I've seen Kristine Zell now in more prime spots on Q2 which baffles me.

@Lipstickdiva - Wow, that must have been tough not to have any idea beforehand and to be told by your employer that you no longer have a job.

I wish her the best and I know she'll be fine with finding a new job.

@San Antonio Gal

That was like poor Dave James ....a host I liked, plesant, calm, gave good product info...after he finished a show he said. ..."see you tommorrow with ..." mentioned the product and BOOM...we never saw him again..Thät must have been a shock to him.....Heard he has a photography business......

They probably told her she was going to have to do something stupid like serve mocktails, and she said "Do what?"

I think it's a crying shame Cathy was let go.

She may have improved but it comes down to her productivity. I wouldn’t be
surprised to see other hosts be let go. There are so many new people. They will
get weeded out eventually. The ones that sell will stay, the ones that don’t will be
gone. If you pay attention the top producers have their own shows in very
specific time slots. David, Jane T, Shawn, Amy, Rick, & Carolyn Gracie are the top
money makers. It’s a sales business.
@Patz822 Yeah, we all know it's a sales business but we can only guess who the top producers are. Sorry, you're guessing and don't know any more than anyone else here.
@WindingRoad - I was going to ask @Patz822 how she knew who the top producers of QVC were. I thought maybe she read about it somewhere.

Unless it's posted somewhere, there's no way for anyone to know who the top sellers are.

QVC has to do some form of public reporting of their business, it's a public company, there are business people who know how to parse out all available information to know what's going on inside. Competitors would love to know & pay good money for it, I'm sure at least some of the information is available on the internet if you know where to look.

It's no secret DV is their #1 sales person.

I don't watch enough to have favorites but I remember when CP first came on, she seemed very inexperienced & awkward, but many months later I caught her on an early morning program & she had improved tremendously.

I was very surprised when she & her husband bought a house in PA last year, according to her IG page. I always find it interesting when the new hosts get hired and they buy property so quickly. NYC rentals and mortgages are extremely high for the smallest space, even on the outskirts of the city. I wish them all luck & success with their next move.

By the way, her IG page is wonderful. She likes to travel a lot, and cook and has a great sense of humor.

C.P. was the most improved of the fab ~~five,~~ four. She was one of my least favorite in the beginning. (now my favorite)

I am surprised by this news.

I wish her well.

That's unfortunate. I liked her. Wishing her good luck.

She was smart, science background. Maybe The producer told her to say something to move sales in that earpiece and she ignored them because she knew it was off base.

Thanks, I had to take a connecting flight to get to it because it's not one of the first search results on google. I actually had to key in the URL.

@Bird mama

I can't find it to save my life. I've googled A TON but the ones I come up with are related to the Q and when you click on them, no longer there. I had seen it on another board I read, someone there had copied her post saying it wasn't her choice.

Honestly Cathy got almost two years at Q under her belt. I thought she was very smart and omg she greatly improved. Kristine Zell at 2 years should be alot more polished. There are newer hosts that are better then she is. Mainly I think Ali, Katrina and Terri are the best. Courtney she is very sweet but she us struggling and Rachelle reminds me of Kristine she stumbles, gets descriptions wrong and is trying to hard
