It makes me feel even better that I already voted Britney for America's Choice!

I'd think they would tell her before the show tonight- it would give her time to get over the shock of it before she had to do all the jury stuff, and is better than blindsiding her on the live show.

Or worse Wilson, I was thinking she might learn from reporters during backyard interviews.

The need to tell her after the show, but before the BY interviews.

I wouldn't risk it Mummy- there's always the chance some wiseguy in the audience will shout it out to her during a commercial, and then they'd have to confirm it to her...not the best thing to do when you're trying to give someone $500K....

Very sad, but glad Nick and pets are safe. I voted for Britney as America's Choice I hope she does win she sure could use it now. I think the best thing to do would be to wait until they are done and off the air to tell her anything. I don't think telling her before the show will be enough time to get over the shock.

Wasn't there a posting that one of the jury- I am thinking Matt - had an aunt pass away a couple of weeks ago? Apparently BB wasn't going to tell him.

From what I have read, the audience is pretty tightly controlled. I highly doubt anyone could get off a shout out to her. And why would anyone want to?

We might see some pretty weepy BY interviews.

Well the situation is slightly different- an aunt isn't a close, close relative, and Matt might have known in advance she probably wasn't going to make it through the season. And they did tell Monica about her cousin after 9/11, so I guess it's based on circumstances. The best thing is probably to tell her privately before the show- and give her the option to skip the media stuff after the show. They can't let her go early, since she doesn't know who the F2 are, so she has to be there for at least the first hour or so.

mummy- they can't control everyone, and it would take some jerk about 5 seconds to say something.

Nick called the producers to let them know of the fire.

"He told them what happened and they agreed they wouldn't say anything to Britney," [Nick's Mother said]. "She can't do anything. The final show is tonight and it's live. There's no sense in her knowing."

He's concerned about how Haynes will react to the news, Laura Grisham said.

"He hasn't seen her in three months and he's afraid she's going to be mad," Nick's mom said. "I said 'you don't understand son, you are lucky to be alive, especially after going back in two more times to get the dogs out.'"

Wilson, I don't think you can say an aunt isn't that close - it really depends on the family, where everyone lives, etc.

Well, there's really no good way to give her the news, so waiting I guess is OK- they just gotta be VERY careful with the audience tonight..and I'm hoping more than ever that she wins the $25K tonight, as she'll need it...and be glad it wasn't worse than it was (Nick was really stupid going back in for the dog IMO- what if hadn't been able to get out?)

At this point there is nothing Brit can do about the fire. There is nothing Matt can do about his aunt. How close they are/were is different in all families.

Monica's cousin was involved in a National tragedy. That someone's relative was involved gave BB the opening to let them know it had happened.

CBS can tell the audience to not say anything, they can even ban the question from the BY interviews. Who does it help for Brit to know until it is all over? Let her enjoy what is left of her BB experience.

My heart is breaking for Brit and Nick. I hope the F2 winners will find it in their hearts to use some of the money they would waste on partying, to help them out. I am not saying they are bad if they don't I'm just saying it would be great if they do. I want Brit to win the AC, but I think if Brendon wins that he might try to help her, he was saying he would put the game aside and help Matt's wife anyway he could when he thought she was sick. Fingers crossed and prayers going up for Brit & Nick to get through these tough times. Praise God and bless Nick's heart for saving the "fury kids" Molly & Porter.

Not a good way to end your summer. Very unfortunate. Poor Nick has had to handle everything all alone..

I do feel badly about Brit getting this news. I think she will feel fortunate her finace ( whom she still has, and her pups made it out without injury. Everything else can be replaced. And, I would venture to say, with her stint on BB, the community will be donating items to her and NIck.

Well, at least she wanst there...and he got the dogs out. It would have been terrible if it happened tonite, while he was gone, and the dogs were there alone.
She will probably win AC, (tho not my pic), so that will help cheer her up as well.
Its sad, but its over and it could have been a LOT worse!!
She will hear the story, but know that the outcome is everyone is ok, and they will work it out.
She sure is in for a sensory overload tonite tho!

Probably missy- if they have a registry up for their wedding, I suspect people might give them a few things form there...and Lane might help them out a bit too.

On the bright side Brit has a lot of clothes with her. Nick probably lost most of his.

Can someone tell me about Matt's Aunt? I'm very sorry to hear about Brit's loss. I really hope she had renter's insurance.

Years ago before I bought my house, I was renting a condo. I took out renters insurance for maybe $200 a year and it was the best thing I ever did. There was a fire in one of the condos in my building and while no flames came into my condo, I had smoke pouring through the vents. Everything in my condo had to be professionally cleaned (carpets, clothing, furniture). The walls had to be repainted. My renters insurance covered everything and went after the insurance company of the condo owner where the fire started.

I agree, that we have no way of knowing how close Matt was to his aunt. Every family is different. I had an aunt, who was like a mother to me. I feel so bad for Matt and Brit as well. What horrible news to hear after being kept from any and all news of the outside world for 3 months. My prayers go out to them.

And again, we don't know if Matt knew she had been in decline for a while, and it was expected.

and Nick has learned a lesson probably (if the possible cause of the fire as reported turns out to be correct)- always make sure the embers on the grill are completely out before you leave it...

"The cause of the fire remains under investigation, authorities said. Laura Grisham (Nick's mom) said her son had been grilling and it's believed that the grill somehow sparked the blaze."
