Quit showing hosts and guest host and more close up of product - just watched thong shoe but whole presentation was split hosts talking to each other about thing and only went through colors at last second and never a close up - ridiculous

With the exception of a very few, most hosts are channel changers. And it seems to be getting worse by the day. Hosts I enjoyed watching a few years ago are now totally unwatchable. I get more information on the website and do most shopping there.

Q's CEO keeps talking about entertaining viewers. Well, I don't need or want to be entertained when I'm shopping. I have no desire to hear personal stories, watch goofy behavior, etc. They are salespeople and need to provide all the info about the products.

Do I ever agree with this one.  Perhaps if more items are presented per hour the hosts would not have time to "chat" about absolutely nothing that most people are NOT interested in.  They seem "full of themselves." Never used to be  that way.  

 

Just imagine going into a box store or auto dealer or just about anywhere and having listen to the sales person or representative share personal life, like and dislikes, etc, on and on and on.

 

I want information about the product period.  And cute little comments about the price that will go off in a half a minute does not interest me.  Comments about how the host bought or owned more then one of these does not interest me. Who cares!

@CalminHeart  I don't know where this CEO keeps talking about this, but those that know need to tell the CEO that entertaining is not what viewers want and just drives them away. This CEO seems out of touch and pays no attention to these boards.

The CEO has commented on this in quarterly earnings reports for a long time.

@bonnielu  - I wish they would show more products.  I agree that if more products were shown, the unnecessary stories would decrease.  Why can't they show more products I wonder?

I prefer the Q2 presentations by the vendors themselves.  

 

The regular Q show hosts are all "reading from the same script."

There are maybe 3 hosts I can tolerate these days.  The posing and prancing just irritates.  They give so little info on the actual product ( sometimes wrong info).  I watched the first showing of the D&C Bermuda shorts...the host gave model sizing as lettered and they were actually numbered. This went on and on.  It's a small thing but jeeez is it that hard? Guess the TSV wasn't "special" enough to at least know that.
