It doesn't keep happening to another channel though

yes it doesn't keep happening to another channel as much as s66, but still think when it does happen to another channel, they don't get as much flack as when it happens on s66

Hence therefore it deserves the flak it gets compared to other channels.

it is because studio 66 was known as elite and set themselves high standards in the past and that is why everyone has giving them flak for the past year or so

Correct, the other channels don't get as much flak for last-minute cry-offs as S66 gets and deservedly so on two counts, firstly because they don't suffer as many of them anyway but also, secondly, because they've shown repeatedly they deal far better with situations like this when they do crop up.

Babestation know that Beth's their most likely and willing call-up to be a late stand-in but they've others who'll rescue them at short notice as well.

Even Storm had no problem a few weeks ago when drafting Penny into a Thursday night at just a few hours' notice.

No-one in the S66 roster has ever become as obviously useful (and extremely valuable) a stand-in as Beth by appearing unexpectedly on several occasions in fairly quick succession.

It reinforces my view that the S66 models are only turning up for work without caring about their employers whereas the models at other channels enjoy their work enough to help their employers out when necessary.

Picture the scene - it's mid-afternoon and a few of the models have met up for lunch when a couple of their phones receive a call or text.

One of them sees it's a Babestation number contacting her, enthusiastically answers it and agrees she's available to cover that night's sudden vacancy.

The other one sees it's S66 contacting her but can't even be bothered to answer it because its bound to be yet another gap in the schedule and she really doesn't want to spend more time in that dump than she needs to.

Meanwhile, in a happy workplace, there's also nothing to stop a model who'd suddenly prefer not to do a shift ringing round her colleagues to sound out who might be able to cover her (or swap shifts with her) so that she can call the boss having solved the problem before the boss even knew it existed.

I doubt that happens at S66 where the models' attitude at the slightest hint of feeling poorly or wanting to be elsewhere is simply to cry-off and let the boss sort it out (which, overwhelmingly judging by recent evidence, amounts to hardly sorting it out at all).

The staff blatantly failing to rally round absent colleagues is one of the most glaring signs any business (not just a babe channel) is dreadfully on the skids, providing you're not wearing such massively rose-tinted glasses that you put hopelessly desperate optimism for S66 ahead of the actual business reality.

They created a problem for themselves in so clearly delineating their three products into seperate channels (i.e 2 x UK, 1 x US and 1 X Golden Girls). Whereas other channels will have girls cry off, its much easier for them to just grab one more girl. Can't do that with the seperate channels so S66 cry offs just look so damned obvious. Somebody mentioned that girls like Beth (for BS) and Rachel Taylor (for RLC) are pretty flexible but if they worked for S66 they could only be cover for 2 out of 4 channels.

Seperating the US channel is an error; they are working to the same levels as UK girls (so not like BS South Africa and Germany (is that still going??)) so pool it and simply use an on screen caption to point out its a US porn star. Put them in the mix then you have less of an issue with absences.

On a similar point, and getting on a bit myself, I do like the fact that the Golden Girls always show up and its the youngsters that are the flakes. "

"Kids today, don't know they're born, I used to work 16 hours down t'pit and still talk filth for 5 hours, course not everyone liked the helmet........."

They're amateurish approach is seen by all and nobody can take this channel seriously.
It's hardly surprising the girls let them down because they won't respect them, for the same reasons we don't as I've already mentioned.

Babestation24 (Germany) is still going, and I think SA is too, on Friday nights.

Rammy do Studio 66 producers keep sending you the text to keep posting in this thread? It's absolute crap - and I think you know most of it is - that's why it's so frustrating for us that you keep coming in here and defending the indefensible.

It must be great for them though to know that every time the shit hits the fan with this channel, they've got their number one spokesperson to deflect the flak. Get real mate, it's pointless. Still, don't stop on my account. Your drivel is providing endless hours of quality reading - the type that has made this thread a serious contender for thread of the year.

Oh the irony if that happens....
