Callie's POV

My dad lead me to the docks where camera men's are setting up their equipment and meet the competitors for this competition. To be honest I'm really nervous to meet them, some of their auditions we've seen were scary but some are nice. A camera point to me and I squealed, hides behind my dad.

I heard him chuckle a bit and felt his body turn to look at me, "it's okay you won't be out till all the competitors are here". He gave me a soft smile and I smiled back then get up. It's hard to believe a short men is my dad, he kinda looks like a 10 year old raising a teenager. I'm not going to lie it's kinda funny to see him pout and whine sometimes at Uncle Chef when he put items in high shelves.

I gave a kiss on a cheek to my dad then walk out of the camera, I'm so glad it was cut off. Then the camera man starts the camera and watch my dad starts his intro like a host would do. Gotta say he's really good at it, seems like those host shows is rubbing off on him.

As he walks almost at the end of the dock, I hesitate and run to him then pull him close. He chuckles, "and this beautiful girl right here is my daughter, Callie McClean. She'll be my co-host and assistant for this show". I look at the camera and wave nervously at it, "H Hello..". "Anyways let's meet the competitors, who will be spending their summer here.. We kinda lied about the resort they'll be spending" he chuckles as he smiles at the camera, I let out a small sigh when he said that then let him go.

The boat that brought the competitors arrived and I started to feel nervous, but I must remember that my dad and Uncle Chef is here with me at all time. I stand up straight a bit and sees the first competitor, I believe her name was Beth. Beth ran to my dad and hugged him, "it's so nice to be here with the real Chris McClean and his daughter, hi!". I waved at her a bit then she stands next to me excited.

Sooner or later we met the other competitors, they were really nice and gentle. Till this one person came on the docks.. Heather.

She scares me ever since I saw her audition, I squealed myself a bit

She scares me ever since I saw her audition, I squealed myself a bit. She took off her sunglasses and glared at the people on the docks, including me. I hide behind my dad when she walks off the boat and get on the dock. "Heather, nice to meet you" my dad said but she completely ignore him then she looked at me, "you've got to be kidding me, shes your daughter how sad". I look down on the ground, "hey chill girl she didn't do anything to you" Geoff said.

Heather rolls her eyes and join the group, I sigh quietly to myself till I felt something holding my hand. I look down and it was dad holding it, "hey it's okay, you can go back in our cottage if you feel uncomfortable around here" he whispers to me. I shake my head slowly, "I I'll stay". He smiles then another competitor came on the dock, he doesn't look bad just a little punk. He walks to me and My dad then smirks, "Yo Chris who's this beautiful lady next to you". "She's off limits don't even think about it Duncan" My dad glared at him and he shrugs, "whatever you say short stock". He walks past us and he winked at me. I hide my face in my hair a bit, hiding my blush.
