I am getting so sick of so many of Lisa R's expressions that the few times I've watched her lately I've used the mute button. After I do that, "it's all good."

One more saying "It makes you look like you lost 5lbs and that is always good"

"Insanely Popular" is another of her over used expressions.

Yes, she overuses that. And when you think about it, that's not even appropriate for a salesperson to say. "Insanely popular" - so it's nuts that so many people are buying the product? Not a good message!

The other words that drive me crazy from all the hosts are "Oh, and by the way".
Somebody please give these people a Thesaurus!!!!!

It drives me crazy when every other word she uses to describe clothing is "little." As in: "You can wear it with a cute little white t-shirt and some cute little sandals, and your cute little capris." What if you've got a big 'ole ass? I swear, she uses this word 50 times to describe one item!
Oh I couldn't agree more with all of you!!!
"You are soooooo kind" buh byyyyeeeee (tilting head into camera, waving with this goofy.... I'm to good for you smile!!)

I'm sick of hearing her say, "This is so Jackie O. or Audrey Hepburn."

I agree with everyone who has posted previously. We have been hearing the same lines for all the years she has been on QVC. You would think she would have an original thought, at least once in a while.

ITA with all of you too. Plus if what she was describing really looked liked Madison Ave or anything remotely NYC it would be easier to take lol. It's like Jeanne Bice from Quacker Factory saying her stuff looks like Palm Beach or Boca Raton - it just doesn't.

LOL! Just once I'd like to hear her say what she's really thinking, "I sooooo agree with you!"

I was watching Lisa do a fashion show recently and she was telling a caller about her bad hair day and how she had put on a few pounds and nothing looked good on her and the caller listened patiently and then said, "There goes Lisa fishing for compliments." The look on Lisa's face was priceless. It was something she was never expecting and I just about fell off the sofa because it was exactly what she was doing - fishing for a compliment. "Oh, I'm so ugly. Tell me how beautiful I am. Oh, I would look terrible in this outfit. Tell me how I look good in everything." She puts herself down just so people will tell her how wonderful she is. It really annoys me.

I caught a glimpse of Lisa R. late Wednesday night. She had on (what else) cream-colored crop pants, and she looked TERRIBLE in them. They really made her legs look stubby, IMO.

I have to agree with you guys. I think the one phrase that bugs me the most is after a caller tells her she is beautiful or their favorite host and she so insincerely replies "your sooooo kind". Gag me......she is so full of herself. Why can't she just say thank you? I have watched the Q since 1987 and I remember when she first came to the Q, I didn't care for her. She just seems too phony. I realize they are probably pressured to sell, sell, sell but at least Mary Beth does it with some class.

At one point Lisa R was my favorite host but now her gig is stale!! She annoys the *hit out of me and I can't even watch her anymore.

Gosh, why do I always miss the good stuff? I wish I had seen that one. Thanks for posting Iniseire :)
She is paid to sell merchandise. What do you expect her to say?

She should quit talking about herself and talk about the merchandise and how it fits on the models. That, and get some new descriptive terms. At least Sheila is more entertaining because you never know what she'll say.

that is so much more tactful than calling her a loose cannon!
as for "so Madison Avenue"
there are plenty of people who, while loving fashion and makeup, don't really give a fat rat's behind about an item being "so Madison Avenue", at least not enough to make it worth buying it
i'm tired of hearing the same old stuff; i would rather watch the Princess Diaries 2 for the umpteenth time--and i do
at least i can watch Fat Louie, Maurice, Sandy, and the unnamed hen....
