First time watching this host on Q2

Just finished watching Q2 Temp tations Holiday Entertaining show with a host that I never watched before Avijah Scarborough I was wondering if others were  watching and felt she needed so much help from Lisa the vendor. She did not know the patterns names she was presenting, I was saying them out loud , the names were on her card,she even asked Lisa to name them,seemed vey flustered and Lisa looked a bit bewildered with her,Lisa could had  done the job by herself without a host as Lisa always knows her Temp tations.

Know it is a holiday weekend with maybe other host being off but she should be more prepared ,just was the wrong one to present Temp tations.

Watching the following show Gourmet Holiday show with John and I believe he is a newer host but  he knows what he is presenting.

I was looking forward to a two hour Temp-tations presentation. First of all, Lisa was remote. To me that says you just don't care enough to come in. There could be any number of reasons why QVC didn't have her come in, but that was my impression. If she were present, she would have been more of a help to the new host. And, yes. The host seemed unprepared and uncomfortable. I had not seen her before, but maybe another category is her strong suit. I turned it off and just looked up the Items Recently on Air.

I don't think appearing remotely has anything to do with "not caring enough" to come in.

Re: First time watching this host on Q2

This is probably the fifth show I've seen with Avijah over the nine months or so that she has been with QVC. She is never well prepared and she never seems very interested in any of the items she presents. I previously gave her the benefit of the doubt because she was new and still learning, but it has been long enough now that it's just not professional or acceptable behavior. Even with all the design options, Temp-tations is one of the easiest product lines to sell (especially when you have the VP of the company helping you), and she just did not do a good job. I think today was officially my last time watching when Avijah is hosting.

I only like watching fashion and accessory shows and I think that’s where Avijah Excels !! 💕


In fact the clothing looks just as nice or better on her than on the guest and models.


I watch Q2 when non fashion is on the main channel and she gives the guests styling ideas that they haven’t even thought of ! And Me either. 😜



I also feel Courtney K. does NOT have the enthusiasm needed for kitchen and food items or Home and gardening.

It’s like she’s saying…

How did I end up here ? 😂😂😂

@RescueLover    YUP, Courtney has been vocal in the past about NOT knowing her way around and a kitchen and has been very open about barely cooking and mainly do takeout. I hope her hubby brings in some nice dough for supplemental income for the frequent takeout! Takeout fees/charges on top of owing a solid tip is just getting out of hand, nowadays!

Re: First time watching this host on Q2

A host does well with a category they enjoy themselves.

 

A person either the husband or wife needs to learn to cook especially with children.  Don't want to raise them on fast food in my opinion.   My husband loved to cook and me not so much.  He did most of it and I dabbled in the kitchen.  I was good at the simple meals and he was great at the more elaborate dishes.   When he got sick I did the cooking and he enjoyed my cooking.  That was a first.  😝 So those simple dishes I did learn came in handy.  I enjoyed cooking more when I got older and seemed like so much work when working full time and raising a child.  I just wanted meal time out of the way.  I was great at housekeeping.  

I enjoyed when we cooked together.  I learned a lot.  Our daughter loves to cook and I say lucky me.☺️

Isn't she brand new?

 

I remember my first public presentations and how nervous I was. I messed it up bad the first time but got better each time and ended up giving presentations at national securities events and at our office all over the country.

Yesterday we had the exact thoughts and conversation as the program was airing. She needs to work on her presentation and knowledge.

@Mimi NY   I agree.  She needs a lot more training.She was hard to watch.
