RE: Babestation review thread.
Somewhat off-topic here, but there has been discussion of the effect of the new Bluebird channels, so I just had a quick look at the webstream to see for myself and compare it to the BS channels.
I have to say, that on the evidence I saw, BS must be feeling very secure, it seemed a right mixed bag. Let's just say that they appear to be trying to cater for all tastes given some of the girls I saw there!
Of the 5 main channels, at least 3 were showing the same room, just from different angles. In the room were 7 or 8 girls, maybe more, so the different cameras were focusing on different girls. That set-up may appeal to some, but for me it did nothing at all. With so many girls there were too many distractions, and no-one seemed focused on what they were doing. On the BS channels, with one girl performing directly to the camera, you feel a part of the action, whether you are just watching or calling in. With the BB set-up I didn't feel that at all as a viewer, and I'd imagine it could be frustrating as a caller, as the girl you are speaking to may not even be on screen.
For me it just didn't have any 'sexiness' to it at all, it was just a bunch of scantily dressed girls trying to act sexy, but it just wasn't working. With so many girls on screen at once, there was no real 'connection' with any of the performances.
Reede Fox was the only one I recognized, and she looked a pale imitation of the Reede on babestation.
There's been talk of whether the likes of Babestation will have to up their game to compete with the new outfit, but frankly on what I saw so far, I don't think they do. Given the amount of time it has taken to bring it to air, I was surprised just how poor it was. I guess it will appeal to some, and there will be those who will be trying to talk to one of the 'names' they have recruited, but I don't see it being a real threat to BS or Elite in it's current form, it's just not the same product.
I'll certainly be sticking with BS, I won't be holding my breath waiting for this to come to freeview. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out though. They've thrown a lot of money at this recruiting the girls they have, so if it doesn't make money fast, they'll be forced to make changes.
