Re: What is about Lisa R that gets so much responses?

It didn't take long for the jealousy card to be played.

What about those who worship her? Isn't it a bit ... creepy?

I do think a lot of the hatred towards her is ridiculous, but so is the fawning and worship.

I think pure jealousy. Lisa is a great host, beautiful, and her sense of humor is a plus. Great Southern woman!!!


Why is it that whenever someone does not care for someone else, it is chalked up to jealousy? Maybe some people just don't care for her . . .

Lisa is a lot of things, but polarizing for sure!

I think it's because if you don't care for someone, you have no interest in wasting your time discussing them. If you're jealous, however; you've got some issues and on some level it makes you feel better to keep trashing them in endless threads.

Re: What is about Lisa R that gets so much responses?

I have yet to figure this one out. There seems to be a huge 'I hate Lisa R and everything about her' contingency here. I always thought she seemed lovely and well-informed as to the products she presents.

That said, however, I watch very VERY little QVC anymore, and for the past few years.

Re: What is about Lisa R that gets so much responses?

I think there's a huge difference between worshiping someone and just being a fan. LR is a darned good salesperson and I think she has some loyal fans. I don't see them as worshiping her or thinking of her as a pseudo-friend. Admittedly, though, I avoid most host threads, so I haven't read each and every post on her. I'm not sure why I even opened this one.

I don't think they are admiring her salesmanship. Sorry, not buying that. But they do use that as a conscious reasoning.

Being a good salesperson means that your customers come to trust you at your word. Add in a little girl talk and a joke here and there and you've got fans. Some people just find her enjoyable to watch and there's nothing wrong or creepy about that.

ITA!!!

I could care less about her but when I do happen to turn it on, she is always admiring herself in the camera. I change the channel.

Re: What is about Lisa R that gets so much responses?

I agree, there is nothing creepy about those who enjoy watching her. Smile Same for the other hosts. It's when it is taken to the next level, as I already referred to above.

We all have our likes and dislikes. We should recognize that in each other, if we can, and not jump to defend to the point of attack, anyone who disagrees.

Re: What is about Lisa R that gets so much responses?

I never comment on Lisa......frankly because I don't really care. But since you asked, here is why I think she is so polarizing. Everything about her is phony. From her exaggerated and over the top makeup and hair....to her fawning all over herself in the monitor......to her fake gushing over products that you just know she wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

More power to her. She makes loads of money, seems to love her job, and looks like she has a fun life.
