Gem Shopping Network review: hosts 9

I do agree, but only to a point. I think they are trying to get the audience excited. Hunter i one of my fav. hosts. I remember well his first day on the show.
He was gentlemanly, kind, and especially kind to those who take the calls. As times have changed, he does seem to be getting louder. I find the elder men (who are always the "second in command" to have the knowledge and the kindness that they all should have. I also like Kurt. He is filled with knowledge. I used to watch him just to learn. That was great. Now it seems they have to RUSH, RUSH, RUSH.. to move along...and everything is "being sent away on that night"...THEN it then appears on the show the next day and for many, many days later. I don't like that. You often see the same jewelry over and over and hopefully you remember the last price it was announced. It is frustratinng.

It's not a sporting event. I would go to a brick and mortar store and like or tolerate the staff following me through the isles yelling and screaming because in their tiny minds they think it will make me toss more merchandise into my cart. It's rude and obnoxious. Kurt, Hunter and Marvin are the biggest windbags at GSN.

Ok I completely agree with the hosts yelling it’s so annoying and Kurt omg he’s the worst like seriously he doesn’t even describe half the items all he does is goof off and talk about useless crap to the people around him. And oh oh what is with him having to repeat everything he says 3 times always seriously just Listen to him. “ 2.47 carats in the Diamonds, 2.47 carats in the diamonds, 2.47 carats in the diamonds. Folks that’s crazy OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH” like seriously is it like a tick or some neurological issue. And then now you got this model Sophia who constantly talks over the hosts and try’s to but in and be the host. Be seen not heard Sophia. And she never keeps her hand still when modeling an item. And not to mention if you google her a bunch of distasteful, classless, partially nude photos surface. Like really that’s who’s modeling for your company. Not a good look gemshopping network. Oh and pearl with her uneducated speech is always talking crap in the background. A few days ago a woman decided against an item and then changed her mind and called back but it had sold already and instead of saying “sorry let me find you another item similar” she yells “oh well that’s her loss not ours” like really get some professional people working for your company. Your selling the absolute highest quality jewelry on the planet and you’ve got people like this on your pay roll. Come on get some classy people your selling the best so get the best. All the hosts should be like Wess, Sky, and Jason. And maybe hire at least one woman to host. Oh and Kurt stop laughing your annoying.

Wow, I totally agree. Way too much yelling, its more like a BARNYARD AUCTION than high end jewelery show. When I change channels I immediately have to turn DOWN SOUND. So annoying. Its embarassing. If they think they have to inject excitement then they have NO SHOW, NO MERCHANDISE NOTHING. I have been tempted to buy but the hosts bug me way too much!

Daniel's Southern Cali Dude Bro Dumb Surfer Guy routine is so out of sync with the items they are selling. He's getting louder by the hour and he says his goal is to break the record of selling the most items per show and he does NOT like doing overnights any more because he's too good: He only wants to do primetime as they are paid on sales and during those peak viewing hours each item sold receives a higher dollar amount by the hosts, not the sales persons doing the actual work. His ego is staggering. He rushes to take his glasses off and fix his boufanted hairdo when the camera comes back to him!
He went on a tirade the other night because Bryan tried on a ring that Daniel insisted was a ladie's ring only. That was cringeworthy indeed. He made a nasty veiled comment to poor Bryan about not being able to tell if he was a real man or not. Ugh. Bryan brushed it off like the pro he is. Daniel said $20, 000 is cheap for a weekend stay in The Hamptons and Bryan said he could afford one of the women there a bracelet she liked then. Once again, Daniel was NOT happy, hahah!
After being a jerk to Marvin, he could barely contain his anger at Marvin a few weeks ago when he asked Daniel if he speaks (rudely) like that to his wife. One of the models audibly gasped! Daniel does not wear a wedding ring and fiercely guards his personal life. Imagine when the model found out that the man she's been playing footsie with under the table all these months is married!

I want to see fine, hand-crafted pieces of jewelry, not watch Daniel's over-inflated ego and disturbing mood swings!

Wanted to also mention during the same show with so called "ladies ring" that Bryan tried on, an hour or so later, the vendor told Daniel to try on a size 8 pink sapphire ring on his pinky finger. He said he doesn't have anything to do with the call center or the customers to sell to and said OkeeDokee in a long drawn out sarcastic way, boy was he mad! I swear it wasn't me that called in to make him try on that ring! I'm not the only one that doesn't appreciate a vulgarian selling Chopard and David Webb.
Have you heard him say, "Okay, let's go back in the Living Roomzies and talk, folks." I feel so creeped out when he says that, like I need a shower or something...

Daniel is ridiculous. Cannot speak like an adult, but speaks like a trying to be cool high school kid. Every other word is "over here", "over there", "check it out folks". "Take a stare" WTH? He thinks he is all that. He is juvenile. Then there's screaming Marvin, "OH MY GOODNESSSSSS". Should be doing hog auctions. Finally, Kurt. Lord he thinks no one knows as much about jewelry as he and repeats everything at least 3 times. Can't stand them.

Mike is sweet and so is Deanna. Sky is very professional but he gets loud sometimes. It would be a much better show if most of them would talk in a normal voice. And tell Daniel to loose the surfer dude routine, right here.

I'm not surprised to see so many comments about all the host that are constantly yelling. The worst in my opinion is Daniel. Also he appears to want to show his face more than the jewelry requested. His slang is very irritating to listen to for an entire show. Put him on with someone with common sense. He needs to just show merchandise not constantly say "Get a look at this", "take a stare at this", "look over here folks","look over there". What does he think we are looking at while sitting in front of the TV with GSN on? Not Daniels face ! He does everything he can to make sure his face gets more screen time than the jewelry. You can tell he's impressed with himself,not the merchandise.Why doesn't he take a class and learn to speak the English language correctly? Why hasn't the person signing his check noticed he needs help with speaking correctly? Constantly he says "FUR", when he should say "For". That's most irritating to hear for the entire show. And his "Just yell sold folks, just yell sold" line is obnoxious. Along with all the many other errors mentioned in post by other listeners. He would never be able to get a passing grade in a Junior High School Public Speaking Class. His English is so bad we mute the TV when children are in the room. You are selling high quality merchandise. You should be able to afford high quality people for on air host to represent GSN. or send Daniel back to school for personal improvement before he's back on air.
