiness. I hope QVC can develop a show that is interesting & different around Carla’s talents & not force her to sell the same old products.
