Thomas Anthony Jones

I just now caught an item this young man was selling and my blood pressure went down I think. I became so relaxed listening to him. What a treat to hear a host that is so pleasant to listen to. No hard selling, and no speaking in a voice that is irratating. I will try to catch his shows, as I find him refreshing. However, i do watch Rick in his decorating shows, so there is a time I do love high energy. He seems to be perfect with Valerie Parr Hill. I get some laughs from the two when they work together. But, for a nice relaxing show of presenting items, I am liking what I hear and see with Mr. Jones. I remember the days of men doing more shows and really liked them.

What a nice thing to say @nomar. It's encourged me to see him in one of his shows, haven't watched him yet.

All I know so far about him is he sure is a handsome man, nice to know he presents his products well too in a calm manner, how nice.

I was on Q2 with Tara’s sidekick. He’s still learning, but he’s very pleasant.

😵 Rick is so hyper, I'm actually surprised that he hasn't knocked over and broken everything on the VPH set.

To answer what was he selling, he was selling.Candle Impressions lanterns. He admitted he was still learning. He was such a nice change from some of the hosts and their frantic style of selling. His tone of voice is what I liked. He will probably pick up speed a little and be more descriptive of the item he is selling as he gets more comfortable.

Glad QVC is not making him present women's clothes and makeup. They have enough women to do that. It's just as weird as having Courtney K work a pressure washer or tree trimmer.

I haven't seen TJ but he sounds like a keeper - at least until they tell him to amp-up his presentations.

@NYwoman

Now Now...I operate a pressure washer and a tree trimmer tool, I change the oil in my farm equipment that I maintain my little farmette with, and I ami willing to learn how to do ANYTHING with the proper instructions.....

After all....I founrd out you don't need a ...well, you know ( male appendage) ...to do any of that stuff....just the manual and a good set of tools!!!

It's not 1950 you know...women do pressure washing and tree trimming and a whole lot more today!!!!

Fine, and congradulations to you! More power to you! But with the maticulously manicured nails on Courtney, Vanessa, and Monifa, and their coiffure that would be ludicrous.

I am pointing out matching hosts with what is believable that they would use / wear.

@ManyMeows

I can't watch Rick unless he's sitting down showing jewelry. He's so loud, so animated and never lets the vendor finish a statement without jumping in and taking over. At times you can even see the vendor become irritated..

I watched him for the first time last week and he was better than some of the usual suspects. One of the vendors asked him why he wears two watches which caught him off guard, but he laughed and explained one of the big three athletic companies are tracking his recovery time from workouts, etc. Now, I am a former athlete, and was never so elite I was being tracked by one of these companies, I was thoroughly impressed and loved the sneaky question and off the cuff answer.

I will always be understanding with someone who is still learning, especially after only a few months, but years down the road when your issues get worse or your "personality" abruptly morphs into someone else's idea of what makes good sales ir trying to compete with 20something "influencers", I am over you. Rosina took a bit to grow on me, but she has done sooo much better this year and I enjoy her now that she is settled in. Vanessa came in hot, right out of the gate. Steve D has come along nicely and I enjoy him with Vanessa on Q2. A few other of the newer or brand new faces, still need a lot of work but one of the ladies who just showed up recently, Chelsea, I think is doing a wonderful job, very charming, down to earth and patient during her presentations. She has been doing the Q2 StyleClearance that AC and JC were hosting, and those two together were totally unwatchable.

I think he's doing a great job. Very nice speaking voice, great smile. A very good start in my opinion.

I think he's the opposite of forced and uncomfortable. He seems to be quite open and enjoying every bit of his learning process. He's charming and adds his personal experience with the items without making it about himself.

I've enjoyed his presentations thoroughly.
