This might just be my own thing of adding backstory to things I should just let be, but I was wondering if I was the only one that watched WAM videos (the pie fights, especially), and even though the models who usually work on them know each other, etc, if it added something to the scene if it seemed like there was actual tension between the two of them. Oddly enough, I'm not a fan of seeing it the one-time it actually came across in a scene (the Pievids video with 4 women where one of them just intentionally tanks the scene and legitimately goes after the other 3). But for example, the first Vika v. Amy mud wrestling match, there was a one-off line about how there had been some tension after their "Customer is Always Right" scene, and it made the scene seem that much better.
Or, in my own example, anytime Charlee Chase and Christina Carter used to do a scene, I figured that since they kind of occupied the same "character type" in their videos (kind of above-it-all, kind of cocky...), that there was a sense of competition, making the couple scenes they did together have that much more of a (totally made up) edge.
I don't know, I might be alone on this one, and I'm sure that actual examples of women on these shoots not getting along famously is probably uncommon, but is the general preference here the idea that the women in the scenes are actually friends in real life, or that there's the slightest bit of realism in those smashes to the face?
All I know is that if a girl smiles as she is about to get hit, that ruins the scene for me. The smile indicates she is having fun and there is no room for fun in humiliation.
Obviously, I would hope they are not enemies, but I can see how some real-life tension could make the scene better.
Right, right. That was more what I meant. You don't want to outright hostility between them, just enough to see that, like you said, they aren't smiling as they're hit with it. Like the Slapstick Stuff video with the two sisters, or the one with the two roommates where Rich had to add parts to the script where they were hitting each other more, instead of having the pies come in from off-screen. That kind of stuff.

I want to frame this and put it in my house
You can spell "humiliation" without "fun". But you can't spell "fumiliation" without "fun".
Fumiliation = def. the art of ruining a humiliation video by the participant appearing to enjoy themselves & having fun Causes the customer to fume
Agree with Bozo: a lot of wam videos are ruined by fumiliation. But, perhaps some customers are into that instead of humiliation. So, maybe the video is not a mistake.
