Thank you to all the members who give details in the reviews.

I don't care about the ratings since many scores are all or nothing scores.
I don't care about the reviews that say nothing.
I don't care about the review that *****.


Thank you to the members who write something of substance.

Reviews are a joke. Same card can have 0-stars for girl being naked for not so long. And 0-stars for girl being too naked. Also 0-stars reviews with something like "i dont like tatoos", "i don't like big tits", "i don't like her face", "she is not sexy" are so stupid, in my opinion. You are able to check her videos and photos before you buy the card. Don't like it - don't buy it. Reviews supposed to tell you whether or not this card works properly. But not this IMHO-based funny stories.

The worse part about reviews are how they reveal the character of reviewer.
That often makes them someone I would never speak to again.
Except in a forum that is. In person things could get ugly, fast.
In conclusion, please be thougtful of what you write, and pretend your speaking to your friend's friends, and how quickly your circle of friends could evaporate.
Unless of course you're on a ***** march, like so many are these days.
How do fellow ***** stand each other ?
Am I ***** ***** and thereby being a self-loather ?
Where is that rabbit hole ? Ok, I'm in it !

The rating itself doesn’t mean much to me, but I do appreciate when people give details about the show itself. For example, mentioning how many scenes of a show are without stockings can actually lead to me buying a show I would not have otherwise bought.

I remember that the User @Evaneself started a similar Topic in the past with the same Subject,
unfortunately it's not visible any more over his Postings on his Profile, but i think that is not
too much Important for now.

I think more Important is and this is what i'm doing, i'm ignoring the Review Section,
and making my own Opinion about the Shows or maybe i should say:

A Gentleman enjoys and keeps Silent.

And until today i was really really enjoying every single Show ❤️
Currently i have 2212 Shows in my Collection and 409 of them are fully enjoyed for now.
So i will have quiet a lot of Fun and Pleasure for a quiet amount Time i guess.
I'm not worried about that at all.

And bout the ***** ... let them ***** ...

Merry Christmas to you Guys anyway!

I find the reviews and the review average are helpful. Some cards are poor because of poor directing. Some cards are poor because of tired or poor performances. Some cards are poor because of poor quality. These things MUST be pointed out if the product is to continue to provide service and not eventually lose so much quality that it loses its customer base. Totem learns from mistakes but must be open to their mistakes, and only customers can do this. There is a crowd that is afraid to "*****", that will buy every card regardless of quality, and this is not good for the long term survival of the company, as this base of collectors will get smaller and smaller as the product weakens.

Good cards have high scores...

Case in Point: Melena Maria Rya (Evening Rendevous)...4.73..during the advent calendar is an exceptionally high score. She put on an amazing show...high energy..well scripted..well performed..exceptional beauty, exceptional talent..exceptional rating, and great comments. Totem needs to continue to pursue AND PAY for this level of talent. There is no excuse to have girls who can't put on a show that is high energy, well scripted, well performed, and done by true professionals. Remember that each girl is in thier "chosen profession". This is their job, they are being paid living wages to do it, as are the totem staff. The expectation should be the highest quality possibly, and anything less should be regarded as such in a respectful and clear manner.

I pretty much agree with the comments I see here. And I stand my original post.

I was thankful for the posts that have details; not the ratings, not the all or nothing, etc.

I will also look at certain names and know this person has similar likes and dislikes so I can trust this statement.... or vice versa....


Thanks for the reviewers who write something meaningful.

People who put time into the reviews: Thank you

Personally my fave reviews are the ones that allude to the specifics of the show, details which perhaps totem should add to the card bio?

such as:
5 XXX clips - 2 on table, 1 with pole, 2 with toys
1 swing clip
2 barefoot


I tend to find these details help me understand the show before I purchase and allow me to make less of an error. I then look to the personal reviews to how the girls seem to come across, are they smiling lots, do they have energy, is she dull but have a redeeming pole dance that makes up for it?

@Zanga - Christmas Greetings to you 😊

As one of the people who create the more in depth reviews (alongside such luminaries as @zzmaskers and @pantalone) I can tell you that there are two problems with creating in depth reviews.

Firstly - time. We have to watch each show in full making our notes and it is very time consuming so we have to pick and choose when we do reviews and sadly cannot cover all releases. I am a QA reviewer and spend 1-2 hours technically reviewing each show. To then do a quality review to attach to the show will take me another hour as I have to change my mindset and re-watch the show from an "enjoyment" perspective - and I still have to go to work, eat and sleep! 😎

Secondly - this is a personal view - with the way the comments sections were ***** by people chasing the Hall Of Fame laurels and the propensity of so many to post a simple two/three word comment - it is disillusioning and it makes us wonder why we bother. 😰

I've not given up - but I am more selective these days on when I make my reviews - you will see a couple coming soon in my "Pickle's Favourite Shows" thread.

@pickle1 Seasonal Greetings to you too sir!

I appreciate all the reviewers who do the in-depth pieces. In fact, like you, I find the two to 3 word ones completely useless to me so i home in on the larger ones. The work put in to write informative ones certainly doesn't go unnoticed!
