Rachel Boesing

Rachel's shows are always so pleasant to watch. She's not about 'me' and all about the product she's presenting.

Rachel has blossomed into a great host over the years - easy going, knows her products and respectful of the vendor.

I get all the info I need if I'm interested in purchasing something she's presenting.

I agree. Rachel is easy to watch and listen to. She has become one of my favorites.

I couldn't agree more, Rachel is the consummate host. I truly enjoy watching her. I also love the way she is so attentive to her mother. Such a wonderful human being on all counts.

I think Rachel is good on her own......not with another host.... i do appreciate how she gives the important details of the products and tries to cover all the facts about the products......the only complaint i have is that many times she does interrupt and speak over the vendor.................but otherwise i think she is good...

I truly enjoy Rachael's presentations. I stop to listen and see what she is showing.

Lately there are so many that I cannot watch.

I think that the hiring team are all slightly hearing impaired. The shreiking, and screeching and sing-songy voices of the new hires is really unbearable.

Although I like Rachel for the most part (she grew on me over time), I have seen her more than once in the evenings when she got loud - high-pitched and cackly and kinda brassy. So while it's usually pretty pleasant for me to watch her, IMO she's started to pick up the louder habits of the Late Night Cackling & Shrieking Society. Bummer. She used to be nicely soothing. I don't think QVC wants any of their hosts to be soothing - which doesn't bode well for a couple of the long-time soothers.

I totally agree. She is prepared and personable-always professional. A real pleasure to watch.

I tend to favor the more long term hosts here, but she is a definite favorite of mine for the 'newer' folks (along with Alberti and Mary, and I use the term 'newer' quite loosely here, I know).

I don't see her much, as perhaps I just don't tune into a lot of the types of shows that she is hosting, but always pleased to see her on air.

@kelsey17 Most, if not all, talk over the vendors, some hosts being much worse than others, annoying, I know.

@hennypenny

You are so right ---- fast-talking (never taking a breath) hosts; shrieking, screeching hosts --- and they all look and sound alike. The same script for every product!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that Rachel Boesing is one of the best hosts. Some of the hosts start out like her and then get very silly and talk too much. Courtney is also easy to watch, but I must admit that I no longer watch any host that talks so fast I cannot understrand them. I do not think they realize how loud their laughter and whistling is on their mikes. Mary Beth, Jane Brown and Leah are also very professional and easy to listen to. I admit I have changed the channel when some hosts (and guests) get loud and chatty. It appears that yelling and laughing at everything must sell more products.

Although I haven't seen her in a while, I usually enjoy Rachel's presentations. 😊

I wish she would do more of the shows I watch ... fashion only.

Her voice is one of the few that doesn't bother me.

I agree, Rachel is quite good, although, I don't find her particularly warm.

Depends on who she is on with. She always wants to be the center of attention. Her voice grates on me, especially when she starts cackling and flailing her arms around. I do not watch her.

Why are only the female hosts taken to task?

Rachel is a lovely person, imo.

I don't think they "only" are, but there are what, four male hosts on QVC and Alberti on Beauty IQ? We don't see them nearly as often as the female hosts - quantitatively they don't get much air time in comparison.

Plus IMO, the majority of the male hosts fall into Snoozefest category, at least for me. They could all put me to sleep except Rick and David. Watching Rick is like watching Ren of Ren & Stimpy - except I like Ren & Stimpy. The sloooow, quiiiiiiet, sofffffft-spoken hosts, male or female, don't get customer flack. They aren't my favorites at all. I like the hosts who present like an average person - not somnolent, not frantic.

I only see bits and pieces of QVC while channel surfing, last time I sat and watched for any length of time was St Patrick's Day. But what I have seen of Rachel is very pleasant.

Dan Hughes gets very excited about cleaning products, almost to the point of cackling and shrieking but not quite. Last weekend, I think it was a vacuum...the vendor even commented on how excited he was. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

@Moonchilde Obviously we see female hosts more often. I think we all can see that fact.

The point is that there are male hosts who, imo, are worse to watch and listen to no matter the presentation.

Some are still going on and on about Lisa Robertson ftlog.
