It was definitely the tamest live phone in encrypted section so far transmitted on "naked Babestation" for some reason .
Believe me when I say that I really, REALLY don't want to defend babestation, and I happen to agree that if you pay for bsx then you shouldn't have to pay again to see the "naked" part of "naked babestation". However, for whatever reason they have chosen to go down the route of making people pay full price for phone calls, and I believe the theory is that the models only get truly saucy when callers ask them to, and from what I could tell Leah got NO calls, so they were reluctant to show much.
They will end up in a vicious circle of people being already reluctant to part with money to call in because they've already paid £5 up front, so when the model is tame they keep their hands in their pockets (so to speak!). I think they would find if the model starts out naked, rude and playful, then people would want to call in.
Personally I wouldn't think there can be that big a market of people who actually buy bsx in the first place, so keeping full price calls seems destined to drive them away. If they said "ok you've paid £5, here are all these glorious models being rude, and even better you can phone them for 30p a minute (or whatever it takes to cover their costs), then they would find they get a much higher proportion of people calling in, and they would probably get more people buying the channel in the first place as word of mouth spread.
