Shopping channel snark

Looks like all the fun people have fled the tyranny of the other board and come here. I’ve been reading and posting on the Celebrity Apprentice forum over there and what gets me is, the snarking we were repeatedly sanctioned for, was nothing compared to the venomous comments–some made by MODS–directed against the likes of Brandi Granville, Kate Gosselin and Geraldo Rivera–who has even had death wished upon him, lol. There’s some argumentative posters over there being given free reign too, whereas we all tried to get along.

I suppose it’s the difference between the administrators liking a particular show and not liking it and thinking everybody who does like it must be losers. Also, there are no ass-kissing biddies like the Q hags pushing the report button because their darling Celebrity Apprentice version of Yum-Yum was insulted.

ACK! I keep having to edit my posts because of typing errors. That’s because I’m supposed to be doing housework right now. :frowning:

Friedbaloney, I laughed over “Q hags.” I think that’s what I look like first thing in the morning :slight_smile:

Welcome! You’re going to like it here. Pass the word along. The more the merrier. :slight_smile:

Me too. My latest post is mostly product review with a little “me too” snark.

Since Mary Beth hit menopause her boobage/shoulder area has seemed swollen out of proportion to the rest of her body. I’m not normally a fan of a poncho…especially the TSV with that fringe…but it actually looks pretty good on her in the gray with the black pants. Usually she’s wearing some tight, form fitting top that just makes her look like she’s been blown up on top.

Add one in every color to your wardrobe, Mary Beth.

MBR wearing shoe boots with pants puddling on the Linea show. Couldn’t someone have fixed that for her? Hah – she just commented on it!

What in the world happened over there today? The mods put a note in the middle of the page telling people they could report posts and personal messages, and the mods promised they wouldn’t tell. (Duh – when would a mod ever tell someone the name of the person who reported them?) I didn’t see anybody arguing, so I’m mystified. It seems like the mods over there want to rattle our cages every few days. They didn’t notice some of us already opened the cage doors and ran away.

Maybe some secret fan of Shawnie Sue objected to the posting of her FB page picture in her I-Don’t-Care-What-I-Look-Like photo. She wore a T-shirt, faded indigo denim jeans jacket, turquoise and white print pajama pants, and brown Ugg boots. No makeup, hair in her eyes, mouth wide open in a goofy expression. She said she didn’t care about her outfit because she was just going out to run errands. She looked like warmed-over shit. Umm… and this is the host who was given the PM Style show!

Now that attitude of Shawn was heresy, according to the QVC fashion shows dogma. One of the sales pitches the hosts use is that you can wear this or that outfit to run errands, so you’ll look good. Like all those times when you go pumpkin picking.

There’s a post that’s still over there now from a troll who’s made at least 2 other posts (right now his profile says he has 3 posts in total and registered in August) and they’ve all been pretty sexual in nature about the female hosts. Even though his previous ones were deleted I saw them because I’m subscribed to that thread and get emails that contain each new post. So many others have been banned without warning for so much less and this guy gets to stay and keep making posts that would have gotten anyone else banned the first time.

Yes – troll “Bob” had a post there again about a female host, which has since been removed, so I’m assuming that’s the one the mod’s were referring to in their latest scolding.

The former host we all used to love is still posting selfies on her Facebook page. Sad, really. Still no hint as to her next profession.

I was just now on my treadmill which is in front of a TV with (gasp!) no cable, just OTA channels. A few of which get hinky from the treadmill motor’s frequency. With limited options I flipped to the Ho and the Q. Snoozefests! On HSN Bill whosit and that younger guy were peddling air purifiers like we’re all about to die from breathing pet dander; hate to say it but they weren’t all that snarkworthy. Dammit. At the Q, Rick was seated at a table with Her Grace the Countess of Ripoff, presenting overpriced costume baubles in damn near hushed and reverent tones. Her Grace’s face looks very well preserved. As in pickled. Lord, it was torture to watch even a minute or two of that pretentious twaddle.

(People, really. If I’m going to spend in the upper three figures or four figures for any jewelry? It’s going to be the real thing, and not from shysters on TV.)

Thank goodness I had a few options, and did most of my mileage with a rip-roaring shoot-em-up dash-cam show on The Justice Network. Well, when I wasn’t reading a few pages of my book.

Oh, darn. My edit window passed and I realized I meant to say up there in my recent post ^^^ that Rick and Ripoff were “presenting obscenely overpriced consume baubles in damn near hushed and reverent tones.” Which better expresses my loathing for Ripoff as a TV salesperson and my inability to understand how anyone would pay huge sums for her costume baubles. Apparently, even people who know that “faux” is a fancy word for “fake” happily snap up her cr*p creations. :confused:

I’m sure that plenty of intelligent, sane, pleasant people, whom I would like a lot if I met them, buy her stuff. But it’s all a mystery to me.

The Venerable one is on QVCPlus today. He’s being a glutton as usual. All the same OAPs and products. Yawn.

Just clicked over only to hear Shawn say she wants to have a segment of the new PMSTYLE show for “inspirational” jewelry. I know some of you will LOVE that!! LOL Hopefully Shawn won’t go all maudlin on us.

It peeves me off that they picked Shawn to host PM Style. They showed us when it came to thinking their choice for a new host might actually be a decent one that wasn’t a PITA to watch. Shawn draws so many in with that inspirational and religious stuff they her fans have seemingly flocked to her like sheep for the most part.

I so want to write her and say that I hope she has an ENT for her nasal and etc. issues and that if she does then she might want to look for a new one because obviously the current one isn’t getting the job done.

I wonder if that planet and star crap between her and Issac cemented the Q’s decision?

Check out Lisa’s Pinterest page! She has posted 15 pairs of her shoes that are easily worth $10k! Several pairs of Louboutin’s, Manolo’s, Givenchy. She must have made an effing fortune working at the Q! Now I suppose she will have to shop at Payless!

I saw her pages on both Pintrist and Facebook, and can’t believe what a nasty show off she is. And if you think those shoes are only worth $10,000, think again. One pair of Loubitans can run $1200 alone. And then she shows the little thing she purchased to keep all her face products together. Did she go to Bed, Bath and Beyond to find a nice little container? Hell no. She has to go out and buy a Louis Vuitton make up holder, and then selfie it to brag. But what I can’t understand are all the women who worship at the altar of St Lisa. Don’t they get that she doesn’t give a shit about any of them? She just needs them for their adoration.

Can you shoot me a couple of links? I really want to see those. :mad:

I saw the makeup case. I’m so out of it, I wouldn’t have known it was a Louis Vuitton! So Lisa was not impressing me …

Love this! Hard to believe she is so crazy but obviously is. And so are they!

Really, who in their right mind would do this?

And, what’s the big deal about having a container on your vanity to hold stuff it’s like she’s the first one to ever think of this. It’s disgusting. Wonder how long she keep them interested. She finally admitted that she has a non compete clause, but didn’t say for how long (one year). She’s still on Q’s payroll until March (since she did not quit, and she’s still under contract), and has a year after that to keep her fans entertained. Tough task, if you ask me.
