Please suggest to Susan Graver , please allow the hosts to go over the colors of her items, she continuously interrupts the hosts . I know she is very excited about her new items but sometimes she is like a runaway train n it seems like she doesn't give host a chance to describe the product!

I like SG just the way she is.  She's the most informative about her items.  She's one of my favorites and I love her offerings!

  I like Susan Graver's line and hear she's been on for over 20 years. I know during the 2 years I've been watching all of the hosts always want to go over colors FIRST then talk about item so it's not like it's something new to Susan.  I don't get why every single time the host has to literally interrupt Susan to go over colors, it's frustrating.  Susan has a nice line I especially like her prints they're gorgeous but I've gotten to the point unless she's just on presenting one item I won't watch her, she's too much, or as you so eloquently put it "like a run away train"!  I agree, Susan please let the hosts go over colors! I'd also like to suggest to Susan please stop admiring yourself in the camera, it's not becoming and you're well aware of what you look like before you come out!

The ladies who complain ad nauseum about SG should buy tv's that have mute buttons, they make them now...lol   This SG bashing is laughable now.  Something about her drives a certain segment of older women crazy and I think it's just jealousy.  She's Qvc's highest selling and most popular clothing designer, so she's obviously doing something right...after....something like 25 years with Qvc.  She's a middle aged woman who is smart, she's cute, she has a great figure, she's assertive and that does not sit well with some women because it doesn't fit their idea of what an "older" woman should be.  if she were 40lbs heavier and griped about her figure challenges, they'd love her...lol

The constant mild but intense bashing of older women is more than annoying to those of us who are fortunate to be older and still mentally alert.  What she did right was sell her line to QVC years ago.  (I've been around long enough to remember)  The fact that she is rude and inconsiderate of the hosts (and thus the viewers) has nothing to do with age. It's annoying to anyone with good manners, from six to 106.  No wonder she is the highest selling host - she's on more hours than anyone else with QVC. Good grief folks.  It's not enthusiasm - it's a manic approach to sales and an assumption that used car salesmen are doing it right.

  I don't know what makes you assume the 2 of us that dislike some things  about Susan Graver are "older".  I am middle aged, the last thing I am is jealous, of anyone!  I am a strong, successful, woman with a nice figure among other things and I like, admire, and gravitate towards strong successful women even cute ones with nice figures. 😊.  I just don't care for the 2 things I posted about Susan and it has NOTHING to do with why you think I dislike those things.  I simply don't like people that constantly interrupt and that constantly admire themselves while talking to others. I also don't like it when people judge me or others on very little information and especially those who presume to know me or my reasoning for something I say without asking!  We are all entitled to our opinions, likes, and dislikes it's what makes the world interesting. You too are entitled to your opinion even about me, you're just very wrong about me in your jump to conclusions!

These same suggestions have been made to SG for many years to no avail.  It has gotten worse.   People who like and want to buy her products need to be shown the colors and get other information so they can make a purchase before their color and size sell out.  Once all the needed information has been given there is lots of time to style and chit chat.  Yes we know we can get the information on line but we should not have to sit with our tablet everytime we watch her shows.  No information, no purchase.  According to reviews, forums and their bottom line QVC is having declining numbers.  Could it be that customers are having to many costly returns because quality and value is not up to par as years past.  SG has more shows and individual item air time than any other designer.  I have come to believe that since Audrey passed QVC has gained a major control of SG Co and maybe she is under a great deal more pressure to push sales.   According to an occasional comment SG is surprised by the appearance of certain products she has never seen.  She does recover and blame her memory.  At this time in her career she should be under less pressure and enjoying the fruits of her years of work.

@chrystaltree

Huh? What does age have to do with it? Your comment makes no sense. The complaint was about rudeness-- etiquette, manners. My niece in college is  the manners coach at her sorority, so it isn't simply older people who still believe in at least a modicum of polite behavior.

     You have got to be kidding!!!  Good grief - why do you assume that those of us that don't like Susan's behavior on TV are not smart, are jealous, are older, don't have a cute figure and are not assertive??  You could not be more wrong!!!  I own many of Susan's items, but rarely watch her on the Q.   Watching her shows are not a pleasant pastime anymore... and so I don't watch!!
