The TV network has hired a former CBS Big Brother Producer to aid in producing the new reality series called “The Glass House” which is set to air its premiere episode on June 18th at 10 PM EST, and conclude with a finale on August 20th. The production is set to start near the end of May and will feature 14 individuals that will live and compete against each other for the grand prize of $250,000.

The viewing public will be able to follow the contestants and vote on who is sent home, in addition to deciding which contestants will return to “The Glass House”.

The main premise of the reality show is that the chosen contestants will be locked inside “The Glass House” but will also have a connection to the viewing public and the outside world. The viewing public will be able to communicate with the contestants by providing them with critical information and feedback. With the use of a voting system, the audience will also be able to decide what the contestants eat and wear, what games they play and where they sleep.
ABC Network states that:

“In the end, it’s about who plays the best social game, and the most important alliance a player can gave is with their fans,”

It is reported that the reality series will not have a host like Big Brother reality show had Julie Chen. “The Glass House” will air on Monday nights beginning on June 18th, 2012. The reality series will also be broadcast in 720p for amazing video quality.

Awfully good

Kellie

I agree…it does sound awfully good. I’ll be tuned in for sure.

Cooper

Well, I DID need something to help pass time before Big Brother. ‘Might as well give it a try!

Simon

Yeah same here…

Chessie_K

I will definitely watch it, but I’m really not liking for the public to vote who is sent home. Seems like a popularity contest to me and the person that should win probably won;t.

Simon

My thoughts exactly.. having the public vote isn’t the best idea

Name

If Jeff was on it he’d win, since we all love him so much
