As a long time customer I enjoy many products you offer. I typically only buy specific things I need and use on daily basis.. However, lately when I turn into watch when I can, all I see or notice is not so much about the products you offer, but more about specific hosts.. Why is your company turning into a platform to promote your salespeople and not about the products you offer??. The salespeople you put on air should be to encourage me to buy merchandise from you,rather than what they do in their personal lives, etc.. Not that interested!,,..

I think some moron at QVC thinks that if we view the hosts as "friends", then we'll buy more from them. Of all the current hosts, what's annoyed me the most lately is how Amy was indulged and acted like she's the only woman to ever have a baby. It was truly obnoxious ..... no professionalism. {#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

With all the hassles Lisa has had with that crazy stalker, you'd think they'd think twice about exploiting their hosts so much! {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

And maybe Lisa will learn from her stalking experience not to post so many pictures of herself on her Face book page.

I think QVC is focusing on the host more and more since the merchandise they are now show on air is way too limited and repeated too often, so its a way to cover up QVC's lousy lineup {#emotions_dlg.glare}

And yes I change the channel or find something else to do.....a Shopping Channel should be about the PRODUCTS and NOT the hosts!

Exactly. They have to try to focus on something other than the same stale brands repeated in an endless rotation of boredom...

All together now: Dell, HP, Vitamix, Keurig, Kitchen Aid, Graver, Othaheels, Philosophy, Dyson, Sleep Number, Wen, rinse... repeat... repeat... repeat... repeat... and then repeat again...

birkigirl, I'm surprised your post has not been poofed. I seriously think the Q would like to be able to wave their magic wand and make ALL negative comments/remarks go away. This isn't a social medial channel, its a television "store", where some people prefer to shop for specific items/brands and where others tune in to browse. The endless chatter, giggling and otherwise non-item related banter has far exceeded the pertinent information that should be given to any potential buyer to make an informed purchase.

How about stating what the warranties are on things and how many ounces are you getting with your skin care.

I think they do it because attaching a name to a product sells. You only have to "listen" to the poster who love Louis, or feel sad that Judith sold her company, or who get as involved with Chaz' dogs as they do with his WEN to know making that human connection is part of the whole marketing scheme.

I'm absolutely certain that the first time I ordered Ripka, it was partially because of Judith's personality. Fortunately for me, the pieces I ordered (and this was long before I even knew these boards existed) went back the same day they arrived because the quality was non-existent. I tried once more maybe 5 years later, but the power of personality doesn't overcome the power of a product that doesn't work for me and in spite of liking Judith's manner, I don't own any of her jewelry. Maybe if I were younger and led a different life, I'd buy something couture, but that's just not happening.

Works the other way, too. I like what I order from Susan Graver, but just look at all the posts from people who admit they don't buy her line because of her personality. They are virtually admitting that it matters whose name is attached to products. And I can't think of any reason for QVC not to promote from within when they have personalities millions are already familiar with. imo.

Names are all over, not just at QVC. Without even moving from my computer chair, I see Kate and Vera and Tory. Who's in your house?
