Rachel didn't talk like that when she first started as a host.  I think none of them did.  They are creations of qvc where some idiot thinks talking at 90mph creates excitement and thus sales.  They are dead wrong; it just irritates viewers who soon change the channel.  I wonder if those Q geniuses realize that many seniors process words more slowly so don't "get" all that's said on speed-talk.  They leave, frustrated.

Try watching on mute with some nice music,  or there's always closed captioning.

@Tori3569.  There's no one single reason the Q is in troubl3 except perhaps poor management decisions resulting in too much debt. 

Hey, i lived 35 years in Texas.  Northeasterners talk way too fast.

In some parts of the country, a "fast-talker" is a con man...

Fast talking means sales. Rachel is good at it. However it bothers me when a single person dominates the whole show over everyone else. I like to watch the Denim & Co. shows too but the new rep Lisa looked like she wanted to leave. Rachel takes over.

We watch Fox & Friends every morning. They will have a guest on that they are interviewing. They give him/her a certain amount of time to speak but then comes the fast talking from the host and he knows he has to get that commercial in so he speeds up and boom! Cuts the poor guest off for the commercial. GOT to get that commercial in. I think it's terrible.

DH often complains about young-ish people talking too fast now-a-days.

In person, customer and other services via phone, etc.

Rachel appears to think that talking nonstop is being a good host.

@D Kay That's for sure. Can't watch her or Alberti. Too much silliness, etc, but the fast talking is the worst.

Rachel said today she spent 17 years as the TV weather person.  I think it is now ingrained in her, she had so many years of having to say a lot, in a small amount of time which is typical of how the weather is presented.

@Bhvbum I don't believe that. She's just making excuses.
