My guess would be no show. With everything still "unfolding" as we speak I can't believ they'd be ready for that sort of tv in primetime just 20 hours from now?!

But on the other hand the Diary Room just told Nicole "as of now we are good to go" in reference to the show.
But they said that no family would probably be present.

Also you know places like the Early Show for the next day could CARE LESS about the evicted Houseguest with everything else going on. I have to imagine CBS will save it since it's so close to the end, and they'd want all the publicity from the 3rd houseguest coming out. Also if it's Monica I wonder if they'd want her first hand reaction to everything in NYC and her cousin?!

I think this is a no-win situation for CBS/BB2.

They are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

If they put on the show, they look to be uncaring/unsympathetic to the plight of the houseguests and NYC. If they don't put on the show, they stand to lose any and all momentum of the final week of the show, thus its future would be in doubt for next season.

I say you put the show on tonight, but don't have the Early Show interview tomorrow. But next week, have a combined interview with all 3 of the houseguests on the Early show.

According to USA Today one of Monica's cousins is missing in the aftermath (I do believe from the Twin Towers attack).... This does present an interesting flub- how long does CBS delay the BB2 end? On one hand how overlong can they keep the houseguests, and on the other if they dont delay and let one go, the evicted cant go anywhere anyway. I for one think the whle BB2 bickering and whining and underhandedness will look pretty pathetic in the wake of such tradgic events, so if I were CBS I would wait to put it on air. What peaopl need roght now is insightful news and maybe some comedy to help lift the spirits.

I say give the guests the option to leave the house now (I believe they already did and they all turned it down). If they stay, tapes the shows now, show them later. The final eviction wouldn't be live, but who cares? You can't keep them locked in the house forever while society tries to return to normal, and you can't interrupt 24 hour news coverage to show an episdoe of a cheesy "reality" show.

They should let them leave and give the prize movie to the relief program. I like this show as much as the rest of you, but does it really matter who wins this anymore. They should let thme leave and be with there families.

I guess you were talking about the prize money, not movie, but, anyway, I doubt any of the three would gladly give away their chance to the $500,000. whoever wins might make a donation to some fund. They probably would. But noone will throw away the money after spending 3 month in that madhouse!

Rumor has it that there will be a BB2 show on Saturday night (either the 8 pm or 9 pm EST time slot) and the final show on Thursday (I think it'll be the 9 pm time slot, but check your local listings!)

Strategy-wise Nicole and Will still intend to boot out Monica Saturday whoever wins HoH (and they can use the WTC tragedy to boot her out with a clear conscience since Monica's cousin is still missing).

I'm sort of on the fence on whether BB2 should have continued given the tragic events of this week.

Spoiler:
Nicole has won HoH (I'm sure Will threw the competition tonight to make Nicole boot out Monica), which she did. Will is pretty happy that Nicole booted Monica. I think Will will be crowned the winner of BB2 come Thursday night. Yay! Nicole is already lobbying for Sherrie's vote - Nicole doesn't miss a trick! Will is going around the house saying "I just won $50,000!" even though he knows in his dark heart that he's probably won $500,000 tonight and probably saying inside "Muhahahahahaha!"

No show was shown last night (Saturday). CBS will be running two BB2 shows on Tuesday to catch up on all the happenings at the BB house for the past 10 days or so.

And then the finale will be shown on Thursday (if nothing else dastardly happens in the world by then).

I think it's be funny as hell if Will was crowned the champ and then broke out in a Mike Boogie rap and diss the living daylights out of Nicole on national live TV audience. (Yes, that's my Evil Patman side coming out).

I can't believe how much I hated Will in the beginning and now I want him to win. Too bad Nicole couldn't leave with 0 and Monica with the 50 K to help out her family.

I didn't hate Will in the beginning. I enjoyed the way him and Mike were having fun. But I was thinking about him "how more stupid can you get!". That will teach me a lesson about making judgements. He was playing everyone from the very beginning.

Also about Monica. I didn't like her personality from the very beginning, and I still know I won't be able to get along with her, but now I do appreciate her for being straight till the very end.

Anybody think Nicole will beat Will? Anybody? I mean anybody but Nicole. Anybody?

I didn't think so.

Given the way Nicole got to the final two (with the jettisoned houseguests left in her wake) vs. the way Will played the game, Nicole can only get 2 votes (Hardy's and Autumn's). Will crushes Nicole in the vote and totally humiliates her on the live show just by virtue of the vote.

*Chuckle* Nicole's already got $10 grand of the prize money spent on doing a renovation on one of the rooms in her and Jeff's house. I wonder what she'll spend the rest of that $23 grand on (after taxes, she'll take home around $33 grand).
