Agree with the constant hand motion and pointing. I just referred to DV
doing that in another post. Im not saying it's offensive. Im just saying it's
too much pointing for no reason. Then his full five finger manuevers.
Distracting. And other host also. But he is the worst.
Really, we know are basic colors. We can figure it out. All that circus
business is a channel changer. And yes, I do turn it off.

Add the hand signals which I find offensive. (I speak Sign Language and I'm getting more and more upset with this.) And there is no purpose to pointing at an object when the camera operator knows enough to cover the item. Are they directing? Are they ordering the camera operator around? These constant, meaningless, hand pointing and fluttering movements are annoying. And, yes, I immediately change the channel and give up interest in the item to be sold.
What do you want a host to do?
I've never seen a salesperson in any location try to sell something without using their hands. It's human nature.

Random wild gestures are different.
@NYwoman I know exactly what and to whom you are referring...I happen to call her hand and arm gestures "hand jiving" since it is like an obnoxious dance. My first response when seeing her hand/arm gestures was "didn't you mother teach you to keep your hands to yourself or put them in your pocket?" I have an idea this behavior eminated from her prior job as a weather person on tv who had to use her hands to explain. Also explains the incessant domination of a conversation, she sometimes acts like she is the vendor. I cannot stand to watch her; in a rare instance she hosts with Susan Graver, she won't let SG get in a word. RB is obnoxious on food shows.

Seriously, how long ate you all going to carry on about multiple hosts??
Obviously not going to change. Geesh!

To me it's really frustrating when you're really interested and going to possibly purchase something, when the other two are more interested in themselves and don't allow the expert to inform on the product. Obviously, the Q doesn't care and are just interested in entertainment, laughing, giggling, goofing off and carrying on about nothing.

And then they throw more into the soup: Shawn reveals they need to chat more with the models and they're now mic'd. Now, they all gather around talking amongst themselves, forget about you!

Not interested in doing their job. That's information needed as much as color.
