@lucky-girl 

 You should have seen Alberti & Sandra .

 She had a crab cake that she was  opening with her fork to show everyone how much crab was in the cake  and suddenly another person's fork is in the  camera. The other person's fork is also splitting the crab cake open to the point where they are knocking the crab off the plate onto the display table . Come to find out it was Alberti's fork in hand...

Most all of the hosts do that now; making the focus on personal life scenarios we have no interest in, instead of giving pertinent info on the product.  It's like they are celebrities and we care about their lives.  Just too much tomfoolery.

I have seen the many posts from a number of people in this community about their absolute frustration and intolerance for this host or that host on a show they just saw.

I was fortunate that while some hosts are more enjoyable than others to me, I was never 

really driven to distraction by anybody until this morning.

I was up very early and there was a rebroadcast of gourmet holiday with Alberti and someone whose name I did not find out until I saw it in a post above.  I guess her name was Sandra. This was honestly the first time I understood what people mean when they claim that a host drove them to change the channel.  That woman never stopped talking for a second.  She talked over Alberti.  She talked over the reps. She interrupted anyone and everyone who attempted to speak.  At one point they were showing some French pastries and there were 3 varieties.  When time was nearly up. Alberti had to tell her they had not yet spoken about variety number 3 and she was surprised to hear that.

She was so busy with her nonstop talking she was unaware of what was going on in the presentation.  I sincerely hope they put her on selling car chargers at 3 AM from now on.

You know you want to pick up numerous quantities of the same item to give to your mailman, your UPS driver, your neighbors from 5 blocks down, etc.  Smiley LOL

Anyone missed the food show  yesterday with  Jane and Julia  I see this morning show being repeated on Q 2 this morning EST. If you missed the show and don't mind watching nonsense that went on for 4 hours,take it in.

Once again post was taken down about Jane and Julia,reason UNKIND they did it to themselves. But I see this one still up about Sandra Bennett doing  a Food Show with Alberti.Not as bad as Jane and Julia .

Q why aren't you being fair  to Sandra and removing the negatives about her,if this is your policy.

      I had to turn the J and J show off after a while!  And I am one who does like to watch the food shows...

     Years ago, Jane was a favorite.  But her hosting tactics have changed.  Now I cannot tolerate her silliness and family stories. Her family tales do not sell the item!!  I have always thought Julia was too loud and overbearing.  Yesterday, she proved it!!
