Please, Please, Please Stop The “My Friends”

Debbie is the best and Suzanne!

I believe a mute button would be handy for people. I won’t throw shade at anyone just trying to make it. I found her to be exciting today when the switch to PA happened today. I enjoyed it.

I think Tamra is gonna shine in PA. She is now one of the “oldschool” . When Lesley Ann Machado gets back in July with her laid back, uber calm sales demeanor, it will really show how manic Emily is. Tina has her comedic thing which is helping her now. Emily has nothing and maybe she realizes it and that she has nothing redeeming to fall back on so she’s just reaching for anything and coming up short.

So glad you posted this..I can’t watch her because she tries to act like she’s familiar with customers and it’s so
fake. She talks incessantly about nothing. Calm down?and just be real with people. Another term they use is “let’s dive in”. They all say it, so I guess because they’ve been told to say it. FYI – Please STOP!! Suzanne and Debbie say “guys” way to much..Don’t care for Sarah and her fascination with herself thinking she’s a model and her hard sell. I will definitely be saving alot of money because I only care for Callie.

I almost breathe a sigh of relief seeing others comments! . I am sure she is a lovely person and she certainly is beautiful, I do not wish to be critical because honestly I would love to do what she does (be a host!) and I cannot imagine how difficult it is, plus now this new adventure of having to move up north – difficult to say the least! do find that she is on overdrive constantly, almost like nervous chatter, therefore I typically do not choose to watch her. She seems to be a “fit” for the new PA vibe I’m seeing but I would love to see her step back, tone down the dramatic constant laugh and gestures and just be the real deal! good luck HSN on this huge shifting!

Debbie D is constantly saying “you guys”.

It honestly makes her seem a bit uneducated in television (and I KNOW she isn’t, otherwise she wouldn’t be here). As was said “PHRASE VARIETY” (great example, BTW!). She has a tendency to repeat certain things CONSTANTLY (I mentioned that in other post – where she said “of course” SIX times in three run on sentences (I know this because I use CC in watching TV – it’s great when having to rewind to SEE what was said about a product, or just in a show period, not just shopping networks)).

Emily is the ONLY host that is this bad about latching on to a phrase in a three hour block and using it ad nauseam. It turns me off from watching her at all. The “my friends” sounds nice the FIRST couple of times. AFTER THAT, using it every other sentence becomes insincere. Plus, the way she was all over Guy when it was his last show – and she already KNEW that the host still in FL couldn’t hear her because the feed doesn’t work that way – “I want to talk to MY FRIEND” “Hi Guy!!!!” Thank goodness they cut her off and went directly to Guy. After she came back to have another hour of shopping is when she said that HSN would be bigger and brighter now that they were in PA – which is exactly why I posted her choice of words was tacky.

I’ve been called worse. 🙂

I don’t watch her much. I am guessing this to be true. Some times a person will repeat a phrase because of a lack of product information. It may be nerves, too. I don’t like it because they are not my friends. Just be natural. I think we would all appreciate that from all hosts.

For the love of all things ‘phrase variety’! Her CONSTANT chatter of my friends is not sweet, not warm, not genuine, and not necessary. It’s mind boggling that she cannot stop saying it. So rather than annoy myself watching or listening to her, I just shop the shows she hosts online. Truthfully they all get on my last nerve for one reason or another so it’s easier that way. My fuse is non existent. My tolerance is low. My time is tight, and my critical nature needs a break. I am my own pain in the behind. I’m my biggest pain in the behind! I need a break – perusing the website relaxes me.

I think she’s just trying to be nice! Are you mad when Colleen constantly says you guys??
Lets be nice!

First of all she seems a lovely and genuine person. I rather hear her say “my friends” all the time which is nice to listen while out there is so much hostility and negativity with people now a day. Blessings to everyone.

We appreciate your honest feedback. All of us including our hosts always look for opportunities to improve ourselves. Thank you for helping us provide better service.

I like her also, however she says my friends literally every third sentence. It’s a nice, heartfelt phrase, but she should not use it so often!

There is nothing wrong with saying “my friends.”
