The Tickle House

Episode 3

Giggle Challenge 3

As the contestants gathered in the yard for GC3, they were greeted by an unexpected sight: TK and TQ in cropped tees and shorts, a stark departure from their usual formal attire.

"Contestants," TK proclaimed, "Today is all about the belly!" The contestants exchanged puzzled glances, but the outfits began to make more sense with TK and TQ's toned midriffs on display.

TQ provided some clarification, "For the next three Giggle Challenges, we're going to focus on popular tickle spots, with each day emphasizing a specific area."

TK chimed in with a mischievous grin, "And for Belly Day, you all get to wear special outfits!"

The contestants were sent inside to change, and they returned in some revealing gear. The women sported tiny shirts and shorts featuring the phrase "TICKLE HERE" with an arrow pointing toward their exposed bellies. The men's outfits were even more attention-grabbing; they had "TICKLISH TUMMY" scrawled in marker across their chests, complete with an arrow pointing downward. To complete the look, they were given pink short shorts, adding to the embarrassment.

Amidst laughter and amusement, TQ unveiled the challenge's name, "Belly Battle." The rules were as follows:

The contestants will reach up and press down two buttons on the bar above their heads.

TK and TQ will go to each contestant individually and perform a belly tickling method that will last 30 seconds.

If the contestant is able to hold both buttons for the full 30 seconds, they earn 2 points. 1 point for 1 button. 0 points for 0 buttons.

There will be 3 rounds total.

The contestant with the most points will be declared GCW. The contestant with the least points will be declared GCL.

TK followed with a surprising twist, "Second, third, and fourth place will also receive a special prize." He also reminded everyone that as outgoing GCW, Preston was ineligible for this challenge.

The contestants took their places, arms up, buttons pressed, and bellies exposed. The method for Round 1 was announced by TQ, "Raspberries!"

Zane was up first and he looked worried, "Gahahahahaha," he hollered as TQ started the proceedings. TK followed, pressing his lips to Zane's chubby belly. Shockwaves were sent through his midriff as right hand jerked down to protect himself. He was able to keep the left one on the button and was awarded 1 point.

Cheyenne was next. TK blew a raspberries on her ribs that poked through her stretched skin, then TQ placed one below her outie belly button. "Argahaha," she gritted, but held on for 2 points.

Raven and Daphne were mostly unfazed by the raspberries. Daphne worked through a grin, while Raven looked bored. 2 points were awarded to both.

Neither Natalie nor Marina could secure a point as the raspberries almost immediately made them jump backwards.

Finally, Hoss was only able to keep one hand on a button as the raspberries were too much for his big, but muscular belly. 1 point was awarded.

"Round 2," TQ announced, "is Sides Squeezes!"

Hoss was first this time as TQ grabbed right above his hips from behind and TK grabbed right below his ribs from the front. They went to work, pinching and squeezing the large area on the big man's body. "HA HA HA," his laugh reverberated through the yard. He couldn't hang on and was awarded no points.

TK and TQ took the same position on Marina. They dug in and Marina yelped and laughed as heartily as Hoss, but held strong. She was clearly extremely ticklish, but enjoyed the tickling. 2 points were awarded.
