Do you ever watch shows just to see the vendor - even if you don't buy a lot of the items she/he sells?

I love to do this! I really like to watch the Quacker Factory shows. Sometimes I'll DVR them - just so I can sit down with a drink and watch them later when I have time to myself! There are others I enjoy watching without buying a lot of the items too. And then there are those where I DO buy more of the items!

Please - this is not a vendor or host bashing thread. I'm just wondering about the specific shows!

Yes. I love the QF shows, though I only own two of their pieces. There's something about the calmness of the two sitting there talking about things that I really enjoy. I'm fussy about it… I don't like when they're standing and I only watch if it's Carolyn, Jill, MBR or Jane T.

Actually yes, I do, Valerie Parr Hill is one such vendor...her items are lovely but even when I'm not buying I'm getting ideas on how to display similar items I might already own. I do buy from time to time but I also get lots of decorating idea from her displays,

Not really.......I think by the time Q quits messing with all the modifications, and qualifications, the finished product is pretty far from what the artist intended...........

I used to watch the Kirk's Follies ladies; one sprinkled fairy dust and they were always dressed up in elaborate costumes; they seemed to be having a genuinely great time!

I love to watch the guy from Clark's....Steve Mahoney is his name I think. He has a very dry sense of humor. I only own 2 pair of Clarks shoes. lol. He is just fun to watch.

Sometimes I watch Coleen Lopez on the other channel when she is hosting a gemstone show, even though I've never bought any of it. I am so old I can remember when she was on CVN when it became QVC. I think she could sell refrigerators to Eskimos.

Stephen Walsh, who's on during certain of the Irish hours.

No - I can't think of any of them who I'd find entertaining enough to watch.

I LOVE Bob Mackie (and I like to see the sketches), so I would watch, even though I'm in a no buy zone.

Really enjoy Bob Mackie. Also, enjoy Louis and Jac.

Ah...No. I have a lot more interesting things to do with my down time like read a good book.

Yes! I love watching Adrienne (signature club A), I watch her all the time but in 20 years I've never bought anything, just find her amusing and fun to watch (even her jewelry shows). Quacker Factory too, never have purchased, but I find the shows entertaining.

I have enjoyed (though she is not on much) Kelli Kouri. She is middle aged and just gorgeous!. Also the Breezies bra lady as she is an inspiration for me. I like seeing the older gals look good and even better than many of the younger gals. I only watch for a short while.

Wanted to mention Suzanne Sommers on the other channel. She's almost 70 and she looks great even with all her procedures and surgeries. Many gals don't look good after one surgery and that's not reversible.

I DO like Philip Katz too.

I watch several vendors just because I like the presenting rep. Kirks Follies is one--I loved watching them! These days, it's Valerie Parr Hill and Angel from Quacker Factory. I used to like watching the BE shows with Leslie but since she left as the on-air person, I rarely watch those anymore.

On HSN, I love Jay King and the Borgheses for Perlier. ShopHQ has the 3 amigos of jewelry, and Jorge Perez of Waterford.

A good vendor personality is even more important to me than the hosts!

I do watch for Valerie, and sometimes I watch for Laura Geller. Stephen on the irish shows and Bob Mackie when I have time. I no longer watch Quacker Factory - it's not the same without Jeanne (neither are the clothes). I'm sorry I don't remember his name, but the man who was vendor for KJL's jewelry was a delight. So sorry he passed away.

Aside from that I'll usually watch anything Carolyn is showing, and sometimes Jill.

Philip Katz. Love his stories, the jewelry (JBK) is beautiful.

Trish MacAvoy. Expensive but she makes the application look so perfect and easy.

Niky Butler. He's bit of a scoundrel seems to enjoy his Bombay.

Elizabeth: I totally agree with you. I do not buy Adrienne or Quacker but I find them fun, funny, and in a way fascinating. I'll add Joan Boyce to this list. I love the devotion of their fan base even if the products don't speak to me.
