A stunning host

Imaoldhippie — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 11:51:48 GMT

I think it is Sandra Bennett but not real sure. She is on the video of TSV (mixer). I watched her present SG early this am and she is very good, has a pleasant voice and did not talk over the vendor. She also looked very stunning and chic. Her hair pulled back, the SG sweater, her leggings and shoes, with a beautiful necklace.

@Imaoldhippie, actually that was one of the new hosts, Cathy Padreas (sp?). Many people have compared her looks to Sandra, I thought it was Sandra too until I heard her speak.

Well you must've seen her on a good day....She was on In The Kitchen With David filling in for Stacy and stumbled and bumbled her way and even messed up on a presentation she gave the wrong ingredients and I guess the producer corrected her in her earpiece...and then she seemed annoyed about having to make a correction....And in a blog about the new hosts they say they practice for months and months and months before they even bring them on air. ....so if that was a sample...Im not impressed with her....And she supposedly went to a culinary school so shouldve known better is what people said........

@Spurt.................Although she did a good job hosting, I was mainly talking about how she looked.

@Imaoldhippie

Can't deny that ..... at least the stylist has the new hosts looking good! And she does look like a young Sandra Bennett...............

I don't believe the above, @Spurt. I think the training is brief and then "throw them in the water and let them sink or swim" is done.

Stunning or not, if someone doesn't have the voice for television your looks will never sway me to stay tuned in. Cathy and pleasant voice I would never use in the same sentence. Her voice is very child like that sometimes I cannot believe I'm actually listening to a QVC host. I must turn her off because my ears just cannot listen to her speak for any length of time. I was shocked when I heard her say she has a 12 year old sister! How old is Cathy anyway?

I thought I read on one of the hosts blog that they train for a long time.

I also think they train for a pretty long period of time and then co-host for a while before they do solo shows.

This is what Kerstin said, but this group of new hosts was Mary D Elise and Katie...

When we have new hosts come on at QVC, all of us are committed to their success. Mary Beth Roe leads the months and months of new host training but the rest of us all have our part in getting them ready for their debut. I was thrilled to spend some time in the last few months getting these lovely ladies acquainted with all of our fitness equipment. They were like gorgeous little sponges, so eager to learn and excited about all the opportunities. Elise is a yoga instructor, so she was a very quick learn.

@febe1

Maybe this group it just appears that way...

I either have to mute the sound or change the channel. Too much baby girl voice.

I think new host Cathy Pedrayus (sp?) looks like Sandra's younger sister.

I do like Katie McGee.....she could even teach a few of the tenured host a thing or too....

Courtney is OK..

Think it might be Sandra Hornback. I love the quiet way she presents Graver. Counteracts the frenetic pace of Susan. I really like Mrs Bennett, as Isaac calls her. Both are classy, well spoken and pleasant to listen to.

I agree, CP does look like a younger much hipper version of SB. I also agree her voice is not the best for TV, but there should be a way to improve that.
