Another Weekly Review of Licking The Glass House

Another weekly review of The Glass House is here.  Oh joy.  Oh joy. 

Again this week, I shall switch between Lizard Lick Towing and The Glass House.  Personally, I think The Glass House should be moved to Lizard Lick, North Carolina.  Ron is looking to take his crew to the beach the next day.  However, today is a work day with a nighttime repo that is still on schedule. 

The Glass House is 5 minutes late again this week.  Why does The Bachelorette run 5 minutes over?  Last week, Robin and Erica went to limbo.  Robin was team captain of the losing team last week.  The Glass House has divided.  We learn that Andrea is against gay marriage which upsets Jeffery.  Joy has no respect for Kevin, and name calling is taking place much lick what happens on Lizard Lick Towing when it comes to repossessing a vehicle from those delinquent on their payments.

There’s a fire burning at The Lick much like what’s going on in The Glass House.  The difference being that the fire in The Glass House is metaphoric.  Somebody from whom Ron and Bobby are trying to repossess a truck gets angry and starts shooting and setting fires.  Also, it turns out Johnny didn’t sell the candy that was to help raise funds for the Church camp, yet he had brought money from what was thought to be from the sale of the candy.  Where did Johnny get the money from?  Can’t trust that guy.  Some angry people show up at Lizard Lick Towing.  It gets so bad the cops show up for this fiasco.  After the cops get those angry assholes away the Lizard Lick crew head for the beach, but not before Juicy feels the need to shop for the proper beach attire. 

Commercials are now on both channels.  Which show is more interesting?  It’s up for debate.

Anyway, we are back to The Glass House.  I cannot remember many of the players’ names.  Joy and the older guy argue about how she is playing the game, specifically her supposedly playing Gene.  Ah, the older guy’s name is Mike.  The argument results in him and Joy agreeing to disagree.  Now comes the Viewers’ choice of who gets to share beds.  Will a bromance come out of this?  Who will come back from limbo and who will leave the game for good?  The house is divided, and one group wants Robin back. 

At the beach the Lizard Lick crew, well Bobby, finds a dune buggy that’s been on their repo list.  Even with a day at the beach they still do work.  They plan to repossess the dune buggy.  They do this by having Bobby test drive it while Juicy becomes the distraction. 

At The Glass House, Robin is leaving forever, and Erica returns to the games.  Erica gets her welcome, but it doesn’t last long as the drama continues.

The Lizard Lick crew got the dune buggy while enjoying a day at the beach.  Crazy Dave lost his swim trunks and the beach patrol shows up.  This ends this episode of Lizard Lick Towing, and another episodes starts.

At The Glass House, it’s time to find out who will be the team captains for the next challenge.  It’s…Holly and Ashley; one of whom will go to limbo.

I asked which show is more interesting.  Personally, I like watching a show dealing with repossessions.  There’s more action going on in addition to the drama.  Bobby gets lost going through the woods trying to scout the vehicle to be repossessed and gets caught.  This repo is from some moonshiners.  I guess it’s coming from when making this distilled whiskey was and is still illegal, but these moonshiners act like anti-government sovereign citizens who may want to make their own nation separate from the of the United States so they can make their moonshine according to their own laws.

So how about some moonshine in The Glass House?  Two people from the same side of the house are the team captains.  The strategy here is that one captain will pick all players from the other side to guarantee someone from the other side goes to limbo.  Stephanie is made the sacrificial lamb.  Team Ashley is up first.  The challenge is balancing a ball on a disk and bring it to the other side and make the ball drop in a cylinder.  The challenge is complete when 3 balls are in the cylinder, so the object is to get this done as quickly as possible. 

At The Lick, Ron and Bobby are going to repo a livestock trailer.  A fight breaks out.  No surprise there. 

Team Holly is now up.  They get off to a rough start but soon get the hang of it as they get their 3 balls in. 

Ron and Bobby got the trailer with Mortimer the bull inside.  Bobby likes taking care of the bull until the licked cowboys come to pick up the bull.

At The Glass House, Ashley’s team lost so she will go to limbo.  Will Kevin be sent to limbo with her?  The votes are cast.  Stephanie and Kevin get 4 votes each before we go to commercial.

To show Bobby appreciation, a barbeque is prepared.  Bobby’s ex-fiancée Mickey shows up, which creates a somber mood at The Lick.  Amy does not like Mickey in case you didn’t know because of what Mickey did to Bobby, yet Bobby is still in love with her.  Ron finds Mickey on Amy’s computer and tells her to leave.  How will this drama unfold?

At The Glass House, it appears Kevin is the one sent to limbo with Ashley. 

So there you have another episode of The Lizard Lick Glass House.  Stay tuned next week for more drama and intense action.

Yeah.

Season Premier of Glass House Recap

So I decided to watch the premier of ABC's Glass House last night.  Could this be a Big Brother knock-off?  Critics seem to think so.  The show deals with contestants put into a glass house, so it is similar to Big Brother in a sense. 

The exception is the viewers control the contestants' actions. There's Alex, a Bail Bondsman from Dallas, a Mormon named Andrea, Ashley from New Orleans, and Apollo, a poet/author.  Wow!  The house is made of glass, I think.  They enter by coming up a glass elevator 2 at a time.  It's made to look like they're coming from the depths of Hell.  Stephanie claims to not be an actress/model type.  In fact, she's a Mensa member who's married with 3 kids.  Alex already seems full of himself. 

The "big brother", more of a big sister calls the contestants together and the first challenge is East vs West, as chosen by the viewers.  Both teams are given one day to choose a team captain, but being team captain can be risky as the captain of the losing team is sent to limbo along with another member of the losing team by vote of the contestants.  Nomination for elimination on this show is called Limbo.   

The contestants are then shown to their rooms.  An enemies room has Holly and Robin, the youngest and oldest in the house respectively.  The friends room is Erica and some other girl who's name I couldn't catch.  The chimes are heard when the viewers weigh in. 

Mardi Gras stuff is given to the contestants for the pool party.  I still have plenty of this year's Spanish Town beads to give if anybody wants them.  Kiss and love is the party game.  This game involves passing a card from a deck of cards to the person next to you by breathing in and holding the card on your lips.  Sushi is also the food chosen. 

So far, this show has so much going on so fast.  Will there be boring live feeds of houseguests doing nothing?  Maybe not 24/7 feeds, but there are live webisodes you can see during certain times.   

Its down to the wire to pick team captains for the challenge.  Jacob was talked into volunteering to be team captain for the West Team.  Of course, he did not know that his home state of Oregon is in the west.  As I said, the captain of the losing team goes into limbo.  Jeffery volunteered to be captain for the East Team.  

Apollo decides to use cards to vote people into limbo.  Yeah that could work while trying not to personally target anyone.  Alphabet strategy, anyone?  Time for the first challenge.  One team member will be voted into limbo with the team captain of the losing team. 

There's lack of communucation on the West Team.  One person was saying do this, but another was saying no do that. 

Alex screams one thing, and Apollo screams another.  Everything this team thought was absolutely backwards, but the West Team finally figured it out and finished the puzzle.   

Now the East Team.  Stephanie becomes like a Co-Captain, and thanks to her intelligence, the East Team gets the puzzle done quicker than the West Team.  Final times: West finishes in  7:04, and East finishes in 3:54.

Therefore, the East Team wins and is safe for the week.  As Team Captain, Jacob is going to limbo this week.  Who will go with him?  

Could Alex already be causing tension in the Glass House?  Kevin, the Police Sergeant, seems irritated with his antics, especially when he tried to hump Stephanie while wearing womens underwear. 

Alex and Kevin are already becoming enemies.  Stephanie did take it better than Kevin did.  Alex wants to be interesting by causing drama in the house.  He is pissing the others off, and he is going to push everybody's buttons now that the viewers have answered his question on whether he should be the villain of the house.   

Alex then decides to attack Joy, the mom who is a Nurse and once posed for Playboy.  He decides to make Joy cry while Gene wants to console her.  Could Gene be playing the nice guy?  Really?  

Jacob is already walking around defeated while Joy is trying to pump him up.  Apollo decides it's time to pull out the cards to help him determine his vote for sending someone to limbo.  Based on the cards dealt, Apollo's vote goes to Ashley when it comes time to vote.  Alex also votes Ashley.   

Alex gets the most votes and is voted into limbo with Jacob. 

It turns out Jacob quit the game after being sent to limbo, but this does not mean Alex automatically goes back into the Glass House.  The viewers still have to vote for Alex to return to the game, which is highly possible they will if they want to be him become a villain.   

So, what do you think of the premier of Glass House?  Will you vote Alex back into the game?  Give your thoughts on the Glass House and watch the online live webisodes.
