i have to admit that i do find the drama to be interesting & it probably wouldn't be if i understood what they were saying. since i don't it leaves me free to speculate & almost write my own script of what is going on. that is actually a lot of fun. but the reason that i started watching was to see regular people having sex & showing off their bodies. without that i don't think there is much of a market. as for matador he had an easy job once mia agreed to have sex. just do it so that the voyeurs (aka peolpe who want to watch such things) could be entertained. also whether we like it or not it is a business & needs to generate revenue. so guys do what it takes or get out & let someone else do it. our latest friends layne & mika long with sveta & vlad, eric & layla, natasha & john (although he needs to figure out how to do it longer), & alina & eugene all understand it & work it into their schedules (which lets face it leave plenty of time for such things). as jabbeth said, staged or not, you guys need to pull out all the stops or vh will find someone else that will.
