"Gusher" Mike does it again. Hard on the heels of the Spot Picked SUABM!14 comes SUABM!17, which is even better. The double-teaming of Dee and Tabitha Stevens with two guys starts things off with both heat and star power. After that, it's a well-shot, well-edited collection of 19 scenes, 12 outdoors in the sunlight, in a trim 113 minutes, with new faces like Nature Blossom and Melodey Love cheek-by-jowl with veteran talent like Gina Rome and Teri Starr. Even better, Mike will throw in curve balls like C.J. Bennett's scene with a big-screen TV behind her repeating the image back into a blue infinity, or Lola on all fours drinking out of a dog dish and playfully pretending to raise a leg to pee on a wall after her scene. The final scene, with McKayla stopping a jogger to blow him, ends with him pulling up his pants and forlornly walking off, adding a poignant touch - the jogger probably would have wanted more, too. Pre-nom for Oral Feature, and this early in the game the one to beat for the 2001 AVN Awards. The gauntlet has been thrown.
