Wow! I cannot believe all the nasty and hurtful comments that are on here about Alberti! All this nastiness must be said since you are not face to face to whomever you are complaining about! Really sad…you guys must be terribly unhappy people for all this nastiness to come out.
As others have said…Get a life – do something nice for someone! It might make you feel better! A smile, a nice gester, or volunteering at a worthwhile agency might give you a better perspective on life! I feel really sorry for people that always complain, complain, complain! Not fun to be around for sure!
Love all the hosts. Alberti is a keeper! I greatly enjoy the food presentations. I like that they pull apart the product. That actually shows me how smooth and moist the product is. Who cares what they do with food after the presentation? Yes, they touch it! They have to do that so the viewer can get a better sense of the product. Overall, my least favorite is Shawn Killinger. Sometimes she looks like something the cat dragged in.
I agree, Shawn is all over the place, don’t see how the filming crew keep up with her. I would not miss her.
I agree with every thing you have said…everything.
Kirsten is all about being cute on camera. Amy Stran is another one. And don’t get me started on Shawn…she’s a little weird. Stop looking so messy and unprofessional and lose the glasses hanging from her nose! The wine-drinking needs to stop with all of them!
You are absolutely right…I can’t stand Popaj! He should go back to acting…he thinks he is god’s gift to women! I know he is a mama’s boy just like David.
Definitely agree with everything you said. I can’t stand all the wine-drinking on QVC/HSN.
Love Alberti,
He has such energy. He is the most embraced Guy that is on QVC. I hope he stays When he is on the air. I look at what he is presenting. Because I feel he is correct. Love you Albertie. You are the best.
Agree. Stop the drinking!
Alberti should replace David on the cooking show. Tired of hearing David’s same old stories about when he was a little boy.
You are so right. Also since he lost weight he does not present the food to make it sound good. He will kick in a comment about the carbs or not even taste it. He was fun to watch but not now.
I ABOUSTELY AGREE WITH YOU 100%!!! I still watch ITKWD but it does not come across as entertaining as is once was and thank goodness, they found Big Bite Steve, to be the punt of his jokes. I am so over hearing about what it better? I use low carb cauliflower and I use Avocado oil now. Really lost your humor with your weight. Time to pass the baton to the next host. Love most of the hosts but I must admit Jen Coffey with Susan Graver is hard for me to tolerate.
Agree Shawn is a bit much to handle! She’s all over the board nd mostly annoying! I don’t watch her shows
What happens to all the food that is displayed? My fave is Courtney! Have no dislikes.
This is for Alberti, I just love you! I lost my husband recently and Alberti makes me smile and even laugh now and then. He is adorable and dresses so nice! I can’t say enough good things about you Alberti, don’t ever change, just be you.
Sincerely,
A fellow Albanian – Peggy Vangel Bouthillier
Please tell your hosts not to say…“You’ll get it home for” then they say the price or amount for your first payment. That is not correct and also very misleading! Alberti, one of my favorites, said that on May 13th.
While I am at it, I tell hosts to cut down on how many times they say the word beautiful, especially in the garden shows.
Been a QVC’r since the beginning. Mary Beth Roe is my favorite. Such a lady, no pretense, no falseness about her. She doesn’t need all the glitz, makeup, hair-flair, or any of the falseness a lot of the other females seem to need who really love to be in the camera spotlight. Too many think they are “STARS” and QVC can’t possibly exist without them. The Carolyn show with D&Co. is a hoot.
Mary from Indiana.
YOU ARE A-1!
I have just finished reading all the comments. I agree with many and don’t agree with others. I have learned to turn off some of the annoying habits people have.
I have complaints about the people who are presenting their wares. Renee Greenstein rubs her bottom as she talks about lifting your booty. Susan Graver does not make pants for petite or fuller figure women. They hang on the floor. She does not seem to believe women of all sizes can be short. This comes from a woman who started in the paint industry and knows how to fit a woman’s trousers on her body.
What is so hideous about Lori G’s arms? I can only imagine what they must look like. She reminds us of her hatred for her arms every time she is on. Since these women are presenting items I want to see, I just don’t pay attention to what they say anymore. They are not going to change what they say and do in front of a camera. so I need to just tune them out and look at the clothes.
Get rid of the wine drinking. You are not getting sales because you are drinking alcohol!
Did everyone forget about Carolyn? She is A. I love her and Gary, Leah, Jane the shoe lady, Marybeth, Renee Greenstein, and Jen Jen.
Get rid of Conceity Courtney. I can’t stand her. Whenever she’s on I miss all of QVC. Tell her to stop looking at herself. She is obnoxious! Thank God I got to tell someone and know I’m not alone. Get her off the air. PLEASE!
4 things….I agree, the wine drinking is not professional! It is misleading to say you’ll get an item home for the first Q card payment. Jen Coffey says OK after presenting every single item in her show, one gets tired of hearing ok ok ok,so I turn her off, Shawn doesn’t have much class, does she really need those glasses she uses as props? Have someone style her hair!
I totally agree!
Jen Coffey is so hyper I never watch when she is on. She needs lessons from Carolyn.
Shawn drives me nuts. She is always primping and trying to outdo the guest. She pretends to know more than the guest and she is always interrupting, especially when she is hosting cosmetics. Shawn really needs to go…
OMG, my opinion exactly about Shawn. She struts around like she owns the place. And all those silly glasses? I don’t think she even needs them but she thinks she looks “cool”. And somebody tell her to get her hair styled .. or at least brushed .. one side is always hanging in her eyes!! She’s totally annoying!!
NEVER WATCH ANY OF SHAWN OR JANE R. T. ‘s SHOWS….
Agree. I don’t care for two hosts at the same time. We are watching to purchase products and hear about the product, not them. Jane looks clownish with all that make up and Courtney is just annoying and they are on constantly!
I would encourage you to do some self reflection. It seems that there are many things you don’t like about yourself or don’t want to recognize and try to improve yourself as a person. Stop watching QVC if the hosts bother you that much.
I miss Stacy Stauffer! She was so sweet & such a great presenter. Also loved Antonella Nester. Can’t stand listening to Shawn’s antics. Rick is so hyper but does a good job. Love Carolyn.
Shawn, Jane R. T. and Rick is so “OUT THERE” geeeeze Rick acts as if he is campaigning for a Fed. position.
I personally like all the hosts, some more than others. As I grow older I am completely baffled by so much unkindness and rude remarks that so many people feel they need to put out there. Turn the channel if a certain host is offending you.
Why turn the channel off? We are here to stay…we just can’t wait till they leave for good, that’s why the comments!
I agree with Francine
My favorite hosts are David & Alberto. I just wish they wouldn’t tear the food they are presenting. A little nibble is ok. Its like they’re playing with the food.
Did I see Alberti at dinner with the Kardashians on their show? If it wasn’t him it was his Doppelgänger! I love his enthusiasm. I’ve never noticed him in tights. Perhaps I’m just never looking? I love he is a foodie. Makes me hungry watching his presentations. He is a real asset to QVC!
Kristin is also good. I don’t understand why people dislike her?
Have to change the channel when he is on. Get him away from the food!
Love Leah and Carolyn. Mary is good too. Gary Goldman has class. I really like them all.
Kristen is fantastic, laid back, natural and unimposing. Moreover, she emanates an inner natural kindness, not to mention also a pretty and pleasant lady.
I prefer David, but I do like Alberti when David is not there.
My favorite guys are David Alberti and Steve. They are fun personable and pleasant. Alberti is a great salesman I would buy anything he would present I would like to see his dogs more. David is inspiring and a fan favorite. Steve is so positive and has a great laugh. Keep up the good job guys
Rick is the only straight guy left on QVC
Sharon Jones – What’s your point?
I agree. What’s her point, and who cares.
Alberto is in a class of his own. IDK how some ppl, like Jen C, made the cut let alone win the prize. I must be getting mean as I age. Great products as always.
Good fun watching David and Alberti, my favorite guy presenters. We all need some smiles these days. I do not appreciate Julia’s bizarre actions and loud voice! Not a fan of the shoe lady or Kirsten. I guess they are just too over the top for me. Jen Coffey is my least favorite due to her overacting and laughing. Just tone it down and be more realistic, please!
I LOVE Alberti!! He is so pleasant & easy to listen to. I also enjoy David, Rachel, Courtney, & Rick. To the lady who keeps complaining about Alberti, the host are supposed to touch the food & eat it. Turn the channel if you find it “gross & infuriating”!! You know what I find infuriating, people that bully nice people. QVC, keep Alberti please!!
I agree, don’t say you’ll get it home for ….. First payment ,which is easy pay payment!
Give Shawn some presentation lessons without the props.
Tell Jen to stop the ok ok oks after each item she shows
Rachel and Rick are good!
I agree, keep Alberti, he’s wonderful to watch. I really like when Alberti and Rachel present together. Love David, too. I enjoy hearing about a host’s experiences.
I hardly ever see Shawn standing. She is always laying down or sitting. Other hosts stand from time to time.
Rachel and Alberto should be nowhere near food. Both are terrible when it comes to presenting food. I usually switch channels when they are on. Sorry I spelt Alberti’s name wrong.
You are so right…keep commenting! Maybe one day they both will work somewhere else.
You need a life! You are rude, unkind, and self-absorbed. It would be nice if there was a switch to turn people like you off!
Good for you!
Like Alberti, David, and Marybeth, I too cannot stand Kristen or Shawn. I change the channel when either of these two is on. Shawn is just a mess, her makeup is atrocious. Kristen just thinks she is something great, but she’s annoying and self-absorbed.
I just love anytime Alberti is on, he brings so much joy to everyone watching him. He is so respectful and we feel he is telling us the truth, doesn’t seem that he is pushing the product. I really like him, but I do not like Kirstin so much I feel she wants the spotlight and really I get the vibes that she really doesn’t like to be on with Alberti on Saturday. Well, this is my opinion I still want to see Alberti more than Kirstin. Please do not let him go anywhere!!
I agree with you Alberti is wonderful to watch. I like him with the girl with short dark hair (can’t think of her name now). Love David, too. I enjoyh hearing about a hosts experiences.
I love Alberti I love his genuine attributes, he and Rick my two top faves
Love Leah and Carolyn. Mary is good too. Gary Goldman has class. I really like them all.
OMG,
With all that is happening in the world, I am surprised you can possibly think this garbage you write about is important. I bet there are people you work with or know you who think the same crap about you. These people all have different personalities. I will agree you will like some more than others but, keep your opinions to yourself. Spend your money or don’t. You must be watching because you have no other hobbies or friends to keep you amused. Get a life and do something else. Go to the library and get a book to read so you may improve your mind instead of picking on hosts who have no way to address you back. Get a life.
I just read your nasty comments to “people” who have made THEIR comments regarding some of the QVC Hosts, negative or positive? People are people…you have NO right to put people down soo harshly! Shame on you!!! What a small person YOU are!!! Take your OWN advice Maryann….grow up!
I agree, some hosts annoy me too. But they are human and this is their job. QVC will do what they do. I don’t like Rick all the time. He gets too loud and he is overwhelming. But guess what, if he sells a lot of products during his time on air, that’s what QVC wants. They are salespeople. That’s what they have to do, sell sell sell!
Agree. Rick is the kind of high pressure salesman that makes me walk right out of the store.
Perfection. Very easy to just go to a different channel. In case you grew up in a cave in Siberia, look at your tv remote, take your fingers and CHANGE the channel. No one likes everything or everybody including liking or disliking you.
I agree, change the channel. I quit watching when they let Paula Deen be fired. I am from the South but after cooling down after a couple of months, I went back to QVC and watch it. The only thing I don’t like is the constant wine drinking. And thanks to them I now watch JTV for purchasing Paula Deen Jewelry.
All that really matters to the bean counters these days is whether or a host is motivated, prepared – and effective in connecting with the viewers – and he comes across as scoring high in all 3 critical areas!
As cold as it may sound, anything beyond that is essentially irrelevant; this is a business and a host’s job is to compellingly and successfully push the products they have been directed to sell. That’s how he and the other QVC hosts will keep their jobs!
Alberti is truly a breath of fresh air. He makes tv shopping an absolute delight! His warmth, style n fireworks smile cheers me up esp during this pandemic. We need someone to cheer us n bring on the positive warmth.
I love David Venable too. What a super great human. When he smiles, so does his kind eyes along with him. We’re blessed to have both hosts. They are God’s cheerful daily smiles for all of us!
I’ve always liked Alberti. He’s kinda irresistible. I would love to be that upbeat and positive. He seems natural at it.
Took a while to get used to the energy and now we love him!!! Always a smile with laughter!!!
I can’t stand him. I am so sick of him playing with the food.
LOL
I agree
OMG, finally someone who agrees with me. I want to know what happens to the popcorn after he gets done touching it, smelling it, and dipping his hands into it?
I think Rachel may be the absolute worst when it comes to the gourmet food shows. And how about the prices at a time when people across this country are struggling just to keep their heads above water due to Covid.
My goodness, don’t blame ABC or the hosts for high food costs. Now, I’ve heard everything. Look to your government lady!
He’s not “playing” with the food, he’s giving the viewers ALL the attributes of the product, like any good salesperson should. STOP being hateful!
Rick is my least favorite. Very annoying with his actions. I do like Alberti and all the others who do a great product presentation.
LOVE ALBERTI RICK IS A HAS BEEN – TIME FOR HIM TO GO
He is my favorite host on QVC. He makes every item exciting with his entertaining style!
I love Alberti!! Much needed for QVC. He has a funny and genuine personality.
Sorry ABC hosts… Do u know if Albert is married?
I’m over the tights or leggings already. Alberti, please put some pants on! It’s exhausting.
I get it, but it really is enough. I don’t care how much you paid or which designer, just please, please, please!
His tight pants reveal alot. His bf is a lucky guy!
Alberti is a wonderful host for QVC. He is so delightful & entertaining. He makes you feel good watching his enthusiasm for life. He’s a kind gentle genuine young man. A true asset he is for QVC.
.
I’m 87. I think Alberti is absolutely adorable. He brings such enthusiasm & energy to anything he sells. I just love the way he seems to enjoy the food. I would love having him for a grandson
Gloria, awesome! Maybe you can hire him to cut your grass and do your errands.
You’re a hateful troll!
Uta, I think that was an uncalled for nasty comment to an elderly person who was just saying how she felt.
That was uncalled for!
You are hateful
Agree one of the best hosts
I love Alberti no matter what he is selling. So refreshing. He and Carolina make Saturday Morning Q so much fun. Alberti makes every product seem so special. He is a calmer version of my FAVORITE Rick.
I’m 67 and I just want to sit down and drink wine with Alberti. I know I would love him in person. Throw together a game night and he’d be a BFF! Don’t ever change Alberti, just love your funny personality!
He is 42.
my fav host! Though I’ve never met him, I feel we would be great friends.
OMG, he is on right now…Friday 1/18/18 8:20 PM
From childhood crush to adult lust, keep making it pop mr Popaj.
From childhood crush to adult lust, he just keeps doing it for me. Keep making it pop Mr Popaj. <3
Now Alberti is eating the food! Yuck, it is so gross and infuriating.
Diana, you are right! Not to mention Alberti’s sound effects when he’s tasting the food mmm mmmm mmm…So annoying!
I can see why he is so popular. He is just adorable!
I watch QVC all the time but never see Alberti any more
Good for you. I wish they would take him off completely. Put him in an office or something. He needs to wear pants and not tights. I’m glad where I’m from, men wear pants, not tights. Tights are made for girls or at least they are in the South.
