Lisa R. Rude

I can't watch her on the handbag shows. Most of the hosts announce the colors and let the product rep. Do the tour. Admittedly when Bethany first switched to Oryany she would get hung up on the details and miss the full tour , but just watched a video with Lisa butting in, grabbing the bag, interrupting and fully taking over. This woman is Machiavellian!!! Her hunger for fame knows no bounds and Q is going along for the ride. Well, I made It through my first 2 days without shopping....

Actually, I think her 'hunger' is for selling the product and by all accounts she's pretty successful at doing so. Some vendors lumber along through presentations like they have all the time in the world. It's the host's role to get the pertinent information out there, either themselves or by helping the vendor focus their spiels... Personally, more times than not, unless a vendor truly adds some value, which is rare, I can live without them.

sometimes the vendors are skipping the important info like measurements of the bag etc or the vendor might be repeating themselves into oblivion or the vendor has a case of "stage fright" and a good host will jump in to pick up the discussion.....no, for rude, jumping in when it's not necessary I'd vote for Jayne Brown, Jill, JRT or Sharon....

Most of the hosts are rude at some point in their presentations, it goes with the program. This is an old complaint and it hasn't gone away and nothing has changed. The beat goes on just as long as the profits continue and products sell.

However, we are entitled to vent with the hope someday product variety, some new likable hosts, different ways of selling items will return!!!!

The host is the conductor, the vendor is the orchestra, sometimes an orchestra without sheet music.

I think she is getting more rude lately.

Moreover, the hosts are taking direction from on high as to when to interrupt with the pointless, insipid updates. At least some of them are now apologizing for the too frequent interruptions... Really Q, you might consider letting folks at least finish a sentence. Believe me, speaking as a member of the audience, the updates aren't inducing nervous anxiety to a level that can only be quelled by me running to the phones to order... On the contrary, when I've had enough of your current frantic approach to presentations, I'm more likely to simply change the channel... Is that your goal? No? I didn't think so.

the Q Hosts are not the only guilty ones.....have you ever tuned into HSN.....they are just as bad when it comes to taking over the Vendors presentations....

Perhaps she gets paid by ""words-per-minute"" ... could that be why her salary is equal to some Fortune 500 companies. I truly believe these hosts and vendors have no idea how irritating and uninformative they are when both talk at the same time as well.

The hosts' compensation is based at least partially on the number of sales and the show's producer is speaking into the host's earpiece telling them how sales are going and coaching them on speeding things up, etc. Lisa is the top Q salesperson----there's a reason for it---and that, after all, IS her job and she does it well. Let's not forget this is a shopping channel, not a talk show.

I don't consider Lisa rude or fame hungry . I think she has product information that she thinks is important for the buyer and has a limited amount of time to get the info across. Some posters complain because not enough product info is given and some complain because TOO much info is given. There is no way to make everyone happy. I am not a particularly big fan of Lisa...especially her hair and makeup and do think her presentations get too giggly at times, but I cant fault her for giving product information that is necessary to make a good buying decision.

I agree...HSN has the worst hosts. Take a listen, they say weird insignificant things, consistantly. When the HSN hosts take over they are lost for words, at least QVC are well trained and articulate.

Really? Where did you hear this, and why would you possibly care? Are you saying you're interested?

Uh huh and that particular speculation has exactly what to do with this discussion...?
