Babestation - General Chat & Discussion

hopefully lolly and daryl having some time off over the next few weeks will give the babestation babes that are criminally underused like louise porter the screentime they should be getting instead of being blocked by the usual suspects (lolly, lori, preeti, priya, tiff and camilla)

quite right with saying bs should keep the babes who are bringing in the most calls on screen the most, but to have them on the beds for stints of 2-3 hours is ridiculous and denies the other bs babes chance to bring in the calls and get better as a babeshow babe

By getting better at their job, improving their skills, attracting casual viewers and making the most of their opportunities. The twins are another perfect example - when they joined they were stuck in the slot of getting 30mins here and 1 hour there, being stuck on a bed with other girls but they made the most of the opportunities they were given, they got a lot better at their job, developed a following and improved their call numbers to the point where Babestation producers were forced to take notice and give them a bigger role. Very few girls are lucky enough to become popular overnight, it tends to take time and effort

I don't think this is an argument anyone will win as it is down to points of view.
However, Lolly was taken on because she was one of, if not the top UK porn name. She brought a ready fanbase with her simply by becoming accessible to thousands who previously had been unable to talk to her. Great if you like porn stars but a lot do not. Lori has undoubtedly built up a big fanbase-it was only 18 months ago that there were only a few of us still supporting her. Now she is one of the biggest stars on BS. The twins though-not sure that is down to working harder or getting better at their job than any other. More down to BS wanting to tap into the massive Asian market.

I know Lolly had a fanbase from her porn days but she had to work hard to build that fanbase - lots of girls do porn and some appear on these channels but few can match her popularity.

Rammy, I know that you are frustrated with how they use Louise but if you were running a channel would you really take your main moneymakers off screen in favour of girls with unproven popularity. I mean looking across the channels last night, competition was fierce. Elite and RLC both had really strong lineups - would you not want your established names to go up against them?

Using your top babes sparingly is also important. Why would you want them on ALL the time? It would become overkill even for the hardened fans of these babes.
You mention babes with "unproven popularity" What chance do they really stand when they are never going to be given the air time to become proven. Any time I switch on to babestation it is normally 1 of 3 babes, Lori, Lolly or more then likely Geri.

The most any of the girls do is 3 days a week so it is impossible for them to be on all the time and really who watches the channel every night. Depending on work/social plans I would only watch 2 or 3 times per week and when I do I like my favourite girls to be on.
In terms of proving yourself it is like I said Lori had to build up her fanbase over time, Lolly had to build a fanbase (in porn but it still took time and effort) and most girls can if they are prepared to work at it. It is not easy and you will be at times be handed lemons and told to make lemonade but it can be done. Even leaving to get more exposure is not the end of the world as Lori was much more popular when she returned than when she left and if Ella keeps developing the way she has been I can see Babestation trying to get her back in the future.

I'm not arguing that. I've never criticised the calibre of the girls, past or present.

Exactly, which means customer satisfaction isn't their highest priority.
Let's face it though, we can all list the things that's wrong with Bs. Bed hogging, OSG's, interruptions, poor quality phone lines, crap shoebox sets (I remember the time when you could have proper role-play calls), etc, but none of these are deal-breakers for calling if the girls are right (although I draw the line at 3-in-a-bed, no matter who they are).
The real reason I don't call anymore, and never will again, is the total rip-off culture at Bs. It oozes out of everything they do, from phones not being logged in when girls are asking for calls, being queue jumped by fake girl callers, kicked off mid call, to being sold 'reveal all' pics, which don't, and promising 'hard core live sex shows' on xtreme featuring Lori, Geri or some other babe you know won't go any further than they do on the normal show.

I'm sorry if I sound bitter but it's only because I am. They've probably had a good £1k off me they weren't entitled to, over the years.

What do we expect? Its the nature of the sex industry. Always has been always will. Promises of jaw dropping content and amazing hardcore on the cover of a porno mag that you don't get. Phone lines that are so tame you just feel embarassed that you fell for it. Pics that promise everything and reveal nothing. DVD covers that bear no resemblance to the content inside and those cards in phone boxes that promise a 21yr old blonde stunner who probably isn't. And I keep falling for it like any other mug.

I can't really argue with your general point but that quote was aimed solely at Bs.

I just called Ella on RLC. The first 2 attempts I didn't get straight through and hung up straight away. That cost me £1.50 each time, it would have been £5 each time on Bs. Got through on the 3rd attempt and had a great call. I didn't have to spend ages flicking channels to see where (or if) she was going to pop up or play hunt the babe among the OSG's, no tele-sales girl was butting in, no girl caller queue-jumped in front of me and no other babe gatecrashed our party, pushing her to the side of the bed (or table, as it happened)

Oh, yeah, and it was a proper set as well

Yeah ive had the same experience i had totally given up calling the shows after the shoddy service BS gave me but now call both Elite and RLC not in the volume of calls i did but now and again

Phoned three times tonight and got disconnected on two of the calls for no apparent reason . I wouldn't mind but it wasn't even as if I got timed out .
Rather hacked off but at the same time not unduly surprised .
