In Rio

Once again QVC goes on location and the host is standing with a background of the area during the night. No activity. They could've just put a picture up and been in PA.

Does anyone know if she's there working for NBC as well? Or did QVC pay for her to go there? If so, I can't understand why. I'm sure most QVC shoppers really don't care if they have someone selling products in Rio. Seems like they are trying to get on a bandwagon that few people care about....

Qvc must be paying for some of the trip if she is selling for them...doubt nbc would want to pay for that.

I flipped to that for only a few minutes last night and I actually thought Jill was standing in front of a backdrop. I didn't realize she was live in Rio until she opened up a compartment in the handbag she was selling and showed the Brazilian reais she was carrying. I saw her flash the money and suddenly realized she was live in Rio.
