Kristine Zell

Saw her for the first time this morning on the D&C show. Was so impressed! She was extremely prepared, her voice is soothing and her demeaner is calm and confident. She needs a show of her own!

I feel just the opposite, but she does try hard.

Makes mistakes and just smiles them off. This morning she asked Gary to guess how many people are on the Denim & Co. design team. Gary said, uh, I know the answer, you guess (and laughed it off). Later she held up a top that was on a hanger in front of the model Maria, right in Maria's face. You could tell that Maria was a little taken aback. Kristine then bent the hanger down so the hanger was no longer flush in front of Maria's face any longer, but really?

I think she would have been well served as Jill Bauer's social media host in her You're Home With Jill shows, instead of Katie McGee, whose hosting talents are wasted there.

I was not at all impressed with Kristine. Yes she tries...but too hard. Hosts should NEVER overtalk the vendor...Gary often didn't have a chance to finish his presentation. She might be better representing a product other than fashion or jewelry.

i was never too keen on her, but i did catch a kitchen show and she did alright there.

Kristine and Cathy P still seemed to be scheduled for the Night Shift, often paired with one of the newest hosts still. Courtney K and Mary Nelson have moved on.

Maybe when they are comfortable with all 6 of the new batch Cathy and Kristine will find homes elsewhere. I would think that Cathy could do some sort of kitchen/food show on Q2, but Mary D and Stacey seem to have that niche occupied. Perhaps there are still too many hosts, even for 3 channels.

Quite honestly I'm surprised Kristine is still there. At least she seems to have quit blaming everything on "mommy brain."

I totally agree with @Caaareful Shopper that she should have been the social host with Jill. I just cannot believe they did that to Katie. She is such a great host.

Both Cathy and Kristine have been solo hosts for a while now. In fact, Cathy includes one of the newest hosts in several of her shows now to help them get acclimated. She's sort of an on-air mentor. Funny, I have yet to see Kristine shepherd one of the newest hosts in one of her shows.

I doubt that it's Cathy's idea to be paired up with one the new hosts.

i watched that show and that host left me gasping for breath! she cannot stop talking. i was uncomfortable watching and will probably avoid her in the future.

I can not watch her. She talks too fast, fake smiles too much, and can't pronounce anything correctly.

I feel Kristine is not improving as she should be. Of the last group of 4 she is by far the weakest. I actually thinks shes weaker then anyone from this group. Being a QVC host is not for everyone

I do not care for Kristine's hosting ability. Her voice sounds very fake sugary sweet.

I saw some awkward cringe-worthy moments with some vendors, the Denim & Co vendor included. She is the only host that I can not stand to watch.

I have seen her a couple of times and I think she still needs some training. She gets many items/colors wrong and can't seem to be quiet long enough to let the vendors present their products. She is the weakest host of that group of trainees.

Re: Kristine Zell

Snoopp — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 19:47:02 GMT

Every time I see her on she makes mistakes. She is the weakest presenter in the new group. Not a fan.

Re: Kristine Zell

LIndaMJ — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 19:53:44 GMT

I cannot/will not watch her for reasons already mentioned.

When she was hired in the middle of training she went out on maternity leave ......when she returned and went on-air she was OK, but then seemed to take a step backwards and now seems to have turned into a KL clone (all about self , ill prepared)

I haven't a clue as to who she is, but I can't help feeling a bit bad for the poor OP here. I don't think I've seen this kind of consensus before. :-)
