I started watching Q back when it had just become Q, and shows were more personable, and before the use of .com, and you wished on the more rare cooking shows they would present X item.......The quality of the items was much better......THEY were not shipping and handling hoarders........The rare kitchen shows meant so much more.....Diamonique was there big seller, with more of those items........2 hour shows were considered the "long shows"......They really gave a viewer more excitement over a show, and not the same old same old......I remember when Tfal, and Nesco were the big sellers, and so long in between presentations....No shows showing just one item or brand at a time......Maybe they should go back to that.........Then the 50 in 50 tour, and cook books were more personable, rather than what they are today......more recipes from numerous people, not just one person...I long for those days to come back..........{#emotions_dlg.sad}

It couldn't be too bad. No matter what happens in the life of these Hosts they always come back. Babies, they come back.

My guess is it's a combination. They like the environment and the pay is good.

How many ways can a person say, "Buy this".

There are a number of people who would love to be a host for the Q. I am certain they receive a number of job request daily. So many people are unable to work, are still without a job or still recovering from the downward economy. The number of actual hosts is a small subset and new talent is always just around the corner. It would be hilarious if a hosts did not appreciate how lucky they are and lost their position due to such behavior.

Lisa was on CNBC one time and said they can't make exaggerated claims or QVC can be sued. Imagine having that hanging over your head.

has anyone figured out it might be a good idea to rewrite the script?

It's like any job where you deal with the public and have to repeat the same information over and over during the course of a day. I had to interview people all day long and there were times when I would have to pause and stop to think if I had already touched on one required point or if I hadn't told them that bit of information yet. It's not an easy thing to do, to keep the information fresh and engage your audience, and not appear bored while delivering the same information for the twentieth time in the day.
