Xpanded tv - General Chat & Discussion

Without so much favourable enthusiasm as post 3799, I've responded to similar comments, saying some of the same things here: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2728518

Here here to Harry’s comments.

Some just can’t accept the decline and death of the babeshows and that babestation is no longer a must-watch phone sex line. Webcams and the rise of camming were the final nail in it’s coffin. Anytime I’ve caught a glimpse of BS in the last year or two it’s just a girl lying on the set or bed texting away on their own phone (talk about boring eh?). I’m not saying there aren’t great girls (Beth, Bella Baby, Nicole to name some) but they are a dying breed.

As I said in previous posts, BS is now just a glorified camshow.

That’s just my 2 pennies.

Bingo. Boring tame channel.

If they let the women do standing nude sessions, we'd at least have another great channel to look forward to every night, instead of only Babestation, a channel that 90% of the time now is bad.

I see the Xpanded TV forum is still getting Babestation fans coming on here just to call it boring or lame because it doesn't cater to their needs for nude babes.

It still hasn't occurred to them, that many of us prefer to see the girls in some sexy themed outfit or glorious set of lingerie - with stockings or tights - to tease and seduce us and let our fantasies run wild. They have a satin-lined bed to cavort on and will happily bounce around, spread their legs wide or simulate a footjob. And the kit usually all comes off by the end anyway. That’s half the enjoyment, for me anyway.

Meanwhile on BSTV, they’re still using that manky set with the desk or the padded bench that’s ripped to shreds. Who cares if Xpanded girls don't have a microphone. They just say “ring me now, I’m really horny” anyway (or scream into the microphone if their name is Lori) . If you want to hear what they've really got to say, you ring in!!

And besides, what’s so great about girls appearing nude? Half the time the camera is only focused on the top half of the body, and when it’s not the babe is either lying down so you can only see her arse or places her hands and legs closely together. Where’s the open leg shots like you have on Xpanded???

The two channels are like chalk and cheese, and it’s very clear to me which is the superior.

You took the words right out of my mouth (and my many posts on the subject)!!

NB I will just throw this question out there - why is Xpanded - which, I agree, is everything you say it is - failing to entice more faces/names on to its schedules??

the main reason is proberly the loss of only fans and restrictions of using other places as a secondary income

many of the girls prob have had experience of being done over one way or another why would you risk it again

I can understand a time limit for re/editing a post, but not the same length for deleting one!
Hence, rather than deleting, and posting a separate, new version of the quoted post, I'm 'replying' to it..

Compare and contrast post 3799, with my post linked in the quoted post, alongside the few other posts' responding to post 3799, and declaring this thread "closed", as post 3800 would have it, is demonstrably premature.
As this is merely one strand of the discussion that was already well underway, when I joined the forum, in early 2020.
Namely, "the death and decline of the babeshows", which post 3802 is certain of, despite affirming post 3799, and only "glimpsing BS in the last year or two"!?
Raising the question: in those terms, is Xpanded the babeshows' undeath?!

I'm not going to repeat all that I've said about Xpanded in (hyper)linked posts, but suffice to say, I've described it as in some significant ways, the least worst channel, and yet, BS remains the channel and website to watch, for the most attractive and exciting women, with Xpanded moving out of third position, only by default, of 66's collapse.
Even one of the posts' agreeing with post 3799, concedes that the overall number of women appearing on tv, are thin on the ground at Xpanded.

In one of my earliest forum posts, I remarked on how few women of non-European descent had appeared on Xpanded TV: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2430022 which was made light of, in at least one reply, and another response replied to a post which partly agreed with me, seemingly without having read precisely what I'd said in my original post.
As I said in that original post, I had previously raised the question on Xpanded's own defunct forum, without more than one response at all, as I recall, which shared my puzzlement, nonetheless.
That thread on 'black girls on the channels', is only nine pages long! Plus, it's a long time since I looked, but I don't recall finding much about 'Babestation Ebony', when I searched.

Also in that post, and possibly one other, I've described how I came to be expelled from the forum:
"[....] Eventually, I was banned, in the middle of a thread I subsequently started, about the severe limits on a forum for adults.
Although I did prompt a moderator to be more candid, than he wanted, about the apparently greater importance, at least, at that time, attributed to the webcam side, than tv.
I still have screenshots from then ...."
However much the specific personnel, and management outlook, might have changed at Xpanded, perhaps the TV channel remains a lesser priority.
That would make some sense of how relatively little, or slow, change there has been over many years, in contrast to the other two, in terms of onscreen personnel, and sets, even accounting for the OnlyFans dispute.
Although with few exceptions, since I interacted with some on its forum, I've paid little attention to the exclusively webcam women at Xpanded, there were certainly much fewer new faces on Xpanded TV, during the height of the pandemic, than on the other two channels.

Some of the Xpanded forum "screenshots" referenced above, were the basis for my nine-year overview post, in a 66 discussion thread, about the visual presentation of all the channels that appeared on 'Freeview': https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2484684

Ashton's cancelled tonights show.
Which (at present) just leave Elise James on her own.

hopefully will have had enough time to get cover

but then i could do with rest Lola on fri morning / Ashton on Sat morning and Maria this morning im pooped

got to say one thing the last couple of calls not really been caught up in queues usally only have to wait 2-3 mins before i get thru seems to a lot less talkers and a lot more wankers maybe the cost of living crisis is a blessing in disguise

I notice that Becky B is doing a nightshow on Thursday.

So are we saying that BS permits these add - on activities such as only fans, where XTV doesn't?? I know there were accusations of bullying which - even if unproven - would certainly have had potential recruits thinking twice about joining! Even so, the stalwarts of the channel have remained, so that is not a live issue for them, and you may have thought that they could have convinced some of those other models who they know to join??

Perhaps the reality is that BS just has deeper pockets?? It can't be that the set - up is better - working environment - wise surely!!

Long and short, given the repetitive nature (although familiarity sometimes does not breed contempt) of XTV with the short roster options in terms of sheer numbers, are we seeing the road clearing for one remaining company to have it all to themselves??
Some of BS behaviour/arrogance/complacency - one example being increasing dead air time (for pvts or not is irrelevant) - something I highlighted and feared before, w would suggest so!! Not the girls there am I referring too necessarily btw

In actual fact, would it be the worst thing in the world, if Xpanded became a day/tease option only?? Their day roster (notwithstanding the -presumably - necessity of an increase in the night time presenters doubling up during the day shifts) is #1 in my opinion, and by some distance! To my mind, it would certainly cater for an as yet untapped market??
