I have watched QVC for many years. When Lisa Robinson was a host, I was heartbroken when she left to pursue other adventures. When Courtney came aboard, I felt she had picked up and fill the position, that Lisa had left. She was very pretty, presented the clothing with a striking appearance, like Lisa, and she was just what QVC needed. I wish her all the success in her future. ❤️

I like Courtney and her grace on air. What I don’t appreciate or like are the hosts and presenters being rude to Courtney. Just recently I watched the older presenter for Breezie’s being very rude to Courtney. I know I will never again buy Beezie products.

Jane needs to retire. But then who would she try to impress? Mary, while in a kitchen setting could you keep your hands off of your nose and hair? In one show, you touched your nose 23 times, while handling food.

Not a fan of Courtney Khondabi to me she seems very conceited and vain. I think her nose job was more than her! Wanting a smaller nose I believe was just the beginning of her putting a lot of emphasis on her appearance. I find her extremely self centered and having it be all about her. Jane is just rude she talks way to much but will cut someone off right away if they are cutting into her air time. I remember several times when she would be talking constantly about nonsense and when someone else would finally say something she would cut them off acting as if they were rushed for time. Jane is vain though and never has been she is just a huge blabber mouth. Courtney, I just don’t like at all.

They list you as being 5’7″ when in fact you are only 5′ 2 1/2″…same height as Amy Stran. You never wear super tall heeled shoes on air!

I do feel the show with Jane can be overwhelming and sometimes a bit rude to the brand representatives. I notice they are cut off short so you and Jane can talk over them. Not respectful. Just my humble opinion.

I agree about Jane & Courtney working together, I’m not a fan. I think it’s more Jane talking over reps, in her attempt to keep Courtney’s attention. I like Courtney…I think she does a great job. I don’t think she and Jane should present together.

I agree. You can’t watch her for two minutes until she starts talking about her daughters. Thant’s when I turn off the channel. Nobody wants to hear all that bragging. Courtney is much better without Jane.

I THINK QVC MANAGEMENT PUT JANE AND COURTNEY TOGETHER SO THAT CUSTOMERS WILL BE ABLE TO TOLERATE JANE BECAUSE COURTNEY IS SOMEWHAT OF A BUFFER BETWEEN JANE AND US. JANE NEEDS A BUFFER AND POOR COURTNEY IS STUCK WITH HER. SHE MUST BE LOW ON THE TOTEM POLE OR SHE DREW THE SHORT STRAW.

Yes. Jane is certainly not a good presenter. How she has remained employed is anybody’s guess!

EVIDENTLY QVC EXECUTIVES DO NOT CARE ENOUGH TO READ CUSTOMERS’ OPINIONS REGARDING JANE AND HOW A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF US CAN’T TOLERATE HER. JANE IS BEYOND RUDE AND THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES THE SOUND OF HER OWN VOICE. EVEN IF I LIKE THE PRODUCT, I CHANGE CHANNEL WHEN SHE IS ON. MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE SAID THE SAME THING. THIS EFFECTS QVC PROFIT MARGIN, CORRECT? WAKE UP QVC EXECS AND OFFER JANE A RETIREMENT PACKAGE SO SHE’LL LEAVE!

Courtney, you need to stop talking over people! That is so rude! It is as if you have to interrupt the person because you feel your input is needed. I am surprised to read in your bio that you worked in news. I also find it distracting you have to read the cards when talking about a product.
I have watched QVC and HSN since they began. Yes, I am 71. I was also a teacher for 40 years. You really need to study up on manners and to study about the products you are going to present. You seem as if you don’t believe in the product you are presenting. Just study, show some enthusiasm, and wait until the other person has stopped talking about the product. You have immense potential but need to learn a lot more!

I think you’re way off regarding Courtney. I think she does a great job. I do not think she talks over the guests. I do however think that Jane Tracy does.

Hello Courtney,
I watch you on QVC…not all the time…only when the time permits me. But I have to say this…you remind me of a sister I lost to cancer. Anyway, good luck and keep doing what you love.
Best regards,

Hello to you Mrs. Khondabi, I have been a huge fan of yours since the very first time I ever laid eyes on you. I personally believe You are one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen. I feel there is a great deal in a person’s biological name or even that of some that are married only for esthetics & comfort. Like khondabi, an interesting name. My biological last name is Peretta. Unfortunatley I have never met or seen the man. I guess another person spent much more time with him than I was ever given the opportunity.
Please don’t think I’m close to a straightjacket but, I feel in my WHOLE BODY that you are a very unique person that might be able to help me in my VERY UNIQUE SITUATIONPattyOct 1, 2020 at 10:28 am
