Who is responsible for this Over 50 movement?

JKLSCH — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 02:22:31 GMT

Just tuned in to QVC see what all the hype is over this over 50 promo.

Shawn and Mallory are on. Shawn explained that this is not about selling products, it's to form a community. A new movement. Ok?????

So Shawn then goes into sharing 3 things that happened in the airport. The 3rd thing was her sharing that she currently has a large hemorroid.

WTH?????

So, let me get this straight QVC. You only get hemorroids over 50 years of age?

Who in their right mind wants to be part of this community?

I think I have officially lost my mind.

Bye QVC. Good luck with your new movement.

I have enjoyed all the remote shows and the event.

i would not watch if i didn't like the concept or the hosts/vendors involved. that would just be unjoyful. why would i do that to myself?

@JKLSCH I heard the third thing also and my eyes almost fell out of my head .LOL Like really????? That's just TMI. *click* I had to turn it off. And you are right, roids can happen way sooner than 50.

This is so classless. I thought I'd give the show a chance. I was willing to do that, but it all seems so immature and does NOT imo paint any women over 50 in a good light.

Maybe what she was saying is that when you are younger you do not share your problems, and suffer privately, and now that she is a bit older she feels she has a more supportive community, and can be more comfortable sharing. At least that is the way I interpreted her comments.

That seems to be one of the MAIN functions of this QVC forum these days--women seem to constantly be looking for support and feedback with their life issues, instead of discussing shopping for different items (original intent).

Oh well, whether you like it or not, we will all be 50 and over some day.

I have enjoyed the parts of the shows that I have been able to watch through the day.

I am approaching 70-and watch qvc sporadically and post very infrequently. Their new over 50 movement is amusing to me since I somehow managed to make it through that decade without having to dress like a stripper to feel fashionable; or share my physical challenges with the world in order to understand my own body; or seek role modeling from salespersons who advertise aging via airbrushed marketing materials and indulge themselves in a trip to Vegas! Aging can be a wonderful journey- thank God I am not living QVC’s version!

Leave it to Kathy Levine to bring some class to this over 50 debacle.
She is the only reason to turn in to this snorefess

I haven't heard any of them share where they get all their work done on their faces and noses. Is their a physicians building next door?

This whole format is STUPID. What a waste of money QVC, that we customers will be paying for or are paying for in the long run. Money could have been spent in offering free S&H all the time.. Hosts are acting ridiculous, taling over each other, probaly all buzzed. I watched for about 2 minutes. I've been a customer since QVC began. It;s sad how it has changed. Good luck & happy viewing to anyone that can handle it.

Turned in for a couple minutes and it was Susan graver giving her usual, everyone loves liquid knit blah blah blah. Rachel saying that when she turn 50 her attitude was, watch out world.
I mean seriously, it's the same QVC products
and shows with a different location.
What is the point? Really stupid.
Like catastrophe posted, All of these women have had work done except maybe Jane Tracy. So I guess that's the way they embrace being over 50. Lol

There are products on QVC I'm interested in and would like to purchase. But I no longer want to be around the people on air who are selling them. I'm embarrassed for them.

Between the host and vendor antics and the poor policy choices made by QVC, I've lost faith. I don't believe in this company anymore.

I was watching when Shawn promoted her upcoming show during ITKWD. She said she had something to share at the start of her show. So I watched. It turned out to be sharing that she has a painful hemorrhoid. Really? Not funny, just a turn off. So I turned it off.

If this was my "community" I would be calling U-Haul.

Susan Graver said she is 50? What? I know she's 70 and with the "over 50" movement being deceptive about her age is the opposite of what this campaign is about. Sheesh.

@nelc. Heaven knows they needed somebody to give it some class. Considering the principals, people should have known what to expect. If Mally is on the agenda, I just avoid the channel.

Thought I would give the show a try.

Turned off immediately by talk of hemorrhoids.

screaming and carrying on by Shawn and Mally.

Jane Treacy looked terrible in her outfit.

was fun to see Kathy Levine and her beautiful bracelet.

I don't get the point of this show.

Not classy at all

watched for 1/2 hour. That is it for me. Bought nothing.

Maybe Shawn's hemorrhoids are from her poor hygiene that she takes pride in discussing on air.
