I always get the biggest kick out of Leah Williams' body language when Dennis comes on set with her. 


@PansyBoo - Why?  What does her body language say?  (I've never seen them work together, because I don't watch much anymore.)

I sprung for the dress in black.  I will wear it to work with flat black sandles.  The model Kate is I think almost as tall as me (5'11") and that dress should hit me at my knee.  If not it's going back because the back hangs longer and I think it would look weird.  It fit Courtney perfectly, but she's short.

He's always going to eventually come in for a hug and a kiss. And from her body language it seems she'd just as soon skip it. Of course my opinion only but I saw it happen yet again this week and even commented on it to my husband.

I don't know which show  you were watching, but my wife and I were watching that show. 

Dennis was a great host and spoke easily to all the vendors in his show. 

Courtney , unfortunately, looked shaken and wooden along side him and never stood next to him which seemed odd. 

Dennis could have done the show himself.  The set was pure Dennis Basso, very elegant. 

I hope Courtney gets to work with Jane T. so Jane can mentor her more. 

She is pretty woman, but she still needs help sometimes.

I would think that will be Shawn's show with Dennis next week?

@Ric2I disagree respectfully. Courtney was neither shaken or wooden. She is very professional. Maybe she never stood next to him because in essence, it WAS Dennis show. She was IMO deferring to him. Very classy and very professional.

 

IMO, I also do not agree that Courtney needs more mentoring from JT. In fact, I think that JT can pick up a few tips from Courtney. Like speaking calmly and softly and not sreaming and jumping around.

 

Courtney doesn't need anyone. I have seen her carry huge shows all on her own and do it well. To me, she has had that ability since she was first hired. JT, IMO, just isn't needed with her.

Re: Dennis Basso & Friends Thursday nights for an intimate evening

This was Dennis' second show tonight. 

Mally is so great with Dennis- she played off of him very effectively. 

As I have said before, Courtney is a pretty girl, but she really looks out of place and is constantly staring at herself in the nearest camera and not talking to Dennis. She may be demurred with Dennis, but someone like Shawn can go toe to toe with Dennis or maybe is can be the Dennis and Mally show? I know Courtney tries, but maybe is better on QVC-2? I mean no disrespect, its just a distracting at times.

This is a great show. Yeah they still had on Mally who I feel didn't really lean into the theme. But Courtney is really coming into her own and is refreshing. 

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Re: Dennis Basso & Friends Thursday nights for an intimate evening

Courtney should be by herself. I disagree that JT should mentor Courtney, I think JT over takes Courtney & it’s obvious that it’s JT’s show & she calls the shots & expects the BFF act. I find that JT tries to emulate Courtney ( note the pointed nails in gold) & is struggling with the fact she is aging, no matter what she says about being fabulous over 50. They are separating them from the “Shoe Shopping” shoes & I hope that means Courtney will do more on her own. She dresses in her own style when doing special shows & imo, she has the best sense of style & looked quite elegant on Dennis’s show.
