For example...when showing an item make sure to describe everything (like all food items you are getting ) or for example Shawn was presenting a hair dryier and when the guest was trying to explain how to use it she was blow drying her hair so that you couldnt hear what the guest was saying. I have found that there is so much emphasis on being fun or cute or excited that the job that they are supposed to be doing (presenting) is lacking. I need to know as much about what I am buying before deciding to purchase...otherwise why watch at all?

Almost all the Hosts presentations are now lacking essential details . There was a christamas item that I saw on air and it even took Valerie P awhile before she mentioned the color choices other than the one color she had pointed to on display .
You have to have your computer on any time you might be interested in purchasing something , just so you can get the exact details and dimensions .

I agree and I refuse to do that @skatting44 If I'm willing to invest my time in watching a presentation I expect the host/salesperson to do their job and tell be all the pertinent information about the product. If I go into a B&M store I expect the sales person to know their merchandise. If not, I'm gone. Same with QVC.

In my opinion, why do they need Hosts ? Seems to me they would be better served by just letting the product Reps have air time as long as they give all the details such as specific dimensions .
Also here we go another unannounced Free shipping day . I have been hoping for free shipping but this on & off unannounced is s bummer in that I just ordered a couple of Christmas decorating items yesterday , so again I missed out on free shipping .

It's live TV. I wonder if Shawn knew the vendor couldn't be heard. Maybe, her producer told her to demonstrate the dryer. The producer should have told her to turn it off.
I think hosts are often personally blamed for things they are told to do.
Usually, they do tell us exactly what food items we are getting.
Do agree there are some things hosts usually don't discuss. One is thickness of the fabric.
Overall, though, I don't think hosts concentrate on cuteness or having fun. The specific program addressed here is an exception and I think it was designed by someone at QVC to be cute and fun. Of all the hosts, Shawn may have been chosen because she would be best for this type of programming. I think she did a good job.

@Foxxee you make valid points but most hosts are past the age of cute and act accordingly.

Alberti is know for doing this too. I was watching when a vendor interrupted him asking if she could please explain something that was being presented.
