Cast members say they can't live in a normal house anymore after having their way with these hip digs.

Brooke, 24

Favorite room: courtyard. "I love the sun, so being able to lay out and just relax was a lot of fun."

I love: "The pool, Jacuzzi, chairs to lay out on."

I hate: "When the kitchen would get very dirty and gross because people would not clean up after themselves."

I wish I could take home: "The Jacuzzi. And I love the paintings — a lot of them were gorgeous."

Current home: shares two-bedroom apartment with roommate in Studio City, Calif.

Colie, 22

Favorite room: "My bedroom. I felt like I had my own little world, even though we were definitely doing communal living."

I love: "How it's so open. You never felt isolated."

I hate: "How it's so open. Because it did not lend a lot in the way of privacy."

I wish I could take home: "The Jeep bar. I would drive it out of the house and drive it home because it's the coolest thing I've ever seen in the world."

Current home: parents' five-bedroom house in New Jersey

Jenn, 22

Favorite room: "The phone room. It was decorated the most intricate. The false windows made it look like it was snowing outside, so it really felt like being in Colorado."

I love: "The color. Everything looks alive all the time."

I hate: "The backyard. I'm not a big basketball fan, so I was hoping we could replace (the basketball court) with a huge swimming pool. All seven of us couldn't fit in the small pool."

I wish I could take home: "My bed set, the down comforter. And the paintings and artwork."

Current home: three-bedroom condo shared with her mother and sister in Martinez, Calif.

Alex, 22

Favorite room: "My closet. We've got a skylight in our room, and if you try to sleep in past 10, you just can't do it. So I slept in the closet."

I love: "How Colorado it is, the outdoorsy feel and the art."

I hate: "How dirty it was the whole time we were here."

I wish I could take home: "The artwork, the beds."

Current home: three-bedroom townhouse in Tempe, Ariz.

Tyrie, 23

Favorite room: "The space between the refrigerator and the counter — you get some nice coldness from the fridge."

I love: "How it's fun. A lot of fun has been had in this house."

I hate: "The fact I couldn't shut the door if I wanted to."

I wish I could take home: "The Christmas tree, so I wouldn't have to worry about buying one. And maybe one of the fish."

Current home: townhouse shared with friends in Lincoln, Neb.

Davis, 23

Favorite room: Conversation area/stairway. "With the ski lift, Christmas trees and the deer heads everywhere, it's definitely the most impressive."

I love: "How you're so visually involved with it. You're always discovering new things. It's a lot of fun to just walk around and check everything out."

I hate: "How it's so big, because the phone would ring and it would be really hard to get downstairs to get to the phone. I would always miss phone calls."

I wish I could take home: the Jeep bar.

Current home: basement of his father's three-bedroom mountain house in Georgia

Steve, 22

Favorite room: Phone room. "I have a girlfriend (in Washington, D.C.), so it was a long-distance relationship."

I love: "How open it is and how many different things there are inside, like the pool table."

I hate: "Not having the ability to turn the lights off and on. You're taking a nap during the daytime and you can't just reach over and turn the lights off. And having to come all the way downstairs to use the phone. And having to share a computer. That's a lot of hates."

I wish I could take home: "One of the iJoy massage chairs."

Current home: shared dorm room at Howard University, Washington, D.C.
