“Only one mistake again, Britney,” Frank announced, “I see that you were really serious about the preparation.”

“Of course,” the contestant replied with a grin, “the risk should be calculated, but not unnecessary.”

“Said like a true gambler,” the host winked, “draw one transformation card, please.”

“Tattoos. Oh dear.”

“You don’t like it?”

“Tattoos are even worse than your jewellery and can’t be taken off. I can tolerate a small aesthetic tattoo in a discreet place, but I’m sure that these tattoos would be anything but discreet. They would make me feel constantly dirty. I would like to discard this transformation.”

“As you wish, Britney. I just want to point out that once again you’re behaving completely differently from the rest of our contestants. Please, draw two new cards.”

“Eye-sight Correction and High Heels. Wow! You can fix my eye-sight? That’s incredible!”

“Of course we can. Have you even seen a blind bimbo?”

Frank made a short pause, but Britney did not laugh at his joke, so he continued:

“What do you think about high heels?”

“I have mixed feelings about them. I have almost never worn high heels in my life and when I had they were five centimetres at most. I’ve been tall enough without them. I’m aware they make the legs and booty look sexier, so I’m not against that change. I guess we'll simply see how it turns out.”

“I’m certain that you’ll enjoy them,” Frank replied, “and there’s no need to worry about your height. Models are tall and everyone likes them. Please, enter The Chamber.”

Britney patiently waited as the device worked its magic on her. She could once again feel becoming tall, but because it was caused by high heels the balance of her body also changed. Soon the door opened and she could see herself on the screen. More importantly the contestant could see everything else clearly, even though her glasses were gone. Her vision seemed better then with any kind of glasses.

“It’s amazing!” Britney exclaimed enthusiastically, “is my eyesight going to remain like this?”

“Yes, it will,” Frank replied, “at least for the years to come. Old age might still make you far-sighted, but that has been pushed away in time significantly.”

“That might be the best news!” the contestant was smiling, “one eventually gets used to glasses, but it feels so… free to be able to observe the world without them.”

“We share your joy. What do you think about heels? They’re not so bad, aren’t they?”

The camera made a close-up of the shoes. They were fifteen centimetre tall stilettos, but tailored in such a fashion that they fit with the rest of the sporty outfit without looking trashy.

“Yes, indeed,” Britney replied, “they feel really natural and surprisingly comfortable. Although I see the world from an even greater height now.”

“Would you mind giving us a little spectacle of your newly acquired skill?”

“Not at all. Everything for the show,” the contestant replied with a grin.

Britney strolled along the stage in a model-like fashion. She was amazed by her own skill. Her entire life she had worn almost solely sports shoes, but The Chamber taught her to walk in high heels in a blink of an eye. It was a fun new experience. Of course Frank and the audience were not interested in the contestant’s skill as much as in her body. Despite her age her toned legs and buttocks were still sexy, now enhanced by the tight leggings and heels they look exceptionally hot. Without being transformed too heavily Britney quickly became a ‘MILF’. The contestant made two lengths across the stage and returned to her post. She had to admit to herself that she enjoyed swaying her, still narrow, hips to the sides in her new shoes.

“Thank you for the presentation, Britney,” said Frank, “you’re a natural.”

“Thank you, Frank. You’re too kind, after all I didn’t learn this skill I got it for free in the chamber.”

“But you worked very hard to obtain that body, didn’t you?”

“Fair point. Thank you.”

“Are you ready for the fourth round?”

“Yes. Asian Countries.”
