I have to agree that I couldn't quite get the point of this BTS. I thought the guys would be making thoughtful or humorous comments to what was being presented on the show. Instead it was just an odd jumble of random comments and answers that seemed almost painful to elicit from the assembled models. The audio was terrible. At times there were so many random private conversations going on in the background, that the whole setup didn't lend itself well to understanding what one or more models had to say about
Vadim Black's show. I appreciated that the interviewer kept asking the guys to speak up and repeat what they were saying. That was very helpful and considerate of the audience. Because the mic seemed too far away to pic up soft or mumbling voices.
The models looked very bored and even put upon to do the BTS. I have to tease David a bit because he posted a pic on twitter saying that he couldn't have conversations with his fellow models because they were always on the phone ignoring him. Then in this BTS scene he has his eyes and attention focused squarely on the phone most of the time. lol At 5:28 I can't make heads or tails of what's being said. It sounds something mangled like, "Scan or eat it"?? I think Jessie said it because the camera panned to him. But I don't know.
I appreciated that Chandler responded to some of
Vadim Black's comments about taking all those supposedly awful pills. His response though, brief as it was, seemed rambling and often for me at least, incoherent and unintelligible. At the end of it I wasn't completely sure what points he was trying to make. I
think was trying to say that most of the
Broke Straight Boys models use those same drugs without problems. Or
do the other models have problems and bad side effects with them? And I think he was trying to say that
Vadim Black's characterization of them as "poison" was entirely wrong. But it's not like he ever came out directly and said that.
I did think it was cute the way the guys had a blanket across their laps on the sofa. lol I wouldn't have minded being snuggled up tightly against a few of them. haha
As far as whether I was going to like the vid after the whole thing was said and done,
that was answered in the last 5 seconds. After struggling most of the time to hear what the models were saying, struggling to hear what
Vadim Black was saying on speaker phone, etc...one thing that could be heard quite well came at the very end as the scene faded to black. One of the models says very clearly, "I gotta take a shit first." I was just like, "Eww. Gross! Did I really need to hear that just as I'm winding down to go to bed?" Whoever did the editing on the vid could have done all of us in the
Broke Straight Boys audience a huge favor by sparing us from that bit of over-sharing.
The idea itself for this BTS vid was a very good one in theory. It had some great potential. But the execution was flawed.
