Never seen this channel so low
I agree with this wholeheartedly.
Clare and Yasmine at their best show some dare and spontaneous imagination which is so painfully lacking elsewhere.
But it has reached the point now where I feel even with those two that they are being restrained and restricted by over cautious production more concerned with preventing opposing channel grassing up.
Every recent attempt at daring material has recently been cut short for Clare and more notably Yasmine.
Clare is a uniquely erotic and intensely hypnotic performer while Yasmine is the electrifyingly exciting type not afraid of any daring challenge in any set.
They both have a magic about them that can if fully unleashed be pretty much the most intoxicating, thrilling and mind boggling cocktail of sexual fervour imaginable.
But S66 seem to be draining away even their momentum and sexual charge.
Clare is continually stuck on a desk or a bed most of the time and Yasmine is constantly being shunted over to bed sets through what seems to me like panic stricken producers. Her naked stints just don't have the same magic when she is stuck on a bed. It feels like a football manager who buys a supremely talented player only to coach all the natural talent out of them by emphasising the need to track back and do a load of donkey work instead of letting their natural ability weave its magic.
Caty Cole has had her powers diminished too and it simply cannot all be down to OFCOM. I cannot and will not accept that.
The thrill that she used to generate has ebbed away because of a non progressive and non forward thinking channel which has allowed her working environment to become stale, predictable and samey.
This is a nightshow legend we are talking about here.
She will ALWAYS be a legend in my eyes and I hate seeing her go through this, it is just painful and horrible to watch.
If S66 did win a bidding war then that is very sad.
S66 give me no indication they are willing to give their babes either the tools or the freedom of expression to produce their very best.
For a channel to go from market leader to morose failure like this sickens me and depresses me in equal measure.
A channel that had better ideas, more initiative and an unrivalled wow factor has now collapsed into a miserable, shambolic state of stagnant, predictable, desperate and woeful incompetence.
Staring aimlessly into the nightshow abyss waiting only for its impending doom.
