Some hosts I cannot watch and I don't have anything good to say about them so that's where it ends.

I really enjoyed Nancy this morning and thought she did a great job with Valerie.

 

She has a wonderful voice for tv-not loud or growly or valley speak, just mellow and calm with genuine excitment.

 

She let Valerie speak and listened without waiting to jump in breathlessly with the updates.

 

I did not hear her say right a lot at all.

I do often hear longtime hosts jump in with every thing the vendor says with a brethless exclamation or remark. They probably are not even aware they say it now and were taught to say that or acknowledge every   single    word!

Maybe change the producers or whoever is telling all these hosts to act a certain way and say the same things over and over.

 

It must be so difficult to get the timing right with saying what the annoying producers are telling you to say-we have 150 left, these are going fast, all the while listing the colors etc while still trying to listen to the host and being authentic or just being themselves.

 

I have noticed that all are probably taught to-

slow... down the... last... words and also to always say "All.....the....way...around."

 

I give Nancy an A plus for saying "360 degrees" instead of that overused and silly phrase.

 

I also thought Monifa did a wonderful job with Valerie at 1am. She has a very good voice too.

I really liked that entire show and you could tell Valerie seemed very comfortable with both and enjoyed it too.

 

I did think the religious part got a little too much because I think it makes people who do not feel all those beliefs feel left out and or uncomfortable. Like they are only talking to a certain segment of people and really with selling anything you do not want that.

I think Monifa was terrible with Valerie at 1am .. she didn't shut up for one second & didn't give Valerie a chance to talk.. Valerie didn't say anything but, didn't seem to be happy with Monifa 😁

I agree with Donna and turned her off also. The problem may be Carmie that's two of  us turned her off, wonder, how many others did too?  


If she bothered me I would turn her off too.  There's nothing wrong with that.

 

I would just do it and not run to the forums to post about it....but that's just me.  It doesn't do any good to complain.  

 

We all have something about us that might irk others. It's part of being human. We are all different and everything isn't to our individual liking.  We should accept that.

I watched both shows, with Monifa and Nancy and thought both did a good job.  I prefer others with her but I had no complaints about either one of them.

@Donna2019  Just a different opiniona altogether here. I think Nancy is a lovely lady and is doing a fine job at the q. I enjoy seeing her. She is like a much needed breath of fresh air.

Sounds like I missed nothing. I am never interested in anything that Valerie is selling it all looks like stuff you can get a Hobby Lobby for alot less money. I've never seen a NY show so can't comment on the delivery.

Who ever the host is (11 am show) that is on with Valerie is very annoying - Right, right, right. I think that's all she knows how to say - right, right....right. I ended up changing the channel after hearing her keep saying right...right....right...UGH !!! Right !!!


@Donna2019.  Would you rather she let Valerie talk or she talk about her vacation, her dog, her kids,  what she had for dinner last night? 

 

I find it refreshing to have a hosts that actually let's a vendor talk about her product.

@on the bay 👏👏👏 I CONCUR with EVERYTHING you said about Val and Nancy in this lovely post❤!!!🤗 This is my third post today regarding Val so you know I gotta LOVE her!😁

 

I appreciate the segments regarding faith because it is so important to me now, and purchased the pink set of mini Prayer Garden hurricanes last evening, but I can understand how off-putting it might be to those for whom that is not a consideration.🥰

 

Edited because I forgot to include Nancy; my main reason for posting.😊

 

 

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I prefer Valerie to be paired with either Alberti, Jayne Brown, Ali Carr, Vanessa Herring, Jennifer Coffey or surprisingly, Rick.
