I was a regular follower, and posted frequently, but over the summer I noticed a lack of interest in and postings to the site. I guess that this was a reflection of the changes in Asian Connections and I am afraid to say, but would hope to be proved wrong, that the shows days must now be numbered.
lol no unfortunately wee man, this isn't rejuvenation but the spastic, violent death throes of implosion. Not unlike how if the sun were to suddenly disappear from our solar system, I'm sure we'd experience all kinds of interesting things ...for a few seconds.
Ice is gone and i think you're right when you say the shows days are numbered but we're still really lucky to have experienced her.
She had the smile of an angel, the tits of a goddess and the ass of a demon...(ok no more playing DIablo before bedtime for me lol)
I wouldn't rule out the return of Ice just yet .
The way this channel operates ,anything can happen and usually does .
I thought we'd never see Cherry again , but , hey presto there she is - 2 shows last week .
When both parties (Ice & Producers) sit down and realise Ice's abscence is hurting them both ,as well as us .A compromise may then come about .
Time will tell I suppose .

Yes, but what we have to consider is this: We all loved Ice so much because of the way she behaved; her knicker flashes / knicker removal... just her general rule-breaking was what appealed to most of us. If this IS why she was asked to leave, then any return is going to be under
their terms and she will be a shadow of her former self.
I would disagree with that statement. If her removal impacts as much as we think on the viewing figures that ultimately leads to calls and texting income then I would say she is in a pretty powerful position to secure a better return for her services.

A lot of these girls, but not all, are students. Has anyone stopped to think they may just have been taking time out to complete their studies and/or degrees.
As for the lack of girls, hence the return of Anne and Cherry, I see it is ladyboys time again tonight. A complete turnoff for me.

Me too. I can't turn off quick enough when I check to see who's on and see it's a ladyboy double-bill.
In fact, Ice literally was the only reason I watched. With her gone I don't even watch at all now.

Apologies gents I should have said " that ultimately leads to a reduction in calls and texting income"
Just watched this video: http://video bam.com/BqxZS and I defy anyone to tell me after watching the last 10 minutes of it, that the show A/C didn't mean alot to Ice. She really gave it her all and I think she deserves the kind of fans who would kick up a stink if she were being mistreated or, you know, fired from said show.
And if that isn't us, then I hope she stays gone and moves on to better things. I partially agree with all the above statements but Ice's removal will only have an impact on the station if we are unified in opposition and express that through cutting a/c off cold turkey. ...if we are inclined to do so that is.
Life goes on, and shit happens and old habits die hard but it's truly sad when you see someone who puts their all into something getting crushed by the iron fist for doing (and doing very well) what is in her nature and more achingly, what she thinks will make people happy.
The way I see it, she has the power of her fans or nothing if she hopes to return to this show. Which, in all evidence I've seen, meant a great deal to her.

I'm afraid this isn't going to happen. Such boycotts only ever come to pass when the viewers' feelings are unanimous, and in this case they are not.
For some unfathomable reason, given this show is supposedly aimed primarily at straight males, the ladyboys have grown and grown in popularity, to such an extent that they outdo all of the real girls when it comes to call volume.
The channel is only interested in making money, and with the ladyboys taking over the way they are, I don't see why they should be particularly worried about upsetting the Ice fans.
There's only 2 ladyboys who appear to do well call wise ,Amy & Cindy .There's still plenty of real Thai Girls left ; Cherry ,Kipsi ,Ali ,Anne ,Sami ,Angie , Kathy (is she still there ?).
I still think we haven't seen the last of Ice though .
