Some of the hosts always seem to be louder than others. I almost always have to turn the volume down. And btw I don't see this as picking on the host. Customer feedback yes but picking on no. And she's an adult on tv she can probably handle it.

Sharon does speak very fast, but she's not the only one. Several of the hosts fly through so fast that my older ears can't keep up. And they're not all women. Some of the guys are even worse. QVC must have speed talking classes - everyone is getting faster.

I don't know if you realize it; however, as we get older we do not hear or comprehend as well as we did earlier in life. We may think we are, and no one really wants to tell us, but it is a fact. We don't walk as fast, we don't eat as fast, etc.

I know you are not "picking on Sharon", as I am not picking on you. I am merely stating a medical fact and perhaps you need to accept reality -- you are aging.

If I was watching a channel and found both women and men talking too fast, I would not watch. I would get in my car and go shopping in an actual store. Get out in the fresh air and talk to people. Smile and enjoy life. QVC has over 100 million viewers, they will go on.

I absolutely do not have a problem hearing.

Until Yesterday, I thought. I was watching the video on the Shark vacuum (I know, I know, it was presented umpteen times, but I didn't have the tv on and my son is looking for a vacuum). The host was talking so fast, she was speaking like those disclaimers facts at the end of ads (10,000 words in 10 seconds or less), I had to stop the video and read about it instead. Then I looked at some other product, it was the same host on the video, so I didn't watch and didn't buy anything.

Did you ever go to QVC and take their tour? If you haven't, definitely put it on your list of things to do. It is fascinating.

Anyhow, one part of the tour shows the control room. The hosts are not doing all the presentations they way they want to. The people in the control room are directing them constantly. If they used certain words that intrigue the customers and the control room sees the sales spike up, they will tell them to repeat that thought because it is making sales. They will also tell them to move on quickly to get to the next product or to get to the next aspect of the product on air.

When someone is chatting about their family, the sales may be going up because people are thinking that would be great for Uncle Joe (or whoever). These hosts are totally guided by the director. The director can see the phones lines and the sales being made. There is definitely a method to what QVC is doing and it is all explained on the tour.

The next time you do not care for the host talking fast or the host chatting about their family, think about why they may be doing it. They are being guided.

I saw the show with SF this morning and yes she is a little chatter box, but she's a great salesperson.She does one heck of a job explaining all the the ins and outs of the fashions I like how she tries almost everything on, it helps me decide if I want the top or whatever it is because I'm a small person too.

Ahhhhhhhh, not only do we have marketing people wanting to set the prices of clothes on QVC, but now we have someone who thinks they are the human resource department!

No one has ever said Jacque was "let go". Please get your facts straight before spreading rumors. And now you say Sharon is nothing special. Well maybe to you, but there are millions of people who tune in just to see her. Didn't you get the survey? I guess you are not that special in the eyes of QVC. Oh well.

And now it appears we have the resident board critic. No one is allowed to criticize anything QVC but posters are allowed to be critiqued for their opinions.

Personally, I'm not a Sharon F fan either for several reasons. One being her presentations bore me to tears so I just don't watch. The other has to do with some snotty comments about social media.

LD--I'm not sure who you are talking about. I know with my comments I feel if anyone says anything about QVC, go for it. However, that works both ways. If they say something, so can I. Why would I have to be quiet when others are criticizing anything they care to.

I see this is day to day life. The person who talks the loudest is always right. Well it doesn't work that way. I do not chose to back down when a host is being subjected to unfair comments. The hosts are people. People have emotions. If you want to find fault with how the home page is designed, have at it, but leave people out of it. These people have bosses who got to their position because they are good at overseeing others.

If you really feel strongly that someone is talking too fast, not giving the correct information, being rude to a vendor, etc., then by all means direct a message to the corporate section. However, what you may be hearing as fast, is not necessarily so. What you may be hearing as rude, may just be total kidding between two people who are very comfortable with each other.

If you think the price of an item is too expensive, then I would suggest you shop somewhere else -- perhaps, K-mart?
