Pete genuinely liked his job, not many people could say that. But most people had a more respectable occupation, Pete was a pimp. He was not a bad man at heart, not entirely at least. He treated his girls reasonably well, he never hit them too hard, but hit really hard those who tried to threaten them. He let them keep a decent percentage of their earnings and even gave them bonuses when the business was going well. And when he used their services he cared for their pleasure as well. Pete was a good pimp.
Pete was also a gambler. He was a decent enough player to beat minor crooks, but stood no chance against pros, and he was not smart enough to realise when he was facing a pro. Thus Pete got into debts, deep debts with the wrong kind of people. Deep enough that his head was at stake. He could not push his girls to earn him such amounts of money and he had no other source of income. But apart from gambling and sex Pete had one more hobby - TV quizes; he watched them all. He might not have been the most educated person (he dropped out of high school), but had a relatively broad general knowledge thanks to all the shows. The quiz with the greatest prize pool was Who Wanna Be a Bimbo. It also involved a significant risk, but as a gambler Pete knew that the greater the risk, the bigger the reward. Since on one scale there was the certainty of concrete boots, this was the chance he had to take.
Pete used to be a good looking man in his youth. Now at forty-five his face was still reasonably handsome, but most of his hair fell out and he shaved the rest. He was tall and muscular (useful traits in his job), but got slightly overweight with age. Not that it mattered much, his girls never complained about his looks anyway. With a bit of luck he though that he should be able to get enough money to save his life and maybe even improve his looks a bit. Of course, like most people, he had no intentions of becoming a bimbo. A bimbo-pimp! That would be ridiculous.
"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen! My name is Frank Trustworthy, welcome to Who Wanna Be a Bimbo! Today with me is Pete. Hello, Pete."
"Hi, Frank."
"Do you wanna be a bimbo, Pete?"
"Nah. That wouldn't fit with my work."
"What do you do for a living?"
"I'm a... middleman. Yeah, a middleman. But I wanna be a top man!" Pete laughed at his own joke, "I need the money for... investments."
"Are there no improvements to your body that you'd like to make?"
"Well, like that guy a few episodes ago I wouldn't mind growing my hair back or losing my belly. But like hell I don't want to get my cock locked in a cage!"
"Correct answers, not all of them though, and a bit of luck might fulfil your wish. Draw the categories."
"European Countries (recognise on map), Italian Geography, Milestones of the Early Modern Era, Caribbean, Metals, Art (15th-18th century), Dogs, Cats, Swords, Space Conquest, Geometry, Recognise tanks."
"Do you like them?"
"Meh. I guess," the contestant replied with a shrug.
"Which category for the first round?"
"Let's start with European Countries. "
Pete was shown a map of Europe and had to tell the name of a highlighted country. Four of the questions were extremely easy, because the answers were United Kingdom, Iceland, Italy, Spain. The other one was a tiny country between Switzerland and Austria. Pete did not know its name, he guessed Andorra and it was WRONG.
"Four correct answers and one mistake," announced Frank, "draw one transformation card."
"Submissiveness. Damn!"
"It won't fit with your work?" the host asked with a wink.
"Not at all. I wanna discard it."
"As you wish. Draw two new ones then."
"Lust Induction and Hair Colour: Blonde."
"Better?"
"I'll deal with the lust at my work easily. He he. But the hair makes no difference with my bald head."
"Be patient. You might get hair extension later."
"I guess so. Hopefully that and not one of those other horrible transformations."
"You mean the audience's favourite?" Frank asked with a grin.
"Yeah..." Pete replied, not amused by the joke.
When he had been just a spectator he indeed loved to see all the 'horrible' transformations altering the contestants. It was no longer so fun with the shoe on the other foot.
"We'll see about that later. For now go into The Chamber."
The contestant entered the dreadful device and closed his eyes. At first he did not feel anything, but when the door to the Chamber began to open back, he felt a rush of heat to his head and tingling in his loins. His cheeks blushed and his cock began to get hard. He had the average seventeen centimetres and his trousers were relatively loose, so the camera could not spot the erection, but his altered walk was noticeable.
"Are you enjoying yourself, Pete?" Frank asked with a smile.
"I... ehm... well, you could call it that," the contestant managed to compose himself, but the colours did not leave his face.
"Will you be able to focus on the questions?"
"That's the kind of distraction I should be able to deal with."
"Pick the category for round two."
"Maybe Cats."
What is the largest species of cat? Tiger. Correct. Clouded Leopard inhabits which region of Earth? Southeast Asia. Correct. Cats' ears are controlled by how many muscles? Hmm... 23? WRONG. The term big cats is used for members of Panthera genus who are able to roar. Which cat is rather large but belongs to subfamily Felinae and is only able to purr? Cougar. Correct. On average, how many whiskers in total do cats have on their little muzzles? I don't know. 12 maybe? WRONG.
"Two mistakes this time," Frank announced, "draw two transformation cards."
"Age Regression and Fetish: Chastity. Oh no! I'm not keeping that."
"You want to discard it?"
"I... what's that age thing though?"
