One of the locations was a millionaire's house in Covina, where the designer had built him a Disneyland-inspired playground swimming pool, to the tune of $800,000, and seemingly themed 'Pirates vs. King Arthur At The Scene Of A Runaway Mine Cart Incident' . The true horror of this thing is hard to convey in pictures. It wasn't quite finished yet, but was described as the owner's dream 'home vacation space', was built from very poorly rendered fibreglass and contained a deep pool, a jumping platform that was atop a 'crows nest' on a fake ship's mast, a 'lazy river' - (an orbital channel with a constant gentle current), a water slide shaped like a huge hollow fibreglass tree trunk, bridges galore and an electric powered water cannon, that you could fire at people. This cannon was working.
That's not smoke, unfortunately. That's his mist generation system.
Oh, in case anyone reading this doesn't already know. Reality TV is scripted. Sorry sis. It can go in the file with professional wrestling and prison bum sex as activities that hold a universal truth that everyone prefers to deny.
Allow me to introduce Coco Chanel, the designer's puppy. She was mad cool, but she got shut away in a room for most of the shoot. She was too real.
