Hmmm, I wonder why CBS/BB is not suing Dan Gheesling? He has a book out on how to get cast on reality TV, answers emails about the procedures, and does live webcasts with people calling in. He gives tips and advice on the entire casting process, and he's buddy-buddy with Robyn Kass. I don't get it!

Here is the irony. CBS is trying to stop The Glass house from airing but their show The Talk is the same premise as The View. I just don't think they can stop this. I am HOPING they can't.

Dan must have come to some agreement about what he can talk about. I really hope they don't stop Glass House. I would love to see how it goes. I've given up hope that Big Brother will change anything.

I'm sure that Dan has some kind of permission, but I bet anything that anytime one of the HG 'talks about production' WE are the ones who lose the feed. I'm really starting to wonder about CBS and their idiotic lawsuit. Yes, 'The Talk' is a direct ripoff of 'The View', but ABC was apparently confident enough not to sue THEM. I hope Glass House is a huge hit, and eventually offers a 24/7 live feed. Because, frankly, I'm really tired of BB and all the censoring the live feeders are subjected to, repetitive, worn out competitions, diary rooms that are comp narrations, and the predictability. Expect the expected.

Maybe Dan's agreement with CBS has expired. I seem to recall that the contract Survivor contestants had to sign specified a three-year period in which they weren't allowed to discuss production. It would fit if BB had a similar contract.

I'm looking forward to both shows. Hopefully they've cast the shows well. As usual I want people to love and people to love to hate....;).

Quoting from the article referenced below: ABC scoffs at CBS' claim that 19 former "Big Brother" employees -- all of whom know the secret sauce -- defected to "Glass House." The network claims the reason so many BB employees left is because "Brother" producers run a reality TV sweat shop -- claiming "it is common knowledge in the industry that low pay and the 24 hours a day/7 days a week filming schedule makes life on the Big Brother set difficult." The suit adds, "That employees prefer a different show with benefits and better hours is hardly evidence of a trade secret violation." http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/23/abc-cbs-big-brother-glass-house-lawsuit/

For those who subscribed to the live feeds in the past years of Big Brother: http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-realnetworks-agrees-to-pay-24-million-to-settle-state-suit-over-notsofree-trials-20120524,0,3393386.story You might have a refund coming from Real Networks if you were billed for other services without your knowledge.

@Sheilaree - CBS should probably not make such a fuss about "The Glass House", unless they want to justify "The Talk" - which is very much like "The View", don't cha think?

I'm really tired of BB and all the censoring the live feeders are subjected to, repetitive, worn out competitions, diary rooms that are comp narrations, and the predictability. In addition, get rid of the following: slop have not room the HOH is getting tiresome In other words they really need to flip the script. I'll still be tuning in as usual though!

Punishment for singing ... yes .... every time they sing take a personal item off them and never give it back! When they run out of clothes or have no toothbrush they will stop singing.

I enjoyed the first year when they could sing. Maybe because feeds were free there wasn't a problem with musical rights?
