Now that the location of the jury house in Simi Valley has been located, what's to stop people from sending banners over it while the houseguests are lounging poolside? What could the banners say? "ERIC IS AMERICA's PLAYER" for starters. Or what if someone sends banner with lies on them to taint the jury?

Just thinking. I don't think BB should show the outside of the jury house because it's too easy to locate it when they do.

If banners do fly over the jury house, you can bet that in future seasons, the juryhouse is going to be in some underground bunker like on that horrible game show that was on last year. I can't even remember the name of the show, it was so bad.

So we know the location? I had not heard this.

Simi Valley? My, haven't we gone down in the world!

What is it? We can use google earth to check it out.

lol @ them being in Simi Valley instead of some exotic place.

All the HG thought they were getting an awesome Vacation on a beach somewhere. This is funny!

I don't want banners to reveal AP, I'd rather see their reactions on the show when there are cameras. There's no need to do it in the jury house.

I don't want banners to reveal AP either but it's a possibility given that the location of the jury house is all over the net.

The view is lovely; but the house is pretty non-descript, but large, and obviously in need of work.

And pretty tasteless and cluttered decorating, to be honest.

I wonder which member of the production crew was having trouble selling it and decided to rent it to Allison for a couple of months.

It's an ok house, but what a shock from past sequester houses. This is really 2 funny!

At $8.9 million, I wouldn't say it's non-descript. And "in need of work"? Really? Where?

I think both the upper and lower houses are quite nice. Love the infinity pool, love the observatory, love the atrium!

The design and decoration of both the upper and lower houses are fairly typical California Ranch.

By now, everyone knows where the jury house is located.

Like so many of these estates, these houses are literally nothing more than just big tract houses, built the same way and with the same materials, as one would find in any neighborhood. It is just made bigger than most.

I'm with you, Costacat, I wouldn't mind being in that house with a guarantee of a thousand bucks a week for doing nothing beyond hanging with friends and swimming.

And a rundown little 800 square foot old tear down in some low cost neighborhood would be described in real estate parlance as

"A quaint, traditional cottage, perfect for the creative handyman who wants to place his own signature on it and make it his own."

The jury house is a nice house. But there are so many of these in SoCa. There is nothing really special about it besides its size.

Maybe they chose it so that the HG's would have something to do by spending their days dusting all that clutter.

Danielle, Jameka, and Dick were talking the other night (on ShoToo) and it sounds like the stipend is still $750 a week- isn't that what it was Season 1. Production said "guys please don't talk about production stuff"- so- sounds accurate.

Regarding the house- it says there is a "lower house" too- so plenty of room of handlers- or whoever.

The house is gorgeous! I don't get the putdowns. Compared to my shi&&y little house, that would be paradise to stay in for a month and get paid for it!

SS has id'd the address as 758 Donnington Ct,Simi,Valley,CA 93065. You can google map it. I have no idea if the address is correct. The satellite view isn't inconsistent.

I'm sure the fact that viewers can (and have) found out the addresses to the Jury House is the reason why we had to wait so long this year to see it and the jurors inside. They probably waited this long so that there is less time for wayward fans to think up and execute plans on ruining the show/secrets exposed, etc. For all we know, the evicted houseguests could be in another location by now - awaiting the end of the season next week.

I live about 5 min. from the house and had NO idea that there where any 9 million dollar homes here....It is NOT a tract home by ANY means. It is up a slight hill from and is surrounded by 3 and 4 million dollar homes.

Since I live in this neighborhood, I will only say one thing -- What, why don't you come have a look around, both inside and out, before you start trashing and making such generalizations.

It's not Cabo, it's not Bel-Air (how ironic for Jen to be sequestered in a neighborhood with little cache, as compared to her employer's), but I am just guessing you really have no idea what's actually been built in this area.

Bonza,

I am not trashing it. It is clearly a fine house.

But it is not all THAT special compared to what can be found throughout So CA. It looks like an awful lot of other similar homes in So CA. Nothing particularly original or unique about it. I am just not overly impressed.

And my guess is the real value is in the real estate. 40 acres can be subdivided into a lot of very expensive view lots.

If you are lucky enough to find a big lot out here, you can't subdivide. Not in these newer developments.

Trust me Bonza, the right developer with the right connections will be able to subdivide 40 acres. Even if there is a Specific Plan or some zoning regulation not allowing it, these are easily amended with a couple of public hearings.

(BTW, I work in city planning).
