@nana59....that might be a sign to save you some money, honey, lol.

Nothing on TV tonight, but I am watching HSN with their "Beauty and the Beast" premiere. I'm not buying anything, but I like alot of the items. Colleen looked especially pretty tonight when she was on with Heidi. I like when they do the movie premieres and have items to offer. It's different.

Must be Kersten; she has the same effect on me. She talks too fast and doesn't ennunciate clearly. Hard to believe she came from a broadcasting background. I always immediately turn her off. Leaving it on is a waste of time. I can only guess the Q Brass never listen to their own programming.

You're right! And I love Heidi's pins!

I don't necessarily need to understand what the host is saying to make a purchase. Most of the information I can find online.

I have never watched a host talk "too fast". When does this happen?

If you really can't keep up, perhaps it's time to try the Closed Caption feature on your TV. It might be very helpful. JMO

In which case why bother watching QVC... just go to Amazon and order what you need and skip the TV presentation. You sure don't need a salesperson you can't understand.

Those Closed Captions are NOT accurate. They are typed by a computer, not a human. I bought a Blue Tooth "hard-of-hearing speaker" which sits next to me on an end table. This has solved my problem of not understanding the host............

Heidi's pins are gorgeous!

I don't have problems understanding the Q hosts when they talk but evidently some posters do.

I never have trouble understanding any host. It sounds more like a hearing issue than the host talking too fast!

Re: Wish I Could Make A Purchase.....

My hearing is just fine and there are absolutely times when Kerstin shifts from her normal speed talking to HIGH mode speed talking and therefore runs several words together that are thus beyond comprehension so that only part of what she said was understandable. Maybe some of you are used to being around fast talkers and what they are saying is clear to you but for some of us that speed talking like she does goes over our heads.

Re: Wish I Could Make A Purchase.....

Krimpette — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:53:24 GMT

If you're referring to Kerstin, I agree about her talking too fast. I have no problem at all with my hearing and I often have trouble keeping up with her speed talking. I wish she would ennunciate more clearly. She's a lovely lady, but I just don't watch her any more because of the speed talking.

Agree totally. She really does run words together, then changes the pitch of her voice, then lowers the volume of what she is saying. It all comes out as a jumble, and one has to work at figuring out what she is saying.

That and watching her constantly striking a pose make her unwatchable for me.

Yes! And I wish on occasion she would dress like a grown up.

blondiechick — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:06:11 GMT

I like the way Kirsten dresses!

Re: Wish I Could Make A Purchase.....

blondiechick — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:12:42 GMT

I forgot to add that Kirsten is one of the few hosts that wears a lot of the QVC clothes.

I know she is partial to Halston and i have seen her wear it during her hosting gigs.

I wish Kirsten would host the Halston Shows since she stated it was one of her favorite clothing lines on QVC.

I enjoy Kirsten and do not have a hard time understanding her!

Re: Wish I Could Make A Purchase.....

Bri36 — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:20:37 GMT

I don't think she's hard to understand at all.

I like what she's wearing - not everything all the time, but most of what she wears I like.

If there is a host I don't like, I don't watch. I can always buy anything online at any time.

@Tinkrbl44 What a demeaning comment! You don't have to have a hearing problem to not understand Kirsten. It's the hosts responsibility to be understood. I can't understand her either and I have no hearing problem.

@Kachina624

??? Sorry if I wasn't clear, but LOTS of people (with no hearing loss problems whatsoever) keep the CC on because it's a very handy feature. Personally, I find it most useful when watching the news.

I started with CC on in the bedroom because it makes watching TV easy when the SO is sleeping. Now, I also have it on in the living room ... and no here one has a hearing problem. Hope that clears it up for you.
