Jade Troth is back

[Nicci205]

Yep. 3 hours of Jadeite, followed by a "Daily Discount" coated metal silver diamond ring. Oh well.

Question is...is it worth checking in to GC when it's 4 hours of "January Sale"?!!

No. Sadly not. They clearly have nothing to offer.

Yeah, I have been wondering the same. I watched a bit of GC yesterday and it was depressing.
About the Daily Discount, I posted in another thread that I think it's all Chinese-sourced tat and they are not going to change my mind with offers like that.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Gemporia desperately needs new ownership, new management and new ideas.

I don't believe that the current owners/managers know how to turn this current s**tshow around.

New ideas, new products, new presenters and a new approach to channel output are desperately needed.

If they want to keep the channel/company they seriously need to switch it up a lot. Less Jade Troth, less shouting, better quality gems, less misinformation with claims that just aren't true. Realistic prices and accurate gemstone facts. Don't yell poor people certain item are of heirloom quality when they just are not. They need to sell good quality at reasonable prices. If they are selling poor quality then at least price it as such. They need to have a cleared business model and decide what the company is actually trying to be. As it is it is just a mess.

Back to basics. As you probably know, back in the day, it used to be gemstones and jewellery: which, thanks to a member of the family's suggestion branched out into DIY jewellery, but STILL gemstone oriented. Now, it's like an TV department store. If you want that, there's QVC, TJC and everyone's favourite 'almost jumble sale', IW. If it wants to become a general store, allot hours. I've said it before, but it doesn't even have to be 24 / 7, but collate all the channels. Say, run them from 8am - 11pm. That's '5' channels over 12 hours. The amount they sell per hour you could easily give each 'channel' 3 hours and sell with no waffle or 1 item an hour. Example. 8-11am, HM, 11-2, JM, 2-5, Gemporia and 5-8, GC, and finally from 8-11pm, all the odds. Kimbie, Bamboo and such.

The tree has gone back into the cupboard.
Troth has been brought out of the cupboard.
Santa has delivered a new shipping container full of Jadeshite.

The whole shebang has lost it's soul.

I'm not being rude: angel, I am. Never really noticed that: but I don't watch him long enough to notice. But perhaps he does that to stop himself falling asleep mid-waffle. He pinches himself when he feels sleepy.

Maybe he has one of those 'clickers' in his pocket like weather presenters hold discreetly in their hand? Instead of it scrolling to the next weather page, perhaps it activates a 30-second clock.......

Or maybe it's linked to a bulls**t detector. Every time there's a waft of bulls**t in the studio, an alarm activates - and perhaps Dave has to quickly deactivated the alarm quickly, via a button in his pocket, before viewers notice?
