Have you noticed?

LTT1 — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 13:27:16 GMT

Hosts must have been coached to do this?

They interrupt so that it appears often that more than one person is talking at a time. Even hosts that I enjoy (or thought I did) are speeding up and then cutting each other off...

it appears like they are on "amphetamines" !

I can mute and that works ... but I often lose part of the explanation.

No wonder hosts are often criticized for not including models' sizes or other pertinent information.

This type of product presentation cannot possibly increase sales, imo.

This has been going on for a loooong time. Q's way of presenting products is frenetic - wild, chaotic, and uncontrolled

I agree. If I wanted to hear that I would spend time with my family of origin. I change the channel every time.

I like when there is more than one host and they do separate presentations but come together for a few products.

This past week, I watched every single "shopping channel" that my cable offers. They are ALL THE SAME. They "think" the viewers are a bunch of stupid idiots...

They are told to sell this way. They're not supposed to give the viewer/shopper a chance to intelligently think & consider the product. Just get caught up in the frenzy and buy it before it's gone!!!!

It does the opposite for me. It makes me turn the channel and shop elsewhere, if the item holds any interest for me.

I watched Kourney's full presentation of the TSV last night. She was excellent. She was calm and asked the vendor important questions. She did not yell, jump up and down or overly push the product. I enjoyed her. She should always present alone, she does not need a "helper."

I too like Courtney by herself and wish she were not paired with that other host.

Oops, sorry I spelled her name incorrectly.

I agree with you about Courtney. So much better by herself.

It's not only shopping channels that do it, it's any kind of show with multiple hosts.

If it's something my husband is watching, I get up and leave. If I'm watching it I will change the channel.

I completely agree! I love to watch shoe shows, but I like them much better when Courtney is alone. She really does a professional job by herself.

The host Michele Mahone on ShopLC....sounds intoxicated to me!

I researched her ,supposedly a comedian 🤣....sounds more drunk 🥴....imho.....

I actually thought I seen Dan Dennis ,used to be on HSN ,a long time ago on SHOPLC

@Sassycoco @I just found shop LC. I find it to be a very strange shopping channel. I remember Dan Dennis from many years ago. Did not care for him then or now. I thought the same thing about that Michele Malone. Always sounds like she is on something.
I did see Karen Connelly on that channel. She was one of the original hosts on shop hq.

I agree it happens on HSN too even if it's just one host. They get frenetic, overly excited, or use the scare tactic that you're gonna miss out if you don't order RIGHT NOW....and CHECK OUT!!!!
