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.

{#emotions_dlg.lol} true!

Don't they all gush over what they're selling? It seems to me they do, in one way or another.

Yes, of course. I also realize that is her job, she certainly isn't going to like everything she sells, I wouldn't.

I don't get why she's singled out. She seems nice, she's polite, she has fun while she sells and she does a good job.

I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I find those who trash her to be the ones with the problem.

I find those who either trash her.........or adore her to have equal problems.

Maybe, but trashing well known women who haven't really done anything bad is just wrong, imo. It's done all the time, and for sure, there's no equal trashing of men by the same people.

Noel ~ HAHAHA! I think the hosts do a great job, and they have their favorite items/lines that they like to show and plug...nothing wrong with that.....that salesmanship has allowed my to try items I wouldn't have normally ordered......

Years ago, when I first discovered shopping channels, there was a cute guy on HSN ( think it was HSN).

The guy who married one of the other sellers, does anyone remember him?

I was watching him one day when he was presenting jewelry, and after he showed an item, he looked into the camera and said something close to, "This is just junk. I can't believe we're selling this. I don't recommend it to anyone."

That was the only person I've ever seen on HSN or QVC who was honest.

Too bad there aren't more show hosts like him.{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

ITA! I wish someone could remember his name...

Not the guy who does the "dirty" shows, although I like him, too, especially his mother, LOL.

I tend to agree. I don't understand the preoccupation with her....or with anyone on TV really. I can understand having a positive or negative feeling about someone, but trashing someone who you don't know personally......and who hasn't done a thing to you.....seems a bit nutty to me. But some people have emptier lives than others......

I wouldn't either. I can't imagine doing that job and all it entails everyday. And be gracious on top of that...nope I can never do it. I'd be fired. {#emotions_dlg.blush}
