How about when Leah has to say "WOW....." especially when she's doing a beauty show? She continuously does this when they show a before & after shot, doesn't matter what line she is presenting. The vendor will start to give those stupid clinicals, as in "after 4 weeks, 85% of people saw decreased fine lines...." and Leah will start with the WOW. Don't even get me started on Mary Beth (who I do like) but with those breathy wows even when selling a vacuum. These people need to audition for Broadway.

Amy Morrison on HSN is the worst....She was on tonight with the most hideous maxi dresses I have ever seen and her gaspy, breathless WOW'S" were over the top.

Don't worry, be Happy!

Go over to HSN for some world-class gasping. The women also do that gasp/growl throat sound. Ugh

I think they have to take the Breathy Gasp Class once a year.

And Mary Beth can teach the class. She's queen of the breathy ""yeah"" while looking at a mop.

I second the ""nobody does it better"" (i.e. worse) than HSN ladies. Leah's wows make me want to throw things at the TV.

Amy was on again last night with Perlier and her throaty Oooooos over a bottle of shampoo were sickening.

Don't worry, be Happy!

The hosts on Qvc never used to do this. I remember the hosts on other channels do this often and I would think to myself how glad I was that Qvc hosts did not do that because it is super annoying! It sounds phoney, and like the hosts don't know the product, and are seeing it for the first time. How about when Joy Mangano says "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!" why is she saying that if she developed the product.

LOL. They have to feign enthusiasm for the product even though they are familiar with it.......
