I didn't watch, but not surprised it was MBR they chose, totally strategic. She plays to the same demo as Carolyn, is the "trusted old guard" (and I speak for myself too) we tend to prefer.

Some liked the squirrels, it annoyed others no end. I never really got it but it didn't annoy me either.

On another note Carolyn already has up her new FB page and her life moves on. Wishing her and Dan all the very best.

I've got nothing I'm interested in watching or buying on Q currently. But I will still be interested to see where this all lands, Q just seems to be off the rails from what it ever was, course correcting or not.

Well the squirrel haters that wanted them to go away, got their wish. I dont understand why anyone would want to do away with anything that brought a smile, a laugh and joy to so many.

I hope all are happy now.

@Imaoldhippie It was not Carolyn , just the stuffed squirrel thing that took up time NOT discussing the products being sold....sizing....etc. cute MAYBE, but holding old stuffed toys and making them talk ....for people not 5 years old ....was just too much. It was More like programming for Sesame Street.

@Imaoldhippie , We'll think of it this way, are there things that annoy you in other host presentations ? Well that's how many felt about the squirrel.

Oh please -- stop with the exaggerated "hate." I didn't like the silly squirrels, plain & simple. I have no hate, and especially no hate for any host.

I'm sure you love absolutely everything done and presented on QVC. How wonderful.

I hope the squirrel thing is over. It was Carolyn who started that ridiculous thing anyway. I always thought Gary was embarrased about the whole scenario.

LindaSal — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 13:56:50 GMT

@SeaMaiden LOL! I mentioned the squirrel thing being over in another thread yesterday. It was silly and I won't miss the nonsense but I do feel for Carolyn. Anyway,

Ce La Vie.........

@SeaMaiden, not surprised. That was a "special" thing reserved for him and Caroline.

No Leah on Fri Yay. They must be scrambling to rearrange schedules. MBR had to wake up very early this AM in order to rush and fill in.

Much of everything for sale is older stock or long standing SKUs they have quantities of...you can tell because these items are QVC and the items do not include 4X and 5X.

What started the squirrel thing? I saw it once or twice.

I always try to find the good in everything. It made some people smile even if just for a moment. I'm all about that....and being kind.

I just hope they don't have Gary and the new host running around in pajamas and drinking wine.....

Never saw her show but from the threads, I thought the "squirrels" were real. Like, she was showing pictures from them at her home or at QVC year round. The way people do with hummingbirds, deer, etc.

We're talking stuffed toys? Really? Ok then. This just seems, to me, odd unless you're dealing with children/show for children.

@Daisy Sunflower , it's my recollection that a fan sent a stuffed squirrel to Carolyn. It somehow took off from there. I remember once not so long ago, Carolyn requested squirrel graphics to designate the "pick of the day". Lo and behold a few days later there they were on my T V screen. It got to be much, IMO.

For me the whole thing makes me sad. I loved the cuteness of the squirrel thing-loved GAROLYN together...now Carolyn took an abrupt exit with no proper send off. She deserves that I feel. Gary Goben I am sure is heartbroken as many QVC watchers. Go in love and health Carolyn...you shall be missed.
