Soooooo After a surprise twist of Canada voting, Tom's target Suzette remains in the house. After the HOH comp, Emmett becomes HOH,, so the assumption is now gary and suzette just get auto nominated. Buuuutttt apparently some watching the show said emmett broke a rule, and an investigation was done, and guess what everyone ?? he lost his spot, and the 2nd place person is now HOH. And guess who that was?? GARY so all bets are off as to who is supposed to be up, and we'll see what gary does...... Additional Comments: ok apparently they did a new HOH competition (not sure if emmett had to sit it out) and that is how Gary ended up HOH he won the new comp. Then the 4 cheaters in the original Bee HOH comp became the 4 have nots. Funny because on the AD the day before they were concerned about how the Have Not competition wojld be played with an uneven # of players. so Emmet, Jillian, Talla and Alec apparently didn't follow the challenge rules so became have nots also probably they had to step things up so wouldn't have time to do both a new HOH comp and the scheduled have nots comp, so one became the other i guess, like suzette, gary's time as HOH a bit shorter than normal? And wait until they find out they have a double eviction come up that same time lol, ideal timing to get out either the halves of two pairs or one entire couple.

I always use my voicemail as a way to communicate something to the caller. I change it when I have to go out, or if I am away for an extended time, etc. So it may say call back in 5 minutes, or call back after December 26th, for example. I find that most people will not leave a message, regardless of what information i leave for them to hear, even if I have seen them before. Some do hear the message and regardless will call back multiple times after leaving 3 messages, as tho somehow the info in my message will change lol. I have a feeling, given that I do communicate a lot to the caller, that they would be even less likely to respond to an automatic reply type of message. If you are concerned about leaving your voice on voice mail, I would maybe consider going into the texting for contact. I think a lot of my appeal is in the fact that I do have a voice connection. And usually if someone is contacting me, the assumption is that it is convenient for me to talk

My guess is that as a BB fan, Peter has decided to adopt the role of Dan for auditions and the show in order to get on, taking the advice of the books that Dan has written about how to get onto reality TV. He is almost an exact copy in DR, but he isn't out in the house itself, imo, if you watch After Dark, he is much more animated in DR than reality. In fact I was going to mention this exact thing today lol. Also, if you had signed up on the big brother website you can play the game to influence the show. Right NOW the vote is for Canada to decide which one of the nominees should be saved from being on the block. I am hoping everyone who is playing votes to save Suzette, because now that would make the game change. Tom would have to replace her as a nominee, beside AJ and AJ is already the pawn to keep, so who the heck is he going to basically be sending home if the vote goes this way? I don't think he will be able to put up Gary again as I think the power of veto used can't be undone, he won't have access to Gary again. I would like everyone to vote like i did for Suzette to be saved, because this puts Tom in the position, as Suzette was in the beginning of the show as first HOH, of having to decide at the very last minute without having time to think it thru, he'll appreciate that she had to do the same thing, which is why he ended up on the block in week one.

Best. Thread. Ever. :)

Of course they always go home!! What a fool!! But they are also saying it was because 'someone' says that she is saying she would go after ....., fill in blanks that alarm enough to sway the voting lol. I'm getting tired of Tom, who is obviously on a vengeance campaign taking everything personally when on day 1, someone who doesn't know anyone in the house puts him up for eviction. Basically if I have to hear one more time how him putting Suzette up isnt personal, etc etc, uhuh. If he was playing the game, he'd realize that right now neither Suzette or Gary have any power whatsoever and he'd take out someone who does, in exchange for safety from both of them for a couple of weeks. They are the easy targets, in other words. I didn't realize that at all about the game. I actually didn't realize until the AD yesterday that when talking about the majority they are talking about the house, and that it isn't based on an 'America votes" on a website or texting game. I always thought the answers were from the outside, not the actual houseguests and that they were trying to match what everyone else was saying. I think after a couple of questions, the fact that A was always winning would register with someone who wasn't in the loop? I did notice that all the women were out long before any of the guys, excepting Gary. And for Tom to win based on rigging the game, that's not really cool at all. Still waiting for the day Emmet finds out who voted him to leave (Liza) and I think he still thinks it was someone specific. I was pretty shocked to see them actually do the Nominations during the After Dark filming. They had a commercial break during the actual key pulling and announcement, but that I've never seen before. I've only ever seen on last year's AD them being locked out of one area of the house or backyard while things are set up.

Yeah I think she thinks the lights are off so the cameras are off. Judging by the night vision and close ups and unwavering camera angle directly on them, she'd be wrong. Actually what probably happened is the crew don't move the camera or then she would know that it is actually on and active. It just seems unlikely that they would jump to sex if they only knew each other a week considering they are being filmed

An update from After Dark last night around the 2.5 hour mark, Emmett and Jillian after lights out in the HOH room actually having sex. Kind of unmistakable and not at all just making out, since the cameras do the night vision and stayed on the two of them for 5 or 10 minutes lol. Just kind of reinforces the idea they already know each other well

This is actually a thing. Maybe it used to be a thing historically as well, but it seems to be a trendy thing to do new ager stuff. I personally don't think it was meant to be eaten, and it is a bit bizarre that anyone would think it is a good idea lol

I can't imagine any world where a non latex condom would make things more difficult. Non-latex condoms are known for allowing more warmth, more natural feeling and more sensitivity. They are often called "Bare" or similar, because of this, It seems to me that this is definitely a mind over matter issue, because the difference of going from latex to non latex has to be very noticeably better.

There are a couple of things to think about, my first piece of advice you already know, that it isn't life or death issue, and possibly it just really doesn't matter that much. If you made it less about 2nd shots, and try to space out and prolong the first one, you will relax more. One thing I tell some callers is that the session isn't actually cheaper with more shots, it isn't like 150 is 150 for one, and 75 each for 2 sogs lol. Plus more effort and energy and disappointment can occur and frustration if the session is designed to allow for 2 shots, but there is no 2nd, but in the meantime the first one was over in the first 15 minutes, the 2nd one didn't happen but 30 minutes are spent frantically trying to make it work. Seems counterproductive. But the tips I have are the first one is done right away, within or less than 10 minutes. This maximizes your recovery time. There should be a rest period, like massage or foreplay activity, no real attempt to get hard, just recovery. Then when there is direct contact, keep it to hand work only, without condom for a while, then on with the condom, which should include warming lubricant inside the condom to add more sensation for you. Avoid laying on your back on the 2nd sog, get upright, doggy or standing. Then finally, think outside the box. With condom on and in full service, chances are a 2nd sog feels like it isn't going to happen. So switch, to a hj, uncovered, and you should be standing or upright. I suppose if she does bbbjs, then stick with that. In the standing position, and without condom, this is the way to find out if the 2nd sog will happen at all. And keep note of the time, be the one to pack it in, don't make her have to say it. Acknowledge a valient effort was made, but it is time to say not today. And repeat. You've seen 5 different sps, but can do this with an SO. Doing it with the SO means you can do it when you know the person, so repeat with one a few times, then try the 2nd sog. Don't do it or expect it on the first visit, or the 2nd, stick with shorter sessions if you can, then one day opt for the hour and try it out.

@ jhenna, if you had watched the live feed After Dark, Kat's full house eviction still would have come out of nowhere. One thing I found with night #1 is that there were no feeds out of the HOH room, and I don't think there was any on night #2. We saw Tom and Emmet up, and then figured POV was won by Tom, and Kat went up, but no clue at all that the intent was to not break up that Tom/Emmett duo. There seems to be growing suspicion about why Emmett and Jillian are so close, after supposedly just meeting. I figure that there is a small chance that people auditioning for the show who are from the same area are very likely to meet each other and talk. I can't say they'd hang out while waiting to see if they get picked or not, but let's say Emmett and Jillian are from the same city, it's hard to believe now that they've met that they wouldn't go for coffee in Halifax or something. Also some of the live feeds last year I got the impression that the houseguests met up prior to getting into the house itself along with some alternates. maybe all 15 don't go for dinner in the same place, but I think it unlikely that 2-3 or more aren't going to meet up someway somehow. They seem to know who the unchosen alternates were gives me an impression that they were all in the same room or rooms shortly before hand. Additional Comments: re: Talla, i didn't see that, but it sounds like she doesn't know much about the show. I noticed that BB does that as well, actually pulls people from other reality show auditions to offer them a spot on the show, even though they are not fans and do not watch it much or at all. It is possible Talla is one of those kinds of houseguests? The episodes do edit deliberately to leave a different impression about what is really going on in the house, so that the outcome, like Kat being put up, comes as a surprise. The talk was that Gary was going up because he was annoying, then it was someone else (maybe jillian lol), and ended up being Kat just because Suzette as HOH didn't want to be bombarded by someone who actually wanted to play the game, make deals, and discuss some long term strategies. The first HOH was a good twist idea, but I dislike the animosity and resentment of the two guys Suzette put up. What do any of them expect? All of them risk being put up at some point, and Suzette had an hour to decide., As far as I can tell, they were the only ones who actually told the house they were an alliance lol. It was probably the first smart thing any HOH could or should have done, put them both up and at least one of them goes home. Her final mistake was to not make the house do that, to vote Emmett out, and control the house vote. I don't like the fact this is what BB strategy appears to be now, but since it is, she probably should have worked with that for the final eviction vote with who she had up. She also would have been securing herself some deals with who she didn't put up for eviction. it isn't any wonder that she probably will be the next one to go. As the house does that, over and over we will see the same mistakes, they will end up leaving behind the very people who have really good shots at the end to win. Suzette should be kept around for a very long time, because really she is unlikely to win anything ever again, unless by chance, and if she did, almost anyone will be able to get a deal with her, and if she doesn't almost anyone will be able to get her to vote their way.

I had a reply all ready to go, then lost it somehow. :( I wasnt that impressed by the first episode and the first airing of After Dark. No one seemed to be talking about anything other than food, and themselves, etc. The 2nd After Dark and episode was an improvement and personalities and game playing is starting. In general after last night's AD, I would say that Suzette is shooting herself in the foot by actively saying she doesn't actually want to talk game, and seems to be saying she wants to drift along to have a good time in the house. I appreciate that she is unlikely to win challenges, but people are also going to wonder which way the wind blows with her and just decide to make her an easy eliminatioin if they end up being HOH and want an easy out for nominations and eviction without losing anyone else's support for the following week. I likes the attempt at diversity, I must say I was hoping but not really expecting what they ended up doing. I thought that they would try to check off all the culture boxes with one guest, a 50 year old black (or mixed) lesbian mother of 3 from Montreal. So fairly impressed that they didn't do that, and then have 14 white guests lol. I found it kind of Canadian that the first person to get evicted was pretty much the only person who was campaigning or trying to play the game and the others felt she was being too pushy lol. The Have Not room looks pretty comfortable, and the hammock looks like it will be the place for strategizing for 2-3 at a time. I liked the challenges seen so far are simple, more like BB in the early years. Only the last couple of years the challenges seem to be getting very complex and elaborate and expensive, when it isn't really necessary. we don't see the full challenge on After Dark, we only see snippets in the episodes, we appreciate them

I think it is because you are ignoring the things that are actually real issues and things that you should or could be needing to know, and focusing on things that happen once in a million encounters. Your question shouldn't really be a concern about where will you go if a client wants to report you to the front desk, but what to do if a client wants to try to make you do things that you don't offer in your sessions. What you do is make sure before the appointment is even booked that he completely understands what you do and do not offer, and how much the rate is. And what you do is, as mentioned above, keep the $$ and show him the door if he doesn't comply. He booked and showed up based on the conditions you laid out, he can leave if he wants to change them. And also, how likely do you think it is, that a guy who came into a hotel in order to see an sp, is now going downstairs to the front desk to tell them they have an sp in room 2012? And thus expose himself as the guy who just came from seeing an sp? Again, one in a million.

Yes there is a reason why LE have female officers pose as SWs. If the public solicitation only went one way, then all they would do is pose as clients and approach the sps. That actually rarely happens, I think, although they can arrest sps for public solicitation, they do seem to focus more on the client end. You can't even discuss solicitation, as someone points out well here, without considering the public part of the solicitation. You can't short cut it, and try to imagine does it or doesn't apply in one case or the other, once you remember you have to say it as a phrase "public solicitation". and once you do that you can realize that posting an ad doesn't apply, answering an enquiry someone has based on that ad doesn't apply, and so on. Also, do you have a reasonable expectation that your conversation is taking place in private, with only the two of you hearing and speaking? Then even that conversation cannot be considered public solicitation.

I agree with this. The Thanks feature allows me to either thank someone for saying what I would have said, or for posting a reply in my thread, or just making a joke, etc. I like it better than Nominate, because I used nominate for the reasons I now am able to use Thanks, even tho that wasn't what Nom was intended for. But sometimes, often you run out of the approval option, have to spread it around or let it recharge. Thanks fill in the gaps, also when you don't really have a comment to add with the approval smiley. In short, thanks to mod for bringing in the Thanks button.

Sometimes the reasons for the recommendations section is so that you can go to see the sps who have been recommended, rather than see the ones who have not. There is a certain element who believe that the only valid comments about sps are the negative ones, but I think this site is built on the idea that nothing can be further from the truth. A recommendation is like a good review. If clients only see well reviewed/recommended sps, they reduce their chance of a bad time astronomically. If you have a bad time with a recommended sp, it may be due to crossing a boundary, or miscommunication about her boundaries or rate, or simply because that is not the right sp for you, because she simply isn't your type. but it probably will not be because the sp is a well known scammer or disreputable sp.

I agree with these sentiments. I may suggest that you try something different, less intense. A massage with a happy ending with someone who does also provide full service, but this massage style session is usually the very best first step. You have to be prepared to want to back out, and full service sessions are a lot of pressure, physically and emotionally if you aren't prepared. I suspect that you are not going to be comfortable with someone on a first visit. The non full service session allows you to reach that comfort after a couple of visits, or you may never be ready, but you will have crossed a barrier in your body and mind thru this touch. I recommend choosing someone who does provide a more relaxed encounter, and who is able to work with you thru a series of encounters rather than a full on assault on a first visit. take care, and thanks for sharing.

I was about to say that. all it does is end up getting some readers to think that she was the one extorting a non refundable fee from him that she refused to return even after not providing services. I am not sure what point the reporter had to include that monthly income, or whatever as well. That the sp could have afforded to send the money back, so the pursuit of contacting LE was based on principle not because she'd already spent the money and couldn't return it?

I haven't read thru everything, but what isn't clear, is your location. A LOT of issues about incalls versus outcalls versus hotels or private residences for both incall and outcall depend on location. Sps in Vancouver don't typically provide incall in a hotel. Sps in Edmonton are easily available in massage parlours for full service. Sps in Montreal may expect the client to rent a hotel room, even if he has a private residence, specifically for their encounter. Sps in Vancouver will typically charge a fee to provide an outcall session, with a minimum of one hour, with the expectation the client will cover her travel cost/time. Sps in Toronto may not, because the expectation is that in Toronto incalls are not normally provided by any sps. Agencies are very reputable in Toronto, but not so many with even an OK rep in Vancouver. So working out of an agency depends on your location, as to how good an employer they will be for you, and their interest in helping to keep you safe. I am making general comments here, based on nothing in particular, but the fact is location can make a difference even to the letter of the laws. Some cities require escort licensing to work without LE interference, others do not. Some cities are reference friendly, meaning the clients assume and are ready to provide references to any sps, as screening. In other cities, this is not normally done, and so an sp who does require it may get some very puzzled responses. Same thing goes with services. In some areas, some rates/services are considered 'the norm'. In others, higher rates, and more restrictions are expected. There isn't a rule that you have to provide bbbj. The general rule is that you are up front about the services, the rates, and that you remain consistent and honest in advertising. I see a lot of younger clients, and they are neither more nor less interested in a PSE style or a bbbj service than older guys. I see many of this type of guy for non full service, like massage and hj, so again, there isn't any hard and fast rule about what guys want. You won't know what guys want until you post an ad and start hearing from them about what they are looking for. Expect a lot of nuisance calls and emails. If you want to screen by email, fine, but it can't replace a phone call screening. For one thing, a woman pretending to be a guy can't disguise that on the phone. A teenager pretending to be an adult, can't disguise that on the phone either. A lot of new sps get fooled by fake bookings. If you plan to be alone and naked with a guy, don't rule out the phone as well to check their gender, age and sobriety. You can't google an email address to see what comes up, but you can google a phone #. You'd be surprised how often a really bad date guy uses the same phone # to book appts with sps. Without a phone #, you can easily find yourself making a trip for a fake booking, or getting ripped off, or scammed in many other different ways. If taxis are your only way of getting to an outcall appt, you will probably be better off working out of an incall. or hooking up with an agency.

I just have a hard time understanding what kind of excessive time demands any sp has that they can't reply to a phone call or email themselves. If the emails are excessive, like more than 3 back and forth, that says more about the need to put a cap on these exchanges, not hire an assistant. If the sp is traveling a lot, and can't access or do simple confirmations, or maybe even making the travel arrangements is time consuming, then sure. But for the interaction with clients, the reason we go indy is because of the connection we personally make with clients. Otherwise what is the point, the whole thing could be automated. Ads can be put on automatic reposting on different sites, contact forms could be set up to auto reply, emails the same thing, a generic answer. maybe the calendar can be interactive, a client puts in the day and time required, and both sp and client show up at that day and time without any further need to communicate? lol

re: extra 10, made me lol. I did have a persistent caller at one time, always calling, never showing up even after booking and before the days of --60 to block nuisance callers. By the 3rd or 4th call asking rates, I added 20 bucks. Then the 6th call, I added another 20. Today, just for you, the rate will be $160 for that, lol. Hey I thought it was only 120. It is, but that was 5 phone calls ago and 3 no shows, even when you said you are 6 blocks away. Next time it will be 180, then 200, and so on. re: just a hj, yes, it is about more than just a hj. And this goes back to the push for time based services over service based rates. When I started it was 100 for just a hj, 150 for just a cbj, and 200 for just a FS, all of those service based rates were expected to take place under half an hour and one shot

It is a mistake to rely too heavily on technology for sure. Even texting everything, like for this biz, can lead to problems somewhere down the road. fwiw, border security does not need your permission to go thru your cel phone and laptops. You would be required to give them the passwords. This usually refers to a foreigner entering a country, so a US or other coming to Canada, or Canadian going into the US for example. The written word is proof. And saving proof on a phone or computer can lead to real problems.

What a great trip, I have also always wanted to go. I have an old friend who moved there after university to work as an interpreter and never left. I don't have any advice either, but it is a small country, unlike here, you can cover a lot of distance in a short time. I would for sure get on a train and see the sights from that perspective.

I wasn't surprised by the grand prize, i expect it to be much lower. I expect the 2nd prize to be a lot lower than 50,000 tho, maybe 10 to 20 tops at 25,000? I have no idea what possessed them to do it in Toronto in the winter. They don't even have a slim chance of doing anything outdoors, and they have built the set completely to be indoors anyway, fwiw. Alot of what makes the US one interesting is that regionally different people coming together is more dynamic. New York people are different than Texans who are different from people from California or Las Vegas. It is difficult to find such regional differences in Canada, to that same extent at least, or to the extent of making it interesting. I do think however there will be more black people in the Canadian version, and possibly someone asian, but probably not. I expect to see the older guy, the nerdy guy, and other traditional 'characters', but a lot of what makes up Canada are actually different cultures, not these standard BB characters so much. I will watch but probably would be more interested if they were able to do the show and show this mosaic at the same time.

Basically you can't use pm to book a last minute appt. The chances that any sp will be here on the spot to respond that way is slim. Last minute appts always need to be set up, for first time callers, by phone, not even text, imo. And don't just call once and give up. I can't count the number of calls I get when I am in the laundry room, or busy in an appt, someone calls one time, and that is it, gives up forever really. If you want to reach someone, you call back a couple of times, not in a stalkerish way, but at regular intervals, and/or leave a clear message. A lot of texts may not even get received, makes sense to use the phone the way it was intended if you really want to set something up same day short notice.
