Hosts behavior

Tx4ever — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 23:52:54 GMT

Hi. I have never posted but I have to vent a little. Albany has always been one of my favorites, but today she went to another place. Do the Powers that be make everyone act out so badly when Renee is on? I don't want to see everyone shake it and zoom in on their butt. I am not watching the Q to be entertained, so please cut out the cra cra booty shaking. UGH. I just wanna buy some clothes.

Agree. What part of booty shaking is professional for host selling a product. I can't watch such ridiculous behavior, I know her children have to be proud. Embarrassing!!!!

ITA! I think it is putting down women. Them dancing so sleazy, and showing their butts to the TV camera. And on every show all day. Just sell the pants.... The rest is not necessary.

Once I saw that Renee had the TSV I turned the channel and didn't watch QVC all day. I looked on my IPAD to see what was being sold. I can't stand to watch all the booty shaking. I think it's so unprofessional. I doubt it will change though because I seriously don't think that "they" would ever tell Renee that it's not a good idea.

Can you imagine a classy host-- like Mary Beth for example-- doing that??

I can't!!

It's time for Albany and Renee to audition for "Dancing With the Stars." Lol.

It really doesn't bother me - maybe because I watch lots of dancing shows and they shake their booties there all the time --and wear almost no clothes while they do it.

What I don't understand is why they think it sells pants because only a few people have booties worth watching. I guarantee you that you don't want to see mine!

I don't know what has happen to QVC and the behaviour of some of the hosts. Not only are they silly, but where are the manners. I cannot watch Nancy or Sharon anymore due to the excessive talking. and talking over each other and their guests. Also some host are not sticking to selling the merchandise at hand. We have to endure endless banter back and forth with quest and most of it is very un professional. Bring bacvk the good ole days of Quality Value and Convenice.

Really? The good old days had a few doozies; in fact, one of the most popular was totally outrageous most of the time, especially in her era. Today she'd still be pretty far out on the limb but would fit in better.

Boring is the most unprofessional trait of any TV show- and I find many of the presenters who are robots pretty much reading the spec sheets too boring to watch long enough to spend any money. Just lety me read the websites if I want to see what's for sale.

I'm fairly new to QVC, but what I like most is the wholesome Christian values. I feel better about buying from a company with good ethics and a moral foundation. I would prefer it if they keep it that way.

You can sell a pant product based on how well it fits every shape and how it would enhance that shape ... or you can sell that same product by showing the behind of every model, host, and the vendor herself by lifting their shirt/rubbing their buttocks, and explaining how great my "butt" would look in that spandex pant (um I'm thinking shapewear=girdle). It's all in the presentation.

As far as the so-called dancing presentation, it's not a selling point for me and it's not dancing.

This post has been removed by QVC. Could be seen as unkind to model.

Millieshops, you made me laugh. That is my feeling about it too.

The booty shaking doesn't really bother me nearly as much as the vendor herself -- sorry, she is just not my cup of tea. Just once I wish for a caller to point out that practically every top is designed to drape to the hip, so no one is actually looking at your booty anyway. So why does she even have to lift up everyone's top to sell the booty-lifting properties of the fabric? It's a ridiculous sales pitch when her very next top she tries to sell is a high-low or a tunic, etc. Yes, her pants are good pants, I like some of them, but it's more because the substantial material mix make my thighs look slim. Hallelujah!! But for her it's always the booty dance.

I just go online to shop her pants.

No Mary Beth WOULD NOT be doing this kind of act. That's why they (the Q) pick and choose their hosts carefully when working with Renee.

ITA - how and why did this action even get started? It so does make these shows with her pants a sleaze fest. I'M embarrassed for these models!!!! I won't watch Renee's demonstrations either which really boils down to not buying anything of her's - at least not during her shows. If I were a model, I'd have to pass on working during her shows. Trust me - NO ONE needs to be watching me shake my big butt on nationwide tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I don't have a big butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think there is a vendor on QVC that some people like , some don't. They are still in business so it must be working for them. All of the vendors have their 'shickt' (sp?). Rene--booty shaking/Angel with Dream Jeans-- karate kicks/ Issac M -- everything is 'the Hamptons' (like anyone in mid America cares) and 'money'/ Carolyn--good neighbor & down to earth/ SG--personally I like her designs but have been known to mute t.v.

I agree! They had each model turn around and lift their shirts up to show their butts. And they kept saying "butts" like crazy!!

But how about the Breezies model now wearing a bra on live TV? They used to only show pictures or mannequins!!!

I remember when they had the Cross Your Heart Bra commercials on TV and the models had to wear the bras OVER their top....LOL. Not like today's bra ads.

I understand "Girls just wanna have fun" mentality, but Wednesday's show was so unprofessional, I wondered if everyone consumed those 5-hour energy drinks prior to airing the TSV in the afternoon show.

Models talking and interrupting (what other shopping channel does this!), the host and designer jumping, giggling, dancing, and other odd gestures occurring the entire hour.
