She was unhappy with this arrangement since gawking tourists kept dropping by to snap photographs and generally disrupting the daily operations. Now, based on a mobile platform, the Watcher enforces an exclusive access policy. | Prior to [[meta:history:seasoni|Season One]], the Watcher based her operations in a physical location called Despair.

| Access to the FailBoat is limited to contestants who have failed miserably in [[places:jungle|jungle]] fights. Such failures don't make for a very good TV show, so the Watcher's minions haul those contestants to the FailBoat overnight for 'retraining.' Retraining mostly consists of letting the contestants jump into cages of monsters, kept as pets because the Watcher likes their particularly vicious natures, below the decks. There, contestants can build up 'favor' by amusing the Watcher.((Hint: Beating the monster to death with [[lordbuckethead:you|your]] fists is considered amusing. Screaming and running away are not. While you can run away from a fight, the Watcher will penalize you substantially for doing so.)) | Access to the FailBoat is limited to contestants who have failed miserably in [[places:jungle|jungle]] fights.
