I have worked with Peekshows since they launched, so definitely not knocking them and in broad terms I like the pantychat concept. But there are some drawbacks in building a pantychat applet into a tour.

1. There is a pretty obvious contrast between the resolution of the (implied) screenshots and the live chat window itself. And that's right now with a fairly decent quality feed running. There are better feeds, but there are also worse feeds when the contrast will be greater. Doesn't do too much for credibility.

2. The girl on there right now is reasonably and conventionally attractive and seems to have woken up some in the past few minutes. But the appeal and entertainment value of the girls varies a lot and those in pantychat are not usually the best.

3. A couple of years back there were regularly 2-4 girls available via the pantychat applet. Now it is usually 1, very occasionally 2 and sometimes (albeit usually for short periods) none at all. They can be anything from a tubby mature to an anorexic punk and everything in between. So there are going to be a lot of times when the model has a distinctly minority appeal and one which may be at odds with the rest of your design.

Just my thoughts...
good fucking post
