@Flower69    It seems whether or not several hosts are obnoxious, too much talking about personal lives and interrupting vendors, they mut sell enough to stay on the payroll. Beats me!!

What kind of host does that and how does she get away with it? She's always saying oh, I ordered two of this,ordered one in every color. Does she do this so her "followers":will run to the phone to get what she buys.

Yes I believe the producers can see an uptick in orders when she does her phone ordering shtick. 

 

She'd need a warehouse to put all her supposed ordered items.

I find it very rude too.  Personally, I am getting really tired of Shawn and her presentations.   I buy more often when I watch.  If I am not watching, my purchases go down, which is a good thing really.  So Shawn and definately Jane Treacy are channel changers for me.

Never a fan of hers she has always to me seemed bored to pieces having to be at work and do her job.  It just seems so beneath her.  But I have only seen tiny glimpses of her lately so maybe I am off base. 

 

But it used to seem to me to be really a bother for her to drop by.

I cannot watch her do gourmet food shows.  It is gross when she rolls the pastries into balls to show how moist they are.

I hate it when any vendor smashes the cookies and cakes down.  I get breaking the cookies in half, but don't get smushing them way down. The My Grandma's vendor always smashes down the cakes too--ugh!

Well, I think someone must be watching her AND buying.

 

She has had Prime Time slots for years now.

 

Same with the other 'most picked upon host'.....

 

It's all about sales, and I figure they must have them or they would not be on so much in those hours, for so long.

There are a lot (well 95%) of the hosts that annoy me.  Shawn is not one of them.  She is one of the few who doesn't bore me to tears.
