Back at the Studio

The host of the show is sitting in his seat, sitting across from a timid young woman.

"So, you must be wondering why it's just you sitting here. That's because we have sent the other contestant home." He says ominously.

The young woman anxiously shifts in her chair.

"The votes are in." He continues. "You managed to earn... 44% of them. Your opponent earned 56%, making her the victor, and we thought we'd spare her the awkwardness of looking you in the eyes as you learn that your fate is to become a disgusting hardcore porn star for the rest of your working life."

The question is, of course, who is he talking to?
