The Hosts Need to be Better Listeners

I think the hosts are trained to fill every second with chatter. The designers/vendors are talking and have a great point to share, but more times than not the hosts don't even hear it or talk right over it. It's so frustrating for the viewer! It also makes the host look unintelligent and like used car salespeople. There are some hosts that have such huge egos and it really appears they simply don't want to acknowledge when someone other than them makes an excellent point. It's painfully obvious, and a big turn-off. Being aware and in touch with the designer makes the show much more palatable. One more thing -- don't you just love it when the designer talks about their top or jacket looking great on the plus size model. But then immediately the host announces that they're own size they have on is a "small," even though you know good & well they look like a size medium or large ..... Way to go, just made the designer's point fall flat, just so you could feel skinny.
