Allison was not on during the last visit. Does anyone know why?

I'm guessing that they have substituted Beth for both Allison & Brian Ripka. Beth does a better job anyway, in my opinion. But I really don't care who presents the jewelry!

Allison may be concentrating on her family and her children more?

I thought Brian and Allison were okay, but Beth is more involved in the day to day business. I gather she is also Judith's right hand person as well as a Sr. VP at Ripka. I think when Beth speaks she is somewhat more knowledgeable.

I'll probably get some tomatoes thrown at me but here's my response. A certain woman late night host I think made Allison & Brian a bit uncomfortable. I had to put my tv on mute to watch. Again just my opinion. As I really enjoyed Brian and Allison. I also like Beth

I don't remember anymore. but I do know it happened more than once. the one time, Brian's face got so red. I really felt bad for him. It was like she was really flirting with him.

Hi, Pepper, I know exactly what you are talking about as I watched those shows, too. Extremely uncomfortable!

Hi Sheesh, yes, I was extremely uncomfortable watching and for Brian and Allison.

I know exactly who you are talking about, and I saw the shows, but I don't think either of them really cared much about her awkwardness. I think that Brian has his hands full with other aspects of the business, and Allison was probably happy to turn the job over to Beth as she has young children to take care of. That host was a little kooky but harmless, and I doubt bothered either one of them in the long term.

Who knows, maybe they will bring back handbags someday and Allison will reappear as that seemed to have been her "baby."

If everyone saw the show you are talking about who is the Host that made them so uncomfortable.

Everyone I see on the Q (especially at night) is very respectful. I can't imagine who would be disrespectful to them.

She wasn't disrespectful. She was just nervous I think and put her foot in her mouth a couple of times and was for some reason starstruck by Brian. She meant no harm, but some of her comments and actions were cringe-worthy. It was Nancy.

Oh! Nancy is sweet and beautiful but I know sometimes she stamers (sp) and I can see where it might be difficult if you are a person that prefers someone who is more uptight. I don't mean uptight in a bad way, just very business-like.

That would be a better word. Business-like. Nancy is more like Antonitte (sp). They are both just more relaxed than some other Hosts. Nothing wrong with their approach but I can see where it might not work as well with Nancy as say Lisa who is more business-like when it comes to selling things with Judith.

Just a thought, but I remember this thread not so long ago in which some less than complimentary things were said. Never know if things got back and someone no longer wishes to present online.

I usually do not like to comment on the hosts, but if you are talking about Nancy H. I can see her acting in an embarrassing way. I cannot understand why QVC hired her I can't even watch her she is so embarrassingly foolish.
