I know Jennie Garth from the 90s 90210 days. That was her claim to fame. She was married 3x. Has 3 children. Her 2nd marriage was to Twilight star Peter Facinelli and has 3 children with him. I wonder if he cheated because I think she took the divorce pretty bad and has a bitter edge about her ever since. She also has a few tattoos.
@ParadeofRoses I live in California, Northern to be specific just south of San Francisco and yes California is beautiful by the beach and mountains, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Sonoma, the wineries. I have been from top to bottom and sideways.
It also is full of drugs, illegals, homelessness and crime.
Jennie Garth only sees Malibu, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, etc. she is out of touch with real life.
Just like Kim Gravel, JCONN, Skunky.
Jennie Garth has no idea about fabrics, textiles, she didn’t go to FIT. She would slap her name on anything.
Shannen certainly had her number!
ODG, the Belle TSV is pants with faux leather in the front and ponte in the back, and I’m supposed to believe they’re très chic. Or in Belle-speak, traaaaay sheeeek.
Yesterday we suffered through Kim’s story about how she and her husband share One soda when eating out and her boys share One soda as well. We are supposed to identify with her “cheap” family stories while she practicality Owns QVC or at least a big chunk of on-air time. Give me a break.
I’ve purchased 3 Kim Gravel items and returned all of them. After the 3rd $6.95 charge, I’m not interested anymore. What do they say? “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, and I’m an idiot”
For all of Mary Beth’s quirks, she is able to work a long shift solo. And she doesn’t usually interrupt the OAP. She actually listens to the answers to the questions she asks. I find her rather relaxing to watch.
Same here but I’m in metro LA. I love to check out books at the central library in downtown LA because I find all kinds of books to read that you can’t find at other libraries - but I never go alone. My husband or one of my teenage sons comes along because of all the unpredictable people IN the library. I love NorCal and spend a lot of time there. My daughter lives in Berkeley and works in SF. Both incredibly beautiful cities but ravaged with unsavory problems. These realities Jennie Garth is shielded from.
My older son is going to FIT in spring 2025. I pray he gets an education and degree that is meaningful because all these celebrities just slap their names on designs and take the all credit and money for it.
I had read that Mary Beth and Rick were responsible for training hosts in other countries and I understand why. They remain engaged with the presenters and ask questions but are clearly prepared with product knowledge.
I can’t imagine what the TSV will look like after the first machine washing.
MCMisili demonstrating a silicone muffin pan and sharing with us an assortment of ideas regarding what you can make in them, besides muffins. Mary Beth chimes in and informs us that you can also make your own homemade Play-Doh, and it won’t stick in the silicone pan!
WoweeWowWowWow!
And … Two of MBeth’s favorite words (actually three) … Super Duper and Dynamite!
I am surprised that a butter churn is being sold on the Q. I used to have my kindergarten students make butter using baby food jars, and we had a lot of fun. I don’t see an actual hand crank churn being an item that would earn shelf space in my pantry. I wonder if there is really a market for this. I can think of dozens of other ways to spend my money.
Just a theory, but I think the Q uses the Diva sidekick role to test how viewers react to new hosts and determine which of the newbies to keep on air and/or give them more on air exposure.
God knows why, but ITKWD has the largest audience of the Q shows. If you do well as sidekick and viewers take a liking to you, you’ll get more hosting opportunities and more exposure on the main channel. I’ve noticed that new hosts who don’t fill the sidekick role tend to be relegated to Q2 or Q3 slots.
I didn’t start watching the Q until around 2000 or so. I got a strong impression that viewers have love David since day one. Always meticulously groomed and well dressed whether in a suit and tie or an apron, shirt, and slacks/jeans. Being from the south, his folksy style is appealing to the masses. And he loved to cook and share his recipes. It was DAVID’S show, way back when, but now it’s just another hostile QRate takeover.
Is it really a mystery that David is missing his sparkle and shine lately? And I am betting that he IS counting the days until retirement.
