I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but I am so tired of the hosts and brand hosts talking so much about what they are wearing that they hardly talk about what the models are wearing. They go on and on complimenting one another on their outfits that sometimes time passes and they haven't even described the model who has been just standing there waiting! This hapens especially with Susan Graver and and Kim Gravel and with whomever they are presenting. It is super annoying. Today Katia was wearing a pair of pants. Pat and Susan were so busy conversing that Pat pulls out a pair of pants and asks Susan wouldn't they look great with this top that she did not even realize that Katia had just modeled the pants with the top! The hosts are too caught up with themselves as models, changing constantly and entering into silly, annoying bantering. I'm so done! Thank God for Gary Gobin. Such a professional, total description of items, unlike Isaac who goes on and on especially with whomever he co-hosts. Also, Kristin needs to remember she's a host, not a model. The models can do their jobs just fine!

@Mamia,

Thank you!

Models are models.  They are not spokespeople or paid on-air hosts.  I'd think they would rather not be tagged with talking.  I sure wouldn't want to be.  That isn't what they are paid for.  Would you like to be on the spot like that?

Nothing wrong with or shameful about being a model and you shouldn't be asked to be on air if you are.

they are doing all engaged presentations.   more interactive.....less infomercial

live presentations may not be for you

i'd suggest viewing the video on the item.  you can fast forward over parts that give you such grief

I can't really comment on the specifics of the OP's views since I rarely watch QVC.  But on ShopHQ I frequently see the host or vendor go over to the model and point out the details of the item.  Whenever I've watched QVC I can't remember ever seeing that.

I can understand what the OP wrote but not the first responses, except for the pretty flowers.

I watched HSN fashion a little last week and the models had microphones, allowing them to comment on their clothes. "I think this color looks good on me." "I would wear this top with jeans." I was totally bored.

However, HSN puts the models' height, measurements and size on the screen, which does help.

Didn't buy anything.

I'm not all that surprised at what the hosts and vendors do -  their main job is selling.  I haven't been watching much recently, but when I do watch, it seems to me both Graver and Gravel sell well.  It's hard to get people anywhere to change what works for what they are doing.

I think models should be like children - seen and not heard.  If they can provide a nice backdrop for the host's presentation, they've done their job.
