I have  been on the q for 30  year and one day about 8 years ago started watching hsn  I want to give the stations  some love because we have the best hosts going   They are all so professional and just down to earth people  There is one on hsn I cant stand but she is professional and does know her products  Why anyone would believe a word out of he mouth is beyond anything I can figure out but this feeling is personal  It must be  so hard to pick the right people     What product hosts do you think would make great  hosts ?  My  choices are Carrie from Cuddle Duds  Amy from Clarks and Lauren from Sketchers

I agree with you about Amy and Lauren, they are wonderful host and come very well prepared for their shows. I will have to think about this and come up with a name or two. I think I know who you are referring to on HSN. Drives me crazy.

Enjoy the Rep of Dooney and Bourke (Sue) I could listen to her go on and on..on..smooth, soft voice. On the other hand..same can't be said about

several of the newer hosts. You wouldn't think voice makes a difference

But.....It sure does! Remember many actors couldn't cross over talkies. 

Lost careers because of extreme sounding voices.  Really is a problem.

Re: hosts on the Q and HSN

There are two different categories:

1) QVC or HSN hosts

 2) Product  presenters or reps

Caling them all hosts is confusing.

David Dangle and Linda Davies come to mind.

Because my very first experience with HSN's predecessor was bad, when I finally started to use TV shopping more, I tried QVC and I've pretty much stayed here.  Have done not much better at HSN even on other tries and I buy so seldom right now, I see no reason to try to get used to the other channel.

 

There once learned a theory in psychology that we know what we like BUT we also like what we know.  I'm probably that way with the shopping channels. I still know many of the Q hosts and products, but I don't spend more than maybe 5 minutes a month on Q2, HSN, and all the other shopping stations combined!  I can't imagine ever knowing them well enough to want to watch more.

Without a doubt, it would be Bethany Lori, IMO. She's currently the Vince Camuto brand representative, and formerly was the rep. for Oryany handbags.

 

She has a pleasant speaking voice, nice personality, and is knowledgeable about the product-- a true professional all around.

@mollymaggie  Does her first name begin with an Sh and end with an N.....Just asking because of all of the HSN hosts she would be the one I would further investigate in regards to her claims Smiley LOL SN: the embellishing goes to a new level when she presents with his names begins with an A...especially during electronics presentations.

I know there are many suggestions as to who would make a good host, but personally I don't think the reps or models would be interested in being a host.  JMO

I did mean Sharon Smith  Her stories are so fake  She is buying everything and makes up stories as she goes along  She must sell tons because how could she stay  none can stand her  I doubt she is married  Wolf Gang kids her about not being able to keep a man  She laughs it off  I picture her house looking like a hoarders   Who else takes all of the food home
