So now we know. Anyone who thinks that Ch 33 is going to loosen up is doomed to disappointment. That has to be the most boring night so far. Even the presence of the magnificent Toya couldn’t save it.
Is it my imagination, or is it a fact that when there’s a ‘no-tits-out’ girl on the show, all the others are told to tone down their act?
Amanda put in the most subdued performance I’ve ever seen from her. Evidently her final section on the previous night wasn’t to the bosses’ liking. I’m surprised that she allows herself to be part of this rubbish. While doing her text message voice-over she promised her tits would be out almost as soon as she got back on the bed. This clearly didn’t please the bosses because she started her next section wearing a bra which, by her normal standards, could almost double as a flak jacket and kept it on for 25 minutes.
Maybe she’s been drawn into the disgraceful hyping up of expectation that we’re being bombarded with. In response to the inevitable demands for Toya to get her tits out, which we all know isn’t going to happen, we were constantly fed with comments like ‘Be patient’, ‘Wait and see’, ’Never say never’ etc etc.
[Camilla suffered a similar fate to Amanda a few nights back. During her last message voice-over a few minutes before 5am she promised a Freeview texter that she would kiss Tara when she got onto the bed to change over. We know from the girls’ comments that the producers don’t like this on Freeview and, sure enough, what happened was that when she had finished her piece she was kept standing and talking on the mike, obviously having been told to keep ‘padding’ until the Freeview switch-off. So the poor guy never got to see his kiss, if it ever happened. When I asked her about this in her thread she didn’t reply. I think that tells us enough – she wouldn’t want to lie and wouldn’t be able to tell the truth without getting into bother.]
During her next voice-over Amanda promised some ‘girl-on-girl action’. Girl-on-girl??? This turned out to be Megan and Toya, side-by-side, fully clothed, face-down on the bed. After Freeview closed down I logged into TVAlways where - surprise, surprise - there was a little proper, if rather tame, girl/girl stuff from Megan and Jodie.
CELLCAST (IF YOU’RE READING THIS): YOU’RE BEING FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!
While on the subject of TVAlways, why do I have to put up with the continual picture freezes and the need to refresh it every 3 minutes???
Lastly, my final (I hope) comment on graphics:
shandyman Wrote:PP runs until 9pm on sky, with the same graphics from when it starts at 3am.
the pink box tends to be on the sky feed til about midnight, its the only difference between what i saw at 9.51 and the screenshot from thewatcher, just to the left of the text box, just a pink block taking up the rest of the left of the screen.
Apologies – I didn’t know PP was on Sky, I thought it was Freeview only.
I got out my tape measure and the largest PP graphics box is, well, almost as big as on Freeview. (Now I know where the 5mm came from, but I’m not going to start a silly argument about millimetres.) I was really talking about the comparative situations which apply for most of the time on the two channels. Freeview has the large box almost all the time, whereas PP has it only occasionally. Most of the time PP has just the phone numbers side-by-side at the bottom of the screen. I’d be happy if
BS1* did this. Even just putting the phone numbers alongside each other in the same size font as the present mobile number and at the same level (and thereby cutting out that huge number almost in the middle of the screen) would be an improvement. Tucking the 3G box further into the corner and stretching the text block into the area apparently occupied by a pink box on Sky (and therefore clearly regarded as redundant) would free up more space for the required info.
