Hosts Please Let Vendors Talk

bbrocket — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 20:47:14 GMT

QVC please tell your hosts to quit talking over the vendors. Particulary I was just watching Chad from Bethlehem LIghts try to describe their TSV and the host kept interrupting him. As a viewer who had purchased the wreaths, I would have liked him to have been able to finish his thought and give more details. I won't call this host out, as there are many of them that continually interrupt the guests to talk over them. What is the point of having the vendors be there if they are constantly interrupted during the discussion of their products?

And not only not letting the Vendors talk....

I saw Kristen and Alberti vie for attention as each one talked and the other tried to one-up the other. Alberti was in the middle of describing and Kristen kept saying loudly, "tell them there are two, tell them there are two, tell them there are two...." which Alberti did not!

I'm sorry, this loud, obnoxious behavior makes me turn to any other channel. So much for Sat. Morning at the Q.... at least for me.

@Mimi NY Thank you I was so darn disgusted when I wrote that......... I named names. I actually was only watching during commercials on another channel and it was enough for me!

Solution--get rid of all the hosts and let the vendors present their products.

This is a complaint which has appeared on these forums many times. Quite a few hosts are rude, talk over the vendors and interrupt to talk about the same old tiresome selling points. If you have a vendor who is supposed to be the product expert, why not let that person describe the items, makes sense. I know the producer pushes the hosts to be repetitive but it is a turn off and has made me watch less and less of the Q.

Chad has been talking all day so I think maybe he welcomes a host that can do most of the talking. There were so many presentations today and some hosts are well-versed on the items and some just like to be the center of attention. I think there were enough presentations where Chad did most of the talking so there was plenty of opportunity to catch at least one or two shows that pleased you.

@bbrocket That show was particularly irritating.

I was totally disgusted tonight during Fashion Nights In. Amy keep interrupting Isaac as he was trying to present a blouse. The vendor from Franco Sarto shoes could not get a word in with Amy. Courtney tried to be respectful to the vendor.

i turned off the show. Amy is becoming my least favorite host.. no one can describe a product. She keeps interrupting with how many are left. I really don't care about that.

maybe Amy needs to leave fashion and work in accounting with numbers.

I think this is the most common complaint the viewers have. We want to hear about the products from the vendors.

Good Night

I have to turn QVC off when Ric (Crazy Eddie) comes on. Too loud, hyper annoying and now studering because he is trying to talk so fast. Jane Tracy as well so loud she ruins David's shows when she sceams HONEY fifty times. Not cute. I save money when these two are on because I change the channel.

In Amy's defense, there are people in her ear telling her this. Im positive this is required to make people buy fast. It's called sales tactics. Sometimes Isaac has to get interrupted because he can go off in a tangent just like Susan Fravee. I've seen Jane Brown do it with Gary G. I've seen Mary do it and in fact most hosts do it.

Alberti filmed that Gordon Ramsey show and talked to some of the people on the show about what it's like being a QVC host. One specific question he answered concerned the most important aspect of hosting the shows. Alberti said, "for me, time."

He said it's absolutely crucial for him to keep track of the time in each presentation. He has sales jargon he has to say, item specifics, and responding to what the producer/director is saying in his ear. All that, and he has to let the vendor talk and somehow mesh all that into the time he's given for each product. The host is the one responsible for all that.

Some hosts do it better than others, for sure. If hosts could keep personal run-on stories at bay, they may be able to let the vendor contribute important details for the shopper more. But I do understand how difficult it can be for the hosts not to jump in and take over sometimes.

Cannot watch Kerstin & Alberti together. Too many hosts talk about their personal lives instead of the product. I am not interested.

I was a bit irritated at the host who talked over & interrupted Kim G. in her Saturday night show. I thought Kim looked a bit irritated at the host a couple of times.

Did you see the Sunday night Susan Graver show? It was a train wreck! I know that Susan is a talker and the host must learn to work around yet with her, But Rachel talked non stop about personal stuff and when / where to wear the clothes. It was like watching a Ping Pong match with non stop play by play!!! It was physically painful to watch. A human echo chamber.

Watched the AM show (this Am) w/SG and Rachael. Both talking at the same time. Hard to follow and understand.

They should respect each other and take turns presenting the items. Instead. it is a race and fight for camera time. Avoid the running up to the camera to get a face shot with the product. Stop competing for who knows the vendor more. The hugs on air are so phony as we all know that they have spoken in preparation for the show.

Rachel Boesing is one of the Worst interrupters, she even has to put her two sense in when it's not even her presentation

I give "hearts" to all your replies. The Q is now unwatchable and annoying. I watch on occasion only and on mute. Sometimes I'm waiting for a close up shot and there isn't one. Forget colors. They have no clue. Why all the laughing? Too much.
