Oh please, the passing of Joan Rivers has nothing to do with it. Jill is Jill. This is her MO. It can be called 'curt', 'direct', 'snippy', 'no-nonsense, and so on, right up to descriptors that, regardless of how appropriate they might be..., could well approach the oft-mentioned 'bashing'. She's almost always this way. I don't care for her, never have. The choice for me was whether to endure her to see what was being presented at a time of my choosing or not. Ultimately, I chose to watch most of the show, since I didn't see the earlier shows and might not choose to watch the last one of the day, which hopefully will include a host more to my liking... Personally, while I can't understand why others enjoy her, I figure there are hosts I enjoy that others would question. Her sing-song cadence, her monotone voice, her tendency to take over, for me, outweigh the unarguable fact that she tends to provide a very thorough presentation.

I've watched the whole show and thought they were having fun together, even when the colors seemed out of order in the one presentation. I thought they both just laughed that off. I guess I must have dozed off during the "snippy" portion of the show. I'll take Jill over many of the other hosts.

I don't usually watch those handbag shows but I had it on and I also thought they were having fun with it. Jill seems to have a more dry not laughy laugh sense of humor and it might seem to be snippy to some especially for those who are watching to look for something negative.

I about fell out of my chair. She just has a very domineering, curt personality. Snippy.

re Jill's comments on color names and faces: have you considered that the show producer may be yapping in her ear "No! Have them use the correct color name. It's MARINE, not Navy." "Tell that model to stop making that fish face! Do it now!"

I really don't think a professional producer might be talking like that. He certainly would be polite and courteous and would be using words like please and thank you.

IMO: Icy. Monotone, electronic voice. When she's on, I turn to something constructive to do.

Did anyone notice Jill's Prada bag in the photo at JR Memorial Service. It was very nice.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Good Grief!! Another host bashing thread?


Why not? An opinion is an opinion whether it is ""bashing"" or loving.

Bashing other people is not nice.

I remember there was a thread about this

Yeah I saw that. Jill never got the memo "praise in public, scold in private".

I like Jill Bauer as a host. I think she is professional and gets the job done. I watched the Dooney show and did not feel she was snippy. She certainly sold a lot of bags. This is her job. I am sure the vendor was thrilled.
