Fishtank Season 4: The City Revealed

Location:

Swansea, Massachusetts

Season Characteristics & City Connection:

Fishtank Season 4 was filmed in a house located in Swansea, Massachusetts. The season, originally planned for six weeks, was abruptly cut short after just 18 days due to significant legal disputes from all possible shooting locations and the possibility of criminal charges against the production team. Local police halted production, citing numerous complaints about unsafe conditions, leading to the house being condemned by the city for illegal lodging and improper fire exits. This unexpected turn of events in Swansea directly led to the season's premature cancellation, with the $50,000 grand prize being equally divided among the six finalists. The location's legal and safety issues became a defining, and ultimately, concluding characteristic of Fishtank Season 4.
