ABC’s The Glass House cast photos, links, and bios for the women contestants

ByAsa Hawks

Monday night is the series premiere of ABC’s interactive reality show The Glass House, which is loosely based on CBS’s popular Big Brother. (CBS has argued in court that “loosely based on” is a bit inaccurate and “ripped off” is more like it, but a federal judge disagreed on Friday, allowing ABC to move forward with TGH.)

We’ve compiled all sorts of info on all 14 competitors, including last names, photos, videos, background info, Twitter IDs, Facebook pages and links for all the contestants and put them together easy-to-digest blog form. Because there are so many contestants and so much info, we’ve split up the cast into two groups of seven based on sex. Keep reading to get the 411 on all the ladies competing this season, which includes a sex blogger, a young widow, a Creole singer, and the obligatory former Playboy model!
