SOO... true Bonza....your first mention of living here. <100>...I know of many in the entertainment industry have chosen to live here. My mother just moved up to Northern Nevada, close to the Grand Canyon and she is always talking about the beautiful views just driving to the store....and I say "Have you ever driven into Simi? The drive into this valley is something else, especially in the spring.

Why would folks want to take the fun out of the AP reveal w/a banner? It would serve no purpose just a power play IMHO. The worst part is this shows why BB has to hide the homes and can't show us interesting stuff. Am I the only one who finds this VERY sad??? (Not to mention a waste of money that could be put to much better use in a gazillion ways). BTW, I live in an area where just about every house sold is knocked down and a McMansion goes in. I still thought it was a REALLY nice house. JMHO.

I just heard a small plane and ran to my windows. Small plane, no banner. LOL, this could be good exercise. Lexie!

I think it's a beautiful house! It does not have to be in an "exotic" location to be great! It's free and it IS a vacation! <100> I think it's scary that the location is so known!

Even Expensive houses can be ugly.  Not saying it's ugly, just comparing it to past sequester houses and it is rather different.

Sounds like a beautiful area. Much nicer than my view of refineries on the way to work! LOL Kinda freaks me out why people ferret this info out. Seems so stalkerish.

OK, so maybe there is a fourth pool that isn't seen on that tour? Because none of the pools have that rock/concrete slide they showed Dustin coming down face first.. Guess I need to watch the episode again to compare. The house is large and certainly nothing wrong with it at all.. the views are lovely. But I'm sure it isn't what the HG anticipated, which was being on a beach in Mexico. I'm sure they adjusted. Only Jen could claim it was perhaps a step down from what she's used to.

Since we seem to have two threads about this, I'm going to post my post from the other thread here, too. Boy, oh, boy. Only two days since we've seen it briefly on TV and people are plotting and planning to get their hands on the jurors. Why would anyone care so much that they would do that? They're probably not even there anymore, and weren't when the segment aired. LOL

Sea - I had to laugh - they didn't get a beach, they didn't even get the Wine Country. I think every BB sequester house should have a beach.

Clearly it is the same house, BUT the slide just isn't in the pictures which is very odd. Perhaps they actually installed that.. clearly the took out/changed decorations. I'd really laugh if they filmed them in a decoy house and they were actually elsewhere.. NAH... Bonza, I bet they'd love your Tribal Council area and Bonza and Precious would entertain them..

it's clearly a beautiful house but looks really hot .. is it hot there year round? and just not decorated to my taste.. everything's so heavy and dark with not much open space.. but that's just me.. wish they'd show more of the bedrooms etc.. and the other pools? there's more than one isn't there? and btw - yeah i'd still live in it for a paid month vacation.. laughs .. the bar appeared fully stocked!

It's hot in Aug/Sep (hotter than the beach areas). The rest of the year it's cooled by the ocean jetstream, like most of the L.A. area. It's 80 in the shade right now.

wasn't convinced it was the same house. however, after second viewing, i spotted a gray tshirt in one room. then, i spotted several used tissues on the floor. i'm now convinced it's the jury house.

Jameka is going to be so dissapointed that she didn't get a Mexican resort, and why would they need passports? I thought I remembered Dani saying she had to get a passport, LOL.

milos, i was talking about Amber/tissues. lol ----- looking at the house from this angle, doesn't look like more than one pool. maybe production is using on of the other houses (down the hill) and that pool is also used. http://tinyurl.com/2ms5zj

They probably had to have passports because the sequester house WAS in Mexico. When the hurricanes hit, they probably switched to this house as a backup. There's no need to show the outside of the house really. What they might do in the future if sequester house locations become a problem, is simply build a sequester house on the same lot as the BB house. You go out of one house and into another in a controlled environment. It would suck but they wouldn't have tow worry about stalker fans and their nefarious plans.

FWIW, the description said it overlooked 40 acres. Not that it was on a 40 acre lot. Thank you Bonza! I think a 10,000 sq foot house is considerably larger than any house the HGs are living in. I think even the 4,000 sq foot house is larger. They are getting paid to sit around, lay out by a pool, and figure out who to give the money to. It's still a vacation. And if they stopped to think they'd realize... the HGs have been sequestered stateside more often than note lately.
