The vast majority of the hosts have something they say repetitively, it's like a crutch when you have to say the same things over & over, for years. Having to present every item as if it's the first time showing it or describing would make me batty -- except for the paycheck.
It doesn't bother me at all. It's so common among all or most of the hosts. I think most of the hosts do a great job considering the monotony of it all.
Mary Beth -- etcetera
Pat -- that's the beauty of it
Jayne B.- - literally
Amy -- One..........Time..........Only
Mary D. -- buckle up
David -- this is extraordinary
Jennifer -- laughing very LOUDLY at something not even funny
Dan -- I've known this vendor since he was [5 years old]
Jane T. -- my daughter...
Leah -- giggling
Rachel -- any cartoon sound effect

Pat used to always say "without a doubt" too - she must have stopped that.
And that etc etc etc by Mary Beth is awful - it's like she just can't be bothered.

The singing or sing song descriptions/comments by the Hosts is annoying.
Even the new Hosts like Nancy Yoon are doing it .
Also all the talking while their mouths are full, even Jayne Brown does this .
If they have to eat on air can't the 2 Hosts just takes turns talking without food in their mouths ?
I do change the channel or go on the internet if I might be interested in something, however muting or changing the channel , one might miss out on the vendor giving useful information abt an item .
I agree about the food shows for sure...Jayne is my favorite host......but the food shows they start eating and keep eating during the whole presentation these days....like they are starving....i can see taking a "taste" of the product and commenting....but to literally keep eating the whole presentation and/or cutting practically every piece of food to show whats inside....a bit much.

I agree that many of the hosts overuse the same phrases:
Mary Beth - "here's the thing"
Pat - "without a doubt"
Mary D - "bye bye for now"
Rachel - "PS and by the way"
Amy - uses "thur" instead of their
Kristen - "this one right over here" for every clothing item she holds up

I have to admit this type of thread gives me the biggest laugh of the day.
It's all true what everyone says, but it's also SO funny, just tickles my funny bone reading it all.
I'll even add one: Kim Gravel always saying, "Money....money, money, moneeeeeeeeey." OMG...

I can't really blame the hosts for words/terms they use. I'd go crazy having to talk about most of Q's products for 20 minute or more.

I've wondered how many times a host will have to present something he or she doesn't like. Of course, it's the host's job to present the product in the best possible light. Still, I would hate to have to make up something positive to say for something in which I don't particularly care. Maybe the reason for the repetitive words?

Courtney's always saying, "that's like a (choose your word) moment"...
it's always a moment for her. moment this, moment that...
Feeling snippy right now cause I just heard her say it again,....and again. . guess it's an "again moment".

When a host presentation starts getting to me I say to myself:
1. Oh I've been watching QVC toooooo long
2. Mute
3. Change channel
I only watch certain shows & even those are "stale". I remind myself I've been a customer since day 1 and times change & so do the crazy sales tactics! Even David and his relentless repetition of colors & how many left have me changing the channel😉
