Walking through the mansion, I realized I hadn't seen that many computers or tv screens in the mansion. When I found the television room, I was interested if Lord Hugo actually had cable, or something completely different.
All that was in the room was a comfy couch and a state-of the-art tv that I would have to pay a leg and an arm to get back home. As I flipped through the channels, I noticed they wern't your standard channels. They all had to do with transformasions.
I decided to turn on the "AR Network" and see what happened.

"Hello Jake!" said a voice on the TV as you sit on the couch. "Welcome to the AR Network...how are you today?"

(Wow, interactive tv. Well, knowing Lord Hugo, I shouldn't have expected anything less...)
"Quite well, nothing to complain about. Ummm, you probably don't get this question very much, but how are you?" I ask the talking tv screen.

"You are correct, I don't get the question very much. I am well...now, would you like to hear how this whole thing works?"

"Sure, tell me how this thing works. What exactly is the AR network?"

"Each network on this television is magical. I can suck you into the TV and put you in any program I wish, pertaining to the transformation you choose...in this case AR...Prepare to make your debut on TV, my boy" he says as you feel the room start to spin.

Nothing could have prepared me for the feeling I got being sucked into a TV. It felt like your whole body went on a roller coaster in a washing machine. As I was transported, I wondered what shows were out there that pertained to AR and how I would be part of it.
As my eyes started to clear off, I realized I was staring at a crowd, which looked like a studio audience. It became obvious to me that as I saw the neon lights and myself on a stage, I was part of a game show!

"Welcome, my friend, to "The Age Show!" Where you compete to get younger!" said the man, now dressed as a game show host.

"The Age Show", huh? Sounds like fun. Of course they had to have the stereotypical gameshow host. "Nice to be here" I saw, excited to see what was going to happen. "What are the rules?" I ask

He smiles..."That's the fun part...you get to make up the rules as you play!" he said. This wasn't like any game show you'd ever seen, but considering you had just been sucked into the TV, you figured you roll with it.
"Round one is up, kid. what are we doing?"

"Making my own rules...that's interesting. Wasn't expecting that. Give me a sec...why don't we play a variation on the show 'The Price is Right'. Most of the squares will say "Lose #" of years, and the highest you can go is 5 years, minimum 1. And then if I land on a Whammy (Darn them...), I lose 6 or more years, depending on what the screen tells me. Does that sound good?" I ask, hoping my rules were clear.

A Game board appeared out of nowhere that was perfectly matched to your description.
"Step right up!" he says smiling as the game begins.

Okay, I was pumped, and ready to do this. As the a light flickered from one light to another, I hoped I wouldn't hit a whammy so I could keep some of my years.
As the light kept flickering, I pushed the button hard. When I looked up, I saw I landed on a...

"Losing three years, not that bad" I say as I feel a tingle going down my spine.
Being 20, it wouldn't be bad being 17 again. Not that much of an age loss.
As the tingling increased, I noticed a little more room in my clothes, but they still looked okay on me. The only thing that changed noticeably was my face. I felt my facial hair slowly disappearing and my face going from a near adult to a normal teenager. I had a baby face when I was a teenager, so the change was certainly noticeable.
As I notice the tingling fading way, I ask the game show host "What next?"
