Double-or-nothing maybe, but 10x ?!? With rules 2, 5, & 6 in place, she's sure to win, and then they'd have to lay off our poor director friend to afford the payout!

What about five times then? Felina has had a very hard time escaping in the first session and she will need a strong motivation to try it again. Moreover, she has proved her point and she needs something else to motivate her this time.

Regarding Rule #2, does "reach" mean that the key cannot be inside something that she can reach? Can the temperature of the keys be altered?

It only means that there must be no logical impossibility to reach (touch) the key, either by crawling or contorting. So, no key inside the box they open, or no combination of keys and locks locking each other. Everything not forbidden by the rules is possible.

How about amending 5 so that nothing which causes loss of blood (piercing) is allowed, but pinch-y clamps (for instance) are OK?

Felina is open to remove rule #5 altogether if her prize is at least five times her previous earnings.

Regarding Rule 6, it's probable that the television format must insist on a time limit. What will dear old Mrs. Bottlewhomp think if 'Celebrity Houseplants' at 10PM is pre-empted by Felina (still) flopping about onstage in bondage?

Agreed, as long as the her prize is at least five times her previous earnings.

Felina would like to replace Rule 5 with:

"Rule #5: The temperature of the keys cannot be altered."

(Loving the story -- thanks, Aurelie!)

Thanks!
