», front yard, gates.

this is the area that you are first greeted with when you reach the housing for this contest. the gates are made out of wrought iron and are fairly large, almost as if they're hell-bent on keeping their contestants inside, although of course that's silly. the front yard is how a usual yard would be decorated, although of course understandably much larger. there's a long drive-way leading up to the mansion/main house of the grounds with a roundabout driveway. many trees and other plants dot the sloping lawn along with a pond closer to the house. it's a great place for when you just want to step outside, have a breather and think about things... although they'll probably still be filming you, anyways.
