Food presentations

SaveADog — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 16:03:46 GMT

I had to change the channel when Julia was presenting the Farmer John's Popcorn. She was stuffing her mouth repeatedly as she continued to talk. Looked like she was feeding quarters into a slot machine in Vegas! Please tell the hosts that they should not talk while eating. Most people learned that as a child. Looks ridiculous on national TV. Lots of inappropriate behavior by some hosts lately.

People will complain about the hosts no matter what they do or don't do. They hate them eating the food during food shows. But I kid you not--I remember during Covid when the hosts didn't eat any of the food there were complaints about that! "Why aren't they eating the food?" Actually complaining that they wanted to see them eating the food. smh

@KKJ, You took the words right out of my mouth how people will complain about the hosts no matter what they do or don't do. It has become a daily complaint fest on this board.

There is no reason for the hosts to eat the food during presentations. The reason they taste the food is to say how delicious it tastes. Are they going to say otherwise?i do not need to see a person eating.

To me it seems like Alberti is having sex with the food he tastes.

@lilywhite That's the way it usually seemed when SandraB did the food shows.

I don't think the hosts would eat the food if QVC didn't encourage it. They all do it.

@TheMemphisVette @SaveADog

While I have no problem with hosts eating food on air, they should only do it when the other person is talking.

Justin was just on presenting shrimp burgers. Jane T. Was cohosting and when Justin tasted it and exclaimed how delicious it was, Jane said "and you don't even like seafood". Shows what good actors they are!

I LOL'd at your post as I kinda agree, but I think the one who was most guilty of this is former Q host Sharon Faesch!

The hosts are just doing their job. It's their QVC bosses' decision for them to eat on air, not an individual host's personal decision. Recently I saw a host selling and attempting to drink Poppi soda. The straw got away from the host's lips. For a second or two, out came the host's tongue, wiggling around trying to catch the straw to get it back in the host's mouth. I was instantly revolted. It's not like I thought about it, it was a sudden gut reaction I had. My issue, not the host. They're only human.

@lilywhite I agree 110%. All the moaning and gasps. He needs to get a room.

I don't care if they eat the food, don't talk with your mouth full. It is gross.

I"m so sorry (to Sandra), that I mis-spoke. I was meaning Sharon F.

I'm so very sorry.

I also understand the need for tasting food on air but it can be done with some civility and sense. Stuffing one's mouth like they haven't eaten in days, talking with a full mouth, playing with food eg. squeezing it into a ball and eating the whole Quiche serving like so starved to death, is a turn off rather than enticing most people to buy.

I rarely watch as not interested in food items but still have seen enough over the years. Take a taste and give the verdict which is always will be good.

Someone please tell Julia to SLOW DOWN when talking!! Or maybe I don't listen fast enough! Not sure, but she's hard to listen to.
