Re: another host i like to watch

I actually watch sometimes and I don't even like Kim's clothing. They are very cute together!

I like Rick - yes I said Rick.

I also like Ali, Rachel, Alberti - it would be easier to say who I do not like

Now on HSN - I like Debbie D

I do like Mary D.....normally she does a very good job no matter what she's presenting.....once in a while she gets in a silly mood....but overall she's a good host!

Glad you posted another fav of yours. I have also been watching some different hosts during a 100* heat wave and have really enjoyed Alberti, Rachel, Jennifer, Mary D., Courtney as usual. But the ones who have surprised me with their dramatic changes are David and Kerstin!

David's loss of weight and happier attitude is apparent in everything he does. He's enjoyable to watch again and his programs are interesting with Mary D., Rachel, Kerstin or whomever. His joy is infectious!

And Kerstin doesn't seem so self-absorbed with herself. I watched an hour of her live conversation with customers asking questions last Saturday (following her two programs). She took the questions and answered them quickly and honestly (bing, bing, bing) without hesitation! There was no giggling around, hemming, or trying to find a way out of an uncomfortable question. She answered everything frankly and without excuses; then moved on to the next question.

Kerstin spoke with integrity and in a professional manner for the entire for the entire hour - and thanked each individual for their question. She was well mannored and charming, kind and gracious. She spoke slowly and modulated her words well. She used the English language well, too.

She's obviously one of the more intelligent and ambitious hosts QVC. Watch Kerstin. She will continue to to rise with QVC. She's moved quickly as a host, but her star is just beginning to shine!

My other choices of hosts to watch are the six mentioned above: Alberti, Jennifer, David, Courtney, Mary D., and Rachel. My female intuition says all of them are going to soar at QVC! It could be a very interesting time with many changes. I think these are all very nice, kind, well prepared, easy to watch hosts.

@BirkiLady

Comments are welcome.

You asked for it, you got it.....

.....When several of the hosts were let go Kerstin seemed to change for the better---she calmed down and slowed down when she spoke and she focused on the job and the products without the posing, primping, and silliness....but that didnt last long and she was back to her old ways...so we'll see if the changes stick JMHO.....

I wonder if she got some needed coaching

......there was a survey sent out asking about shows, programming, hosts, and "entertainment style shows", and whether the viewer got enough product information....Things that make you go hmmmmmm

I dont care for Ali, she seems a bit scripted and insincere...and there's also something about her speech pattern, a bit "valley girl".......

My favorites are Leah, Carolyn, Dan Hughes, Jayne Brown, Pat, Mary Beth.....and I think Vanessa is really showing promise.....

I like Mary D, and I like David also, but one bit of feedback on him, he just goes over the colors way too much.....(maybe its the Producer in his ear thinking it creates a sense of urgency for customers to pick a color and hurry up and buy it...who knows)....

CK has really gotten a bit too self focused and silly when paired with another host at the expense of product information....she's always messing with her hair (wig and/or extensions) .....she needs to go back to her own natural hair which looked very nice.....

And Amy her emphasis is being "a model"...sadly I find her immature and silly, the promo where's she's dancing with Alberti says it all....first the chicken dance now this---I guess she likes to dance, I like info on whether a garmet fits true to size or whether we should stay the same, size up or down, and if she represents petites then dont wear stilletos, Oh Lisa Robertson and Gabrielle some of us miss you on Monday Fashion Night IN, at least I do.....JMHO.... And yes folks, I now DO TURN THE CHANNEL when there's a host I dont care to watch...and my purchases are less too...

@Spurt

Thanks for your reply and great comments. I share your favorites, with the exception of Leah, whom I can take in small doses only due to the "ums", "yeahs" and constant giggle. Agree with your comments on Vanessa.

Since I haven't purchased much in the past 10 years from QVC, they certainly did not send me a survey! Doubt they would want to hear my response to their questions about their programming or items offered. And the S&H would be secondary to those complaints. I only view something that might be interesting after it has aired; nothing holds any real appeal to me.

Something seems to be going on behind the scenes finally. The change in Kristin was the first I noticed (long overdue, but worth mentioning). Then noticed it with other hosts (whom I mentioned in my post but not to the extent). KL did not pose or adore herself in the monitor (like she used to) this AM; she was prepared and kept the designer/actor (who wanted to talk about her husband, vacation and boobs) on script about the products!

Have a feeling a few of the long-term hosts have become too comfortable in their positions and the younger, more ambitious hosts are about to secure those coveted places at QVC. You have mentioned some of them, but not all.

I'm anxious to see more of the newest hosts! So far, they excel in their comfort and professionalism. It would be wonderful if they all reach their potential quickly and enjoy working at QVC. Time will tell if it's really a gig they desire and vice-versa.

Money screams; wealth whispers.

I like Rick, too. But can't watch him for more than 5 minutes. He's like the energizer bunny, I get exhausted just watching him! LOL
