"I didn't know if it was going to be possible due to physics and things like that," said Mozersky. "We had to build up from the basement. I wanted it to be sort of monolithic like it grew out of the floor, almost like it was always here."
The roomies can't even escape from the cameras while dipping in the pool: A camera is hidden below one of the jets. "It's more geared toward young adults getting together than anybody doing laps," added Mozersky.
· Confessional. This is the room where the seven strangers reveal their inner thoughts to a small camera mounted across from a fisherman's chair bolted onto the floor. Behind the chair is a wavy textured drywall sculpture infused with changing colored light.
"That's actually the official 'Real World' confessional chair that's been in many seasons," said Mozersky. "You don't ever see it because someone's sitting in it."
· Patio. Not so much patio as hot tub room, with walls made of thin plastic sheeting. There are two entrances. Wooden benches and plants flank both sides.
"I wanted to simulate the outdoors as much as possible considering it's sort of in an enclosed plastic area," Mozersky said.
· Dining room. Next to the patio is a large faux bois dining table. That's fake wood, for all you non-French speakers out there. The "Real World"-ers also have a real wood bar. The walls behind the bar are adorned with cork wallpaper.
"It's like a service bar for the exterior," said Mozersky. "The producer wanted it to feel like a Texas bar."
· Sitting room. The name "sitting room" is more fitting for granny's house, but this space resembles something out of the Playboy mansion: It has one giant circular bed, exposed to all three bedrooms and the bathroom.
"A lot of the creation of the rooms and the architecture is geared toward creating drama, like the orgy room being in the middle of everyone's bedroom so you have to suffer the humiliation of being seen by everyone if you're going to go to that level," said Mozersky.
· Bedrooms. Each of the three bedrooms is decorated with a native flora theme and corresponding decorative mural: thistle, tumbleweed and guava cactus. Two bedrooms have two beds while one room has three -- and a trio of garden gnome-shaped nightstands.
"I wanted this room to be the most fun because you had to actually share it with two people," said Mozersky.
