I can't find any thread on this over here (if there is, then the mods can delete this) I wanted to know who is competing this season and succeeding Eva Lovia. The only one I know for sure is Ella Hughes, who already has a banner up on her Twitter
I'm not surprised that this is a thing again, but I'm interested to see what comes out of it. Last time we got 2 g/g performers jumping into b/g and getting a contract out of it (people recognize Eva, but Abigail Mac ended up with a 6-8 month Mindgeek contract as well). And if they can at least make it look like a fair competition this time.
Maddy O'Reilly is IMO the most renowned name, also Ash Hollywood, Teal Conrad... plus some girls who have been a while in the biz and are still a lil bit "unsung" (e.g. Hope Howell, Kimberly Kendall, Sadie Santana) and then rising newcomers, more established (Cassidy Klein, Samantha Rone) or less (Josie Jagger, Piper Perri, Elektra Rose, Gwen Stark u.a.) Some of the more recent Spiegler girls too, with Aria Alexander, Yhivi, Savana Styles (Maddy O'Reilly is one too, of course). Edited by - Quorrl on 9/30/2015 6:37:00 PM
^ I think, if they can swing it, they're going to want someone who hasn't done any (or very much) b/g before the contest (Like Eva and Abigail), so that they can be in control of the majority of their b/g scenes. And of that list, Darcie Dolce is the only one I recognize as being a g/g performer.
While it probably would be great for her I really, really hope Cassidy doesn't win. I honestly don't want her under contract with DP for a year (?). Well, MindGeek and Digital Playground have probably picked the winner already...
It is amusing how fans will be hoping their favorite doesn't "win" the contract. For me, the worst possibility last time was Eva winning and ,of course, she did. Maddy O'Reilly would make no sense. She's done it all, nothing would seem fresh. Just looking at the list, maybe Veronica Vain. DP stories have plots and she could handle the dialogue. Plus, she has an interesting back story. Samantha Rone and Kendall Kayden are popular cuties and should get plenty of votes. Might be a good thing for Teal Conrad, she has faded out of porn sight.
Looking at how Manwin operates, they will probably pick a girl who has a good/decent following, but hasn't been around the block in terms of working with other sites. In other words, they want to lock down a popular, rising girl before she blows up and keep a monopoly on her. Ella Hughes, for example, wouldn't win because she is pretty much a monopoly with Mindgeek in the US (the only top American company to shoot her is Brazzers and Digital Playground, who both shoot in Britain) so she is nearly exclusive even if she doesn't win. The same could be said of any of the European contestants. I would say one of the less active rising pornstars like Gwen Star, Aria Alexander, Nikko Jordan or Yhivi are highly possible Edited by - Xhakorudan on 10/1/2015 3:43:00 PM
I agree with you. I wrote my opinion in the "Penelope Lynn aka Julia Rae" Topic. A Contest should be fair from start to end and not a rigged game from the start on. Knows someone of you who are the leading Ladies?
So they started filming this already...I wonder if the winner of this season will do a scene with the last season winner as a way of passing the crown, lol. I know it's rigged, but at the same time it is interesting to watch.
I think Darcie Dolce will win. Then on Darcie Dolces Twitter the Fans are going crazy. Someome posted if she will win the Contest she will doing BG. Her GG Fans are sad that she changed her mind. And the haters that she is doing it all about the money. Looks rigged again for me just like Season 1. Edited by - TheWatcher on 10/27/2015 6:56:30 AM
Im torn on the thought of Teal winning it. She really doesnt deserve it. She basically has taken an entire year off from porn after only one year in the industry. Would be a shame if she got rewarded for that with a DP contract. But then, an entire year of Teal DP scenes would be better than no Teal scenes.
I wrote it looks rigged for me. Then a relatively unknown Girl in the BG world is the leading one. Nothing against her. I can't Remember exactly at the last year voting but there was something wrong. Edited by - TheWatcher on 10/29/2015 4:57:41 AM

Well August Ames was pissed off about it and I think I read she wanted nothing to do with it on twitter when she was tagged in a tweet by DP.
To hashphish: Do You mean this Tweet from August Ames https://www.twitter.com/AugustAmesxxx/status/652597908408176640 We will see who will be the Winner and getting the DP contract for 1 year.

yeah that one but she also said for them to un tag her i believe in another.
To the whole rigged topic: Last year, they did public voting for the top 6. When the closed the voting page, Eva Lovia was in 4th place and Veronica Rodriguez was in 3rd. When they announced the final 3, Eva was included and Veronica wasn't. Then, the night of the announcement (which was made at the end of a live show that Eva got the most attention in), all of the judges went to dinner with Eva, and the other two finalists (August Ames and Alexis Adams) were nowhere to be found. That, and Mindgeek's fuckery with the Twisty's Treat of the Year competition, is why everyone is fairly sure that the whole thing is rigged, and they've probably already decided who's going to win.
You would hope that this year, they will have gotten better at hiding their shenanigans. For so many girls to be clamoring for this, there has to be some kind of upside right? It seems it works best for G/G performers looking to crossover. Without that hook, it loses a lot of appeal. Because if a B/G performer's output dropped that much, it would only hurt her career once the contract is up. Well, based on what August Ames says, it's at least a helluva a learning experience about the industry.
I also think this year winner is already chosen. And the contest is only a farce. To Aya I agree with the GG Performers who crosses Over. The best example for me are Eva Lovia. If Darcie Solce ein so goodbye GG. Then the Companies can release Darcie's over 20 GG Scenes. Then for me are GG Scenes from Playground GG Scenes are waste of time. The Girls are but the Scenes are not. Just like last year. Mindgeek already done it last year with Season 1 and with the Twistys Treat of the year Contest. We will see who and how The Performer wins.

DP STAR contest is a success because we talk about it here and the girls promote it on twitter. Vote for me, vote for me. Fixed or not, fans care who wins. I'm hoping we don't lose Samantha Rone and a couple others to DP. That makes me pay attention to the company, something I normally wouldn't do.
To aclayfan: You are not a Fan of Digital Playground. Me too. I watched a few GG Scenes from Digital Playground and these for me are very boring. That is not the fault of the Girls, they are sexy. To Aya At the end of the year i think. Edited by - TheWatcher on 11/1/2015 11:54:49 AM
It looks there is something changed by the contenders. The last time i watched the contentast list. Darcie Dolce was the first on Site 1. Yesterday i looked again and now it is Jojo Kiss the first on Site 1. Darcie falls down (maybe while she says no BG for the competition)

So does anyone know why some (like many) girls are no longer on their list for new DP star? I remember that Maddy O'Reilly was on the list, so was Kendall Kayden (was certain she will be on the list as her sister did few scenes for DP already), some Cam girl newcomer forgot the name, and few others also. Did DP decided against them and picked who they wanted when more applicants came, or was there some sort of voting who should get a chance to go to the judges or something? (even though I myself also believe it is rigged since start like last season, I mean come on, 5 girls to pick and when they picked them they said, although we picked the top five we couldn't leave this one out aka Eva Lovia, then the top 3 where she was 4th suddenly passes into top 3 on some magical way. The judges and dinner thing on the final day. Yea, kinda stinks of rigged.)
^ a lot of girls were taken down. I think the Kendall sisters decided to retire. Yhivi was also one of the contestants. It's probably rigged, but I'm still watching it :P Most likely it is a girl that is high in demand, but hasn't "worked" in too many studios. someone who has a lot of followers, but hasn't shot many scenes.

Seems like they removed a lot of the teens...maybe they want a MILF winner this season since a teen won last season.
Day 2: http://www.digitalplayground.com/dpstar/seasons/season2/episodes/44051/auditions-part-2/ Contestants: Aria Alexander, Alice Lighthouse, Fallon West, Holly Heart, Daisy Monroe, Karmen Karma, Dallas Black Final 2: Aria Alexander and Alice Lighthouse Winner of Day 1: Luna Starr
Despite it being rigged I'm still glad August didn't win as we would have been deprived of quality content from her for a year. Eva will now be back on my radar now that she will be shooting with other companies, or so I hope anyway.
Did she really say no B/G? How the heck did she think she would stand a chance with no B/G, unless she's just doing this for exposure. Anyway, it's sad they aren't even trying to hide the obvious rigging going on with this.
To Aya She wrote it on Twitter, but can't finde the tweet. You can also read her the interview in the adultdvdtalk interview section. She means she will doing only BG if she win The DP Star Search. If she not win then no BG. And the fans are getting crazy. They posted Tweet that all have to vote for Darcie so that she have the chance to win and doing BG for Digital Playgeound. I am courious about The audition on monday. I have a feeling that Darcie is one of The two winners. Again i still thinking there is something wrong Just wrote Darcie was Long time on the First Site ans on number 1. Now she is on Page 3
^ I don't think the pages are in any real order in terms of ranking the contestants, at least right now. So her moving to page 3 doesn't mean she's behind the other contestants.
Ahh, so Darcie is dangling the B/G carrot in front of fans, diabolical. I guess the gain in B/G fans will more than offset the loss of the G/G ones. And the fans who vote for her will want to see her doing Anal, dp's, and hardcore and rough sex scenes with certain performers, but they won't get that with Digital. And after she does a small number of vanilla B/G scenes, her contract will be up and she can go back to G/G. Genius.
If Darcie is doing this purely for exposure, I don't know why she thinks she has to. She only has to look at the careers of Vanessa Veracruz, Celeste Star, Ryan Ryans, Taylor Vixen and Shyla Jennings and more recently Jenna Sativa to see that being a G/G only girl can be successful and that the notion that she has to switch to B/G to elevate her status isn't the be all and end all.
^Yea, but the harsh truth is that it takes more than big boobs to make it as a G/G only star. As Abigial Mac said "B/G is about performance, G/G is about Passion." Any hot chick can get some attention doing G/G for a little while, but if she isn't good enough she won't last. It's a lot easier to have a successful career by going B/G. And Darcie IMO is not on the level of the ladies you mentioned.
^I agree with you Aya, she is not at the level of those ladies yet as she is still very new, but I genuinely believe she has the looks and body to go all the way as a G/G girl and be just as good as those girls, if she really wants to. I don't know about you Aya, but when I look at her I see a lot of similarities with Vanessa, almost sisterly like.
I agree with Aya and Lezlover. Darcie could be becoming a good GG only like the Girls who Lezlover mentioned. I watched her 2 WhenGirlsPlay Scenes these are good. If she wins the Star Search, the GG only is done for a year. We can talk again on monday when her audition are over. Edited by - TheWatcher on 12/6/2015 11:07:59 AM
Part 3 of the Auditions: http://www.digitalplayground.com/dpstar/seasons/season2/episodes/44061/auditions-part-3/ Winner of Part 3: Darcie Dolce and Olivia Austin This is only my personal Opinion: I watched the Auditions and for me it looks so rigged, the other Girls were much better than Darcie (nothing against her) I don´t know what you thinking about that. Edited by - TheWatcher on 12/7/2015 2:16:34 PM
To Lezlover It was only a Interview with Q & A and a Solo Show. Eva asked her at the End if she is ready to do BG Scenes. Her answer: She is thinking about it and it is not a "No" or a "Yes" The best is you watched it yourself and then you can judge. Edited by - TheWatcher on 12/7/2015 3:35:52 PM
