#### Exclusion of Clubs

Several Clubs were excluded from the show from announcement, due to them being unsuitable for filming.

* Firewater Glasgow; Firewater was deemed too awkwardly built for Filming and has no real V.I.P. seating area, so it was turned down.
* Buff Club; Buff was also turned down due to it's design and lack of space to film.
* The Shimmy Club; Shimmy was included during Season One and Two, however, the roof is very low and the Club is fairly small so MTV decided to stop filming in the club.
