Not a big Sharon fan here, but I'd certainly rather watch her host a fashion show instead of a food show, and I'd most definitely rather see her with Bob Mackie instead of Courtney C.

I like Sharon and Bob did also.  He told her how much he enjoyed working with her.  Seems like she is being criticized excessively lately.

I know many of you are Jackie G. fans,  but on several occasions I heard Bob reprimand her for foolish behavior and also needing to size up.  

Carolyn is a delightful woman, but I think she just has not reconciled herself to the recent weight gain.  Perhaps Bob's comments will help.

I was watching Bob Mackie with Carolyn yesterday.  Carolyn put on a vest that was being presented, and Bob made a comment about wearing the size that you should and not the size you want to be.  Carolyn handled it well, but he continued with comments about tight/unflattering clothing.  Carolyn was obviously taken aback, but just laughed and continued.  It was really difficult to watch.

Yes and the vest was 1 size too small on her. She blamed her too small clothes on the stylist. He was relentless and could not let it go.

I just watched the video posted about the exchange between Carolyn and Bob.  I am so not seeing what some are seeing.

 

Bob couldn't have been nicer and Carolyn went right along with him.  She put the vest on and he commented about how it looked pretty good because he wouldn't have thought to pick the color combo. she did.  Then he said the only advice he would give on clothing is to wear your size, not the size you want to be. Carolyn was laughing and even commented that viewers will point out, in a nice way, if something doesn't fit.  Bob asked if she gets letters and she said she gets comments about how much they like her but she needed a size XL and she forwards all the comments to her stylist.  They had a lovely exchange and I don't think he was commenting to her about her size being wrong and didn't see where she was taken aback at all. 

 

I don't know what size they put on the racks now but in the past I remember hosts saying that all the clothes hanging on the racks for them to show were a small, not necessarily the size the host took, so that is why if they put something on from the rack it may be too small or too big.  Often Jayne will make a comment if she grabs something from the rack that it's not her size.

 

As for Sharon, she just bores me to tears.  She and Sandra both just don't hold my interest at all and I never watch them.

I have heard Isaac suggest to Shawn that she should try a larger size.

I agree absolutely. Watched Courtney C. w/Angel today, and I had to get rid of her. She's so interested in telling about her life. Angel tried pulling her back to the product. Tough job.
