Chapter 3 — Round 1
“Ok Tammy, as you know we have five rounds here. In the first round you have to open 12 cases, the second 6 cases, the third 3, the fourth and fifth rounds are 1 case each to see if you win the billion dollars or not. I need 12 numbers from 1 to 24 from you right now.”
“Everyone knows that Jack! And it really doesn’t matter as it’s all fake, so let’s start peeling back this onion with case number 22.”
“Chrissi, could you please open case 22 please?” Jack called over to her and she wiggled her way over to the case, the audience watching closely to see if the too-short dress would ride up her hips. Impossibly it stayed in place and the audience seemed disappointed.
Chrissi opened the case revealing a bimbo symbol.
“Well things are starting off spicy already aren’t they Tammy?” Jack said with a grin on his face.
Tammy rolled her eyes and let out a little huff, “Now I’ll show you what’s real and what’s not!” she replied.
“Alright, now on to the first category! Which is of course Hair! And the four voting options are? Blonde Bomb, Curly Cue, Braided Bum, Over the Top! Ok folks, as always use the pads on your armrests and vote for which one you want.” Jack said as the options appeared on screen.
Tammy smiled, it would be easy to tell it was fake and show the audience and the rest of the world.
“Well the audience has voted and the winner is? Braided Bum!”
Tammy felt the Collar of Fate around her neck start to vibrate and she reached up to touch it just as she felt something coming down the back of her neck. By the time the collar had stopped vibrating, she could feel a long braid of hair running down her back all the way to her ass.
“That’s right everyone, Tammy’s got a nice long french braid of hair that stretches all the way down her back! No more short haircuts for her!” Jack said and Tammy reached around and grabbed a hold of the hair that was now attached to the top of her head.
She pulled it around to see it was the exact same golden blonde that her short hair was, but perfect in every way, no split ends, no damage, or anything. She gave it a tug and it seemed firmly attached.
“Well Tammy, what do you have to say about the Collar of Fate now?” Jack asked.
Tammy frowned, “Well... I don’t know... it can’t be my hair... you must have attached it somehow when I wasn’t paying attention... like when I was focused on Chrissi opening the case!”
The audience laughed and giggled but she refused to engage with them.
“Well, alright I guess. If that’s what you think Tammy. Either way, I need another case number from you so we can continue to ‘trick’ you with our ‘gimmicks’.”
Tammy tried to reduce her frown and then looked over at the cases, “Ugh... well, how about case 19 then.”
“Chrissi, if you would...” Jack said and smiled over at Chrissi.
“Like, would what?” Chrissi replied with a confused look on her face.
Jack rolled his eyes and chuckled, “Open case 19 Chrissi... case 19.” he repeated very slowly for her.
“giggle Sure Jack, like, anything for you! giggle” Chrissi replied and then opened the case.
“Oh Tammy, a second bimbo case!” Jack enthused with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
“Yeah, whatever Jack. It’s my voice this time right?” she scoffed in his general direction.
“That’s right, and the categories this time are... Whisper Quiet, Irish Drawl, Valley High, and Pause for Effect! Audience, if you will be so kind...”
The audience quickly got to work as Chrissi opened and closed the case she’d just opened a few times, seemingly in awe at the possibility of opening and closing a case.
“Alright, the votes are in, let’s see what the audience has chosen... Whisper Quiet!” The audience let up a huge cheer as Tammy raised an eyebrow.
“I see you’re not familiar with that one Tammy, so let me explain. This will reduce the volume of your voice significantly, in fact, your normal speaking voice will be little more than a whisper, with the top of your volume range being just under a normal speaking voice. Apparently the audience isn’t a big fan of what you’ve been saying so far.” Jack said with a chuckle at the end.
“Yeah, ok, whatever. It will just be some trick in the studio, some kind of noise-cancelling system. I’m sure as soon as I leave it will be back to normal!”
“Whatever you say Tammy... if the technical team would activate the Collar of Fate please!”
Tammy felt the same tingly/vibration as before and then it was gone.
“Anything you’d like to add Tammy?” Jack asked.
She parted her lips and spoke, “Not really Jack...” she started and could barely hear her own voice, it was an impressive trick for sure.
“Hang on a sec there Tammy... perhaps the boys in the back could turn up the volume on your mic so we can all hear you...”
Tammy frowned and waited a moment before continuing, “Not really Jack, we’ve all had noise-cancelling headphones, that’s all this is done at a room scale.” she said and this time the speakers in the studio make her voice sound almost like it had before.
“That’s better Tammy, but as you say, just a trick, so why don’t we get on to the next case number?” Jack said and the audience gave a laugh as he did.
“Sure Jack, how about case 14?”
“You’ve got it Tammy. Chrissi, if you would open case 14 please?” Jack said, emphasizing what he wanted Chrissi to do this time so there was no confusion, at least no more than expected, for Chrissi.
Chrissi giggled and moved over to case 14 to open it, revealing a cash symbol.
“Congrats Tammy, you’re on the board!”
“Great, thanks Jack, a whole one cent.” Tammy replied.
“Well it’s a start, but like any journey, we need to take the next step, so if you would?”
“Fine, case 24 Jack.”
“Alrighty then Chrissi, please open case 24!”
Chrissi dutifully did so to reveal another cash symbol.
“It looks like you might be on a roll Tammy! That’s a whole ten cents in your pocket so far!” Jack said with a chuckle at the end.
“Can you even buy anything for ten cents Jack?” Tammy asked, her voice still sounding very soft to herself but being amplified by the studio speakers. She had to admit it was an impressive effect, it almost even fooled her, but she knew better.
“I’m not sure, Chrissi, what do you think?” Jack replied.
“giggle Like, I think you can totally buy a car with that much money Jack!giggle”
“Oh Chrissi, that’s why we love you so much here at the show... you just love any shiny little bobble, even a dime!”
“giggle Yeah, like sparkly! giggle”
“Well, now that we’ve determined, that in fact, you can buy pretty much all of Chrissi attention with a dime, what’s your next case going to be Tammy?”
Tammy gave a little snort of disgust with the dumb blonde act that Chrissi was milking for everything it was worth, “Let’s go with case 10 Jack.“
“God one Tammy, you’ve got it! Chrissi, please open case 10 for us.”
Chrissi opened the case to reveal another cash symbol.
“That’s three in a row Tammy! You’ve got a whole one dollar now! I bet you could buy a whole lot more than just Chrissi’s attention with that much money.” Jack said turning to the audience and giving his best Groucho Marx impression. The audience roared to life with laughter, whistles, hoots, and haulers.
“God, you’re such a pig Jack.”
“Well, yes, but all men are really. I just have the good fortune to be able to have a job where I get to embrace it.” Jack said with a sly smile that felt like oil and grease to Tammy.
“But enough about me, today is all about you and what your next case is going to be.”
“Fine... how about case number 23.
“23 it is... Chrissi...” Jack said and Chrissi giggled and stood there smiling until Jack gave her a little wave of his hand and the audience laughed in response.
“Oh, that’s your third bimbo case Tammy! This time the category is, of course, Lips!”
The audience cheered and Jack let them settle down before continuing, “The options are... ‘O’pen for Business, Lickety Split, Fire in the Hole, and Heart Shaped Pout! Audience if you would...
Any thoughts on the choices Tammy?”
Tammy thought about them for a moment as the audience entered their votes, “Well Jack, I’ve read on the Internet that the lip category is all done with the makeup you applied to my face before the show. Somehow it’s activated at the right time and gives a temporary effect for the cameras.”
Jack just laughed and shook his head, “Well, whatever you say Tammy. But the audience has voted so let’s see what they’ve chosen... Heart Shaped Pout!”
The audience roared once more to life and Tammy just couldn’t believe how gullible they were.
“Alright, please activate the Collar of Fate!” Jack said and Tammy felt the now familiar feel of it. She could feel her lips tightening up and a little warmth in them. She reached up and touched them and could feel them form into a slight pout.
“As the audience can see...” Jack said as the monitors in the studio switched over to a closeup of her lips, “Tammy now has a slight pout with her lips forming a nice little heart shape as they do.”
Tammy looked at the monitor in shock, the effect was very real, with what looked like red lipstick on her lips to emphasize the effect. She reached up to try and brush the lipstick off but it didn’t budge at all.
“Shit Jack, that’s really well done, is that lipstick a digital effect or really on my lips?”
“Audience?” Jack asked as he turned to the audience.
“On your lips! On your lips! On your lips! On your lips!” the chat from the audience rang out.
Tammy just rolled her eyes again, wondering how long they’d practiced the chant before the show.
“Sure, whatever guys. Let’s get on with this Jack, I want case number 8 next.”
“You’ve got it Tammy.”
This time Chrissi had finally gotten into the groove of the show and jiggled her way over to the case and opened it without being asked.
“That’s another bimbo case Tammy! That means it’s time for our fourth category... Body Shape! This time the choices are... Corset Trained, Flaired and Funky, Heart Shaped Bottom, and Tipped Forward!”
Tammy let out an “ugh” that caught Jack’s attention.
“See something you like there Tammy?” he asked.
“No... but I think it’s obvious what the choice is going to be. I mean, couldn’t you guys at least do something original instead of the same trick twice?”
Jack laughed and smiled, “Well, I can’t disagree with you on that one, it does seem like the audience is going to pick something that fits in with their previous choice. But I assure you, there are no tricks here! Well, maybe if you give that dollar to Chrissi... but we can’t televise that kind of trick.” Jack said with a chuckle at the end. Chrissi giggled at the attention and waved to everyone in response as more hoots and haulers came from the audience.
“Well you were right on Tammy... Heart Shaped Bottom is it! If the techies would please activate the Collar of Fate once more!”
Tammy felt the collar come alive, but this time instead of staying around her head she felt the vibration moved down her body and onto her butt. Much like with her lips she felt it warm up and start to tingle. By the time the screens around the studio show her butt, it was no longer flat and flabby, but tight and round that seemed to pinch in at the inside of her legs, giving the impression of a heart shape to it.
She reached around and grabbed one of her ass cheeks and gave it a squeeze, “Shit Jack, this is some impressive stuff you’ve got on the show. I bet you could actually sell it, assuming it lasts for more than the half hour or so it takes to film this travesty.”
The audience went from cheers at her grabbing her ass to laughter at her assertion.
“Well I guess we can’t fool you Tammy, so why don’t we just move on to your next case choice?”
“Sure Jack, whatever. How about case 15.”
Jack waited for Chrissi to open the case and then beamed a smile as it revealed another bimbo symbol.
“Well you had three cash cases in a row, and now you’ve got three bimbo cases in a row! It only seems fair, don’t you think?”
Tammy shook her head, “Whatever Jack. This farce won’t last much longer.”
“As that may be, we have another category... Breasts!”
The audience went wild at the announcement of their favourite category and Tammy just looked down at her breasts and sighed. It might have been nice to actually get some slightly larger breasts, but that wasn’t going to happen here.
“And the choices are... Pointing to Heaven, Toys for the Boys, Botched, and Up and Out!”
It didn’t take long for the audience to make up their mind and soon enough Jack was talking again, “Well, by nearly unanimous vote, the audience has chosen... Up and Out!”
Tammy raised an eyebrow, this was sure to be an obvious trick from her viewpoint! Jack continued, “If the technical team would please active the Collar of Fate...” he said and then waved over to where Tammy was standing.
This time the collar vibrated and she felt pressure on her chest, and before her very eyes, she felt her breasts start to push up and out from her. They didn’t stop until the poor small fabric of her top was barely holding on.
“Holy shit Jack, how... I mean, is it some kind of inflation system in the top? They really feel... real.”
“Do I detect a little bit of doubt in your voice there Tammy?” Jack asked with a grin.
“Don’t get so full of yourself Jack, as soon as I get back to the dressing room and pull this thing off I’m sure it will be obvious how it’s done.” she replied, pointing at the thin white top she had put on earlier.
The audience was going nuts, some calling out her being a bimbo already for denying what was obvious, some telling her to keep it up, and some just gawking at her inflated breasts.
“Well then Tammy, what is your next case going to be?”
“Case 2 Jack.” she replied with conviction.
“Alright, case number 2 it is... and it’s a cash case!” Jack said as Chrissi opened it.
“That means you’re up to ten dollars Tammy!”
“Great, I can finally buy a coffee... maybe.” Tammy retorted and Jack just smiled.
“Well, if you want a sandwich with that coffee you’ll have to choose another case...”
“Sure Jack, how about case number 6.”
“You got it, Chrissi... oh, that’s too bad Tammy, your sixth bimbo case.”
“Whatever, it works for me Jack, just more evidence that this is all fake!”
“Alright then, this time the category is... face! And the choices for the audience are... Expressionless, Wide Eyed, White as Snow, and Rhinostone Glitter! Audience, please make your selections now!”
Tammy looked over the choices and wasn’t sure what the audience would pick. Her eyes were already pretty wide, and she never tanned or anything so her skin was pretty pale, but that left the other two.
Before she could figure out which was more likely, Jack started to speak again, “Well the audience is on a role, with the majority picking... Expressionless!”
A cheer came up from the audience as Jack called for the Collar of Fate to be activated once more and Tammy felt it come to life. Like the first several times, it stayed focused on her face and she felt her entire face go numb.
“Well Tammy, want to give us a smile or raise an eyebrow again?” Jack asked.
Tammy tried to do both, but found herself unable to do either.
“I hope you haven’t permanently damaged my nerves Jack! What was it, some kind of microwave-activated numbing agent in the makeup?”
Jack shook his head from side to side, “Oh Tammy, it’s the nanobots of course!”
Tammy just rolled her eyes, as that seemed to be all she could do now, as Jack continued.
“Ok Tammy, two more cases in this round, what is your next case going to be?”
“Fine, if you’re not going to be honest with me, give me case 17.”
“Great choice Tammy, that’s your fifth case, you can afford that sandwich now!” Jack said as the screens in the studio flashed $100 across each of them.
“Ok Tammy, just one more choice left in this round... what’s it going to be?”
“Case 20 Jack.” Tammy said as Chrissi made her way over and opened it.
“That’s another cash case Tammy! Great work! That gives you $1000!”
Tammy smiled, or at least tried to get her face to do so, but to no avail. A grand would come in handy to pay off some of her credit card debt, and who knew, by the time she exposed the show, maybe she’d get a book deal or something!
“Ok Tammy, that’s the end of round one, and you’re pretty much smack dab in the middle of it. Six bimbo cases, and six cash cases.
Now it’s time for The Accountant to do his work and make you an offer.” Jack said, waving toward the shadowy man above the main boards of the game.
As they waited, cheesy suspenseful music played in the background. It wasn’t long before The Accountant returned with his offer.
“I have to say Tammy, The Accountant isn’t very impressed with you so far, he’s very disappointed you haven’t changed your mind about the show even after...” Jack said, waving his hand up and down Tammy’s body.
“Well, I’m not impressed with him either, so that makes two of us.” she replied definitely.
“Ok, well, I have to admit, this is a first for the show... The Accounts offer is... If you admit the show is real... he’ll let you jump right to full-on bimbo right now, no further changes other than the final bimbofication.”
Tammy tried to laugh as hard as she could, the sound even came out but looked so strange with her expressionless face and pouty lips.
Jack waited for her to calm down a little before continuing, “I’ll take that as a no then? And that you want to continue on to the next round?”
She managed to get a hold of herself, “That’s right, a definite no to the offer and yes to the next round. I’m so going to expose this bs...”
