I've never seen Big Brother, and I was kind of interested in trying to watch Glass House...But then I read that the outcome of the game is decided entirely by votes from the viewers? Survivor is the only reality show I've seen, and I it would be similar to that, but if the voting is done by the public, doesn't that mean the show is essentially just a contest to make viewers like you more? I'd be interested in watching if there was still strategy and if anyone could win, not just the super likeable people...
Have I got it wrong impression? Is it still worth watching?
It only has been 1 episode so far so it's tough to tell if it'll be any good. From the looks of it 2 players are put on the block and the viewers vote to evict one of them from the game. That's where the audience comes in.
It's very similar to foreign versions of Big Brother (UK, for example). Glass House is popularity-based, yes. It's definitely a different game than Big Brother. Voting does exist in Glass House, but it's to decide who gets put up on the block, not who is evicted (again similar to foreign versions of BB).
I would highly recommend BB if you like Survivor, though. It's very strategic and has plenty of quality seasons. Also BB14 is coming on in 3 weeks!
