Scenario 1 & 2.

Average joe visit your site. He looks at all thumbs and then click on one that he likes. He already know what is going to happen.

This is much better. Average joe visit you site. He looks at all text links and find a hot description(in the niche he loves?)..he then build a little expection before he click that link..so he get hot when he see that this expection match all pictures in in the gallery.

Thumbs is boring..text sells

I am going to have to agree with you. I use the Thumbs Preview format on NICE DOGS http://www.nicedogs.com

To compare, SKANK THUMBS http://www.skankthumbs.com has a combination THUMB PREVIEW sample, where 3 thumbs are displayed from each Cat.

The text Links get greater clicks than the thumbs, towards the top of pagfe.
