Re: QVC needs to bring back Patti Reilly. She was a fantastic host.

I don't get attached to any of the Hosts. I assume when they leave, they move on. I did enjoy Patti, as a Host. She always seemed knowledgeable and very well prepared. Everyone has Host's that aren't their favorites, but the cult of "Haters", seems the only accurate word, that Patti had, was beyond weird! I'm not talking about viewers who didn't care for her, I'm talking about the obsessively ugly comments from a handful. I can remember seeing some where I actually wondered about the poster's mental well being!

Re: QVC needs to bring back Patti Reilly. She was a fantastic host.

Patti Reilly was much different when she first started at the Q. When she lost all her weight, that began her downfall. She developed an attitude and was rude to vendors constantly talking at the same time. I remember once when she was hosting with Bob Mackie and she wouldn't let him get a word in and he asked her if she was done so he could talk about his designs. I was shocked that he did that because he is such a gentleman and a class act. I did say good for him, it was about time someone told her to keep quiet. After that she had a run in with Dennis Basso and with a few of the plus size models. She thought she could put others down just because she lost all that weight. She was extremely rude and self absorbed with herself. Add all these things up and bet that's why she was gone. No host should be rude to vendors or models.

OP are you kidding? Patty was a silly giggling host, the same kind many others complain about that are currently hosting. I also feel she was rude to some of the callers and behind the scene staff. And although I think it was great that she lost all the weight, she became haughty and arrogant afterwards. No thanks. Keep trying to find infomercials to do Patty.

I'm missing so many people who have left the Q and Patti is one of them. Now with Lisa, Joan, Paula, Dave, Bob and Jeanne gone I'm not watching nearly as much. It really does make a difference when hosts and certain vendors leave. Some just can't be replaced!

Couldn't stand her. She seemed phony and self-absorbed.

The most polarizing host in recent memory!
