Mary on ITKWD

jboozer — Sun, 16 Jul 2017 17:41:18 GMT

I just have to say that I really like Mary. I think she is sweet and enjoyable to watch. But, WHY in the world is she stepping in for David on a food show when she can't eat most of the items??? I know that many other hosts have filled David's shoes when he's out, and I find it hard to believe that the only person they could find for a food-intensive show is the one person who won't eat most of it. I just find it so distracting. All I'm hearing is how good everything looks and how jealous she is that she can't eat it. UGH!

I don't mind that she can't eat the food. At least then I don't have to wonder whether she's serious about how good it tastes. I've never heard a host claim the don't care for something. Besides, anything that eliminates those stupid yum-yum faces and dances of David's is a plus in my book. And I like David.

It is a shame they seem to have mostly gluten containing foods this afternoon, and Mary can't taste anything. I feel self-conscious for the presenters. But then again, are we really going to buy a super expensive cheesecake or croissant based on what the host says after tasting?

I am susre you know she cannot eat gluten, so many of the things she doesn't taste aren't gluten free.

For me, watching a food show where the host doesn't grab and gobble is pure pleasure. The yum yum facs doesn't encourage me to buy. They are only done to encourage people who are impressed with that sort of thing to buy. I can decide for myself by hearing about a product whether or not I want to purchase it. A dancing dude of 50 doesn't convince me that something would get my stamp of approval in any way. In fact, it usually puts me on a fast track to the remote.

MORE MARY, PLEASE!!

I totally agree! The vendors (esp the new ones) are not happy and you can see the awkwardness during the presentations. Just a very odd show today.

I like Mary....she reminded me that if I am tempted to try a food item, I remember the people in my family with food allergies and I don't

Since all of us know any host will say the food is wonderful, I found it refreshing not having to watch a host gorge on TV. David comes off as just wanting to eat as much free food as he can, tacky in my book! I really don't like seeing him taking oversize bites on air! He's suppose to be taking a taste, not eating his last meal! It was also welcome break to actually be able to listen to information about the product without rude interruptions to say what flavors are offered, or how many are left. David comes off as he's just trying to exert control over the vendor in the way he does it. I have seen times he was actually rude to the vendor doing that. I also didn't miss hearing David sniff loudly in the background when he has to let someone else speak.

Please keep David and his mother in your prayers. She had a very bad fall last night and broke her arm. David rushed to be with her. 🙏🙏🙏

I really enjoyed the show today. Mary was great. This is only the 2nd, cooking show I've watched in months. Not really enjoying David anymore. To much silliness. More Mary. Need to change hosts around. IMO.

David wrote that he was called away in an emergencyin NC with his mother.. she broke her arm badly in a fall and had to have surgery. MARY the angel that she is, is filling in for him.

Frankly I don't get why so many have to make it public knowledge about who does not like David's eyeroll or happy dance, who does not like Mary not eating, why is Mary standing in for David, who can't stand all the eating David does, how Sharon eats, why is ITKWD just cooking items, why does he not cook on the show and on, and on, and on. Choose what you watch -- that's your choice, and don't watch what you don't like.

There is absolutely no need for insults.

Well said @makena, the derogatory comments on hosts has really gotten out of hand in my opinion. The mods finally closed the attack on SF and I would have given @hellodali 100 hearts if I could have for her comment on that thread. There is enough hatred in the world, live and let live...

I've posted this before, how do people function in the real world, if they get so easily offended? Do they expect people they meet to censor what they say to not offend them? Too many threads get poofed for no real reason.

@Sueliz Amen to that!

I couldn't agree with you more. We all have the choice to view the shows we enjoy and to tune out those we don't care for, whether it is the host and/or show items. But to just hand out insults is unnecessary.
