I think she has been more muted tonight.

I remember when she first started.  She has always done her homework.  However, maybe the last 5 years or so, she seems to have changed.  Not sure why, but, sometimes she almost comes off as being better than the guest.

Also, it would be nice if the hosts dressed up a little while they are hosting these holiday shows.  Most of them have been in drab blah colors and outfits.  


I was just saying to my mom how they used to wear holiday themed clothing during CIJ and don't do that anymore.


I don't really care what they wear, but I have to say Valerie has been sporting that same outfit since I can remember.  Red leather, black pants, and those black flats.  Get a new outfit.

I like Jill. I think she does a great job. Smiley Happy

Valerie has buyers and decorators that do the sets.  There are so  many of the items and things on the set that Jill has as much knowledge about or more than  Valerie does.

Valerie gets hard to listen to when you realize that it is her  name that has buying power because many of her items are Dollar store and Walmart quality,  Jill handles herself extremely well during these shows.

That's a polite and diplomatic way to say it, "an alpha host".....

 

Jill can be the star of her AT HOME WITH JILL shows, this is Valerie's Show!!!  Jill is best hosting alone.....JMHO

Jill should calm down & let Valerie explain the items after all it’s Valerie’s show ... I could never work with anyone like Jill & I am glad I don’t have to. 🙃

@Spurt.  I totally agree Jill is best alone.  Jayne Brown is the other Alpha Host and is also best alone.  Have you ever seen Jayne and Jill together?  No, because there would probably be bloodshed.

I appreciate when Jill takes over and speaks up. Valerie talks so softly you can't hear her half the time. They need to ask her to speak up or raise the volume on her mic.
