It looks like QVC is not minding the store and it has looked like that for quite a while.  A few are out of control.


They do.  There are directors and producers of each segment/presentation speaking to the hosts in their earpieces.

No, producers produce a given show.  They do not train hosts.

 

They are not in charge of the hosts.

 

The hosts need someone that is watching, listening and coaching them after every live show.

As a long time customer who is ready to jump ship.....please, tell Kerstin that she is really not all that. It is so obvious that she is in love with herself. Tried to watch last Saturday and I could not listen or watch any longer. What a shame - what is happening?

The hosts who have been there the longest are the best.

I do not care for K. A. either -

I have totally turned off any of the Newer hosts because they are copying Amy's hyper behavior, and her **singting presentations**. The  newer hosts like Courtney K, is so hyper she ran right over a real gentleman like Louis D, who is an iconic designer, i was livid. That particular night she butted in, wouldn't let him talk. More  presenters should shut them down, like Isaac did with Amy, who IMO is horrific, and so difficult to watch, i don't watch her shows anymore. The singing presentations i heard copied by some newer hosts, and i was thinking that the ones they should be copying is NOT AMY, or SHAWN, someone like Jill Bauer, who always tells you the truth, Carolyn Gracie, Nancy Hornbeck. The incestant giggling turns me right off, incluyding Antonella. Her presentations are excellant, cept for the giggling. The hosts doing that is turning all the cutomers off who still watch the shows. I'm disgusted because i always loved the Q, but these things are REPULSIVE to me, so i miss it.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM, i miss the Q.

I do not watch anymore.  I check in as I pass by to other channels in the evening mostly. My BUYS are way down.  I want product info not self absorbed hosts.

I enjoy watching the Q with a cup of coffee in the morning, or lazing in my bed at night watching the Q when my normal TV programs have left for the summer...however, it is no longer enjoyable to watch with some of the vendors and hosts being out of control...talking over one another, using the same old, same old buzz words.  Consquently, I don't buy a lot, and more and more changing the channel.  
I so enjoyed watching Bob Mackie with Mary Beth Rowe, both low key, talking softly explaining fabrics, sizing things the consumer want to hear.  I like when a host knows when not to over talk the vendor, that is most annoying.
I don't know what management is thinking by letting these new hosts carry on like they're having a party and cackle like a bunch of hens, talking so fast you don't know what they're saying...annoying as H!
Many times I go on the Q's web site and look at the items rather than having to listen to some hyped up host telling me where I can wear my jeans, shoes, pants...

Could the host of the current American West jewelry  show please  stop playing with  her hair and putting her hand to her mouth and face, she does it constantly and it is very distracting! (Also,shei is always saying yeah which sounds terrible). She has been a host for a while, so she should be more comfortable on air.  I know she is popular and well liked, and I do like her presentations. She is very thorough and gives all the facts, but why please just try to be more professional.

Maurlag, are you talking about Antonella or Carolyn Pollack? I'm guessing Antonella.
