I wish Mary Beth would

Kitty Galore — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 21:45:17 GMT

Please stop with the phrases "etc". And "this is the thing". I realize we all have our catch phrases. Maybe she just doesn't realize how often she says them. She's a nice lady and a good host otherwise, more professional them some others.

She's been my #1 favorite for years. I excuse any redundant things she may say because doggonit I like her!

**we all have friends and family that say phrases "do you know what I'm saying, at the end of the day, I'll be honest with you, etc. and it's just part of who they are.

@Kitty Galore I fail to see the point here. . .

I don't mind the catch phrases. We all have them. What bothers me is when hosts try to tell you that you can wear something "with jeans OR with a dress" when it's not true. As an example, the last time I watched Jennifer Coffey on Isaac Mizerahi, they both suggested wearing a plaid puffer dress with a cocktail dress. Ummmm... I know you want to make a sale, but NOBODY is going to buy a puffer vest to wear with a dress!

@Sooner It's just my opinon on phrases used constantly, that Was my point ! It's an observation after watching Mary Beth for many , many years. I feel I have a right to my opinon as we all do here . I like Mary Beth and always have , just get tired of hearing "etc" used when it doesn't really apply to what she is saying.

@Kitty Galore But why bring it up? All these years, she must know. So why mention it? Record yourself for an hour every day and then in a month see what you uh, um, say.

Maybe the issue with those who are upset by certain host behaviors watch too much and would benefit from taking a break from watching the Q or even starting up a new hobby.

I really like Mary Beth!

JMO!

LuvmyLab — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 22:59:30 GMT

@Kitty Galore I agree! I hate it when she says "Here's the thing". I realize they all have their catch phrases however they get annoying hearing them repeated umpteen times during a show.

@Sooner "Why bring it up".? It's my observation , hosts have been discussed here on the forums since the beginning. Plus Im not on tv with millions watching me, so NO I won't be recording myself LOL 😹 I'm done ....you Have a great nite 🙄

I think we all have our favorite "go to" word or phrase whether we realize it or not. Mary Beth says "here's the thing". OK...what's the harm?

I think she is under the mistaken impression that this phrase is something we all use in our daily lives and she wants to have a connection - something in common if you will with us common folks. I do not use that phrase and have never used that phrase even during my formative years and well into my 20s and 30s. If I were to suddenly use it my husband would give me an xrated response. Sigh.

The OP has every right to post how she feels about something. Y’all post all kinds of likes and dislikes on here everyday. IMO Mary Beth is not professional she uses all kinds of phrases like Here’s the thing, etc and I’ve even heard her say All that Jazz when she didn’t know what else to say. She’s been a host for a lot of years she should be better than this.

I am sure Mary Beth is a lovely person. But I just can not watch her presentations, partly due to the phrases she uses over and over again. I do think someone at QVC should point it out to her. Remember when Pat James Dementri said, “as well,” at the end of sentences? I swear one time I heard her say it after three sentences in a row. Then she just abruptly stopped doing that and I have not heard it since (not that I see every second she is on.) The OP is pointing out something that bothers her. It bothers me too, and surely bothers others. This is not a huge deal in the grand scheme of life. But it is something that can be corrected and improved upon and I don’t see anything wrong with pointing it out.

Mary Beth has been saying this for 20 plus years, it's not ever going to change.
