If you ask me........it would be like kissing the UPS guy (or gal).............

I ALWAYS thought that the models should be greeted and/or introduced ("please welcome") by name before the "show" started-- Either before or after they introduce the vendor.

Actually, she is more like a mannequin as she is just there to demonstrate the product.

Knock off the kissing and be a good example. Flu is rampant around here, a lot of people are skipping the vaccine.

I don't watch beauty shows.
The kissing is all for the camera and audience. The host has probably seen the vendor ten times backstage before they came out for their presentation.
Really phony and annoying.

Hired help or not, they are humans doing a job on television and they should be acknowledged. The kissing and hugging has always looked forced and phoney to me and unprofessional. That doesn't mean the vendors shouldn't be warmly welcomed but but colds/flu going around, jeeze .... I would be hard pressed to do this and I'm not a germ nut.

THe stuff people can find to pick at and criticize is a constant amazement to me.

The models are just a clothes hanger... nothing more. Paid to sit there emotionless and quiet.....
BUT I do think all the hugging and kissing is UNNECCESSARY! I think just a hello greeting is enough.

I don't care for the kissing, I doubt they're doing it off air before they go on stage.
They are hired help. They are there to model.
I know, but they do act as if they are beneath them. I meant hired help as in maids and social status. I actually have been a maid before when some treated me as if I weren't there, which was okay I was there to work and didn't speak, but a few others actually were nice and included me in conversations & ask me to join. @makena On TV it just looks bad to treat them as mannequins sitting there rather than a person ignored.

No one likes to be ignored, for sure. I don't think it's intentional. I think the hosts are so involved in their presentation they don't stop to think about things like that. The models are always present in one way or another, and they generally are not included in the presentation other than to sit/stand their and model.
