Hosts Leaving in June
So far, I’ve seen Facebook goodbyes from Robin Wall, Connie Craig-Carroll and Brett Chukerman. Please let us know if anyone sees any others. I will be sorry to see them go. Sometimes, change is good – sometimes, it’s just change – and sometimes, it’s hard to understand.

What makes me mad is that I purchase product with free shipping and when returned, I am charged shipping. Host do not disclose information. Host push to buy product and do not tell about the cost of trying products.
A product is pushed, and then the next product comes out, and host trashes the first product they were marketing. This is better………when one has already purchased first product.
Products from Korea have never worked for me. I have tried 3. It works for some people, obviously otherwise they would not be on air.

I can’t stand watching QVC since the merger. Let’s not forget the outrageous price increases on both channels but mainly on QVC. At least HSN has decently priced TSVs. The hosts on HSN are far better. I have had enough of David and his cohorts. I dread the day when HSN closes down and only QVC is left.
-
smells like a hostile takeover…

-
personally I wish they’d clean house at the Q….MOST of their (not new) female hosts STINK.
They are more concerned with BRAGGING about what size they wear, their life, work outs, kids, and vacations – not to mention the CONSTANT and chronic gazing at themselves in the monitor – it’s just a bit much!
HSN ladies are far more polished in my opinion.-
I couldn’t have said it better. QVC hosts do appear more interested in themselves. I’ve been with HSN for about 4 years and their hosts are poised and very professional. Very sorry to hear Connie has left.

I would like to know where Brett got his gold left-hand ring before he gets too far gone. I don’t know how to contact him. I thought it was through this but I guess not. Please let me know if you can find out. I have seen that ring and really have been wondering since I just love unusual things. Thank you if you can find out. I would really appreciate it.
-
I hope you all realize that show hosts do not necessarily have to give a reason why they are leaving or when they’re leaving for that matter.. I realize we all get attached to them from time to time but they are all only there for one reason and one reason only and that is to sell products! Hate to break your bubble guys! Lol

Since they got rid of joy and Iman I have not been interested – then I see doubly and Burke bags – I didn’t think people still bit those – so many if their clothes now are gross
-
I did not know that Iman was gone or Joy. I bought products from both. And I still have a carry on that Iman and Diane designed themselves with a matching purse in fake patent leather. I have taken it everywhere. I was hoping they would make this design again because its a classic, but I guess that is not going to happen now.
-
That should say Iman and Joy not Diane. I was thinking about DG2 and now I am worried they will get rid of her to.

Just saw QVC has FabFitFun boxes. Seems like they are trying to buy up as much competition as they can. I loved HSN! They had completely different items than QVC and much better prices. The shipping at QVC is ridiculous, and their prices just keep going up and up. Instead of getting rid of the good show hosts, maybe they need to look at the top CEO’s. Looks like they could care less about the customer and now its all about the $$$. Unfortunately the only thing this is doing is losing loyal customers. I also will look other places to make my purchases. Sad to see a good thing go down the drain
-
I think Connie is leaving because she mostly does jewelry and now there are so many fewer jewelry hours and vendors. She and Robyn will be missed.
-
What I notice is that HSN doesn’t have too many exclusive products anymore or even exclusive deals. Before they would have products you can’t find anywhere. I might as well go to a brick and mortar store!
-
I’m not happy with the recent changes on both networks, but mostly HSN. Quite honestly I think they are getting rid of some very talented hosts that I enjoy watching. Also they have removed products I enjoyed too .
HSN is now featuring some boring items that don’t interest me. I I don’t want to see any more disgusting products like flossing systems. Ewww. I’m sick of watching all the teeth cleaners, all the pillows, all the tanners etc. And How many different brows do you need? Everything is repeated with multiple brands of the same thing.. I feel like they are going down hill and that I’m at a cheap dept. store.I like fashion, jewelry, and a little make up. But how many different creams can you show on TV? Seriously? Enough already. They made Iman leave and put on a million ridiculous hair products, face oils and creams? No thanks. Half the makeup makes the models look worse.
I especially don’t want to buy products presented by distributors saying their products are miraculous yet the company presenters clearly have fake lips, cheeks, and look monstrously phony. Why would I buy their products? One is a designer who looks like a botched facelift. And Seriously, how many varieties of tanning solution do I need to watch? None! Ugh! I don’t want to see most of the products HSN is currently showing. I want clothes, jewelry, some technology. Handbags etc.
If they get rid of DG2 then I’m done. Bad marketing HSN! Poor product choices, and getting rid of excellent hosts? HSN you really are losing your base and your common sense.-
Slinky seems to be on all the time. Don’t know if they are testing to keep the brand or have them on a lot because they are top sellers. HSN is definitely becoming more like the Q.
-
Lol yes Lolly17 there is a lot of grossness! Very vivid portrait you paint. Pretty soon all of those oils and fake tans and such are bound to counteract each other. 😉 They made Iman leave? How did I miss this memo? I’m only just looking through these discussion boards for the first time ever tonight and I’m seeing this everywhere but it’s the first I’ve heard of it. A QVC thing? Please explain. 🙁 Any word if she’s going somewhere else?

Apparently no one is immune from the dreaded pink slip. Sad to see them go. I’m sure they’ll find bigger and better opportunities ahead.

I think these hosts leaving are just a tip of the “iceberg.” As I said above, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they move everyone to Pa so that they can merge into one shopping channel. At one time these owners purchased HSN. However, later on, they brought in QVC as a high quality shopping network. All the energy went into building this new company leaving HSN to fend for itself. Yes, these are the same owners, just under a different company name. They bought HSN because they wanted to go against Amazon and Wal-Mart. So far, in all honesty, I have not seen the necessary changes. Shipping costs have almost doubled. Clearance prices in some cases have gone down a few cents. Vendors we have enjoyed are now with other shopping channels. The list goes on and on. There were other ideas that brought us to HSN. Coupon savings was one of them and lower shipping costs on shoes was another. There were vendors that made us laugh and vendors who were honest and stood behind their products. Now, we are back to another beginning where HSN is beginning to look like a basement store and QVC is still your Lord & Taylor. or Neiman Marcus. Many HSN customers have left and others are purchasing less. All the hoopla we say here seems to go in one ear and out the other. There are times when I wish Barry Diller would buy back HSN and bring it to life once again. Then again, why did he let it go in the first place. Guess all of us have been duped.

I totally agree with you! The changes at HSN forced me to search for other venues and , frankly, it was a benefit to me. I now do a lot of shopping on Amazon and have found it to be a very good experience. I do shop carefully and have found Amazon to be very creditable. I have had a few issues, such as a product leaking or an allergic reaction to a product and the vendors resolved my issues very politely and positively. Also, Kohl”s is now going to partner with Amazon to handle some returns. I say Win Win!

I am going to miss Connie, Brett, and Robin. They each had wonderful personalities. I wish them luck in their future endeavors.
-
I’m assuming that they all got their pink slips at the same time. It’s just too much of a coincidence that they are all leaving the same month. I feel really bad for Connie. I was always under the impression that she loved HSN.
-
@jacalynrn…you bring up a great point and something I had not thought about and that is that they’re all leaving at the same time! It is odd but as you stated…they could have all been given the pink slips from HSN thanking them for their service!

I was just watching Connie Craig Carroll and she said she was leaving. I have to assume this is as a result of the QVC changes. She has been on for 22 years or so. I really like and enjoy watching her. I was really upset when Serious Skincare left. Now hosts. I have noticed less flexpay even when vendors are actually there and on air. The good news I suppose is I am spending less money. I really hope QVC does not continue to impact HSN negatively
