I never thought I'd say this.....

....as I started off not liking either of the new girls, but I don't mind Annaliese too much and prefer her to Ophelia any day! I just can't take to Ophelia at all, her voice is not a presenter's voice, it grates on me, the way she says her words is annoying, she speaks quite loud and, I think, comes across as insincere. I watched Ophelia this afternoon when I flicked over to QVC and saw her with Molton Brown, I ended up turning the tv off and went on their website instead.

I feel the same, Backstreet Girl. I thought she would get the hang of things in time, but she seems to have become worse: monotone/unpleasant voice, rushed delivery, obvious insincerity. I don't want to see someone lose their job, but if customers stop buying when she is presenting, I think QVC will give her the push. If they keep buying, she'll stay.

I don't rate either of them.

I don't rate either of them.

Me neither.

I've tried to like Ophelia but she talks too fast and combined with her accent I find her a bit hard to listen to. I do think she's improved since she started though.

Doesn’t matter - you will still be called out.

Somehow it’s a different ball game if you criticise Spaniel ears, Julia or Jill F - don’t hear them then.

Exactly. You'll still be accused of it though.

I know ,nowadays you can't seem to make comments about anything.

I shall only refer you to the last couple of posts on the Annaliese thread. That's all I'm saying.

Where do QVC hire their staff from? Who chooses these new presenters? I wouldn’t even employ them in a shop let alone to the entire country through a tv screen. Ophelia, just go home!

That’s what I do. When Ophelia comes on, I’m off.
