Fantasy QVC clear out...

[Peppermint Patti]

I'd clear the the lot out. They are either past their sell by date, up their own backsides or smarmy.

 

[Lord Mark]

Ahh, you mean Lucy Piper. The one who talks with that learnt silly baby voice.

That's the one.

1. That's what I like about her! I feel sorry for her 'cause she's a posh old bird who's been reduced to flogging a brand that's not even a shadow of what it was in its heyday. I guess it's the same for her, but for heaven's sake surely she can afford to hang up the sweaty besequined polyester rubbish and retire gracefully!
2. I don't - Please eloborate - I NEED to know!
3. Agreed
4. Nooooh I love Jackie she's silly fun

Sorry Gill Gauntlet, she's as common as muck - well that's what I think she's trying to portray. For some reason I think it's put on in order to come across as a down to earth honest bird who says it as it is - she's yer best mate and you can trust her 100% - I don't buy it!

I think posh smug blonde is the one that sells Kelly Hoppen stuff one minute and gardening stuff the next. Some interior designer with second home in Cornwall. Can't for the life of me think of her name!!

I'd get rid of:
Keeley Aydin
Gill Gauntlet
Abby Cleever
Gail Samways
Lorna Ko
The American Alexandra
All the beauty Brand ambassadors who have new faces (they don't trust their own products)
Deffo Andi Peters, then most of the QVC lot, apart from Julia Roberts, Debbie Flint, Catherine, Anne Dawson and Jackie Kabler!!

I like watching the Diamonique shows but when Smarmy Lee Clarke is the BA, off goes my tv. He’s been on for all the DMQ shows this week so I haven’t watched or bought anything. Another DMQ show on tonight so knowing my luck he’ll be on again and with Eyelid Naan. Smarm and insincerity personified.

It seems that Alison O’Reilly is no longer the DmQ BA. I do hope she’s not unwell again. It may be it’s detrimental to her jewellery business that QVC sell so much stainless steel and brass DMQ.


I think it was one of the ladies who presented the Gadget Show, Pollyanna something or other. Was married to Smarmy Lee.

I saw a post on Alison O’Reilly’s instagram recently and she was very poorly and back in hospital, if I remember correctly she was paralysed and had lost the use of her legs. It was heartbreaking to read and I haven’t seen an update since.

Glen Campbell. Giddy and stupid and has the habit of inhouse private jokes
Laura Fleming “everything is a drama…..I need your help”


Who had affair with Peter Andre. New one on me

Same here

 

[backstreetgirl]

I'd get rid of:

Charlie, I find him very creepy and smarmy, he loves everything and tells us that we do too... he said the other week "I'm loving that you're loving these." Oh please.

Jilly....aaaaaaaaaah welcome back, they do, they are, they will, they have, you're loving the pink, boring presentations

Gail Samways - TOO LOUD!

Lorna Ko, she just reels off info with no real interest in her voice

Ophelia, say no more, she will never improve

I find Charlie creepy too

I find Charlie creepy too

He makes me shudder.

Oh no, I am so very sorry to hear this news. Alison is so lovely, I do hope she is getting good treatment, bless her.

 

[candycane]

I also hope Alison O'Reilly is OK after going through such a lot.

Can't stand Ann Dorrington and her stupid voices that she puts on, plus all the utter crap she sells. Get rid of cheese ball Biagi and his fake questions on the gardening shows. Also less of Chloe and someone please send Ophelia to elocution lessons. Can we get rid of Melissa Hardy and her Where's Wally glasses and can she stop lending them to Pipa and Katy who also look ridiculous.

I actually don't mind Lorna Ko, I think she sometimes has a difficult gig demonstrating some of the rubbish she gets given (and Michael Perry is often downright rude to her) and I don't mind the Grumpy Gardener man. I also like Richard Jackson, Ken Evans and Christina who does the Elemis.

Yippee. At last a decent BA for DMQ. No Mr Smarmy just nice Ruth Linnett. QVC might get a sale from me, unless it steel or brass.

She used to work at Gemporia..

I have seen her on a few times with diamonique.

Charlie likes to control situations, by leading the subject matter away from the item, having a nice little chat about something completely unrelated then bringing it back sharply to the brand, sometimes leaving the brand ambassadors floundering. I find it embarrassing and cringe-worthy and it shows up his inconsideration, rather than highlighting the BA's lack of control. He needs to be matched with brand ambassadors (if we have to have BAs and presenters on screen together) with stronger personalities who aren't so easily led astray. But surely he's paid enough (as are the rest of the presenters) to have the skills to present items by himself so these situations wouldn't arise? Particularly if half of what he's saying is a red herring.

I like her as well.

 

[Grizelda]

It doesn't much matter what the product is, I am afraid Jill Franks is an instant turn off for me. I've been known to sit through an entire show of Jackie and Ruth Langsford, I would never buy from the range but they are sometimes better than amusing, especially if regular telly is a total yawn fest!

I don't dislike JF. She's funny peculiar.

He's a slippery one.

I probably wouldn’t clear out any of the presenters, although there are quite a few that I cannot watch, because I use the mute button and so can ignore the shouting, the pressure selling and all the irrelevant babble about families and holidays etc.

However, if we were able to clear out certain brands then Elemis and Dyson would be at the top of my list.

I like June, but she occasionally slips up and forgets she's supposed to be posh all the time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that. When she's talking very slowly she remembers her elocution lessons and rounds her vowels, albeit unnaturally. When she gets excited, or goes a bit off-script, she can get quite Gala Bingo Hall. Silly old trout - but I've got a soft spot for her, with her cruises and her zumba classes.

You get a job as a presenter on QVC, it is a job for life. Unless, of course, when your contract comes up you don't take what they are offering. Remember Debbie Greenwood?

The BA's are employed by the brands.

Along with the fragrant Anthony Heywood, Julian Ballantyne and Sara Griffiths (who I really didn't like).

I think Anthony left of his own accord as he got a job working for on Cruise liners.

I think i'm the only one in Charlie's fan club...I find him laidback & amusing...he doesn't shout or try and force the item's down the viewer's throats like most do.

Squawky Pippa is another tho that i'd like to hear less of...and she always seems to be clasping a cup of coffee on set.
