![]() Don't let the presenters start spoiling it by going down the Bid TV route of shouting at viewers and telling us everything is rare.ġ8 months ago, everything was great. ![]() It's all gone a bit shouty and hard sell since the presenters moved round and Gems had a documentary on ITV last year which probably got them a large number of new customers. 18 months ago, they never used to broadcast in that manner. Gems have always been one of the more professional channels that sell a genuinely good product at a good price. I'm really surprised that Steve Bennett is allowing the presenters to host like that. The current presenters, with the exception of Lynn and Adina, are too shouty, in ya face and going for the hard sell too often by saying everything is rare or the only time you'll see items at that price. One minute she says "I knorrr", "Gor gor gor" - the next, it's "I know" and "Go, go, go".īring back the likes of Scott Worsfold, Jim Brooman, Rae Carpenter and Matt Macnamara - professional, calm, well spoken presenters that talk with knowledge, in a calm manner, telling you all the essential stuff like treatments and carat weights, and more importantly, honesty and integrity. Just the usual "look at the depth of colour" and "you've absolutely got to get this design here".īlonde Vicky is another that is incredibly annoying with her false Geordie accent. Not once have I heard her explain how the stones form underground, how they're mined, what country they're from and why that gemstone is different to a cheaper similar coloured stone. She knows nothing technical about the gemstones. She'll use the same description for a high end, one off, platinum collectors piece with a rare stone as she will with a £10 budget ring with 200 available featuring a common stone like smokey quartz. I think she devalues some of their products with her continual repetition of the same descriptions for everything. My favourite line is "This is a one off opportunity. Her sales pitch is nothing more that repetitive, meaningless waffle - spoken in a far too over-confident manner. She never tells you anything about where the stones were mined, carat weight, grading, treatments - the stuff people actually need and want to know. Everything she sells has the same description "look at the depth of colour", "the light dances out of this", "very unique", "exquisite", "similar in design to those worn by Beyonce". She's the worst presenter I've ever seen. A lot of their best presenters moved to their sister channels Rocks TV, The Lounge or Gem Collector.Īll of the current Gems presenters now are too shouty and hyper.Ĭompletely agree about Cheralene too. ![]() That said, she's one of the better presenters on Gems now. I'm not keen on her - I find her personality to be a bit too "mumsy" and patronising. OMG, now she's singing and waving her arm about.bring out the medication, quick! All this "Oh, I love my job" is exactly what she used to say on TJC before she went over the wall! Please calm down, dear. Methinks the lady doth protest too much! If presenter and crew get on well it becomes obvious by the smooth job they do, we don't need to be constantly told about it - in fact, to me it creates the opposite impression, she probably gets on their nerves (she certainly gets on mine). :talking: Watching Ellis Ward's hour on Gems at the moment - and is it me, or since she left TJC has she become much more 'hyper' not to say almost hysterical this morning? I know all shopping telly presenters can be 'shouty', but she gabbles non-stop (she has just mentioned that the presenter - Hayley - has told her she never stops talking!) - and a lot of it isn't relevant at all to what she's selling! She seems to be trying much too hard to give the impression that the people she is working with are all such a lovey-dovey 'Team' with peace and joy abounding all around.
