The Snookered default nightshow position is one of resignation, despair and condemnation.
But you all knew that already didn't you
.
To be honest I am bored to tears at myself bleating on in relentless cynical negativity like a Demon of Doom
.
Babestation has seemingly gone down the energy and zest road. I am not going to comment on the results of that approach but they have chosen a path.
So S66 has an opportunity to choose a path that is different to the Babestation one
So what can I suggest to S66 in all good faith?
The core strength of the old Elite TV and the best of the Studio 66 rebrand to my mind was intimacy and eroticism. For me S66 needs to reinvigorate some of this feeling.
It enabled Caty Cole to thrill like no other back in time. The pocket rocket with steaminess and sexual tension oozing out of every pore on virtually every set.
Sophia Knight, queen of the outfit and outfit play, teasing and titilating with butter wouldn't melt facial expression allied to body language that just oozed sex.
Lilly Roma - setting a benchmark for standing oiled up nudity with subtle, fluid movement and great use of hands.
And of course the Queen of Eroticism Clare Richards who in times past made squeezing every ounce of jaw dropping sexual tension, body language and facial expression into her own art form.
All four of these became winners of Ultimate Babe with compelling cases to win looking back in hindsight imo. Yes, yes I know, I know. Ultimate Babe may well be deemed with varying levels of significance and credibility by different folk but nonetheless these four at their very best were stellar performers imo.
I look back at the enigma that is Mica Martinez who at her mean and moody, sultry, sensual best was every bit an enticing visual delight especially in the more intimate sets and when using oil. Adele Taylor who was the graceful seductress, Danica Thrall who captured imagination like almost nobody else seemed capable.
The whole feel of stints from all of these babes and more back in time was more alluring, enticing but above all intimate.
That intimacy could emerge from a style of set or from lighting or from body language or camerawork or a combination of these.
It is a lot harder to generate that feeling and stir senses for me at least when everything seems so regimented and orthodox as it is now.
There seems no willingness to think outside the box and really try to stir some sexual tension. Of course it may just be that nobody cares and are only concerned about making as much money as possible while putting in as little effort as possible
. The temptation to believe this across all channels is overwhelming but especially so at S66 imo
.
But I don't want to feel this way
. It saddens me
.
Where has all the magic gone?
S66 can present an alternative to the likes of Atlanta Moreno and one that is just as appealing in a different way. Slow, sensual, erotic, almost peer through a keyhole type feel to things (not literally of course
) you know what I mean though
.
I believe this channel particularly in it's former guise had this core strength.
I just wonder if it can ever recapture some of the old magic.
I live in hope, maybe foolishly but I do anyway
