Can the management team at QVC please ask Sandra Bennett to quit interrupting the guests and talking over them in a loud voice?

It's to the point where I change the channel when I see her on-air. (Stopped watching Jane T. a long time ago for obvious reasons.)

QVC, please listen to your viewers!!

You make a good point but you should go to feedback. I would imagine that is heard more than what we post here.

I have provided feedback. I don't think they listen to our complaints.

Sandra is the queen of interruptions. She'll ask a questions and interrupt while the vendor is attempting to answer.

Most of the Hosts rudely talk over the Rep's along with interrupting when the've asked the Rep a question .

Shawn is the Queenof interruptions along with Jane T !

I suspect she is told to say certain things when she is presenting and it just pops in her head and she says it. I would still rather watch her than some of the other hosts.

@QVC LOVER

I have noticed with Sandra Bennett that she has a tendency to start talking rather softly and slow, to the point where it's challenging to hear her, and then sure enough a couple of sentences in, she will get super loud, and then start interrupting the guests. I think this is very annoying!!

@QVC LOVER , I throughly enjoy Valerie Parr Hill.Love her ideas. Wish that Valerie could show products without a host. Had been looking forward to her show on Sunday night. Wish host had let Valerie show and display merchandise ALONE!!

I agree with you but I absolutely love VPH with Rick Doemier!! I think she just comes alive when she works with him! They complement each other perfectly. They are total opposites that fit together perfectly!

Yeah, she's another host guilty of this.

Super annoying as always, that is why I dont watch her. She was never like this before.

I think Leah and Lisa Robertson let vendors know ahead of time when to stop talking so the host can make a point. I don't know what the cue is, but for both of them, it just seemed like the vendor would stop and Lisa and Leah would add to or redirect them. I'm only speculating but if so, that seems the better way to do it than interrupting.

BTW, have you ever been watching and walked into another room? The noise coming from 2 people talking when you're in another room is something else. Must be that having the visual helps somewhat.

I've found there are more hosts who interrupt than don't. Some don't let vendors get a word in edgewise. It often feels like the hosts push the presentation in a certain direction and get all their information in regardless of what the vendor is trying to say. Sometimes it looks like the vendor is staring at the host while thinking, "What the heck am I doing here?" In the past, interruptions didn't seem as blatant as they are now. I would NOT want to be a vendor on QVC.

I think the one thing TPTB need to hear is what you intend to buy where you do feel listened to.

Sad to say that if those same powers tried to please me, I still will not be buying more clothes, jewelry, make-up, or home and holiday decor for the rest of this year.

I do still have 2 items on auto-delivery - A shipment from Elemis actually arrives tomorrow. The other product isn't scheduled until late spring of 2025 and I might have to cancel it totally. It's PTR retinol and my well-aged skin has me using it very sporadically.

@QVC LOVER. Here's the phone number for QVC headquarters. Perhaps you'd like to call and make your suggestion. I don't know any other "somebody" who'd do it.

Re: Sandra Bennett

ErmaJean — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 20:57:28 GMT

I couldn't agree more. That is so rude. It seems like it is Sandra's show instead of Valerie's. Sandra is supposed to be the host.

To be fair, I can't think of a single host that doesn't interrupt vendors or callers. They just can't stop themselves from telling us there are 4000 can openners remaining in lime green.

Remember they have the producers in their ear pieces telling them what to say.
