Most of HSN’s customer base have no clue who he is, and can’t afford his overpriced shoes. They are nothing special. I have tried them on at a retail store, and they are not comfortable.

They didn’t have a choice about Iman’s line…she decided to step away. But it was a very BAD business decision to cancel Antthony. Too bad they couldn’t have grabbed Laurie Feltheimer’s line before she went back to QVC. She blows Guiliana’s line out of the water. Mark and James are great though. All the truly great designers are starting to go back to retail. Isaac Mizrahi just returned to Target. Sounds like he make just be the first of many.

Did anyone see the fiasco that got Martino fired? He was so “altered”when he was presenting with Paula Abdul, even Paula was embarrassed and worried. Then he acted completely surprised when he got fired. It was on tape (it’s probably on YouTube for posterity!). He needed to go.

Looks like it’s fixed now – at least for me. Thanks!

This always happens on holiday weekends.

As a matter of RESPECT TO FALLEN VETERANS, please ask your hosts and guests to refrain from saying “Happy Memorial Day”. It’s highly disrespectful to those who are being honored this weekend. There is nothing HAPPY about the holiday’s meaning. Happy Memorial Day WEEKEND is a bit better, but Memorial DAY is never happy.

It’s 100 inappropriate any time. This is a shopping channel. Religion has its own programming and it’s not on HSN or QVC. When they are selling religious themed jewelry – and it’s ALWAYS Christian-themed, which is incredibly biased, it should be very generic, with NO religious hymns, etc. If they do it for one, they must do it for ALL religions.

I am glad you all are finding some of the new hosts to your liking. I cannot like Jasmine no matter how hard I try. I find her incredibly abrasive, which i think is why I can’t get behind a few of the hosts like Sarah Anderson, Emily, Brynne, and Jasmine. I don’t find Brynne abrasive, I find her vapid. I have saved a huge amount of money since I don’t watch these hosts, which means I do not buy anything when they are selling. Bur i’m happy there are some fans because HSN really needs the business with QVC doing the bankruptcy restructuring.

Amanda has had cosmetic surgery – a LOT of it throughout the years. It has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the products. No products on the market ANYWHERE FROM ANYONE will permanently lift the face, etc. Products work in tandem with surgery because one has to use good, effective skincare to maintain hydration – which is the main cause of wrinkles and lines.

She has gotten worse. I turn it off and refuse to purchase anything when she is on. There are three hosts i cannot tolerate for different reasons. Sarah is ob the top of that list. She brings absolutely no value to HSN as far as I’m concerned.

I must say, kudos to HSN for one thing. I got a notice about this post, that there was a post regarding negative comments about the quality. Surprised. HAPPILY. I want to know when things are not as good as they used to be. Do many people just and move on from shopping here. That’s what I’ve done for the most part, after being reamed for znot being 100 positive about the new hosts, which affects MY patronage. I hadn’t experienced the horrible things this poster has, but i see them coming. Qurate is not doing well, so they are cutting costs by cheaper stuff. It’s not working. Good luck, Qurate. You RUINED two decent shopping channels.

Cannot believe that Kimberly needed any help from MaryBeth Roe. That must’ve been the easiest $$$ MBR made in awhile. Kimberly has more experience as a host than ALL of the newer hosts put together. What a joke. If MBR had trained Emily, Jasmine, and any other of the new hosts (other than Rebekah, who I believe was mentored by Lou Caputo for her Origami days), HSN needs to get their money back from her. She used to be really good but she was calling it in at the end and the training has been how to overuse three phrases ad nauseam and laugh at everything a vendor says. SMH.

Welcome back Kimberly. Good to see a host with some experience come back. Hopefully they don’t have you do that “late night toy box” thing that Evine/ShopHQ had you do.

Chapter 11 means they are RESTRUCTURING. Nothing changes with the shopping networks. They are moving things around. We will see fewer flex/easy pays, higher shipping. Things like that. If they go into Chapter 7, that’s when things grind to a halt.

@bewbee “I’m glad we agree” 😉

@skippie16 That is awfully UNCHRISTIAN of you, to ASSUME that everyone who watches shopping channels believe in your Jesus. Religious themed stuff needs to be fully inclusive or NONE AT ALL. Or have themed hours where people can choose to not tune in if they know their religion is not the theme of the day.

HOWEVER, Sarah’s singing even a snippet of the religious song was completely inappropriate. The ONLY place that IS appropriate is in the religious community where it is appreciated and part of the service. How would YOU feel if there was a Muslim host who did chanting or a Jewish host who started singing Hebrew prayer in the middle of a shopping presentation?????

IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE ON A SHOPPING NETWORK and SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. Hopefully, it will never happen again.
