Building the Perfect Mansion: To complete their remodeling efforts, contestants must finish the downstairs rooms in the latest episode of TBS's reality series “The Mansion” airing Saturday, November 13, 2004 at 10 a.m. (ET/PT). “The Mansion” from Evolution Film & Tape, Inc. (Switched!, Bands Reunited), ups the ante on home-renovation as eight supercharged competitors renovate a Cincinnati mansion that one of them will eventually get to keep. Hosted by Mark L. Walberg (Temptation Island), the series challenges amateur remodelers to work together on home-improvement projects with time and budget constraints while facing personality conflicts, sharing a living space and following the leadership of a new foreman each week.
The downstairs common rooms are the final decorating and remodeling challenge and the last chance for the team to impress the TBS audience before votes are cast to award the Mansion. The project includes the four major rooms on the first floor: living room, dining room, breakfast room and music room. With three days and more than $45,000 to complete this task, the team struggles when the ongoing battle between design and demolition finally erupts into a major war as advocates of each come head to head.
Walberg throws out the final curve ball when he offers to buy out any of the team members who feel like they would rather "take the money and run." He offers a lump sum payout for someone to walk out of the house and abandon the opportunity of winning the Mansion.
TBS viewers will vote to give one of the eight competitors the keys to the newly renovated dream house. Viewers may cast their votes online at www.tbs.com/shows/themansion <http://www.tbs.com/shows/themansion> after Episode seven. The winner will be announced during the finale November 18, 2004 at 10 p.m.
