This sounds interesting so I thought I would share... Hopefully it turns out to be good. Can't get enough of great BB like television!


ABC to debut new 'Big Brother'-like 'Glass House' competition June 18

ABC has announced it will premiere The Glass House, a new Big Brother-like reality show that will feature contestants living together and competing for a $250,000 prize in a game controlled by viewers, on Monday, June 18 at 10PM ET/PT.

The Glass House will feature 14 contestants living in a same state-of-the-art house where they will not only play against each other but also compete to win over home viewers each week. Viewers will be encouraged to support and follow the contestants both online and through social media, ultimately casting their votes to help determine who will be sent home and who will return to "The Glass House" and remain in the game.

Such an obvious BB rip-off was bound to alert the lawyers:

CBS accuses ABC of ripping off 'Big Brother'

Not surprisingly, CBS isn’t taking too kindly to a plan by ABC to launch its own Big Brother-like show called Glass House. Today, the Eye via the Los Angeles legal firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher fired off a letter warning that ABC “will be acting at their own peril if they continue to proceed.”

I like it when there is more competition, it improves things. I don't really think people should get a monopoly for something forever, particularly in something which is open to creativity like entertainment show formats.

I agree! It may make BB stand up and take notice and maybe make some changes for the better.

They're smart starting a month before BB. I will definitely be checking it out!

More details from ABC

Cheeky sods even mention the CBS lawsuit!
"Only time will tell what will happen with the lawsuit, whether or not it is successful and if ABC will follow through with airing “The Glass House” or if the show will be drastically altered to avoid further litigation."

There are tonnes of 'living in a house' type shows around the world as well as 'living on a desert island' type show. I don't know why CBS think theirs is so unique.

Glass House sound more like Secret Story.

How long will the series last? It says there will only be 10 episodes. That doesn't give much time to do a lot.

.... but will it ever get to air? ABC have implied they're willing to make format changes if the court rules in CBS's favour.

Sounds interesting. Can someone remind me nearer the time, as I have a memory shorter than a goldfish.

I hope the case does get thrown out. I'm not sure I'll like it though...it sounds nothing like big brother. It sounded appealing at first but I'm not sure about it being team orientated. I thought those kinds of reality shows bombed in America because Americans like to see people competing against each other instead of voting for their favourite to win.

@ABC_Glass_House They certainly didn't go for good looking people.. Not very impressed, but those reveal videos are stupid. Hoping it's good

Well, @ABC_Glass_House has announced their cast. At least no one can accuse them of casting based on looks!!

I was excited about this form hearing the concept, however now everything looks rushed, unofficial and like an amateur show. Hope I am proved wrong.
