Re: Hosts ""Buying"" Merchandise While Presenting

Hi, ladies. I hope that you don't really believe that the host is actually ordering these items. It's a sales ploy!! I can actually tell when Lisa is really interested in an item or if she's just faking it. By now, I know what type of things she would buy - for example, she isn't going to rush to the phone or computer to scoop up a Susan Graver top. I am pretty sure she isn't going to fall over herself to order Denim & Co. side pocket stretch pants. So, if I hear her plead to the producer "please, order these pants for me in an XS in black," I know she is not REALLY getting them. I've seen her go nuts over a piece of jewelry, for instance, that I know she WOULD love to get. In those cases, I do believe her. Some of the other hosts, it's more iffy for me to guess. But all in all, the hosts are simply trying to make viewers excited about a product and therefore, order it. Anyway, that's my take on it!!

If that's the case, then I wonder why she just didn't buy it before presenting it on the air?

Of course, I know a lot of people here on these forums fall for that tactic. I am too sharp for that nonsense.
