Wonderful New Host!

on the bay — Thu, 19 Oct 2017 10:06:53 GMT

I was watching early in the morning today and thought, who is that?!

I don't know her name but she was listening to the presentations so politely, interested, soft, sweet, calm voice, pretty hair in a blond braid on top of her head and she acted like a normal person!

Not yelling, just like as if you or I would be listening so I found myself listening to both presentations-bethlehem lights and campanelli all the way through.

Her comments were sincere, but she didn't interrupt and I felt like we were probably all listening along with her.

Someone hiring got it right this time.

They must have different hirerers(is that a word?)

The new hosts don't say their names a lot and maybe they aren't supposed to.

It was really encouraging to see/hear her.

Maybe there is hope and someone is listening re please no more screaming, rushing, fake enthusiasm, interrupting,talking about everything under the sun but details of what they are selling, esp. the easy pay every sec., annoying,squeaky or valley girl voices.

With this kind of host she was, I could actually start listening again!

And hey maybe even ordering something again!

I caught just a few minutes of her and thought she was great! Could it be Kristine Zell? I thought I saw something about a new host with that name.

@Fair Lady-

I think you are right!

thank you.

I was wondering after reading your post could she be the host that was coming back from maternity leave?

I went to the meet the hosts page and it also has a square to click on hosts blogs and she had one with beautiful pictures of her toddler son and new born little girl with a touching post.

I caught the 3am presentation of the Martha Stewart TSV. If this is the same new host you all are speaking of, I thought she was excellent! Agree with previous posters comments. Informative, did not interupt, had relevant comments. Very nice presentation skills!

I guess I am in the minority about Mary Nelson. While she is likeable and her presentation is calm her voice is very shaky and she seems to be asking a question all the time rather than making a statement. Having said that I always have the option of changing the channel or muting which I do quite often

@Teddixat-

No, It wasn't Mary Nelson (whom I do like also!)

It is a host who I've never seen before and I do think it is Kristine Zell.

You can go to hosts blogs and read about her.

Totally different and very good in her voice and presentation.

I caught Kristine's first time back and she was......perfectly adequate.

Very much in the Mary Beth or Pat mold, which seems to work at 2 or 3 a.m.

@on the bay - It is Kristine Zell and she is very good! She didn't talk ultra fast and let the vendor speak without interruption, which I very much appreciate.

I did not see her presentations, but hooray for any new hosts with poise, know when to keep quiet and not interrupt the vendor and act professionally on air.

Here she is.

Pretty good for just coming back. I did not see her host before having her baby.

I watched the link provided and she did seem to be very natural.I think you are right that she will be an enjoyable host to watch.

I need to start a petition to get Kristine B. on the Monday eve. 7-10 slot. Then I can watch again. (Thank you for bringing this host to my attention as I rarely watch due to the current host's constant hand-clapping, and loud exuberant outbursts during her shows.)

She was awesome. I heard her say she’s been there a couple of months. I wonder if she replaced the host who ALWAYS wore the same high wedge shoes, short, dark hair (I can’t remember her name). I haven’t seen her for awhile.

I’m still trying to get used to the other late night host Courtney Khondabi

Re: Wonderful New Host!

akablonde — Thu, 19 Oct 2017 18:37:38 GMT

I agree! It seems like the late night host are all softer in their presentations.

Kristine seems like a natural fit, very good indeed for her short hosting stint so far. Courtney Khondabi is great; a lovely host and getting better and better every presentation.

I agree. I have to change the channel when Mary Nelson is on. Not only is her voice shaky, she sings her sentence at the end. It takes her forever to say something. Although she seems like a nice lady, it very hard to listen to her voice...

I have been impressed with kourtney (sp) and the new blond that just returned from maternity leave. Her last name is Zell. They do not come across as new hosts at all. Very knowledgeable about the products and smooth confident presentations.

The other two Mary Nelson and Kathy Paradis (sp) she is from Florida. They still come across as new hosts and trip over themselves sometimes especially Paradis. Mary does have a very shaky voice. I think they will get there and they are not unwatchable. They seem to be likable woman, it's just when you compare them to the other two they have a way to go to catch up. I assume that's why the put them on in the middle of the night so that they can sharpen their skills and improve.

I have been watching Kristine Zell this morning, and I've seen her a few other times. I thinks she is good with getting all of the information about a product out there, but she needs to stop cutting the product experts off, and talking over them, and above all, she needs to realize she's talking to adults and not kids. She tends to talk as if she's talking to a child at times.

Re: Wonderful New Host!

CoG — Sat, 27 Jan 2018 23:30:55 GMT

Couldn't disagree more. Every presentation includes over sharing about being a nursing mom. Every product brings another mention of 5 month old daughter and older son.

Mispronunciation galore on "jularee" shows is a channel changer. She has a beautiful voice but focuses on modulating the voice rather than content.
