Are they still hot ? (off-topic continuation)

I'll start this new one as the other has unfortunately been hijacked by me and others. So let's have some constructive debate on this one.

The sub-topic could well be titled "What really has changed ?"

@klemi

Like you, I have been a viewer since the early days and seen the models you mention. But things have changed since then and ,yes, not always for the good.

Your arguement is that if the more recent models were still at the channel then there would be more callers/SMS senders. Well, if you are a regular caller and only called that girl then you would be right but even that regular caller who sees another girl to fit his personal taste will still call. Did people stop calling when the likes of Slaveya and Silvet, two of my favourites girls of that early period leave ? No. The callers moved on to the replacements.

Your arguement is that the popular girls(for actual callers) are not highly placed in the ratings. Like any election, only those who participate will have a say. There are many members here yet only a handfull take the trouble to actually vote. As for Petra she is popular with the voters but the real test is when she has been in the voting system for 30 days because  at the moment the system works to her favour.

You arguement is that no other channel cuts away during a performance. True. But no other channel works like ETV. Most use one static camera (just read the comments on the site when Live24 do this). Even from the begining, ETV had atleast 2 cameras and there were cutaways. Then there were no more than 4 girls in the studio. Now there are as many as 8 and there are four cameras. Of course it is annoying if your viewing is disturbed because of this but they are done for several reasons (my opinion).

1. If a girl not in focus is busy they need to show her for some time to keep that caller happy
2. If a girl is not busy they need to show her for some time to tell the prospective caller that you can ring in and immediately speak to a girl.

Are there fake callers/senders of SMS ?. Probably. But even that was discussed here in the early days of the channel. It is also true that VIP SMS are but a trickle of what they were and I have covered that elsewhere so it's not for repeating.

The real discussion concerns content and they way the models interpretate the 'rules'. I watched with mild amusement last night. Aliyah has for over a month been 'exiled' to the E2 night-shows. Yesterday she made a rare and welcome appearance on E1. But what surprised me was that her performance was quite similar to the one the previous night on E2. The camera did stay up for longer but there were several glimpes 'below the belt' and she seemed to be enjoying what she was doing.

So it appears that the 'rules' are open for interpretation. It could well be that these 'ex hot'  models are more thoughtful. Concerned about the consequences of 'rule'-breaking. After all, the 'rules' do seem to change all too often, even during the same day. And that could confuse even the most enthusiastic girl.

Some may think that I see all this through rose-tinted specs. Wrong. I can heap praise and criticise in equal proportion. My current mission is to make the whole experience more 'watchable' with the resultant benefit for all - viewers, callers and channel. Last week there was a small improvement. It still needs more work so watch this space for the next suggestions.

IMO the whole program has been switched from hot to soft. Lately is very boring with any erotism or teasing-play etc..

I.E. a model like Lana (which was usual to undress often) now it's almost always clothed with any chance to see anything from her.

I don't know what's changed, but it's changed in the worst way it could. And if the ETV staff reads this board IT'S IMPOSSIBLE not to know what we think of. And I think ETV will regret its behaviour, it cant go on forward only with sms written by people offering/asking sex with their phone number...
