THanks Frogi, of course, it was Monica.

In another thread they say that her family asked that Brit NOT be told at this point, since it's the last day. I don't mind if it's the family's decision to keep her in the dark a bit longer. I just have a problem when it's the producers making those decisions. On the other hand, it's risky that someone may shout it out during the finale or at the party after.

I wonder how they will keep people in the audience from telling her. I've been to many TV shows, and people will often try to talk to cast members during breaks in the production.

Mameblanche, If I remember correctly, I think Monica's family asked that she NOT be told.

Also Nicole BB2's father in law died while she was in the house and her husband Jeff ask that they NOT tell Nicole.

I hope they let Nick tell her this evening before anyone else has a chance to.

I thought the family wanted Monica to know, but they didn't want her to leave BB.

I remember Britney talking about how all her stuff was being moved into the new house by Nick, while she was in the BB house.

And I thought: what a spoiled brat! she doesn't even need to move her own stuff!

Now, I feel terrible for even thinking that. She will be devastated. Knowing that the boys in the house played her, especially Lane, and then to finally get out of there to find out that she lost everything in the fire, and she WASN'T EVEN THERE! Totally out of her control.

So now I hope she wins the $25,000.

I think in Season 2, the family didn't initially want Monica to know because they were hoping to hear from her cousin; but after a few days, they asked that she be told.

Color me heartless but I still don't want her to win AC. I do sympathize with her loss but crap happens and as long as it only involves "stuff" and not lives, you have to pick up the pieces and hopefully it makes you stronger.

Sounds like the fire may have been due to some post-grilling sparks of some sort and he's afraid she'll be mad. I wonder what her reaction will be if it turns out to be due to some kind of negligence on his part? Dunno but I hope they get it worked out.

Well, if it turns out that Nick burned the house down, with all Britney's stuff in it, and Lane wins BB12, there could still be a happy ending for everyone. Well, except Nick.

I have no idea when would be best for them to tell Brit the horrible news, I would think Nick and her family would know the best time and way to break it to her and I am pretty sure BB would go with their wishes. I remember them telling Ryan (the season with the couples)that his grandmother had passed away and they let him decide if he wanted to stay or go, he was given a letter from his family and it was up to him if he wanted to tell anyone in the house about it, I think he told sheila. I hope Brit wins AC, but I wanted that even before this awful news broke.

I'm also on the band wagon that still doesn't want her to win AC, mainly because of the way she acted on the show, although I do feel bad about the fire.

I bet if there was a fund raiser where all of the houseguest show up at, a lot of cash could be raised for her even more than the $25,000. Fans could send donations to the fund raiser.

Dunno if it's the age, the upbringing, or what but she seems to be more of a "material girl" than not. Unfortunately, it is only age sometimes that can give one perspective and a big picture to look at that goes way beyond anything that can be replaced, ya know?

I think they have to tell her before the party after the show, and give her the option not to do interviews if she wants to. I'm just afraid some idiot is going to yell something at her about it before Nick or her family tell her...she doesn't deserve that.

(and if a JeJo fanclub managed to raise enough money to get Jeff on a plane from LA to Japan as part of his Around the WOrld For Free thing, I suspect there are enough Brit fans to help replace anything she's lost...)

Posted this in the live thread but I'll repeat and detail more here.

I didn't want Brit to win, and still hope she doesn't. But at least now if she does I won't be as upset/annoyed as I otherwise would have been.

Wilson we aer on the same wavelenght. I also said I bet given the timing there will be situations for Brit to get donations or have benefits held that will help if not cover her losses. And I too hope that since Nick moved them in, maybe some of Brit's sentimental stuff is still at her parents. Also, she's lucky in that she should have her core clothes with her in LA.

What I think will be telling is how she was saying to Nick to get rental insurance (odd huh?!) on the feeds. I hope I'm wrong, but I see her as the kind to hold a grudge. Heck, one of Nick's few comments was he was scared she would be mad at him.

As I said in the other thread, I think this may make or break their relationship, and show if they are the real deal or not!

I was thinking about this. I don't know exactly when Nick moved their stuff into the house, but there is a usually a 30-day waiting period from the time the policy is written until a claim is considered a "covered claim." I hope for their sake he bought renters' insurance as soon as they moved in and not within the last 30 days.

PS...Also she won 10K in the house. If she doesn't win AC, I wouldn't be surprised if BB gives her a little extra for PR reasons. Plus if Lane or Hayden win, esp Lane, I could see them giving her some $$$. Since the value of the damage was stated at 50,000, and that includes the structure as well as personal property, and sounds like she should have a leg up on at least replacing the "stuff."

The important thing is Nick is Ok and all the pets are OK. And if Brit can't accept that and IS mad, then that to me really shows her true colors. But time will tell (and of course she should be4 upset at first).

I am extremely glad Nick got the dogs out alive. It is only stuff that is lost. This might sound mean. But alot of us have been saying that Brit should worry about karma when she is being so mean. Maybe karma just caught her. *ducks flying objects from Brit fans*

I would be shocked if BB/CBS gave her additional money. No way do I believe they would.

Lane and Hayden might help her some, but they need to do it the right way or she will get hit with high taxes.

Mummy, if Brit doesn't win AC (and I think she has a good shot at it based on them only showing her funny side and leaving out her mean girl side), I could easily see BB/CBS or a sponsor giving her a 5 or 10 grand bonus. You figure they would do a check presentation and get feature stories out of it. For that small an amount to a network, it's well worth it to get the positive PR back!

So IMHO it's just a wise PR move for them, not a grand personal gesture. And Lake LOLOL I thought of the Karma thing but wasn't brave enough to post it lolol

Well, the homeowners should have homeowners insurance which would cover damage to the property and structure. I hope for their sake that they do have renters' insurance to pay for "contents." It is very likely that the homeowners insurance carrier would subrogate against the renters' insurance carrier to recover damages to the property/structure.

I feel sorry about Brit losing her stuff in the fire. That is all.
