What on QVC makes you change the channel and why?

Everyone has their favorites and there are some hosts or products that turn you off, so you turn them off by changing the channel. What causes you to stop watching?

It's never the host that makes me change the channel but handbags, most fashion and usually jewelry. A handbag is only something to put my stuff in and not an accessory for me. Most of the fashions here are way too conservative for my taste. The only jewelry I wear is earrings and maybe an ankle bracelet or occasional ring or two.

I only watch shows I'm interested in and don't usually keep it on the rest of the time. If a show I watch is hosted by Shawn or Mary Beth, I will either not watch or will record it and fast forward through everything but the product I want.

Shawn just annoys me. When she and Isaac are together it's even worse. I can feel my IQ drop when they are on the air together and I have to turn it off. Mary Beth is very professional and always looks so nice, but every time she whispers "Yeah" as the vendor speaks, it creeps me out. That's my problem and not hers, but I still can't watch her.

It's ALWAYS a host that makes me change the channel. There are hosts that I can only watch for a few minutes, and then there are hosts that I can't stand to watch for a single minute. So nothing makes me change the channel other than a host I can't stand to watch.

There are still a few hosts that I thoroughly enjoy.

For me it's rarely the merchandise although I really am bored by some of it. If I change a channel it's because of an obnoxious, loud, fast talking and pushy host and/or vendor.... I'm gone. I'd rather watch the weather channel (or golf *shudder*) than have my senses assaulted.....

Jane T. regardless of what she is presenting. I loose my patience fast with her stories.

Oh, Q4U, I had to laugh when I read your post. I never thought of myself as a weather channel watcher, but that is exactly what I find myself doing these days when one of the many obnoxious hosts is on! And it seems to happen more and more frequently!

It would be easier to list the things I like -- clothes, shoes, and handbags. Everything else makes me change the channel.

Certain hosts, certain vendors with annoying voices, too much "cackling", uninteresting product, maudlin presentations.

Shawn and the Philosophy shows.

Two things: Programming and/or host. (I guess there's nothing left after eliminating those two.)

I change the channel when I'm tempted to buy something and then remember that it will take 3 weeks to get to me, and if I don't like it, am out 10, 12, 15 bucks to return.

The hosts. They are too,too for me. And the extra long presentations. I know what I can afford and I know what I like so I do not have to be convinced.

I stop watching when boring beds are presented, pillows, Lazy Boys, televisions, overpriced handbags, and when the host and vendor are chattering at the same time. When they do that all I hear is "blah, blah, blah" and can't understand a word they're saying. Can't change the channel fast enough.

I can honestly say I've pretty much stopped watching the Q. I used to find it entertaining especially PMS. I also used to love watching the jewelry. Now I just find it all BORING. Same stuff over and over. The jewelry has gone to mostly mystery metals and the clothes are just not my taste (LOGO). I mostly check online and that's it for me. I don't care for any of the hosts - they get more obnoxious by the day. I will probably get poofed or slack for saying that they all want to be the next LR and none of them can even come close.

So true. I change the channel for almost everything they sell.
