They are salespeople and it is their job to sell products. You don't have to like the host or feel they are honest....if I like the product, I buy it. What Shawn wears in her personal life is no concern to me and should not be to anyone else. I was not a fan of LR thought she was very self absorbed. Do you really think she was in touch with young, older or anyone else or that she wore what she was asked to sell including the GILI junk. Was she really in touch with any viewer talking of Madison Avenue and the product looking monied? Shawn is quirky, funky, regular and at least moves around the set...not just standing there posing. Lisa was very aggressive in her sales approach. It is not a matter of young, old or middle aged, male or female..... The target audience is people who purchase items from TV.

I haven't watched since the debut. It is on too late for me. I don't care for Shawn's delivery or sales style, but I wish her well.

I do not believe a word she says. Her selling tactics are shifty.
And she is the only host that you do not believe?. You can say that about 100% of them then, because they're all shifty since their objective, of course, is one thing, they are there TO SELL, SELL. That's their job and that's what they get paid to do. I've seen MaryBeth and other hosts talk about skincare and makeup where they say they only use Dr. Perricone when DANA is on (you want to talk about shifty) then comes Dr. Denese, another one who says she wouldn't look so good for her age if it weren't for her products, really tell me that's not shifty? And ok then there goes the host saying hers is the best and they only use her products, oh and then there's Philosophy and Mally and Laura Geller and IT and the list goes on and on because they only say it's the best and they only use whatever product that vendor is showing at that specific time to make the big sale. So let's not single out only Shawn. I guess not only did she take Lisa's place on PMStyle but also as the new victim from all the haters. When Lisa left I knew there would be a new victim to take her place and I was right.

What????...There have ALWAYS been viewers who disliked Shawn, her style of dressing and selling tactics. The ongoing criticism of Shawn has NOTHING to do with Lisa's departure. {#emotions_dlg.ohmy} Say what you want, Lisa was a fashionista. I don't think anyone can honestly say the same of Shawn. I tuned in briefly last night and she had on an top and skirt that made her look like an "elf". {#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

Shawn is a product of QVC, things she is doing now as far as style, is not her style from comments she has made in the past. They are making her the new "it girl'. Bottom line, this is a business, they are in it for the money. Shawn is following the script laid out for her.It seems to be working.To me it all seems phony, because she is trying to hard to please, to be popular and to be everything to everybody. The bubble will burst, in other words here today gone tomorrow.

I love Jane and Pat. I also like Shawn especially when she and Isaac are together. I miss Lisa Robertson. She was uniquely informed and able to offer really good style suggestions. I appreciate guidance regarding how to pull a wardrobe together. Rather than larger than life personalities I would prefer seeing a host with experience in the fashion/design world or even a former stylist. I think one segment a week showcasing how to wardrobe for work , play or special events would be phenomenal.

I used to enjoy Monday nights. I always thought that PMS was for the girls while the guys watched football. It's so chopped-up now and PMS is on too late. I check-out "items recently on air" on Tuesday mornings to see if I am interested in anything but don't watch anymore. All QVC needed to do was find a new host that fit and update the fashions and leave everything else alone ( scheduling.) "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I absolutely agree with the O/P. Shawn is not for me, when she started correcting Isaac over some style detail, I thought who is SHE? Isaac has YEARS of experience over her! That's when I turned them off. I am sure she is nice but I honestly can't stand to watch; I was only watching just in case she might mellow. She is still has a way to go.

Why does it matter what Shawn wears? Whatever she's selling, she uses or wears.

My point is that if she's not truthful with her audience, why should we believe anything she says about the products she's selling.

I agree.
