And a thought thought that never fails to chill me every time I realise it is this. There are currently what? Three or four versions of Big Brother in progress? Something like that, I think. One of the people in the Belgian one has a third cousin who died in the WTC attack. Because of this, they were told about the attacks two or three days after Tuesday.

As far as I know, the people in the other BB houses still don't know.

Wow... imagine how they'll feel when they get out.

I'd rather not. I'm chilled enough as it is.

OMG! Are you serious!?

This is like, a Situation. I never liked reeality tv, but now I truly hate it.

Last I heard, they hadn't been told, no. That was two weeks after the attack, so wether or not they've been told in the meantime, it was already "too late".

Grr.

I think the U.S. one is over, but they kept the few people in there until the end (there was like 2 or 3...I wasn't paying attention). I forget when they were told, but I do know one of the women had a cousin who was killed in the attack.

No one was really pleased with CBS for continuing it after the attack.

It's not the continuing as much as the not letting them know that chills me. It's like. This is something we all shared, you know? The horror, the fear. And they're outside of that, and it's a scar they'll never have, not really.

(It's like our national trauma, the Dutroux affair (shall elaborate if asked), which I missed the heydays of because I was off in the woods somewhere, cut off from civilisation. And in this case, it was just bad luck, but if I'd come out of that house and was told about the attacks, I'd be furious with them for not informing us.)
