@CelticCrafter  yes you can, but that is not the point. Some want to watch the program to see the items. Preaching about what affects a host gets tired after a while. I, for one, do not want a host telling me how to live my life. Gets very boring, very fast.

@Golfchef  Rosina Grosso gave a beautiful shout-out to her hubs (Paulo) today and showed a pic of him with Rosina and their child. It was beautiful. It doesn't have to be a downer to remember loved ones who have gone before us. I lost my dad in 1987, and DH lost his in 1976. Today, we remember them fondly and with a few tears,  and also celebrate our son and our SIL who are great dads. It isn't a downer to me.

Re: Awkward Dads Day

[ Edited ]

Thank you Pa Mom mom!  I needed to hear your response.  My daddy died in 2021.  I love and miss him so much.  Again, thank you.  Rosina is such a beautiful person inside and out.  She and David were exceptional today.

Re: David......At least he isn't 'pushing' overly sugar-y food choices at a time when he has actually cut back sugar in his real life. 

 

That would be slightly hypocritical, imo. 

 

Better to be honest up front.

Please be kind.  If you do not like the show just turn it off. No one is asking you to watch.  It blessed my heart for remembering my dad today.  Do you care?  No, of course not or you would have not posted what you did.  I will be here for you when you need me.  Sincerely,  addie

I rarely watch David because I am not into cooking or kitchen stuff. However I have heard him mentioning his high protein low carb diet. Once in awhile is fine because people may want to know how he lost weight. But to continue to harp and preach about it is disrespectful to QVC and the audience. Do your job and sell the products. This is not a platform for him to preach his personal diet and weight plan. That plan may not work for everyone and that should not be the focus of his presentations on QVC.

I agree with you @Golfchef. It was awkward. They did the same thing on Mother's day. I saw the carpet cleaner demo. He became so emotional he couldn't speak. It was sad. Not the best idea for a shopping channel.

love hearing hosts and guests remembering their fathers and father figures, whether they are still on this earth or not. sharing love and good memories is always a good thing.

 

so sad that this thread had to turn into a "pick on david" thread. it was inappropriate to say the least.

Father's Day always reminds people of their dads....living and dead. There is nothing wrong with talking about a deceased dad.

 

I'm lucky to still have my dad, almost 92. I plan to talk about him when he's no longer with us too.

 

Mother's Day is the same. I lost Mom 5 years ago and still talk and think about her, especially on Mother's Day. 

 

It's ridiculous to think talking about deceased dads or moms is inappropriate.
