"Oh, hey Chris, I managed to secure those one hundred alligators you wanted. Can't wait for the new contestants to run into them." Chris recognized the voice over the phone as Reno Noir. One of his... suppliers that provided him with everything he needed to torture the contestants and keep the ratings high. Usually, Chris would be delighted to hear such news, but he really couldn't, given his situation.
"Yeah, that's great, Reno. Shame that I'm not going to be on the show to use them." Chris got up and began anxiously pacing. Thinking of all the things that would be lost if he didn't bulk up quickly.
"What?! Why?! What do you mean by that?!" Reno yelled over the phone.
"My swimmer bod isn't cutting it anymore. The audience wants super buff hosts, and if I don't bulk up quick, the producers are going to fire me! You wouldn't happen to know anything that would help me bulk up, would you?" Chris asked. Surprisingly, it took a while for Reno to respond. All Chris could hear was the shuffling of papers and a few taps on a keyboard until Reno eventually did respond.
"...Okay, I can't make any promises, but I might be able to get something to help you out. I'll contact you tomorrow if everything goes well, Chris."
"Wait!" Chris started to yell before the Reno hung up. Well, guess there wasn't anything he could do except wait until tomorrow.

The next day, Chris was waiting for Reno to contact him when he heard the doorbell ring. He got up and opened the door to find his supplier standing there with a bottle of pills.
"Yo, Chris, everything worked out perfectly! I managed to get this bottle of experimental pills. One pill per day, and after 5 days, you'll be the buff stud that producers want you to be." Chris took the pills and squinted at them. Nothing was written on the bottle except for "Growth Pills," in Reno's handwriting.
"Hmmm, is this safe? No, side effects, right?" Chris asked.
"Well, since this hasn't been released to the general public, I can't say what effects it will have on your body. The muscle part is guaranteed, though. Who knows, maybe it will make you taller too."
This was going to be a big decision for Chris. Usually, he would happily accept anything from Reno, but that was when it was used against the contestants. This was going to be used on himself, which made him more apprehensive. Should he take the pills and risk any unforeseen side-effects, or should he find another way to bulk up?
