I think Albany is really cute. I also don't think she's a "bad" host. It's just the way she talks to the viewers-it must just be the way she speaks in general. I have said this before, and I'll say it again…she speaks to the viewers as if we are children in a kindergarten class. I don't think she's necessarily talking "down" to the viewers, but it's her style of presentation.

I actually prefer her to Shawn as at least she gives some product information.

I find Kerstin to be the one who is not fully prepared for shows. I've noticed on a few shows that she doesn't even know the details of the product or gives erroneous information and then is corrected.

Hey Win... Agree on Kerstin. She's quickly become one I make the effort to miss...

Actually she said it flipped open , not filleted open. Nothing wrong with the word flipped.

I think Albany is unwatchable if you're over 6. I can't stand being talked to as if I'm a child. She would be great hosting some kid show somewhere.

No, I watched and she said filleted, hence his comment about fish.

Watch the video ... They both say filleted 10 times and he talks about fish being filleted. Not bashing Shawn ... It was kind of funny is all.

Carolyn Gracie is the same way in her presentations. She talks baby talk to the viewing audience. Kitty's, puppies, bunnies... Uses simple child talk. She talks down to us like we are children. Maybe she thinks this is enduring ....it is not.

Do you mean "endearing"? Carolyn Gracie is one of the hosts that I can watch with no problem. I find her very down-to-earth. Not loud, not shrieking, not singing, not repeating her words numerous times. In fact, I find her almost endearing. Wink

I don't know if I agree about Sean but Albany sometimes talks like she thinks it's cute to be so 'down home'. That's the only way I know how to describe it.

I was raised by people who used a lot of Southern colloquialisms. I can tell you many of her's are made up. She just murders some words. I never spoke to my children like they were babies. I don't appreciate being spoken to as if "I" were a baby.

I usually change the channel when she's on. I can put up with a lot of things but being 'spoken down to' is not one of them.

My brain says, "That's the way she is. Just ignore it". However, one cannot ignore something that goes on for 3 *#@ hours.

I'm fairly new to qvc so had to Google Albany and this video was more than enough for me.... lol....so amateur...how did she even get this job!?! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iCeneM2XbbE
