The mansion, while it could indeed still be called that due to the excess and grandeur it contained, was located in the country as opposed to on the beach or clustered in some neighborhood with other stately homes. It was instead perched on the edge of a quiet lake and surrounded by forest on all sides. It made for a peaceful, secluded locale. This might've been due to the adult nature of the show, the controversial nature of the show (see the previous point), the picturesque location, or some combination of all three. Either way, the contestants had all been shuttled here and told to settle in for the night. They were only told two things by the producers before the camera crew left;<br/><br/>One - the first match would be the next day and the fighters would not know who'd be fighting until just before the match.<br/><br/>Two - the host would be by at some point during the night to mingle a bit and hold some invertivews to get to know the contestants and capture some choice sound bytes.<br/><br/>The contestants, of course, didn't believe for a second that the cameras had really been turned off. There were hidden cameras all over the mansion, some more obvious than others. It was to be expected; being filmed 24/7 was part of the contract. The sacrifice was worth the trouble, though, as the mansion was absolutely exquisite. It's outside boasted a small dock, and outdoor patio area with a barbeque, firepit, hottub, and even a small basketball court. Balconies on both sides of the house provided second floor rooms with excellent views of the surrounding forest. The interior was designed in such a way that it all felt very warm and inviting, multiple rooms decked out with fireplaces and other cozy features. The inside boasted a full kitchen, expansive living area with an enormous television, a den with a bar and a pool table, and every bedroom had all the comforts of home.
