Dooney and Burke on QVC Plus

Qvc please never again allow Leah Williams host a 2 hour Dooney show. She was so disoriented and so jumbled with her words and colors and descriptions that alot of sales were lost because of it I assure you

there are so many host's that know the brand inside and out and very passionately describe the full bag.

She has also scrambled many other shows recently as well and it;s very frustrating to the consumers who rely on these descriptions when buying a product they havent touched

maybe the wrong host is leaving{#emotions_dlg.sneaky}

Re: Dooney and Burke on QVC Plus

I have to agree. I happened to catch the show the OP is referring to, and I found myself uncharacteristically annoyed at the host's performance. Her disorientation was continual throughout the entire two hours.

But I also found myself thinking that if I were filmed on what turned into a bad day at work, I'd have to hope for some grace combined with some personal resolve to not repeat mistakes.

Let's give grace and assume that a "bad night at the office" will spark Leah's awareness that maybe some better preparation could help ensure a good show, even if there were other things going on in her life at the moment.

If the show was so awful, why did you continue watching it?

Re: Dooney and Burke on QVC Plus

I would imagine folks watching in spite of the host are watching because they want to see what's being presented... Isn't that more or less the mission here?

I've found Leah a bit more annoying than usual lately too, and yes, she often seems ill-prepared.

lennox sad to say but speaking from my own days lately it very well could be the age of the changes it could be her own personal summer like so many of us yet it is getting to be too much for the line of work where you must speak on your toes iv'e had enough so i thought I would start the post and see if anyone else is noticing this

Maybe she was called in last minute and wasn't prepared. Someone else possibly was going to host this program and had to be replaced. Leah is always so professional. I love her!!

Leah has always had a problem expressing herself clearly. I always assumed she stuttered and changed the direction of her speech when she knew she was going to say a problem word. That's just a guess; it could be something else but has always been a problem. It's like she can't stay focused, which is a big problem when communication is your profession.
