I guess that girl callers must encourage loads of 'listen only' callers otherwise the mob at BS would not do it. They certainly would not do it if there was little profit in it. In other words it's those too 'shy' to actually talk to the girl that are to blame

Yeah, you can laugh, but 50mins solid at the start of her first (65min) freeview appearance in two weeks - come on!

I wasn't laughing at the expense of freeview callers one bit. I was laughing at the irony that those who just want to listen inadvertantly ruin it for those who call. Obviously it's BS who are to blame as they are the ones exploiting the situation by putting girl callers on...but that is what is bringing in the money at the moment.

On the other hand, and I don't know if this is just my fevered imagination (and let's face it whose isn't when it comes to Paige), but it does seem that Paige has got more animated and/or removed more clothing when she gets these calls, in the past at least. So maybe there's a silver lining after all ...

It's not just that no genuine callers can get through during an extended fake girl call, it costs us alot of money. The girl callers are queue-jumped in on the producers whim. If you've been queueing for, say, 10mins and you hear a girl-caller put through then you have absolutely no chance of speaking to the girl and the £17 you've already spent has been completely wasted i.e. you've been ripped off.
