I can only watch Albany for a VERY short period of time. I'm convinced she thinks she's just about the funniest, cutest thing going. In my opinion -- she is definitely NOT!

Personally I like Shawn but not Albany; however, I can remember a time when there were many complaints about Issac's vocabulary and the fact that he would scream "nooooooooooooooo" when something would sell out.

Isaac could use "work" on his vocabulary (actually, lack of it) too!

Just watched the video of Isaac's comments on Albany and Shawn's needing a vocabulary. He made the remark quite pleasantly and graciously, preceding it by saying that both were "beautiful, but....." He is absolutely correct, particularly in the context in which he made the comment. He was likening the yoke of the top to that of a Fair Isle sweater, and Albany told him that he was throwing "multi-syllabic words" at her that she didn't know. I agree that she should have known what he was talking about, and both she and Shawn, as well as some of the other hosts, often come across as unworldly and fairly uninformed about a variety of subjects.

Love Issac and is comment was spot on. Wish he would have said it to Shawn though, as she is the worst offender -- both in made up words and really dumb questions and comments.

I'm not a huge fan of Shawn or Albany, but I thought that was rude of Isaac.

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'm with Isaac on this one. I've noticed him hold back before, but maybe she finally hit a nerve when she fired the first shot, accusing him of using "multi-syllabic" words.

Albany, did you know that "multisyllabic" is a multisyllabic word?

It's one thing to be ignorant, and quite another to judge others for not being as ignorant as she is!

Now I have to admit I could be biased because I can't stand her.
