This change is killing me
Just saw Amy’s last show, she is one of my favorite hosts. The Beauty Report will never be the same without her. Sarah is nice but she is not Amy. Amy made the Beauty Report fun and interesting and definitely get you to buy the products she promotes. I will miss her so much, it makes me very sad. I have tried to watch HSN PA and it is not the same, the vibe is different, and I HATE IT. You can tell even Sarah acting different I hope Debbie doesn’t change, I like her. This change is very hard, I’ve been watching HSN for over 27 years. I watch QVC however, I always loved HSN more. QVC is fine, but HSN should have remained HSN not a copy of QVC. I miss all of my favorite hosts and all the HSN models, which are all beautiful and professional in all shape, sizes and color.
I don’t think this was a good move on HSN, one that may cost them loss of customers. I truly hope things will improve for those that are staying but from what I have seen so far I don’t think so.

Bring Amy back!

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHIG. I WAS WATCHING HSN ON TV AND I FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING QVC. THE HOST THE MODELS EVERYTHING IS NOT HSN AND I DON’T LIKE IT. I STOPPED WATCHING QVC LONG AGO AND HERE AGAIN I’M WATCHING THEM. THE OLD HSN HOST ARE DRESSING DIFFERENTLY, THEIR HAIR , THE MAKEUP . THE MODELS LOOK LIKE QVC THE NEW HOST LOOK LIKE QVC AND I NOTICE HSN INVOICE IS FOR BOTH HSN AND QVC. NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

RIP for all those that this is killing.

It must be very difficult for the HSN employees to have to relocate. And that is probably just the tip of the iceberg as they most likely do not feel at home in a different studio. The whole feel is something that they are not used to. And I think that Sarah is really a very sweet person. I am sure that having the type of job that she has can prove to be stressful at times. Life is full of adjustments that we have to make, but sometimes it fails to be easy. Just my opinion (and everybody has a right to theirs).

Like I just posted, this move is going to be great for my pocketbook. I won’t be watching, so disappointed.
-
For me ,it’s not so much the move that bothers me.It’s pushing the same never ending products
It’s time for some changes..different beauty, fashions and shoes. Get some new interesting brands.The shoes here have no character ,how about some cute buckles and bling?Tops are plain how about some lace and more fitting.And, more affordable beauty kits.Bring in some beauty boxes, it’s been awhile, -
the problem is qurate. there destroying HSN. we need HSN as most chain stores are closing and all that etc are HSN and QVC but HSN needs to get rid of qurate retail group. HSN needs to look for another retail to take over to separate them from QVC.

Personally, I think Sarah tries WAY too hard to be likeable. and she comes off as fake AF. Plus Amy just has that fun factor. It will NOT be the same – in fact I don’t think TBR will be successful with Sarah at all. Maybe if they put LesleyAnn in there instead, because she is so relatable..
-
I totally agree. Sara does not do a good job.
-
I agree with you 100%

The vibe in PA IS different, the hairstyles have even changed a bit as well as wearing different colors of lipstick, ok to each his own! I watch both channels, i shop both channels, i enjoyed the more relaxed vibe of HSN but apparently the nail in the coffin was the hurricane (I’m sure that wasn’t really it but let’s just go with it) and then today the tornado required a “blackout” re-showing last nights Todays Special preview. If this is what works for them I applaud trying to stay in business and shuffle them both. I think it terribly hard on the Hosts that have to relocate or loose their Host job, perhaps they will use them in some way as it has already been proven that candids and presentations CAN be made from locations other than the actual studio. But to point, there is for sure a different “feel” to it all …..
-
💯 that the vibe is different….I’m sure even the hosts feel it and can do nothing about it. I can sense it in them too😞I’m hoping it will smooth out some….

Was just watching Tina show she said she is rooming with Nicole Hicki so are they going back and forth till they sell there homes that’s got to be hard for there families
I agree with other reviews it’s not the same hope it gets better when all the hosts get to PA I have noticed they are dressing up more then they did in Florida-
I noticed that too….and Tina has said she doesn’t wear jewelry yet they had her as host of a 2hr jewelry show🤷♀️ She seemed out of place and not in her comfort zone…. Hope they work out of the quirks soon💓 I’m sure it’s a weird time for them too!

Did you all know that Lesley Ann Machado has been rehired by HSN and will be back on air in early July. It was a huge mistake to let her go
-
If the change of a shopping channel is “killing” you I think you should get a new hobby.. Serious.
-
I agree. It’s not killing anyone. As we go through life, change is inevitable. HSN is just another retailer having financial problems. People seem to miss that point. For all you watchers, did you ever buy anything?
-
Yes Ennui, I’ve been buying ever since I started watching, and I buy perhaps too much. Sorry but I just need to vent how I feel.
-
You stated what many feel so no need to apologize, that’s what this board is for! Thank you for that and your feelings are prob a large majority of viewers . I would hope most people know that “it’s killing me” is an expression!
-
I totally understand what you meant and how you feel😉 Obviously it’s not literally killing but it can be a big disappointment because often it’s the little things that make life more fun, right? On Wednesdays I would think yay tonight is takeout mex night and watching Amy on Beauty Report💞 now it will be different and even if it’s just tv shopping, that’s what we were used to and loved…. so I get your feelings😊 Hopefully, the hosts that are in Pennsylvania will get more adjusted and comfortable. Even Sarah may now suddenly feel like a “fish out of water”…. Let’s just hang in there with them and see how it goes! 🫵

Sashara, don’t apologize. You are entitled to feel as you do, especially if you have spent $’s with HSN. I agree I don’t like the changes, but as noted above, HSN is a retailer. All retailers are having problems. Listen to news or read online. It seems everyday a retailer is closing its doors. I knew when HSN moved its production to PA, the hosts were going to change. QVC hosts are not the same and since they are moving into their facility, it makes sense that HSN hosts are going to be more like QVC hosts. They want to keep their jobs. It is going to be more competitive. That is not to say that QVC hosts are the be all and end all. They are not. Most of the good hosts on QVC are gone. My suggestion is to just evaluate the products. If you like what you see, buy it. If not, move on…just as if you were entering a brick and mortar store. If you enter a store and they do not have what you want, you move on to one that does.

I agree

Same here! You said exactly what I feel, too!

Hi SHASARA. I feel the same way you do.
