Last night it was so great seeing the Vendors ba k in the studio and see a couple on today. Will they be coming back on full time? Has anyone heard? I love seeing the live interaction on air but know it cost more to come do the show than being on Skype/Zoom.

Vendors have been trickling in for a few months now.  Whether all will eventually come back for every appearance, who knows?  It may continue to be a combination of remote and in studio presentations.  They may show up in person when they have several shows (like a TSV) and do hits from home.

Thanks for that update. I watch periodically and noticed last night all the winners but Josie that were announced were on and seen some today. I will definitely be watching more to see if more are there in person 😊

I noticed that some of the food vendors who are in studio are representing more products than they had previously.

I know some don't care, but if they have to have vendors, I prefer them in the studio.  I find the whole skype and call-in presentations very annoying.

Not all of the winners were in studio.

 

The Beekman Boys were not there.

 

Laura Gellar was not there.

 

And Josie very wisely chose to stay home with her family, be it in LA or St. Barts, versus pointless, unnecessary travel to West Chester.  Nice choice Josie!

Will all the posters that want the vendors back in the studio show their appreciation with their pocketbook?  Will sales increase now that some of the vendors are back in the studio?

It's 2022. Technology works. Vendors in studio-who cares???

I agree… It's much more natural to see the vendors there, in person!
