Posted in Forum: Talk Among Yourselves
I found an interesting article online from “pagesix” in May. It details how after the merger, the hosts and many regular guests of HSN received an email memo from an exec at HSN telling them to “stop presenting items like a used car salesmen with false claims, if they do, etc”, and it apparently infuriated many of them. I’ll try to link to it below if links work here, but in general you can search online for “HSN stars livid over exec’s ‘condescending and disrespectful email” from pagesix and it will pull the article up. After reading I’m curious if anyone agrees with it.
I realize there are many more women than men who shop on HSN/QVC, but I do have to chime in. I’m a geek so pay MUCH more attention to the electonics and gadget presentations than many might. Over time, I have heard many false claims made by a number of items (computers, cell phones, tech in general, etc). Sometimes I think it’s the host simply not learning much on the product and winging it – but when they have the tech expert co-hosts on, I have caught some of them blatantly lying about things before. It’s a real turn-off and yes, could be described as a used car salesman type of atmosphere. I have actually logged in during a live presentation to comment and fix inaccurate claims during a show just so I know some people will have accurate info on an item I’m familiar with.
Anyway, my point is that this could explain why some of the sellers you all are talking about may no longer be there. Some may have been dropped, but perhaps after that memo went out some of them got angry and simply left. I don’t really think I’ve seen many product sales people lie outright (at least not a lot)… it’s always the hosts or the tech experts cohosts. Just wondered what people thought about it. Link to that article I was talking about: HSN Hosts and Guests angry…

Posted in Forum: Kitchen & FoodWhen is Curtis and or HSN going to address the problem of the beautiful colored pots and pans discoloring when used on gas stoves!!!!
I invested a lot of money buying all RED pots and pans from Curtis Stone only to now have hombre pots and pans!!!!! They are a pale, ugly color on the bottom and the brilliant, beautiful color RED on the rest of the sides. It looks hideous and not what I invested all this money in!!!! Yet this problem is never addressed! Oh wait, Customer Service did tell me to lower the heat…well, if I want to cook like Curtis shows us to, one needs to raise the heat to get things sauted, braised, grilled, etc.
So Curtis, please, what is up with the fading of the colors on the pots and pans!!!!????
