Maybe, but after I saw her items on HQ, I did a search for her on the Q and everything was either "clearance" or "while supplies last."

I only saw a few on clearance, but lots of easy pays.

Rachael's new Cucina line is at Amazon, Wayfair, Lamps Plus to name a few. You have to type in Rachael Ray Cucina. Four colors (names changed) plus dinnerware, pans etc. It does not have the stamped herbs but is like the new postings on QVC. Hope this helps!

Tara first appeared several years ago at midnight with Bob B. She had sets of her ceramics in solid colors. They sold like hot cakes. I do believe her dishes that night were the TSV, but not sure. I bought a set in medium blue. The quality was not good, the largest baker cracked soon after I started using it. Her products took off from there. As far as David is concerned none of us know what his position is in the planning and decision making is. I think even though we see him as a host, he is probably very involved in the business. Tara has made it up the ranks, and none of us will ever know how or why. It is what it is.

Regarding the idea that David Venable has had any bearing on who stays and who goes: The only person or people who make executive decisions at a shopping channel are TPTB -- not the hosts, not other vendors, no one but the bigwigs behind the scene.

This is not the schoolyard or some club; it's a multi-million dollar business. All decisions are based on numbers that will benefit the corporation.

I totally agree. I don't think David has anything to do with financing for Temp-tations or seeing that they are on air frequently. Tara has been on at least 10 years and we don't even know if they knew each other before she came to QVC. They do live in the same neighborhood now, but that doesn't mean they knew each other before. I guess Tara got financing the same way anyone else does that wants to start a new business. o/t I won't be disappointed if Rachael Ray leaves QVC. She has become so loud and pushy when she is on. She is rude to the hosts.

I have to agree with the others, so tired of seeing the same stuff all the time especially on DV show's. Alright already with Temptations line so tired of seeing that; and all the food lines they show over and over again for years please get some new items QVC.

As far as RR, last year she came back to QVC (so they said), after not being on for a long time, it sure didn't last long, haven't seen her for a long time. Then again, her stuff is always the same thing over and over again also.

They did say tonight that Emeril is back on QVC and has a show during this week, maybe he replaced RR?

I am more than tired of seeing the Temp items in all the cooking shows. I would prefer the chance to purchase from other vendors. That line would never be one of my choices. Besides, who has the room all that stuff requires?

I have it all in the dark blue, which is hard to find but really beautiful in my French Country kitchen...

Looks good, works great , and no crazing or cracking yet....

I thought I saw a new Rachel Ray 'Cucina' saucepot in yesterday's list of 'new'. I sure hope not, I really like the Cucina line. Temptations doesn't really fit in my kitchen/dining room - the patterns are a bit too busy.

I certainly hope not. I always - right or wrong - think of SHOP HQ as the 'cheesy' station.

I love RR's line and after reading this thread and made a quick check for "new" RR products. 12 NEW items came up, so I'm guessing we're not losing her here.

Customer service rep said that they are phasing her line out.

I'll believe it when I see it. Sorry, but CS reps have been repeatedly shown to NOT be in the know on much.

to me it does not appear they are phasing her out. she has some 255 merchandise listings. here on qvc. and by no means that i see are they all clearance out or last clicks. (-:
