People all over the Internet are ranting about this show, saying it’s the worst reality TV show that’s ever been produced. I would beg to differ, but I don’t need to beg on this point. They’re wrong and I’ll tell you why.
I’d like to introduce Exhibit A, which was on the air for exactly one episode: “Who’s Your Daddy?” The only reason I know about its existence is because one of the guys working on Beauty and the Geek had just finished working on that show. He thought it was kind of sweet and touching, but that’s what happens when you work behind the scenes. So what ended up on the screen?
I may be off a little on the specifics—it’s only been over seven years since I heard about it—but the premise was that some girl who’d been adopted as a child was put in a mansion with a bunch of older guys. During the course of the show, she had to figure out which of them was her biological father. Seriously. That was the premise.
The reason I think it was on TV for an episode is because I remember coming home from the mansion and learning the title of our show was “Beauty and the Geek” (it was “Working Title” until they put us in seclusion). That play on words plus the fact that “Who’s Your Daddy?” did so poorly… I figured we’d probably get canned after one episode, too. Thankfully, I was wrong, but that’s beside the point.
My point is that The Glass House is not the worst reality TV show that’s ever been produced. Just because it’s the worst you’ve seen doesn’t make it the worst altogether. If you don’t believe me, here’s Exhibit B: a blog entry about a movie called “Wildfire: The Arabian Heart”. Most of you haven’t heard of it before, right? It’s actually the second review that I wrote about it and has links to websites like Blockbuster and IMDB.com, where plenty of other people talk about how it’s the worst movie that’s ever been produced. Go ahead, read through the comments a little and I’ll let you decide whether it sounds better or worse than Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. And with that, I rest my case.
