One night I was really bored and I flipped on the TV. It had been a few years since I'd watched any TV show religiously, and I wasn't even sure there was anything good on. "500 channels and nothing to watch," I mused to myself as I flipped through the channels lazily. But then, just as I was about to give up, I saw a brief scene of two shirtless, heavily-muscled guys locked in a bear hug, apparently attempting to wrestle one another to the ground. It was the opening credits scene of some new reality TV series. As more scenes flashed by - a half-naked man straining to lift a huge bar-bell, a shirtless hunk hanging from gymnasium equipment, and an oiled bodybuilder posing in front of a roaring audience - my interest was piqued.
The credits sequence ended, and the camera zoomed in on a stage where two men in business suits stood holding microphones.
"Welcome everyone to THE ULTIMATE MUSCLE HUNK CHALLENGE," stated one man, clearly one of the show's announcers. He was tall, dark, and ruggedly handsome. His cocky, tanned face started getting me hard. "I'm Alex Matthews."
"And I'm Scott O'Donnell," began the other man. This guy was shorter than Alex Matthews, and a blonde, but he was in my opinion equally handsome. His teeth were very white, and he grinned as he spoke. "This, our third season, promises to be our most exciting ever as we hunt for the ultimate muscle hunk." Third season? How did I never hear of this show?!
"That's right, Scott," said Alex. "This year, the competition is stiffer than ever, as four muscle hunks will take the challenge, and a combination of judges' scores, studio audience participation, and home viewers' votes will determine who will become the ultimate muscle hunk, with a shot at winning a half a million dollars at stake."
"Now let's go ahead and introduce this season's four contestants," said Scott, "Starting with Peter Cox, a 20-year-old male model from Riplinger, Wisconsin." As the announcer spoke, the camera changed to a view of a man, who must have been Peter, walking down a staircase to the stage floor. He was a short-haired brunette man, very handsome, wearing a low-cut blue tank top and matching blue posing trunks, blue athletic sneakers... and nothing else! My cock was hard in my pants as I watched this hunky half-dressed man advance to the center of the stage where the announcers were standing. The studio audience cheered as this heavily-muscled young man walked across the stage. As he reached the judges, Peter flexed his arms in a double bicep pose. His huge arms were amazing, and his spread lats bulged with muscle. The audience roared. A close-up shot of his face showed how achingly beautiful this man was. His high cheekbones that looked like they could cut glass, his striking blue eyes, his tanned, beautiful skin, his short-cropped hair... the man was stunning.
"Welcome to The Ultimate Muscle Hunk Challenge, Peter," Scott (the blonde announcer) said. "The show's producers have put together a short video clip to introduce you to the studio audience and to the viewers at home."
The scene switched to an obviously pre-recorded scene of (unfortunately, fully-clothed) Peter sitting on a weight bench, doing biceps curls with what looked like very heavy barbells, then a tighter shot of him facing the camera. "Hi, I'm Peter Cox, I'm a 20-year-old male model, and I'm from Riplinger, Wisconsin," he stated (unnecessarily, as the announcers had already stated this). Then the scene switched to candid shots of Peter working out and doing a photo shoot. In a voiceover, Peter stated, "Although I'm from Wisconsin, I recently moved to Hollywood to pursue my career in modeling. I spend a great deal of my day maintaining my body, working out, and spending time at the gym." Then a shirtless scene of Peter is shown... fuck he is hot... he's in some photo shoot, posing in a pair of blue jeans and nothing else, smiling rogueishly at the camera. His jeans are unbuttoned, and, although it's hard to tell, and the scene is very brief, there's no sign of his underwear (I couldn't see anything, though). Then the voiceover says, "I hope that this year's experience on the Ultimate Muscle Hunk Challenge will show that a small-town boy from Wisconsin can become the Ultimate Muscle Hunk."
