Good for you. I don’t use the mute button, I use the turn the channel OFF button. And I use the program guide to see when it’s “safe” for me to watch again. Actually that might be “unsafe” since my bank account usually takes a hit when they aren’t on! But hey, good for you that you enjoy manic Emily. I watch to shop, but I won’t buy from someone who I don’t particularly care for – I do the same at brick and mortar. If the salesperson is ageist, manic, hard sell, insincere, more into themselves than listening to my needs, etc, I just leave and come back later and find another salesperson, or shop online.

You are 100 correct. But Amy was so fun to watch, because she loved her job and her customers. I watched because she had so many deals on brands I’ve used forever like Benefit, Chelsea’s Beauty Spy stuff (I have been a K Beauty junkie since before it was a thing – I found great products in S Korea back in the 80’s when I was there in the USAF, so I have been so happy to see Neogen and Dr Tree on HSN). But I won’t buy from Sarah because she tries way too hard and has since her days on Shop HQ/Evine/Shop HQ.

I don’t think I can take an overconfident Emily, if she thinks she is “queen” – she is the newest host, yet is the one I have seen mentioned (and not just by me) as needing the most guidance in selling products and not having viewers turn her off and buy online. I have gone so far as to wait until the products she sold in her blocks are sold by another host before I buy. I do the same when Sarah sells, because I have caught her in outright lies in her attempt to hardsell – I do not watch her either.

I think you would win that bet. If we had drinking games where we drink every time Emily repeats a phrase over and over and over in the same paragraph (4 times for “of course” in three sentences just today), and the ignorant “my friends” – who told her that was a good way to ingratiate herself with viewers? Wrong. It’s patronizing and condescending when it’s overused. She needs to go back to hosting school. All the hosts and vendors are her good friends and she falls all over herself when they come on.

She is the shoe rep – they didn’t say anything when she was just on last week.
