So tired of many of the hosts talking over the guests.  And interupting them or saying they are out of time for the guest and then run off for several minutes.  I would love to hear what the guest has to say.  I wait for that.  Colors are important of course but when the entire presentation is color and nothing about the product I am not interested.  I am wondering if the hosts are told to stop the guest from speaking as I do not remember it being this way in the past.  If the guest can only say 3 words why is it necessary to have them

I don't think I've seen a scenario where a guest (vendor) only says 3 words and the host only gives colors.  Then the host tell the vendor good bye. Unusual show.

I don't care for the vendor or guest being there to sell the product. It becomes more of a  mini series. Either have the host, or the vendor present the product.

 

I have to admit I don't watch like I did in the past. If there is nothing on I leave it on as back ground noise. I don't even know all of the newer hosts unless they happen to be on when I do keep it on in the background.

This is why I watch the Q on line if I am interested in a product.  I cannot watch people being rude and without manners whether or not the producer is pushing them. Going over colors is constant while important details are lacking.

 

This is an old complaint  and the tiresome repetitive format keeps on going.

Going over the colors is at least somewhat an important detail. What annoys me are the constant interruptions by hosts to give the numbers sold in the last 5 mins. and the usual  "1000 left in the red, 500 in the blue, etc. instead of letting vendor talk more about the product.

Don't think they are rude... just doing what they are told to do.  Limited time.

limited time?  plenty of time to talk about inane stuff, and when they show 4 items an hour there is plenty of time to tell me sizes, fabric content. 

it is the way they have done it for 30 years and they don't want to change it up.

From my observation, it appears to me producers are telling hosts to interrupt to go over colors, tell viewers it's the only order of the year, we can get it for this low price on easy pay, this many sold, this many left, then on to colors again. 

 

Not much incentive to watch when all I hear are sales pitches.

@Foxxee Not being mean but what do you expect on a shopping channel besides "sales pitches"!
