New Hosts

Mizzousue · ‎12-07-2022

I hate to be mean, truly, and most of the new hosts are pretty good. Julia has grown on me, and Allie Carr is by far my new favorite. She has a true "star in the making" quality for the Q. But .... ugh ... Nancy - especially this morning - almost made me want to throw something at the t.v. What is it that drives me mad? I hope Q can fix the problem, whatever it is! Her voice tempo (almost screaming at times when she's excited) and her repetition of the vendor's name...Ashley, Ashley, Ashley.

Well most of the hosts get better as they go along. Some get worse.

I don't care for Steve Doss for some reason. I don't watch much now anyway, but when he is on, or paired with someone as he seems to be, I change the channel.

I really like Dan Wheeler. He does not get much air time, but he always says something that makes me laugh.

@Puppy Lips I believe you mean Dan Hughes?

I have to agree...I'm not feeling the new hosts...except Vanessa. Steve....nope. He's wayyyy too enthusiastic about the most banal items. It doesn't seem sincere. I miss Dan Wheeler.

@Krimpette Oh my gosh, yes, Dan Hughes. Was going to double check myself and then didn't. Thank you for the correction!

I agree with everything you said PLUS she has this permanent smile on her face no matter what she is doing ... the smile never leaves her face!! ... she looks at the camera & talks to the vendor & talks with the smile on her face ..
she drives me crazy with that smiley face ... also she is not a good host

I was going to write last weekend after watching a show on Q 2 with the new host Nancy,was first time seeing her.I didn't want to be mean but after seeing what you wrote will back you 100 % . She was doing a kitchen show showing the Ninja oven OMG ,was she so loud,almost screeching, very hyper, kept repeating herself, and kept showing over and over how the oven folds back. Saw that the vendor Ashley stood in her kitchen holding some hot food and couldn't get a word in. Did hear Nancy say her mentor was Jennifer Coffey think that tells me something cause have muted her many times or did channel surfing as she is very hyper and takes over the show and vendors don't get heard.

Exactly. I think they either "have it" or not. There are several hosts - like Jennnifer - who have really gotten worse over time. I noticed the other night that she was almost "scolding" the customers that if they didn't order it something was wrong with them. It was weird. If Jennifer was her mentor, they need to give her a new one! Ah well, most of the ones I don't like I can still tolerate, but not Nancy. Mute for me know. And as I'm working mostly from home these days, I love Q in the background. The news is too depressing! Almost everything I own comes from the Q.
