I was certainly give that a try!! I mean if I can watch Flavor of Love, I can certainly give this a try...lol. Thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard about this show!

The good thing is it starts almost a month b4 BB, so it can be kinda like a warm up.

The other thing is ..I 'm going to try not to compare it to BB and nit pick it. It cant be exactly like BB so we have to watch and review it for what it is and with an open mind.


I hope my summer shows deliver because my winter/spring shows really didnt do much for me. I have not been enjoying DWTS (but nothing else has been on). I've even been only tuning into the end of amazing race to see if Bren and Rach are still there. I have never been a survivor fan but i did tune in until colton left. Even my Atlanta housewives didnt bring it like they usually do.

I really did enjoy Shah's of Sunset and the Jersey housewives never disappoint !!!

not to push this show on anyone but here is a little more info on how things will work.......

Oh NO..its on and poppin with CBS and ABC...................................................................


Glass House’ Too Similar to ‘Big Brother’?
CBS thinks so, and they're doing something about it. Zing!


CBS caught wind of the upcoming ABC reality show, The Glass House, and let’s just say they are not amused with it’s similarities to their own Big Brother.

They have fired off Cease & Desist letters to the top executives at ABC as well as Big Brother veterans who now work for ABC and the new show.

CBS lawyer Scott Edelman stated: “In the strongest possible terms, we must admonish ABC and anyone involved in the development or production of Glass House that they will be acting at their own peril if they continue to proceed in this manner and that CBS has instructed us to pursue all available remedies if this course of conduct continues.” (THR)

As it turns out, there’s quite a large group of former staff from CBS’ Big Brother who have been working on the show. Those people include ABC alternative development executive Corie Henson, staffers Kenny Rosen and Mike O’Sullivan and more than a dozen others. This according to Cease & Desist documents which read:

“Even worse, CBS is informed that Glass House is being produced by a team of at least 18 former members of CBS’ Big Brother production staff — all of whom were privy to trade secrets and other confidential, proprietary information and signed broad and binding non-disclosure agreements in connection with Big Brother.”

Fans of Big Brother were also quick to point out the similarities between the two shows. Most were intrigued by the show and said they would be tuning in, but also added the show could never compare to their true love, Big Brother.

I am not surprise by this. Glass house is exactly the same as Big brother its not even a different spin on it. The fan voting may be different from our version but all the international version of Big Brother work that way. I am so surprise that so many ex workers are working on the Glass House, I wonder what happened there esp. with Mike O. With so many working on Glass House I'm guessing new blood might be a good thing for BB.

I guess it was okay for Cbs to knock off the view with the Talk but when the shoe is on the other foot its whole different thing.

ahhhhh excellent point! They need to get over themselves. Every reality show rips off another reality show. Its pretty much the same reality show recycled over and over again with a different gimmick. Each week someone goes home until the last person standing wins money. Maybe it will put some life into the producers of big brother and their cheapness and old, stale ideas.

To me it feels like they're all in a Dove commercial or something. We'll see how this goes...

well at least they look like normal people and not a bunch of models

I haven't watched the videos yet, but I'll probably watch the first show (hopefully with an open mind), just to see how it is. I can't imagine how invested we the viewers will be with a 1 hour episode at 10pm EST one night a week with about 7 hours of live stream (will this be uncensored and is there a fee?). LOL
This all just seems like the way of networks flooding the TV with similar content. (I.e, American Idol, The Voice, Duets, etc.). There are no more fresh ideas?!

I don't know if i"ll be checking this out, correct me if i'm wrong but this seems to be the first rip off of big brother that i have seen on american TV. It surprises me that a show going into its 14TH season is just know getting copy cats. it could be just me but lol

It's interesting how many BB fans I've read complaining about this show already from the looks of the cast to it not being a 24hr live feed.

I'll tune in and give it a chance. I have never seen any entire cast of BB as being anything more than mediocre. Sure there have been good looking people on the seasons but never has there been an entire cast of good looking people or even half the cast for that matter. I mean c'mon look at some of the people BB has had on.... Chicken George, Ronnie, Cowboy, Michelle BB10, Michele BB11, Lydia, Natalie BB11, Nakomis, and the list goes on and on. I've never agreed when other BB fans complain how they always cast "models" or "pretty people" for BB.

As for Glass House not having a 24/7 live feed. Thank God! I can barely keep up with BB's season. Besides I used to ONLY watch the CBS show for BB for many seasons before I got the feeds and I felt just as invested as I was once I started watching the feeds.

At first people were complaining that it was too similar to BB, now people are complaining that it isn't similar enough! I'll watch the show, probably won't watch any of the feeds, even if they're free. Big Brother is enough, if not too much, for me in the summer. I'm just hoping that this lights a fire under Alison's ass. BB doesn't need a total makeover, just some tweaks would be nice. Overall I don't expect much from Glass House, just some entertainment during a season when not much other than BB is on.

That's it! I'm gonna throw stones....

This house is far better than the BB house! Has a BBUK feel to it!

Is anybody watching the feeds right now?? They are playing a game to see if their answers match up with the publics.

I am watching and I dont get the point of these feeds and they are not what i expected...its like... so what, who cares? They knew exactly when the feeds went on so they are not natural.
