RE: Babestation review thread.
There seems to be an unusual amount of agreement in this thread today. I thought last night was dismal.
I've noticed a couple of trends creeping into BS lately and both were evident last night and have been touched on by Watcher. First, in many stints the girls are remaining covered a lot longer (and are also covering up again more often). Second, the return of something we saw briefly a few months ago: in a 2-girl scenario, one girl remains covered all or most of the time. A few nights ago Dionne remained fully clothed for the whole of a 2-girl session with Daryl, who remained clothed until well past the halfway point.
There were quite a few 2-4-1s last night but none lasted for very long. BS1: Lolly/LDM - 7 mins; LDM/Jda - 20 mins; Ella/Megan - 6 mins; Ella/Lolly - 8 mins. BS2: LDM/Ella - 12 mins; Rochelle/Kiran (attractive new face) – 14 mins. BSXtra: Megan/Daryl – 10 mins; Lolly/Megan – 12 mins.
No 2-4-1 on PL, once the proud home of this activity, leastways not on Freeview. LDM said she'd had her two favourite girls for 20 mins each, so she must have had another 2-4-1 somewhere pre-Freeview.
Sadly it was mostly stroking and air-licking and not one was really worth watching, except possibly Lolly/Megan but even that had a bit of air-licking. There seems to be a common pattern to a lot of recent 2-4-1s: the girls start off upright and play a bit, typically with a nipple lick or two (presumably this is to get the punters reaching for their phones in anticipation), then it's down onto the bed in the old Freeview side-by-side, on their stomachs, facing the camera, head shots only, position for most of the remaining time. We've had some quite good 2-4-1s lately (by BS standards) - why not every night?
I refuse to blame the girls for any of this. They've all shown they can deliver the goods when required. The blame has to lie with those in charge in the studio or someone passing down orders from higher management. Whoever it is needs their arse kicked in the most violent way humanly possible.
The Ella/LDM split screen was a total farce. They were close enough to touch, and in fact did so at least once. Ella was clearly visible for much of the time in LDM's half of the screen and the cameraman's efforts to avoid this meant he had to get so close to LDM that only half of her body or less was visible a lot of the time, often with half of her face missing off the top of the screen. Added to this was the use of a crappy-cam (yes folks, alarmingly there's apparently more than one!) for LDM, which made her look as if she'd strayed into the path of someone spray-painting a white van. Wtf was the point??? It would have been far better done as a 2+2, which was obvious to anyone from the opening and closing shots. How come that bunch of muppets couldn't see that?
One or two people have asked recently if the 'Tamestation' label is still appropriate. Now that the old Freeview 'slow and sensual only' rule has been left far behind there's not a lot more the girls can do in their solo stints, so the measure of comparison now has to be the 2-4-1s. A little while back we had Toni and Amanda showing how it's done on Freeview BB, although things have gone a bit quiet there now for reasons that we know. Last night, while all the above was happening on the BS channels, Caty, Mica & Co. were doing their stuff over at Elite. Comparison is chalk and cheese. Elite is light-years ahead. Yes, BS still thoroughly deserves the 'Tamestation' label.
This is a pity, because I really like the BS way of presenting the shows. The chat, banter and general good humour, forum shouts, the interplay at change-overs and all the variations which break up the show from being a pure production-line scenario. What a shame it has to be spoiled by such a tame approach to content.
Once again, despite the fact that it clearly upsets at least one member of the forum, I have to stress that I only have Freeview to judge the BS shows by, plus a few pre-Freeview vidcaps and a dvd lent to me by an acquaintance, which showed me some of the things that happen, or used to happen, on pre-Freeview BSXtra (and what an eye-opener that was!).
