Antonella.......SLOW DOWN........

girl and breathe~you are talking so fast I can't understand you. I feel like I am on the fairway at the state fair with "hawkers" beckoning me in to look. I love you.....but give the squawking a rest! AND, PLEASE.....no more "fresh from the fair"......I know it is the catch phrase for the day but not every other word.

Re: Antonella.......SLOW DOWN........

I don't know how people can talk without taking a breath; I can't and wouldn't want to.

I like her a lot but tonight it is hard to watch the show. She is all wound up.
Bring her the olive oil!

Maybe you need to learn how to listen faster.

Re: Antonella.......SLOW DOWN........

If you think Antonella is talking too fast you have to listen to Amy when she is hosting ... not only does Amy talk fast, fast ,fast but she mispronounces the words so you have a double whammy and can't understand anything!

Re: Antonella.......SLOW DOWN........

I think Antonella was just very excited she loves jewelry! Love Antonella !! Jill is the one who never ever takes a breathe , she is a very annoying host to say the least, a lot of name dropping as well by her.... IMO. I have noticed the mispronouncing of some words by A my, but it is only words with an ending of OL , as in cold, sold, hold etc. I do like Amy though , she is so cute! And dose do a great job!!

Re: Antonella.......SLOW DOWN........

Antonella and all hosts detract from the presentation of the item being sold because they either talk too fast, babble on about their families or life experiences, wear ugly nail polish, over-sell the product, laugh too much, wobble the ring stand...just cannot watch them! QVC needs to stop making the programs about the hosts...they are just selling in front of a camera and at times they are ill-prepared. Many times they don't even know the color of a tee shirt even when they refer to their blue cards...annoying.

Re: Antonella.......SLOW DOWN........

Atonella, like me, is from South Central PA. We all talk fast here. We can understand each other quite well because we're used to it.

It's very difficult to realize how fast we do talk until we are reminded by non-locals.

I think Antonella has been trying to work on this from day one, as sometimes she speaks so slow, it drives me nutz.

Everyone is different and unique. Try to be understanding.

((())))***** hugs and kisses, it's almost Valentine's Day!

This reminds me of when I was younger people would always tell me I talked fast and I would reply ""you listen slow"".

Re: Antonella.......SLOW DOWN........

I tuned in for very little and Antonella is a host I saw.

I cracked up when she was presenting something and then was explaining, I think easypay, for new shoppers and she said "if you are thinking who is that woman with the big teeth and big mouth on tv selling stuff."

Struck me as funny.
