New greetings?

jph — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 13:29:12 GMT

I wasn't able to watch for a while so I was really surprised when I saw all that kissing and sweet word going around. David V is the worst, Sharon F kisses everything around her. Is it me, or is this normal. To me it is sickening.

Two threads on the same subject? Cut and paste, in fact. Why?

Tried to get rid of the kissing one but didn't know how. Sorry.

There are other things that some of the hosts do that bother me more.

This comment is slightly off subject but tangential.

I dislike when a female host goes on and one about how cute a male on the program is - either a vendor or a crew member who walks out for a moment. That's really inappropriate. If the men hosts were doing that with women vendors or crew members, a lot more people would find it offensive. I find it offensive in the workplace to be commenting on people's looks and attractiveness and "cuteness", dimples, whatever. The females should not be allowed to do that to the males and vice versa.

No problem. Sometimes posters get really irked about something and post it under multiple headings.

PS I agree with you.

I absolutely agree. I know DV is from the South, and I know many Southern women who use a lot of "sweetie, honey, love" stuff. I'm also from the South and I try not to let myself slip iinto this too often. I have one woman friend who drives me nuts with this. Admittedly I don't spend as much time with her as I would otherwise. But I have never seen any man (Southern or otherwise) fall into this pattern, and honestly I find it almost a "put down" when I hear a man uses those syrupy words.. Makes me really uncomfortable and reeks of insincerity.

I have to admit I haven't seen Sharon in months, and I don't watch ITKWKD. So I am no expert on either. I just know what I like and what drives me to the remote.

If you find it sickening, then why do you continue to watch?

Yes, it is normal for a lot of people.

I have to laugh at the attention given to Liam when he is on.

I know he is nice looking but...lol!

I think all the kissy-face stuff on QVC is disgusting. These hosts have business relationships with the vendors but the way they act, you'd think they were long lost kin. You don't see that on other channels. Very unprofessional.

No need to apologize

There's a bit more kissing/hugging lately I have noticed as well, funny you bring this up.

But it seems genuine to me. It doesn't bother me very much at all maybe b/c I am such a big hugger and kisser? lol

Some hardly ever hug or kiss, it's something I have recently notice since it's done so much now!

Not sure why two threads, but the other one got "moved" by a moderator as being a thread started as a bashing of hosts and vendors (yet this thread is ok?).

@SunValley

I noticed that too. A bit inconsistent isn't it?

I guess it just depends on the judgement of the particular moderator.

I think so too.
