Is It Just Me .... What's Up with Sandra's Gardening Presentations?!

I used to LOVE the gardening shows when Sandra hosted them. I was really looking forward to them this year. She was always so soft spoken, polite to vendors, informative, etc. Now she just interruptes all the time and talks very loudly and quickly, almost like she wants to get her point across and not be interrupted. .I feel bad for the vendors. The last couple shows I came away with questions that she kinda stompted on when the vendor was trying to provide details. Then it got even worse when she was paired with Alberti.  As I said in the subject line ... Is it just me?

It's not just you @MsValentine .  I've noticed her style has changed from previous years.  I've also read many comments here on the forum describing her as you did.

Not just you. I think her style has gone through a huge change.

@MsValentine   The perfect nic for today...Heart

 

I don't watch many shows and have seen Sandra once or twice in the last month. I think all the hosts are "under the gun" and fearful their jobs will be handed down to a younger, less paid, replacement. Sales Sales Sales is the only thing keeping them there.

 I just turn the volume down a litte, it works wonders.

Lately she gives me a migraine.  I have to turn her off.

I've muted from time to time and then look up the product on-line to get the details. Just shouldn't have to do that. Smiley Sad

There are some hosts that for whatever reason just rub me the wrong way.  I don't always know know why but I never cared for Kerstin, Jennifer, Sandra and a couple of others.  It's just their style.

 

I don't like watching when Sandra is on and every time I see her now (I was also interested in a few gardening items) I keep thinking that she's channeling her inner teen with those 60's styled bangs!  I used to like her several years ago though.
