The QVC Task

I actually was surprised that Carson's team didn't win that. I don't see how Brooke Burke appeals to most women who watch QVC. I'm out of shape and I wouldn't buy a product merely because Brooke Burke says how great it is. I'm not an idiot. She is a woman who clearly invests a lot of her time and money in eating well, working out, and getting work done. How does that appeal to say a middle aged woman in the midwest? I think Boy George's overweight story had more appeal.

The only thing I could think of is that Brooke's team had their own friends and family call to order the product especially since the product was expensive and not even ready to ship.

That whole task seemed off.

I think Carson's product really sucked. It comes down to the product imo. Plus while George's story was good, it wasn't that product that lost him the weight and not only that, but he didn't have a chance to really go into the story that much and he looks sort of slobbish. Whereas Brooke had a cool product and her and Laila looked like it was using their muscles for real.

@lazygafiltafish ...I wouldn't buy a product merely because Brooke Burke says how great it is.
Ever heard of celebrity endorsements? It must work on someone.

You have to be a big enough celebrity though. I don't even know what Brooke Burke is famous for.
