I am noticing more and more that hosts are almost frantic.  They shout, rapid fire talk, cut each other off or just shout over one another.  What is going on.  Personality I can't listen to that very long so of course I turn the station off.  I can always go back on line to see what is offered except I miss one time only items or expering ones.  Perhaps they are told to do that sort of presenting but why?  Maybe I am the only one that is bothered.

This has been a complaint on the forums quite a few times.

No, not new. It's been going on for the past few years...as their viewership continues to decline.

Hucksters.
Used car salespeople.
Fish mongers.
Town criers.
Yell yell yell sell sell sell. It’s their business model and it’s thoroughly unnecessary. I only shop the Q on the web and hunt for actual bargains, not a so-called sale of $10.00 off the regular super inflated price.
I’ve said this before - decades ago watching or listening to the Q as background chatter was truly informational and enjoyable. Sadly, tis no longer the case. I miss those days.

  You can add all the extraneous personal talk between Hosts & Hosts & Reps

This is today's QVC. The CEO keeps talking about entertainment and this is what they came up with. I find it repulsive and unwatchable.

I think some of them are trying to set themselves up for a career after the Q.  Shawn seems to want to get picked up for a talk show (as if we need any MORE of those!).

I agree @santorini that Shawn would love to be a talk show host if she ever left the Q.
