If they had no host and just the vendor speaking they will be cutting the program in less than half the time they have now. That would probably limit QVC's hours to about 8 per day. You don't think the vendors will be giving how many sold, etc etc.

Asking why people buy should be the question. Regarding food, research shows they are more likely to buy when someone is sampling the food and demonstrating it is tasty.

QVC wouldn't do it if it didn't work.

My opinion, on the other hand I'm happy to see all the things that you don't like, it brings life to a show that certainly would be dull if none of that was evident.

@LilMadi You don't want them to get free samples at home? Why?

I have never noticed any host "marking" the food so they can take it home, sorry that is just silly and petty, they make a good salary and have no reason to do that.

They talk about the free food samples that were sent to their homes, they put food on the side to take home and touch the food to claim it-all while on camera. I find these things very distracting and unnecessary.

I know some people don't like the vendors at the presentations but I really want to hear what they have to say about the products. I would much rather that than listen to the hosts waste time with nonsense.

I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears, there must be others who share this same feeling. I think the presentations would be so much more enjoyable.

Thanks in advance for having the courtesy, respect, and consideration for not attacking me for voicing my opinion =O)

What helps me the most in life is to not let things I can't control, especially little things, take up space in my brain.

In order to make the viewer think/feel/buy.....they really have no other options.

I have ordered a lot food.

The stories and expressions don't bother me in the least.

What makes me NOT watch or purchase is a duo of two particular hosts that yell, act childish and talk over each other jockeying for more air time. The giggling and silliness only changes the channel for me.

HOWEVER, QVC will continue to orchestrate the shows based on sales....if the shows are selling, I wouldn't expect them to change the format just because you and I dislike certain aspects.

If you really want to be heard, send a written letter to Corporate. Don't expect a revamping of the shows based on a thread. i doubt that will happen.

@RespectLife I have written to corporate, as I suspect many people have, but it does no good..............

@LilMadi I agree with you and you expressed your opinion........good for you! No need to attack anyone for their opinion!

I agree with lilmadi, let's face it, even if the item tasted was terrible or not special, the hosts would still roll their eyes and be so pleased.. With any item it would be so good if it were a presentation. Those who say turn the channel are right to some extent yet there are times I am interested yet dont' like being talked into.
