Psychological Control

Chapter 34

God View. America's Next Top Model airs to the final episode of Brian's appearance.

"The sound of crisps being crushed.

Hannah sat in her living room with a large bag of chips in her hand, watching the latest episodes of America's Next Top Model without blinking. Because of the proximity to the end of the university term, the deadlines for the various report papers, were concentrated in these weeks. So she had to set her home TV ahead of time to record the few episodes she couldn't watch on time.

"Brian's the perfect, don't you think?! Look at his sexy and wicked red hair, I told you there was no way the judges could do anything to him! He's synonymous with HIGH- in person!" On the phone with the speakerphone on, it was the voice of Hannah's best friend Iris.

"Geez, I know! Will you stop dramatising with me." Hannah muttered angrily.

"...Okay, okay, say where did you see it? See the part where Blair is in the personal interview, talking about coming out?" Iris was a loyal viewer of America's Next Top Model who stood by the TV on time every time to watch, so the episodes that Hannah had taped down had long been watched over and over again.

"Iris!!!" Hannah called out her friend's name even more angrily as she was once again dramatised. But not a moment later, she turned to sigh, "Ugh...it's true that a man as perfect as Brian can't be straight."

At this point the model makeover challenge on TV was just about complete and the camera jumped to the supermodel house. The models were whispering in private, all having questions about Brian's sexuality.

"Maybe Brian is trying to hide his sexuality and trick the audience! The result? His good friend Ashton poked him out!!! HAHAHAHA!!!" That was the sound of Dan gloating. It wasn't just the female models, this explosive news was being discussed even by male model Marvin's small circle. And the photographer following the scene faithfully recorded it.

"Wicked, Dan is so annoying!" Hannah couldn't help but say to her friend on the other end of the phone when she saw this, "He was the one who started the confrontation with Brian earlier too, and even though the cameras didn't capture it, everyone knows all about it!"

"Yeah, he looked like an underground street punk." Iris's voice on the other end of the line became indignant too, "The quality is just not good! Rude and without any sense of fashion, what makes this guy a finalist in America's Next Top Model?!"

"Um...um..." Hannah responded with her mouth full, but her face changed back to a focused demeanour. Her eyes were fixed on the TV without moving.

The episode of America's Next Top Model that was on the TV went into the judging phase and Brian was called to the front of the stage, then the big floor-to-ceiling screen showed hard pictures of Brian in the very same, horny, master-slave theme that had been the most talked about issue on the internet.

Wow...Brian is a real piece of work...and what a match for Jamie! Hannah was secretly smitten on the inside, but she didn't dare to say it out loud to irritate her best friend. Because the Brian cp on the internet was now split into two camps, one for Brian Chris and one for Brian and Jamie. And Iris is the standard Chris faction.

The second cp, Jamie Brian, came about because of this hard photo of the master slave theme. So Hannah didn't think it was wrong to be taken in a cp direction.

However, the next time she saw Chris and Brian's actions in front of the camera, Hannah changed her mind again. Just seeing Chris' ugly face as the cameraman chased down Brian for having to call another man called Mike during his five minutes on the phone.
