Q Talk

[Shanus]

Guess she or her “show” was not widely accepted. She announced last night that it was the final episode of Kim Gravel Now. 

I have not figured out yet what Q was thinking taking a vendor and making her a host, but obviously the experiment just didn’t pan out with the QVC audience.

Kim will go back to her clothing line and makeup, but Kim’s poor best friend Amy (from oblivion) is no longer a “star”.

***On the flip side, if the show had worked out, all hosts would have been been out of a job. It would have proved the vendors could handle the shows themselves.

Good news....

I believe it was a limited run not a permanent thing

however, I didn't see it

I'm not a fan of KG.  Never watch her and never watched her NOW show.

I was ready to turn the tv off when the first thing she said was about the last episode. Happy dance at my house.

It was a limited edition of shows...Yes she is loud and I know that some don't like her style but as far as presenting the products, I thought she did a good job.

@ShanusI suspect switching from being a vendor to hosting isn't as easy as it looks from the outside. Besides I know for me a bit of Kim is enough for me.

Kim isn't the first vendor who has tried a show of their own and retreated to vending, so I really don't agree with your flip side.  I can't think of any vendor I'd be tuning in to watch -  not even those from the brands I buy repeatedly and certainly not those for the brands I never watch already.

So -- what vendor could run their own show for you?

@millieshops   I think Susan Graver, Lori Goldstein and Mally, to name a few, do not need a host to repeat what they’re already saying. They have their own ear pieces to relate what’s selling out and I’m sure the producer can give them any additional info needed. Any additional info is on the screen/monitor for them to read. Maybe if some of the hosts w/ high salaries can be eliminated, the prices of items can go down.

@Shanuslol    I agree those 3 might do their own shows, but the one I already buy from, I want to be working along with a host and the other 2???   I already don't watch either one.  More than anything else, if I'm actually listening to QVC, when it comes to the host, it's the voice quality that attracts me or has me muting the dialogue.

@millieshops   If I watch, it’s on mute. There are few hosts/vendors I can stand to listen to...loud, fast and too much laughing and chit chat.
