Q Talk

[SunValley]

When the hosts say the vendors are “at home” it’s simply a way to differentiate from being at the QVC studio. It’s an indication they are in a remote location at a home setting rather than at the production studio. I can say I’m “home” and simply mean I’m in area where I reside, such as a home town. I don’t associate this with lying or making a deliberate attempt to trick the viewer for some nefarious purpose. And accepting this as a method of indicating a remote Skype session does not make me a “sucker.” I find that comment to be overreaching and unnecessary.

I agree.

And some people have more than one home.  Or they could be in a basement/lower level kitchen rather than their regular kitchen.  Or at their parents' house, a childhood home that they consider "at home".   Or on vacation in a rented house or condo, and unwilling to announce to the world that their actual home is vacant.   

So they very well could actually be at home.  Or not.  And it has nothing to do with "lying".  

I don't think where they are matters in the slightest, and even if they are "lying", who cares?  What difference could it possibly make?  I'm sure there's no ill intent - just an effort to streamline the proceedings.

rude individual.  If she has a thought she wants to share, she should be allowed to share it without a ridiculous and offensive post like the one you just made.

And you're just as bad.

I don't think whatever they say when they announce the vendors is intentionally lying or even meant to be just misleading.    I highly doubt the hosts say anything other than what info is passed along to them by producers.   And with so many vendors I don't think the producers would even know.    The technical ppl set it up and as long as they call in on time, all is well!   

What  does blow my mind is how some vendors can switch from a wide shot to a closeup shot.    I guess they have software that can do this, but  that's pretty fancy to me when they aren't in a studio setting.  Impressive!

 I never thought they were. I thought it was a scam!

@Memebell   Some of them have someone holding a phone or device on a stick and can come in or out etc. All of them don't use the same tech stuff. There are more than one way for the vendors to do this.

I think and feel that making the Deliberate Statement "from their home" is the QVC's way of saying: heck they are stuck at home just like YOU: Identifiable always sells.
