No articles about on Google News anywhere and as has been said if CBS win this case, there won't be anymore so abc won't be selling the rights to make other versions yet, the OP has made this up.

Marcus bentley Did Say to me the Other day He Wouldint Be suprised if Channel 4 have Looked Into the Glass house.

[Patrick]

If this is true, then surely it's bad for Big Brother?

TBH I'd rather ITV or something broadcast it - Channel 4 taking it, are basically bringing back Big Brother and going back on their 'Purely a Commercial Decision.' bollocks.

[Petershaw1984]

I thought channel 4 were wanting to go in a different direction?

I do believe that this is a massive fail for the op.

It looks like Mr Marky made it up:

BREAKING Channel 4 are said to be in talks with ABC, insiders are said to be Interested in having the Glass House on UK TV!

[Matt]

There's no way ANY broadcaster would go near the Glass House while it's embroiled in a legal battle.

But if it is cleared and it does go global, I wouldn't be surprised if Channel 4 did pick up the rights - they've already tried to rip-off BB once since they axed it with that garbage 'Home For The Holidays' show at Christmas

MrMarky is full of absolute crap. He gets his "exclusives" out of his ass. Next.

Ditto.

I hope this is true. If it is C5 have lost one dedicated viewer. Channel 4 use to listen to the fans, not dismiss them and do the complete opposite of what they want.

Protecting their use of the BB format is a lot more important then allow a clone on the air and having it become popular. The articles i've read about it even claim there are a couple dozen ex-BB employees helping them create Glass House. I hope it does get shut down. ABC needs to come up with new reality shows, not fill up our tv sets with more clones.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that there's 14 former employees. BB fans are pissed off at AG (The Head Executive Producer for BBUSA) for not being creative and "rigging it so only certain hgs could win" so they're flocking to GH.

And the reason why ABC feels so entitled to do this is because CBS is ripping off ABC's The View (It's like Loose Women, a talk show) with a show called The Talk (Which features BBUSA's host Julie Chen as the moderator). Which is angering fans.

I do agree that CBS has every right to do this but for ******* sakes. YOU ARE THE MOST WATCHED NETWORK, AT LEAST GIVE THE OTHERS A CHANCE.

[Carniala]

Can someone explain how they saw or can judge if the glass house is good or not, since it only starts on the 18th of June, so someone is either traveling to the future or something weird is going on!

[Lwize]

I'm hoping CBS blocks ABC from broadcasting faux BB.

[jyunga]

Glass House is happening right now with livefeeds apparantly. Not sure if anyone can watch it or if you have to be priveledged to get a view of the livefeeds right now. The main tv show launches in 4 days.

I don't think "The Talk" vs "The View" can really compare with what ABC is doing though. The View is just a tv show. Anyone can make a talk show with 4 women on it. No one really has a copyright on talk shows, or talk shows with 4 women.
Big Brother is like a franchised,copyrighted gameshow you have to have the rights for in order to broadcast it in your country. So technically if ABC was found guilty and forced to shut down Glass House it would be for violating CBS usage of the Big Brother brand in the US.I think ;p

[Lwize]

It would suck to be a contestant, playing the game for days, only to be told production is shut down and you can go home with nothing.

I want that to happen...

How come it aint endemol suing ABC? Surely CBS can't stop them from exporting GH to other countries where they aren't based or in competition with local channels??

cause Endemol is a huge hot mess right now and the US version of Wipeout is on ABC.

ABC can just threaten to cancel Wipeout if Endemol even dares sue anyway

The paranoid part of me makes me think that's because it's staged and they don't want to admit it.

But then wouldn't they admit that when they come out? Or would something like that be in their HM contract?

[JohnnyBB]

Its Looking Good.
Court Judge DENIES CBS Request for a Temporary Restraining Order.

Well, I have good news for those interested in this.

The Lawsuit was thrown out the window.

Still won't be able to hold a finger up to the US version tho. 1 show a week will not really work for a show like this
