That thread will contain the comments, actions and remarks of the public and on the show Internet forum. Unless specified otherwise, there will be no direct interaction between the public and the contestants, although suggestions might be taken into account by the Producers.]<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">The Escape Duel Show</span></strong></div><br/><strong>Jack Cruelson, show anchor</strong><br/><br/>All of a sudden, the arena, which had been enveloped into darkness, became the target of countless spotlights. It was a circular area, whose circumference was occupied by what looked like a running track delimited by transparent walls. However, the track itself was still remaining in the penumbra while the centre stage was brightly lit. All around the arena, rows after rows of excited spectators were converging their eyes on the most awaited show of the year.<br/><br/>In the middle of stage stood the superstar anchor Jack Cruelson in a sparkling black costume. As he lifted his arms to welcome the public, a loud cheer echoed through the arena.<br/><br/><strong>"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the Escape Duel Arena!"</strong>he announced, smiling brightly as his words were acclaimed by a new thunder of cheers and applauses.<strong>"You know the principles of this show: we pick the two most famous and acclaimed stars of whatever domain and we make them compete to win the title of World Star. Tonight, we are going to witness a terrible fight, a competition of willpower, skill and stamina. Tonight, we have invited the most skilled, the toughest, the most beautiful escape artists of the World! Please welcome the two Queens of Escapology, the two Giants of Bondage, Miss Louise Richtbinder and Miss Felina Pan Teer!"</strong>
