I agree with a lot of what you said - I think Elite have got loads of great positive things going for them, but whenever people try to suggest some changes you hardly ever see them take it on board and actually respond.
E.g. for absolutely ages people have mentioned the dodgy lighting they have, often making tanned girls look really pale.
But the lighting has never changed.
E.g. people have asked for their graphics to be made a bit smaller, so they don't get in the way as much.
But although new graphics were introduced they weren't any smaller.
E.g. many people like to see an even mix of some close ups and some camera motion, BUT, they also like fullbody shots and the camera staying still for a while, especially when the girls stand up.
But the camerawork generally stays the same (lots of camera movement, close ups, holding the camera just off the floor etc.)
Don't get me wrong, I do like Elite, and I do call in from time to time, even though money is tight for me - but it would be great if Jamie and the other producers could really respond to our suggestions.
They might think they are doing very well as things are, but they might do even better if they altered things a bit.
I'm giving a lot of respect to Jamie and the other bosses as it must be a bloody difficult job trying to run these channels, and keep all the viewers/callers happy.
If they could just take on board some suggestions and make a few adjustments that would be absolutely fantastic.
