That is a future Beverly Hills plastic surgeon''s patient.

Thanks. BTW, it doesn't take a genius to figure out which RLC & VHTV channels make the most money, which are on thin ice and which are moderately successful (or dismal). Use CC's forum viewership/participation as a barometer to what people like. I view more RLC than VHTV. I think RLC found what works & doesn't. As a consumer, there are things I'd change from a business perspective. But they're on point. A little slow when change is needed but they have lots more content on a percentage basis than VHTV (RLC also has been around a little longer). RLC's challenge is they need to be more proactive.They should also concentrate more on expanding their business model vs the endless chase of people posting samples of their content (free publicity goes a long way). One example of them not being procative is with Maya & Stephan (they were 'done' nearly a year ago). RLC took many, many months to make a change. Meanwhile, I'm sure they lost viewers because of it. Now,...do they expect her alone to carry the channel?! Unlike Leora, Maya doesn't have the personality (or insatiable appetite) to go it alone. She's going to either have to be more 'open' on the free cams or have her new BF (aka Boy-Toy) make more visits and some boinking on the free cams (maybe some kitchen counter fun). It will be interesting how this channel develops as she attracts viewers who like strong, independent women (maybe more so then typical horn-dogs because while she's attractive, she's not a beauty, she doesn't have an hourglass figure, and she dresses like a mom with three kids). Got slightly off topic but I think ya'll get the idea. You can determine which apartments will have a limited shelf life (often better then RLC or VHTV).

I'd be surprised if M&H had the final say regarding taking away the free cam. Makes no business sense at all. If there has been a discussion between VH & M&H, with the investment VHTV has in the apartment, I'm sure they make the decisions. M&H are either employees or independent contractors. I doubt that have access to specific analytics that VHTV spends money on to run the channel (business). These cams are a careful balance of quality (content) and quantity (viewership). Even if M&H were compensated on a base salary + commission status (viewership), that free cam would be better free than private. M&H could consciously decide not to always bang in the LR and go to the BR. Personally, if I was VHTV, I'd say.."be mindful of the (free) cam in the LR but more times then not, use it for heavy foreplay and do the hard banging in the BR". Lead the viewer to wanting more by paying for the private cams. Plenty of cams do this (and it seems to be the right balance). Such a remedial (business) concept. What VHTV has to do is continue finding ways to attract viewers. I'd say they have 75% good content - a good mix for what most people want to see. They even started the gay channels (not to my liking but hats off to them for thinking outside the box). As stated previously, they'll figure out the balance.

I think what the dude is saying (or as I interpret) is the free cam that VH took away made it MORE enticing to subscribe. Kinda agree with that but I can see why VH took it away. If VH is business-minded and analytical, they'll know within 4-6 weeks whether it was wise to block out the cam. Same could be said for Nina/Alan/Serena LR cam. Once in a while they bang it out on that (stained) couch. VH may one day feel they are giving away content and take that cam away. On the flip side, they have to give 'something' to entice new pervs to subscribe. Their kicthen cam ain't gonna do it. And for M&H, that loggia cam (as it is now slightly tilted to the LR) also won't entice a newbie to subscribe. But VH will figure out what works. FREE ADVICE TO VH: It's CONTENT that brings the money in. Give people a taste of content and if it appeals to them, they'll join. M&H provides content. Taking away one of the popular free cams...how will a new viewer be able to decide? But they'll figure it out (maybe re-position the cam or add another cam that shows the kitchen and a good tease of the LR).

I'm just guessing (and I don't really want to know), but odds are your wife, girlfriend or boyfriend (whichever one applies, if any) thinks the same of you. Predictable, not imaginative, stale. I'm not insulting you. Just pointing out there comes a time when things seem mundane. And it's OK to favor Linda. She's hot (especially pre-tattoo). IMO she needs to tone but by no means would I throw her out of my bed. Long term Leora viewers were pleasantly surprised about a year ago when a dildo was put to use. And then when she explored her backdoor....neither was anything she did for the first four years I was observing her. Things evolve. I'm waiting for Yvonne (or is the dog's name Eva) to set aside the pillow, use her own dildo and.... Anything is possible. That dog can be entertaining . :-)

Watching these two (for me) is...disturbing. If you could imagine two walruses mating like human beings, this might be what it would look like. Their appearance isn't the issue. It's how sloppy they are going about it. But this once again proves there is a ying for a yang. (Video & Image Content No Longer Available)

More to see from my previous post (this is the end of the end). Spoiler Alert: They both died from exhaustion :-) You can thank me again. (Video & Image Content No Longer Available)

At first she really wanted to say (in Russian), "not tonight honey, I have a headache'. I think she's happy she kept her mouth closed. She came...um...you decide how many times you think she came?! You can thank me now. (Video & Image Content No Longer Available)

It's 4AM local time, he's all up her back door, and she's moaning loudly. I wonder if the neighbor's heard? :) She's not going to sit comfortably on a chair for a week. (Video & Image Content No Longer Available)

I don't think there was a rift. Like a carton of milk, everything has an expiration date. Here's my take: I think for most of 2016 and 1st quarter of 2017, she (more then he) felt things were going stale (or the spark of love extinguished). I think they were just going through the motions (subconsciously feeling no need to continuously impress one another). She stopped trying (as in making a fancy dinner, dressing for a night of romance, etc.) and he was just....Stepan. He has/had always been stoic for the 4+ years that I've observed. I don't think he every bought her flowers or anything remote to what a b/f or husband does for his wife or g/f (to show appreciation). I think she came to that realization early on but went with the flow as it was 'comfortable'. Sometime early 2017 (I'm guessing March), she decided to look for love (w/o telling Stepan). She needed affection (as we all do) and someone willing to "open a door" for her. THAT...is why I think she cheated on Stepan with BT (as they were still a couple). BT and Maya hooked up (don't know if by chance or cupid struck). She and Stepan broke it off, had a convo, concluded they had a good thing going (free rent, utilities, etc). Many of us noticed she and Stepan were not boinking since Spring 2017 and when BT made his first appearance (August or September, 2017), well,...the rest is history. Will BT move in??? Don't know. But as he's not at the apartment 24/7 and it seems he can be absent for 3-4 days at a time (too early to tell), either he's going to school, has a job or in the military. Any of those 3 choices makes him a better man than Stepan.

While on the subject of one less cam, VHTV needs to re-think that banner that goes across the screen showing other apartments. Occupying 20% screen space - especially on cams that are poorly placed where people are active (but blocked by the banner), is ill-conceived. RLC's solution is much better.

I know I'm quoting myself, but I should expand my thoughts on taking away that LR cam. I assume M & H are one of the top three visited sites (based on the short time they've been on VHTV and also on this CC forum activity). With that said, first time VHTV visitors will rarely see them as they are if only the Loggia cam is activated. They are not romantic (or active) when smoking a cig or on the computer. Doesn't seem like a smart business move to (practically) eliminate cam-access on one of your most frequently visited channels. This channel BRINGS membership. Newbies will tune in, see an empty cam (because in a 24 hr period, they less likely to be the loggia then any other room besides the bathroom), and move on (to RLC?).

IMO, better to take away that LR camera. Makes me less eager to subscribe when things get hot in the LR and then the action moves to the BR. By not seeing any action at all, I can go on and do more constructive things (spending too much time on-line).

She's not complex. If anything, I'd say she's vain, a bit immature living a Hollywood dream/fantasy (meaning she has all these risque clothes that if not for the cameras...she'd still buy them but with what money or purpose (other then feeling 'special'). If she was here in Los Angeles (or New York), she wouldn't survive long. Her expectations of an American life are superficial and she would be overwhelmed (if she was to live here). As a tourist, she'd soak it all up and have a blast. She (and Paul) are in a holding pattern. Both in their mid 20s with no future planned. He's working but it doesn't seem to be a rewarding job. Most likely labor intensive. She's home most of the day acting out a houswife lifestyle; 'working' as she entertains for the cameras. Neither have thought very much about their future - including starting a family.

It's nice to see Maya affectionate outside the bedroom. Looks like she's in love (until she cheats on BT as I think she cheated on Stepan).

Sheriff Aparo (sp?) in Arizona did that and the courts found his policies violated the civil rights of convicts. I found that ruling laughable; as if some of these convicts (i.e. murderers) deserve to have THEIR civil rights protected. Have them make license plates, pick up trash off the highways - do something that benefits society. Maybe build future prisons/detention centers. Chain gangs were mostly paid labor for private enterprise that only the jails benefited from (and the private enterprise).

Wish you would have 'paragraphed' your post for easier reading (and better to respond by). I'm getting confused on your position. If it's about protecting kids, tougher firearm access laws wont do it. There's a bigger problem (besides the mental health issue): The continuing moral and ethical decay of society. Absentee moms/dads, lack of traditional values, latchkey kids, violent video/computer games, ganster-type of music videos, and so on. Politicians (and society) needs to address the root of the problem. Armed guards/teachers in school is (IMO) an acceptable TEMPORARY SOLUTION. But that won't stop a knucklehead from renting a van and plowing through the gates/fence of a playground while kids are at recess. And we shouldn't have to live in a law abiding society surrounded by walls and crash resistant pylons (often found in front of various federal buildings). I'm OK with temporary solutions but only if the root cause of the action is addressed. Otherwise, we're putting lipstick on a pig.

Those people are called Democrats (liberals). I'm in favor of the death penalty. Not in favor of hard labor (maybe you need to expand on 'hard labor' so I know what you mean).

Los Angeles (southern California) is known as the "high-speed police pursuit" capital of the country. On average, there are seven police pursuits daily (3 in the city of L.A.). On average, there are three police pursuits weekly that exceed 15 minutes (do a search on YouTube for LAPD police pursuits to see how dangerous they can be). To curtail these dangerous pursuits, about five years ago it became an automatic 6 month jail time for first offenders. So why do we have more pursuits now then ever before??? Because while first time (or second or third time) offenders get their jail sentence, they only serve about 10-20% of the time BECAUSE THE STATE REFUSES to build more prisons! Bad guys get early release due to prison over-crowding. What kind of punishment is it to be told you'll serve prison time for running from the cops when you know you'll be out before the ink on the paperwork gets dry! I'm in favor of the death penalty but not sure about bad guys getting a whipping. Would rather see them incarcerated and making license plates. Again, it all comes down to not addressing the ROOT of the problem.

If what you say is true, there would be no crimes involving a firearm in the state of California or the cities of Chicago or New York. Gun laws in these jurisdictions only affect law abiding people. Bad guys will get guns. Bad guys will get ammo for the guns. Whether through open borders (i.e. Mexico), gangs or other means. These strict gun laws in California have been around for over 25 years and crimes involving firearms (including murders) continue to rise. Yes, they keep going up, UP and UP! A few years ago the L.A.P.D. (and the state of California) tried masking the increase in firearm crimes buy categorizing some crimes as misdemeanors (and not felonies). LAPD bent a little bit under public pressure but the state of California (starting with the governor) continuously DECREASES the punishments for using a firearm in a crime. Several actions that were classified as felonies have turned into misdemeanors. Felons are getting early release from prison - Why??? Because of prison over-crowding. Instead of building more prisons (it's been 25+ years since the last state prison was built yet the state's population has increased 7.6 million during that time). Politicians have to address the ROOT of the problem(s). Not manipulate a solution that adversely affects society (or until a politician's term expires). Written laws regarding firearms only affect good guys. You want to solve a problem?? Go to the root of the problem. Can't afford to pay rent next month?? Don't commit a crime - get a job (or further your education for a better paying job). Yea, sounds basic and simple but you get my jest. I go back to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If it was addressed 60+ years ago why the Palestinians feel they have a claim to Israeli land, there would be no issue. These Palestinians, who were kicked out of Libya, Syria, etc because they were poor and uneducated (and a burden on their country's economy), would be back in their homeland contributing towards their country's economy. The world (UN) turned the other way and basically said 'its not my problem. Same basic reason why the Holocaust occurred. It's the ROOT of the problem that must be addressed. Everything else is either a band-aid, set to appease ignorant voters, or a stop-gap until a politician's term expires.

The issue shouldn't be whether armed guards should be on campus. I'm OK with it if it is a TEMPORARY SOLUTION. Society has to get to the root of the problem and that's mental illness. The NRA is doing what needs to be done to ensure the 2nd amendment stays intact (and also defends its own membership). As an NRA member, I don't agree with some of their positions but the facts are, give in a little and before you know it, your rights are taken away (which is what's going on in California regarding gun rights for the past 20 years). Don't hate on firearms. Hate on politicians who continue to ignore mental health 'problems' (that many politicians created by de-funding hospitals and sanitariums back in the 1980s). You can't fix a leaking water pipe without addressing the root problem of replacing the pipe. And you can't fix the indirect problems of society without first addressing and fixing the root problem (mental health). Politicians know what to do. But it has become political suicide to enact legislation to address mental illness. It's easier for politicians to let the public address a solution that will NOT bear any political expense.

Its is a political problem. More specifically, their lack of identifying & doing something about mental health issues in society. Unfortunately, it's turned into an Israeli-Palestinian issue. And what I mean by that is if you look back to history, it's the Palestinians that got kicked out of the Arab countries by their own brothers!. They never had a historical claim to Israeli land. But as generations pass and facts become obscure,... The same with mental health issues and the lack of politicians acting to get it under control. Its now, after decades of political neglect, have turned into a gun control issue. Lets keep sweeping society issues under the rug.
