Shawn's too sick to be on - what's wrong with you Q?

TuesdayTaylor — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 19:52:00 GMT

Shawn sounds horrible today, it's so difficult to listen to her with her coughing and that painfully raw, scratchy throat. Come on QVC, why would you put someone on who is so sick? Her voice is gone, she can barely speak. It's upsetting to watch her struggling to speak, I feel sorry for her. Viewers deserve better than that. I love the beauty shows but this one today got turned off.

I agree!! Go home already..her voice was so annoying! I doubt her bosses made her stay, I bet it was her idea! Marybeth had the same thing last week and she stayed on air too! They are spreading germs all over the place ewwwwhhh!

In the "olden days" there used to be a host on standby that could step in.

Even if she feels great and isn't spreading germs.... her voice HURTS to listen to it! When I first heard it, her voice grabbed my immediate attention but then I was completely turned off by it. Can't listen to her, why continue to have her on? Awful....

I like Shawn a lot and thought she looked horrible, her eyes were so sunken in and the extreme eye make up made her look much worse

If she didn't take so much vacation time, maybe QVC would be okay having someone fill in for her. She's taken so much tIme off that maybe everybody is tired of filling in for her.

I thought the same thing - why on earth was she working today. Wasn't it her show - Shawn's Beauty Secrets, or something similarly inane? Maybe she felt she had to be there since it was "her show."

ITA. She sounded too sick to be on air and it was hard to listen to her. I liked her black pair of mid ankle boots though. Does anyone recognize what brand it might be?

1) The hosts might get dinged in some way for on-air sick days.

2) QVC just does not have the staffing they used to have, and/or long-time hosts are maybe tired of doing it.

I have asthma and allergies and at times my voice is so hoarse for weeks. I feel fine except for the coughing and voice. I would not have been able to keep a job if I stayed home all those days.

But did you "talk" for a living? I think that makes the biggest difference. I can totally undestand not being able to take off time for allergies but if your employment requires you to talk for four hours straight and nothing comes out but hoarseness and dropped words.... there's a huge problem.

@K9buddy, like that's nobody's business how much vacation time she uses.

Sounds like most of you couldn't care less that she's ill and working ... you're just taking another opportunity to make ill remarks.

Most if not all of the hosts & hostesses are "sick." If you notice when one starts hacking, coughing & losing their voice on air, they all start. It's the domino affect.

QVC rarely lets a host take off when they're not feeling well.

It's pretty tortuous to listen to, but somehow QVC is okay with it.

I didn't see Shawn but I have seen times when hosts are clearly sick onair and I must admit, it truly is distracting and, frankly, cringeworthy at times. QVC really should not allow them onair when they are really sick like that. Plus I feel for the vendors who have to work closely next to them as they are hacking away. I wouldn't be too happy if I were a vendor.

Shawn is a grown woman. Put the blame where it belongs which is on shaw. QVC hardly has her chained on the set.

QVC should care how their hosts come across onair and if they are sick and hacking away, that is distracting. The "blame" is purely on QVC if they care at all that their customers aren't able to focus on the products being presented because of the sick, hacking, coughing, sneezing, hoarse host.

KathyPet is trying to blame Shawn, but I can remember Lisa R. being in the same condition many times, and she continued working. I'm sure if anyone would have been allowed the privilege of going home to recuperate, it would have been Lisa.

It's not Shawn's fault.

Oh please...Shawn is responsible for herself. She knows exactly what she is doing.
