Advice that's actually helpful

Unlike many companies, the ODTC still enforced the dress code for employees working from home.

It's all a distraction

Poor Krystal may be worse off than most, but are the others far behind? Mae is blessed with the most sensitive boobies in the bunch, but the producers won't rest until they've discovered every contestant's weak spot.

Victory is its own reward

She can get a bit jealous, so she doesn't share her slave with other girls, but she's quite happy to offer her services to any men she knows. Or, indeed, men she doesn't know at all, if it helps maximize her slave's suffering.

The ones left behind

Leaving the house may not be all bad for Shannon, provided one or more of the women contacting the show can cope with dating a long term locked romantic who's been conditioned to be insatiably aroused by weeks of constant, relentless teasing. Actually, it doesn't sound that onerous when I put it like that.

But the Hypermoderator told me to do it!

If he hangs around the forum for long enough (until I get around to writing another caption, in fact) then he might get some advice that's more creative and less crude.

No, there's no particular reason for an extra post today

April Fool! Eternally Locked Females has safeguards to prevent exactly this type of coercion. TTcBs always unlock at the end of the agreed term and all control codes are automatically reset, so it's perfectly safe to sell your codes on ELF. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

The first eviction

Maybe challenging Tiffani to a bout and then sharing a bed with her that night for a rematch wasn't such a great idea for Roxy. If you're wondering why Natasha decided to conduct the interview in her lingerie, it's either because her previous TTcB settings made her more comfortable dressed this way or because I couldn't find an image that was more appropriate.

Surely this time will be different

Maybe she'd have better luck if she played hard to get. Well, if not hard, then slightly less easy, but it doesn't help when you're climbing the walls in desperation for stimulation you'll never experience.

New feelings awaken

The first elimination is in the caption in two weeks' time. I've already prepared this one, but in future, would you like me to put it to a vote each time, or just pick for myself? I will definitely put the eventual winner up for a vote in the comments.

A taste of denial

She's joking, of course. Pledges never get orgasm gels.

Setting schemes in motion

The next morning, just twenty four hours before the first two up for eviction are due to be announced, the rankings are as follows:

1. Tiffani 1,147,849*
2. Andrea 201
3. Roxy 2
4. Eve -60
5. Bambi -69
6. Cecile -84
7. Shannon -1,438
8. Mae -1,662
9. Steffi -2,405
10. Krystal -33,882
11. Oliva -54,234
12. Anastasia -54,258
13. Natasha -93,629

* Tiffani received a one million point bonus for the extremely rare Twin Perfection achievement: repeatedly edging two opponents precisely simultaneously, with equal hold times and both submitting together, without using any TTcB functions.

The good news for the bottom three contestants is that they'll now get the underdog bonus for beating any of the top nine. Obviously, everyone qualifies for that if they beat Tiffani.

It's worth noting that Natasha is already up to a little over ten years of extra lock time.

A public service

The ODTC takes its charitable responsibilities seriously.

Happy Valentine's Day

I suspect that kuntmalfunktion is more likely to get what she's requesting than wkndrgrtgrl, but that's the benefit of having realistic expectations.

An expensive but worthwhile lesson

There are lots of ways for a player to improve her Pleasure Pursuit score. For example, if you use less of the teasing functions available on your opponent's TTcB than she uses on yours, you score more. The game can end any time after one player edges the other, but the winner can continue to try for extra credit. However, if she gets edged in return, her winnings are reduced. On the other hand, if she makes her opponent edge so hard she passes out or submits before she can edge the winner, she scores extra. There are also various boosts and challenges that provide a bonus when completed, but Tiffani didn't use any here to avoid scaring the other girls away too soon.

I wonder why nobody mentioned it

Her male colleagues appreciated her efforts to keep the girls so frustrated they'd welcome any form of sexual advance, but not so much that they let her cum at the end of her placement before putting her in orgasm free gel, too.

The first night

For those who are interested, the Pleasure Pursuit rankings after that first night are:

1: Tiffani +1722

2: Andrea +27

3: Shannon +3

4: Steffi +2

5: Krystal +1

6: Eve -1

7: Bambi -2

8: Roxy -3

9=: Anastasia -20*

9=: Oliva -20*

11: Cecile -27

12=: Mae -1722

12=: Natasha -1722†

These are relative scores, rather than absolute, as otherwise Tiffani would be unassailable on several billion points.

* Anastasia and Oliva refused to compete, receiving a twenty point penalty.

† Natasha doesn't compete, obviously, so her TTcB is automatically set to the worst result of any of the contestants.

So are all the rest, quite possibly

Of course, he could just use the Antidote Gel, but this way is better for the health of their relationship.

The final line up

The list of contestants is as follows:

1. Andrea (302)
2. Krystal (162)
3. Cecile (211)
4. Steffi (449)
5. Roxy (334)
6. Tiffani (389)
7. Anastasia (402)
8. Oliva (403)
9. Mae (296)
10. Bambi (511)
11. Shannon (472)
12. Eve (500)

The presenter Natasha is, of course, number 335. Thanks to everyone who suggested names.

Stripped of all orgasm privileges

I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere in the fine print of their contracts.

Episode one begins in five, four…

I wonder how many more girls will get drawn onto the denial lifestyle by watching the antics of the increasingly-frustrated housemates. The final line-up of contestants will be revealed here in two weeks' time, so now's your last chance to nominate your favourite or suggest a name.

In reality, the entire television series would only last a few weeks, but at the rate I publish captions, it'll be about a year before the winner is crowned, so I'm going to have to ask you to be patient and I hope it'll turn out to be as much fun for you as it's been for me, writing them so far.
