I never watch this host, but wanted to see the clip of the DB jacket (which I LOVE!).  Anyway, I couldn't believe it at the end of the clip when she says: "you have a cute butt, Dennis"!!!  Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!  Absolutely no filter.

Sadly, I don't see her behavior changing any time soon.
She has QVC in her pocket.

I just refuse to watch her, let alone buy anything she's selling..

The cute act wore off for me years ago.

That's how we roll in the shire..

I never watch this host either - gets worse and worse. There are a few hosts that are an instant "change channel" for me, but there doesn't seem to be anyone of authority trying to correct the behavior ( or clothing choices )  of some of the current hosts. Monday nights are a big disappointment now, as well as many other shows. These are my opinions, and I am not watching or buying as much as I have in past decades.

I think she is definitely doing well for QVC -otherwise "they" would have put a stop to her ways a long time ago.  My feeling is that people might tune in to see what she will say and do next for the shock value if nothing else -which ultimately produces sales. The more negative comments are written about a host, the powers that be realize that the show is being watched!

I saw this and thought it was awful.  The host is not a young girl and at her age I would think she would be more mature.  The producer has to take some responsibility here too for not controlling the behavior.  This particular host is really unwatchable now.

 

The point about the hostile workplace is right on.

Absolutely spot-on!  I no longer watch Monday evenings because her approach is tough for me to stomach.  I flat-out dislike her and don't miss not watching her antics.

I avoid QVC on Mon. evenings.  But it did not take me more than a second to figure out what this was all about.  Until sales drop nothing will be done.  I buy a lot from QVC, but never from this person.


 

The comment above is the key.  Sales effect everything.

Sadly, I think the language or repartee or whatever category we put it in is acceptable to millions and millions of people.  They don't find it objectionable, but see it as entertining and "telling it like it is."  What's on QVC sounds mild to my ears at this point.  Somehow I doubt shopping channel language will change before the rest of the world does - it will be the other way around.

 

Anyone else remember the uproar over Nixon's secret tapes in the 70's?  A colleague of mine used to say he didn't want to release them because they would contain "improper" language, not because they would actually incriminate him.  She wasn't really that far from wrong - and now?   That language pollutes the airways daily. Sad.

I agree with OP, but, to be fair, we don't know if and how this was dealt with off the air.  Perhaps with a talking-to, perhaps with a formal warning.  We don't know.


We can only hope they are disciplined, but I highly doubt it since the same behavior continues to happen!  Seems like our opinions don't matter.
