Sorry, folks, but let's get real here. Michelle host remotely?? Have you forgotten what station this is?
ShopLC has got to be the most backward, sexist shopping channel available in my area. First, I can think of only two instances where 2 "teams" of the same gender work on air together: Becky + __fill in the blank__, or most recently Shawn and Dan-in-FL. Everyone else has a female who does all of the product description, modeling, demonstration, etc and the male is supposedly in charge of the financial side, dropping prices. His female co-host, meanwhile, gasps, at his boldness and taking charge.
The only way Michelle could co-host remotely would be if she was treated equally to her male counterparts. And as someone already mentioned, who would handle the jewelry demonstrations? Surely no man could be demoted to that level. He is too busy with the $$. And Lord knows SLC is too cheap to hire a 3rd person. They won't even invest in manicure and hair styling -- even though hands, ears/faces, and necks effectively become display props.
Sorry for the rant, but this woman knows sexism and stereotypes when she sees them. I have more jewelry than I can justify. They want to sell to me - basically, a female audience. But I doubt they would treat us as professional peers. I've had enough. After Michelle leaves, so do I. -- and good luck to Cheryl Els!
