Quit filling time telling us the count.

One host in particular, David V., spends almost his entire presentations giving counts of what is left....really irritating when there are 8 plus colors of an item....jeez, talk about the product, if it sells out, oh well.....

I think they (whoever THEY are) are telling him in his earpiece to do that. They probably think it creates a sense of urgency to get to your phone and order before whatever it is sells out. Same with the colors, over and over and over again.

That is information probably most want.  I know I do.  If I want something and trying to decide if I should wait to order and  and the host says there are fewer than a certain amount then I can order and won't miss out on something I really want.

Seriously? This bothers you? I actually get a kick out of hearing this stuff! If your remote has a mute button, use it.

Sheesh !

It's the reason why I stopped watching ITKWD.  I don't see why they can't do a scroll across the screen similar to what they do for other items.

I'm glad David did that today concerning the Farmer Jon's Hulless popcorn

I've been wanting to try it and today it was no shipping cost. I had to do that remote ordering process, but, I got thru in time before wait list.

Re: Quit filling time telling us the count.

Unlike days gone by, there's not much being sold here that I worry about selling out before I decide... especially during the 'gifting' season... In fact, when the powers that be decided the way to go was to offer frenzied and frantic hosts doing a single presentation for twenty minutes at a time, virtually quivering over redundant and stale merchandise... I pretty much stopped watching... I noted HSN still has the on-screen counter... It serves the same purpose and isn't nearly as annoying... They too still update the numbers, but it isnt' quite as much a focus... But hey, let's run through colors again...

       I think telling the viewers once or twice during the item

presentation time frame is a good idea.   But the hosts do tend to overdo the color/quantity alert!!

David said that Laurie Shore likes to hear the count.  He just announced they had sold over 100 thousand Mrs. Prindables, but he had to get close to her before he announced it.  She practically swooned.
