The competition was heating up, and Audrey could feel the pressure mounting. Despite her best efforts, she still hadn’t caught a single fish, and the odds seemed stacked against her. Meanwhile, Kate’s group was riding high, with Ryan effortlessly catching fish and Kate rallying her fans for more likes. Audrey could only watch from the sidelines, drenched and discouraged.
She glanced at Catherine, who was leaning against the tree, looking completely unaffected by the situation. Catherine’s indifference was both a source of comfort and frustration for Audrey. While Catherine remained cool, Audrey felt the weight of the viewers’ criticism.
The comment section was relentless, with fans focusing their ire on Catherine’s apparent lack of participation. Many viewers were quick to judge her for not helping Audrey, but Catherine remained unfazed, her expression blank as always. She was content to let Audrey handle the spotlight, even if that meant enduring the public scrutiny.
As Audrey continued to struggle, Nick and his brother, who were on the same team, couldn’t help but express their concern. Nick’s quip, suggesting that Audrey should ask Catherine to help her catch fish, was met with a calm, yet resigned, response from Audrey.
“I’m fine,” she said, her voice carrying a hint of weariness. “My sister’s already done enough today.”
Her words, though composed, didn’t mask the disappointment she felt. She wanted Catherine’s help, but she also didn’t want to burden her further. She knew Catherine had already put up with enough, and Audrey didn’t want to seem needy or helpless.
The cameras caught the tension, and the viewers quickly picked up on it. The comment section buzzed with even more speculation, with many users wondering why Audrey wasn’t getting the help she needed.
[“Why is Catherine just standing there? She should be helping Audrey!”]
[“This is just sad. Audrey is trying so hard, but it seems like no one cares.”]
[“I don’t get it. Why isn’t Audrey asking her sister for help?”]
[“Catherine’s so cold. It’s almost like she’s ignoring her.”]
As Audrey continued to fish—unsuccessfully—she couldn’t help but feel the weight of her fans’ expectations. She had hoped for more support from Catherine, but she also knew that Catherine didn’t operate like everyone else. Catherine’s indifference wasn’t a sign of disdain; it was just how she was. Audrey had to accept that, even if it stung.
Despite the mounting frustration, Audrey held onto a small spark of hope. She knew that sometimes, things took time. Maybe, just maybe, her luck would change, and she would catch something before the competition ended.
But as the camera lingered on her empty fishing basket, Audrey couldn’t help but wonder if it was already too late to turn things around.
