It was nice to see live presentations and having the guests, back live. I sure hope that will continue. Thanks!

The vendor has to pick up the tab for their own travel expenses, I would think that would be significant. And we pay for it.

 

I have never felt the need to see a person right on the show, I think the remotes have turned out very nicely.

I have no problem guests coming in remotely.  Saves everyone money.  I t hink for the guests that live a distance away and would have to fly in and get a hotel room, it just makes more sense to do remote spots, 

 

If I like something I buy it regardless of where the guest is.  Quite frankly, in the days long ago, guests were very rare and the hosts really had to know the product.  I must prefer that to a guest for every product.  It just makes no sense to me at all.

My biggest complaint is that clothing colors are distorted, during the remotes. Studio lighting vs poor vendor lighting, keeps me from buying, because i'm not sure what the right color is.

 

Makeup shows where the host is 6ins from the camera are tought to watch too.

I agree there is nothing like a live performance and the interaction between the host and presenter.  I believe you get more information in a timely fashion and there is no difficulty seeing or hearing the presentation.  I also believe it helps the hosts do a better presentation.  I think it is far less distracting like remote. It flows easier and you get the real life picture of the product they are presenting.

It's a business expense so it's a tax write off, and with the money they make I think they can afford it.

Isn't that the truth?!  The remote shows (ALL of them) the colors are not even close to what is being shown live.  If it's a remote show only, it would be next to impossible to know what the true color is.  So definitely better to have vendors live at the studio with the products.
