When Shawn is on with Isaac I get rattled. Isaac will be describing his design and that dodo Shawn opens her mouth and words spurt out that do not add to the presentation. Then Shawn prattles on and on about insignificant information that does nothing to interest the customer. Then all of a sudden it's all about Shawn and Joe. Enough already. This is the Isaac show and personally I buy because of Isaac's descriptions. Shawn clutters the program. I'd rather shop Isaac designs on line so I can think about the product. I cannot watch that dumb duo together. So Isaac continue to describe your products and stay away from Shawn.

Yep, she asked for it, they both needed that comment. Guess he didn't believe it was a dumb act on Shawn's part. I would have been watching and buying if Shawn hadn't been the host so much. Rude? She was rude first and he didn't want to roll over. Didn't watch this time either, just found the video.

He did say that they are both beautiful but that they need to expand their vocabularies. I do not feel that he was out of line, I agree with him. These women are selling fashion so they should be familiar with fashion terms and designs. I laughed when she said "are you calling me dim?" Shawn asks the same questions over and over; I think she is trying to ask questions the viewer may want asked. Just like the hosts ask Josie to tell the French woman story everytime.

""Fair Isle"" is a multi-syllabic phrase?

I count two syllables in that term. What am I missing?

I'm only watching this show to get the sweater but I avoid Shawn whenever possible. She's so loud, talks over her guests and just drives me crazy. She's too over the top for my taste. I keep turning the volume down/up/down/up.

Isaac keeps trying to talk about the product but she just butts right in. Get her off.

I think they post questions that a viewer might ask to keep them informed. I don't necessarily think they are playing stupid/dumb/cute.

I agree with sparklestar, in that, sometimes Shawn asks questions that I am sure she knows the answer too but realizes that not everyone may know the answer too. I just saw the video and I think what Isaac did made it seem as if he is better than everyone else and is the vocab police. Please, no one is perfect. If you cannot say something nice about someone then do not say it. By throwing in a compliment like you are pretty and then practically saying you are dumb just does not make sense. There is a time and place for that and it is not during a presentation but after the show as to not make a big scene out of it. Rude.

Nothing. That's why Isaac retorted as he did.

I think he had finally reached a point where he said what was on his mind. These hosts are selling clothes, and they should have some training in terms that a clothing designer would use. And if Albany did not know what it meant, then graciously ask the meaning rather than accusing Isaac of using too big words for her poor widdle brain to handle. Seriously.

I know what FairIsle is, and so do a lot of women who are interested in clothes. The hosts who present jewelry seem to be pretty well versed in all sorts of gems, then why can't the hosts who sell clothing be acquainted with various clothing terms? Or is that too much for some of them to handle? Be careful Albany or you will be relegated to the fitness shows and food shows along with Dan Wheeler.

I agree. After all, the Fair Isle design has been around for a very long time - why wouldn't someone presenting clothing know that term? Or for that matter, know that it's two words, not a "multisyllabic" word?

She showed her ignorance and I think it was totally unprofessional of her to hurl that accusation at him. When she asked "Did you just call me dim?"...well, if the shoe fits.

She is the one host that I cannot watch; I can put up with the idiosyncrasies of all the others, but not hers. I checked out the video for this item to see exactly who said what and IMO she was in the wrong. Her job is to give the information to the customer, not to reprimand the vendor. Perhaps the PTB at the Q will take Isaac's advice and buy her a dictionary.

She said multisyllabic words. Fair Isle is two words. She apparently never heard it before, and thought it was one word, and still it wouldn't qualify as multisyllabic. The multi in multisyllabic refers to "many; more than two" webster. The word isn't usually used to refer to phrases, for obvious reasons.

Just waited the entire Video this time, boy was Albany miffed. Kept throwing the word "fair- isle" in his face. Really unprofessional. He dropped it, tried to called her beautiful again,,finally tried to drop it, but she wouldn't, all the way to the end of the presentation. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the camera stopped.
