Re: Thoughts on host/vendor pairings

 

I don't like Rick with anyone.  He's just too frantic.  I think he thinks he's cute, but he's not.  Settle down.  Also, I like Jane Brown as a host, but not with Valerie.  It seems she tries to one up Valerie with her knowledge and her suggestions.  Also, I watched last night with Sandra Bennet with Valerie.  Valerie has to have nerves of steel.  That woman constantly interrupted Val and she came across as dismissive.  I think by the time the show was over Val was glad to be done for the day.  Maybe Valerie likes working with Rick because he doesn't try to upstage her like a lot of others do.

Re: Thoughts on host/vendor pairings

I just don't understand why so many people are obsessed with the hosts/vendors ...they can't even go on vacation without people wondering where they are.  Just mind boggling to me.

Re: Thoughts on host/vendor pairings

IMHO,by far the best pairing with Valerie is Rick.  I wish they paired them on air more often.  They just really click and seem to have to much fun together.

I like Jayne, but feel she tries to "outdo" (for lack of a better time) Valierie sometimes.  Maybe because of her inate artisstic talents.  But all and all, they work well together.

I don't watch Amy much, but I thought she did OK with Valierie...better than some of the other hosts.

Re: Thoughts on host/vendor pairings

I don't watch many of Valerie's shows, but a long time ago I didn't care for Rick. Along the way, I got used to him and now, I enjoy him anytime I see him. 

The newest pairing, Isaac with Terri, I am really liking. They're very good together. Terri actually "listens" to Isaac and communicates with him, whereas in the past I thought he was ignored. Terri is a very competent host and does and will do well with anyone. She is serious about her job, does her homework and is very pleasing. I'm amazed she will soon be 50 and looks like still in her 20's. Very pretty.

I think the Q might break up fashion pairings and let those go with other products besides fashion. And vice versa, let others try fashion. For instance, Shawn. She should do other products as she's worn thin in fashion and beauty. 

It's to both the host and vendor to get along very well or the best they can with each other, although they surely have their favorites.

I enjoyed the pairing of Amy Stran with Valerie Parr Hill.

It was respectful on both sides.

I really enjoy VPH and Rick together. When Rick was showing his shoes at the end of the show, Valerie told him to turn around and show the back tab. Rick said his shoe modeling classes on the weekends were paying off. I laughed so hard.

I agree with you @Packersfan1265  Amy and Valerie did not work. Amy never stops talking. She has her mouth open and ready to go every second. You can see she isn’t listening to what the other person is saying. Valerie sells the product.

@msgb  Yes, that was the first time I have ever seen Amy with Valerie.

Re: Thoughts on host/vendor pairings


I actually get more ideas when someone like Amy is paired with Valerie, because they ask questions (some I have in my own mind) rather than just ooohing and ahhhing with the ideas that Valerie shares, if that makes any sense. 😁

Besides it’s refreshing to see a different host paired with Valerie.

Rick, Jayne Brown and Pat are my favorites though. 🤗🤗🤗
