Agreed! Very sweet puppy! Very bad sound quality.
This house really is MUCH, MUCH smaller than the one in Denver. The kitchen, dining room and TV room look about condo size or townhouse at best.
Budget cuts are a bitch...

I agree that with bad sound for a segment like this it was all pointless. They should have had several mics around the table as what they were saying was the whole point of this video. No problem with the concept, but rather with the execution. And the new house is no mansion on a hill in Denver. The economics of today suck. lol
I agree with you guys that the difficulty of many of these unscripted BTS vids (as in a non-interview style) has to do with the quality of the sound and mic-ing. I am also becoming hard of hearing unfortunately. So when you have several people talking over one another, along with an annoying timer that's loudly ticking away, it's frustrating trying to follow conversation. Some games are a fun participatory sport if you're part of the group playing, while not making such a good spectator sport. This is one of them.
I found myself at times (out of a little bit of frustration) focusing on the furnishings and the layout of the house more so than on the models. I agree that beautiful Bella stole the show. lol I was very impressed by Levi's knowledge of history. I'm impressed that the group recognized and knew the story of Nixon. Levi even used the word "synonym" which surprised me for his age. lol
I feel for Sha trying to come up with good ideas for relatively unscripted moments where we can see the guys hanging out off-set that would be entertaining and/or informative to watch. I give him a lot of credit for trying. I'd have to give the end result a C on this BTS. I don't feel we learned much about many of them that was new. The closest we got to that was where Sha asked direct questions like, "Which one of you guys would you say is the most ___?"
I think a far more productive way to help Sha help us (and by "us" I mean all of the membership. Not just the handful of people in the forum) ...is to come up with and offer other good ideas for future BTS's. When I thought about it, it's not that easy with a group of 6 or 7 people.
Can any of the rest of you think of any good ideas that would either be entertaining or informative to watch the guys do on their off time?
Filming them watching tv? Nah!
Filming them sitting around texting on their phones? Double Nah! lol
Watching them play a game of cards like poker? No thanks.
Watching them play pool? Nah!
Watching them play Monopoly? No.
The only kind of game I thought be interesting/informative to watch them play would be something like Cards Against Humanity. And even then, the acoustics, sound and the personalities involved could either make it a success from a spectator standpoint, or a failure.
I also don't know what the guys typically do in the evenings or in between shoots that would be entertaining for members. Maybe there really isn't much lol
But getting back to basics is some of the things that Sha has already brought up in the past. We love to hear things like, Model A will only eat yogurt with Oreo sprinkles for breakfast. Model B is one of a family of 10 kids. Model C has a peanut allergy. Model D is adopted. Model E is diabetic. Model F plays several musical instruments. Model G speaks 3 languages. Model H is an expert car mechanic. Model J has a sister who's very sick in the hospital. Model K is excited about getting a new car. Model L has A.D.D.
Letting us in on things that personalize the models for us as real people doesn't have to mean individualized sit-down interviews in the same format as the "Getting To Know Model A" series. Plus there are things members might love to get updates on for some of the models for which a one-time "Getting to Know" vid would not suffice.
So in closing, can any of the rest of you offer Sha some other ideas for possible BTS vids?

The game of Poker sounds good to me, if it is Strip Poker. lol
Many good points in your perspective, Tampa.
I know that Sha frequently asks the question: "Where do you: 1. want to be (or) 2. see yourself - in five years?"
Am thinking that might be an interesting question and could lead to some interesting dialogues with others adding questions of their own regarding another model's response or give prompts that might help another model focus on the question in a "at the moment" realistic way. I'm guessing some of them have not thought about "five years from now".
I was surprised at Kaden Alexander stating he is currently the manager of some company. Didn't know he'd been taking classes - or, perhaps he entered as at one level and has worked his way up the proverbial ladder? Still, that takes drive and commitment to accomplish. So, maybe the question in such a group setting might be - "What do you hope to accomplish in the next five years?" which focuses on revealing if they have dreams or plans that are beyond what they are currently doing (porn).
As far as Levi understanding and using the term "synonym" I hadn't noticed that. As a teacher of grammar I would expect every 8th grader to understand and be able to use that word. Is that a ridiculous expectation? Has our education system become that skunky that they don't know the basics of language and how to express one's self? If you're going to play a game such as the one they played, they should know that they can use synonyms instead of the word to give a hint! No? (I don't want to lower my expectations!!) Perhaps a forward-thinking and commander-of-the-langauge model like Abram is rare.
