I work during the day, and when I return home in the evening on Monday nights, I would turn on PMS. I never warmed to Shawn. When Lisa R. was the host, she could sell me anything. I am sorry for all of the people that hated LR, but she was a darn good sales woman. Shawn was ok in the beginning in my view, but she definitely started to change, and as of late I can't tolerate her for longer than 5-10 minutes without changing the channel. She is just plain rude. I have seen her be rude to the models, vendors, and background studio people. I am just shocked that management has never spoken with her about how she speaks to people. It makes me wonder how she is when the cameras are not rolling.
I forgot to add that she seems to be unprepared frequently.
I will give Amy a chance. I do think that she has a better fashion sense/style.
@icezeus I don't think people hated LR. I am not sure where you got that. Each host has things about them that we don't like, I would imagine. LR was a very good host. I think people are sick of the crazy posts that continue to this day and how she is trying to sell things. I think in no way think she was hated by very many. I know many complained about her staring at herself.
Let's face it Q has changed from back then. I do not watch the fashion shows, so I can't comment on who is not prepared or not. I think their prices are crazy, and they can put LG with any host, and I won't watch, because she drives me nuts.
I saw SK be rude recently as you stated. It shocked me as well. I don't think I have ever heard that out of a host before. I find the hard sell not good. That is one thing I liked about Lisa Mason. She would say "If you can afford it" I will buy more from a host like that, then one that is pushing too hard to sell. That is just me. Q has had many good hosts over the years. I think to be good at sales on a shopping channel, people have to like you somewhat.
I think we are going to see Q and HSN change a lot next year. I guess we have to stay tuned to see if they are good changes. I watch Carolyn a lot in mornings, but I am usually doing something else. I wish and hope they get away from all the shoe shows. Too many!
