Hold onto your seats, Gasmii! We’ve got a house full of 14 annoying stereotypes on a show that seems to be a combination of Big Brother, Solitary 1.0/2.0/3.0, and The Jetsons.  I love Solitary and The Jetsons, but have never watched one episode of Big Brother.  Hopefully I can handle an entire season of this.

In this premier episode, we are introduced to the 14 players, the house, and the basic weekly premise.  They come in two-by-two on a Jetsons tube elevator.  We have a token player for each stereotype.

Jeffrey – the gay guy

Joy – the slut

Robin – the mom

Kevin – the straight guy

Stephanie – the unattractive chick

Mike – the older guy

Andrea – the straight-laced religious person

Apollo – the sensitive nice guy

Gene – the black guy

Erica – the big-boobed blonde

Jacob – the over-energetic annoying game player

Holly – the hot chick that wants to be taken seriously

Alex – the strategic game player

I hate Alex from the beginning, because he says stupid crap he made up with his rich buddies in high school like “Prime Time 99″ and “Baby Back Bitch” and says these things over and over again.  He’s the type of guy who hosts frat parties with a smoking jacket and ascot.  We’ve seen this guy a million times on 80s high school movies.

There is a female Hal/Holly type voice that comes on to tell everyone about the next thing.  The first thing they learn is that the viewers are in control and will vote on their challenges, rooming situations, and other things.  Their first challenge groups them East vs West and has them matching their opposing teammates with a their revealing fact.  Each team must have a captain and the captain of the losing team will automatically be up for elimination which, in this case, is called Limbo.  Another teammate will be voted into Limbo by their fellow players.  They have a very cheesy voting method that seems to use an XBox Kinect. 

I won’t give all the dirty details in the minicap so as not to spoil the fun for those who haven’t yet watched.  There’s a somewhat surprise ending in this particular episode, but really isn’t when you think about it.  The sad thing is about this show is that all of the reality shows have been done, so there’s not much in the way of surprise twists.  But, it might still be fun to watch the drama unfold. 

The full recap will be up shortly, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, check out Chooch’s TVgasms Investigates: Glass House.

About

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    It wasn’t bad. I already love Robin, Erica and Stephanie. Alex is just pathetic. He’s not the strategic game player. He’s just a little boy who thinks he’s bad ass because he calls a girl fat. Him being from Highland Park explains so much about him. That a really ritzy, upper class part of Dallas. That fact that he’s now a bail bondsman is also kind of pathetic. I guess daddy couldn’t buy him a law degree.

    Anyway, I’ll give this a try at least until Big Brother starts.

    @Kczar – I am definitely planning on acknowledging the Highland Park ties with Alex. You are sooo right – it totally explains everything. As soon as he mentioned that, I thought “Oh! OK, now I get it!”

    The cop is hot in a dilf kinda way. In my eyes the hottest one in the house.

    Okay I watched like ten minutes. I guess coming from the DC area I noticed folk’s occupations first. Most of the contestants have low wage or run of the mill jobs. Only a few seem to have gone to college no one really has a glamorous job. I suppose that’s more representative of America.

    Although I was pleased to see two local gals Robin and Joy is localish Fredericksburg VA is considered a far out suburb in some circles a completely seperate town in others.

    Overall it was interesting. Alex is a douche but at least he’s more interesting than the other folks.

    Ok this show is TOTALLY Big Brother UK & I love me some BBUK, so for now…they have a fan in me. I’m actually loving some of the aspects of the show (the ask the viewers a question & get the answer in front of people wandering what the hell you asked in particular) & I can’t wait to see this play out. Having said that, if these people aren’t real game players it could totally flop, so here’s hoping they are. Can you imagine how much mind fuckery they could do with their secret questions?!? Sorta what Alex did after his question was answered. It could be an awesome strategy if he wasn’t such an ass clown.

    This show has a lot of potential & I hope people give it a chance.

    Btw…how stupid do you think CBS feels right now? The hoopla over the law suit probably doubled the number of viewers that tuned in just to see what all the fuss was about, when all they had to do is let it air quietly & it probably would’ve flopped because let’s be honest..how many people even knew about it much less wanted to watch it. “The show they didn’t want you to see” was an intriguing way to open the show & they have CBS to thank for that. Loyal Big Brother fans will still tune in to hate the hell out of the morons in the house & watch undeserving people win. Duh!

    Jeffrey (the chubby guy) is my fave so far. I kinda fell in love with him.. Apollo seems cool and so does Robin, the Jewish mother.

    Alex is a joke. Being the biggest villain means to slowly undermine the group and not really let people know they’re being manipulated until its too late. It also means you have some alliances so that your position is somewhat secure. Look at Colton on Survivor. He was awful…but his team listened to him and he ran the show. That’s an adequate villain. Calling girls “fat” and waving your penis around just makes you obnoxious and America will want you out of the house faster than the other contestants. A good villain is liked by either his team or the viewers. Alex is hated by everyone. Epic fail.

    Maybe the producers will keep him and give some guidance on how to make good TV.

    so…Big Broth….er…i mean Glass House was interesting. Unfortunately, I think that this will get old quick. Especially if Big Brother is good this season.
    That said, I have a question:
    What happened to the Forums?

    SPIKE!!!! I’ve missed you so much. We are all worried about the forums and where they are. Flipit has assured me that TPTB are working hard to get them back in time for Big Brother season. We can only pray…..

    I love when Jacob (do I have the right guy?) said, “I’m street smart….not common sense smart.” Wait…what???

    I didn’t mean anything by that Flipit…I was just saying that there were options if you weren’t able to. We all know that you’re doing you best!
