Susan, please take a breath.

I wish Susan Graver would occasionally stop talking.  The host can't even get through the colors without Susan interrupting over and over, usually to make some useless exclamation like "uh, so gorgeous!"  She talks over everybody.  I can't watch any of her shows unless I mute most of them which takes away from the delivery of information I want to hear in order to buy.

They all rudely talk over each other.  Hosts are as bad or worse than vendors.  With some host/vendor combos, we don't stand a chance.

Re: Susan, please take a breath.

I do watch Susan when I think I might want to buy something, but just like I don't watch more than a few seconds of the vast majority of the designers because I just don't buy what they're selling, I don't watch Susan except with Pat on any regular basis.

 

I can filter out most of the "noise" and focus on what I need to know, but I will be happy when/if we ever get everybody back together because I truly dislike the remotes.  

 

Good thing I really don't need or want much now.

I like her clothes  and always take a look on Clearance or AS IS for them.  However I really don't like to watch or listen to her presentations.  I imagine she would make a great person to have lunch with or go out shopping, etc.... but she simply talks too much.  My guess she even talks to herself when she is not on the air.  I do like her but not on TV presenting her products.

Re: Susan, please take a breath.

I have just stopped watching the Q!!!  The prices are outrageous, the products are not of quality, and they fired some of the best hosts!!  It's too bad they are money hungry with the Q1, Q2. & Q3, it's not surprising they are struggling and now only re-runs on 2 of their channels.  

Oh and SG will always be the saleswoman she has always been, talking 90 miles and hour over the hosts.

@Kachina624  My least favorite combo is SK and Isaac Mizrahi.  They are so busy competing with each other, loudly squealing like little girls at a sleep over, and going off on personal tangents that I can barely watch.  I know there are viewers who like them, but they are not my style at all.  They are so over the top (to me) that I feel like I'm watching an annoying reality TV show instead of a clothing presentation.

 

My favorite combo is Valerie Parr Hill and just about any host.  VPH has such a quiet manner that her presentations are like gentle, natural conversations to me.  It is WAY too easy for me to watch her for long periods of time, and I feel like I always end up buying something.

Well you can see the colors on the TV so I don't see the problem, plus they are shown online.  Skype doesn't help with timing either.

@rms1954  That's awesome.  Next time you're at the store, I hope you won't mind a salesperson incessently chattering in your face while you're trying to shop.  After all, you can still see the colors, right?

Wow.  You seem a little intense over the whole thing.  I thought you were talking about watching QVC, not store shopping.

Susan doesn't change. But she gets a lot of buzz on these boards regarding her behavior. I don't care what you say about me as long as you spell my name correctly. Her stuff sells.
