What about Alberti?

I've been waiting to learn more about the new host, Alberti. Why doesn't his bio and picture appear on the "meet the hosts" page....

I thought he was very good with George Simonton, I think his name is, and it kept me watching. Normally, I don't watch fashion shows much.

I like him, I have read many negative remarks about him, but I have no problem with him!

I have seen his presentations and I like the way he does them! He is competent and it is obvious that he has done his homework on the product! I think he is a better host now (only a couple on months) than some of the ladies who were hired in the last bunch of new hosts!

His picture is not shown because he's still on probation and not a full-fledged host.

I like the guy when I see him on air. I never read the bios anyways or the hosts blogs. I have seen some negative posts about him, but I see that happens with just about every host. Guess you can't please everyone.

He seems very personable, and a good host.

Even the best people, places, things in the history of the world have received negative comments. It's just life. I love Alberti. Very professional, takes his time explaining and describing, very considerate person. And I love his smile. Makes my day!!

ITA, Mousiegirl, I never watch fashion shows and I actually left the channel there. I really enjoy Alberti - he's calm and informative and he really has a knack for interacting with the vendors in a respectful way that allows the vendor to say what they want to say and also allows him to get across all the Q info and they both seem to be having a good time. Maybe it's because he was a vendor at one time. Anyway, I hope he makes it through probation and becomes a host.

Nana59, he has a blog here on the QVC website and also a Facebook page.

mewsmomtoo: Thanks for the alert..........I hadn't known that Alberti has a QVC Blog. I'll read all of his posts!

They never put up a bio or pic until after your trial time is up and you are ""officially"" notified and announced as a permanent host.

That has always been the Q's rules and manner of operation.

I'm not sure how they decide when to add the new hosts to "Meet the Hosts," but Alberti was made a "permanent host" back in mid-June. I noticed a post about it here on the forums, and it's also on his Facebook page:

6/17/14 Image: "Thank you!!!! I'm now officially a host!!!!"

"Alberti Popaj QVC
So excited about the news and I'm so grateful to continue this journey at QVC!! Mary Beth Roe QVC sent me these gorgeous flowers to congratulate me and I am so grateful for her support through my training!! THANK YOU to all of you who continue to watch and support me. It means the world to me!!"

He's quickly become one of my favorites. Not a surprise that Mary Beth was his trainer and mentor.

I wonder why he doesn't have an official bio then. Maybe you have a training period, then you are a host, but you still have a 90-120 day probationary period, like most jobs? Guess we'll see if he gets a bio in mid-Sept or Oct.

They probably wait on more than one to take the photographs and change the page. I would think they don't alter all of that for one person. It seems to bother you more than it does them. What does it matter?
