Q Talk

[Cubs16]

It seems QVC is experimenting with more hosts cohosting shows.  Today we have Rick and Kerstin paired  for just a 2 hour show.  Possibly, one reason they're doing this is they have so many hosts since QVC 2 isn't live.

Don't think that's new.  Fri-ya has David and Jane paired together

The pajama twins - Shawn & ___(dark haired little gal)

Food shows usually have two - Rachael & Alberti or some 2

and on and on.................

@Cubs16 That's possible -  although I've never tried to count how many hours any host appears in a week or a month (I don't even know how their contracts are written.)   Another possibility is that cutting down the number of consecutive minutes a host has to use their voice serves to preserve those voices a bit. 

It also adds some variety to the presentation.  There are only a few host voices I like well enough that I'm willing to hear them for a few hours straight, so I like what they're doing.

Yes, they might as well double-up on hosting duties just to keep their [hosting] skills sharp.

We will never know how many hours they work because a lot of what they do is not on air.

I think Jane or David paired with anyone is just plain BAD ! ! ! !

Kirsten seems to do okay by herself but put her with a male host and she apparently feels compelled to put on a performance, which I prefer not to watch.

@Kachina624  I can't even watch her solo.  I do enjoy Rick, however.

You know, you are right.  And she's another SPEED talker also.

@bigtraps   Absolutely!  I've heard her introduce a product and she was talking so fast, I didn't understand a word she said.
