true already posted this information in LadyT's thread, but I thought I'd put it on the main board for those surfers who might miss it. As always, don't go if you don't want to know what happens tomorrow (Tuesday) night:'Big Brother 2' Houseguest Evicted Saturday

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Warning! This story contains spoiler information about "Big Brother 2."
Fans of "Big Brother 2" who haven't been following the live Internet feeds missed the identity of the last person to be evicted Saturday, when CBS decided to hold the election which determines who gets booted off the show, despite the fact that the program was preempted until the following Tuesday (Sept. 18).
The eviction show, which normally airs live, was recorded live-to-tape on Saturday to air Tuesday in special two-hour edition of the reality-based show, the network announced last Friday. However, those watching the live feeds were able to see the latest evictee, Monica, leave the house with bags in tow. In addition, CBS announced today that it will now cut back Tuesday's show to only one hour, likely airing the episode taped Saturday.
What viewers won't likely be seeing is the recaps from the previous week, showing the houseguests' reaction to last Tuesday's tragedy.
Also revealed during the show was the winner of the Head of Household competition, Nicole, who booted out Monica. Nicole and Will, the last two remaining players, will remain in the house until Thursday when the nine evicted houseguests (excluding Justin Sebik, who was removed from the house for threatening a fellow player) will return to vote for the final winner.
It is unsure whether during the taping on Saturday if the houseguests, Will, Nicole and Monica, were told that the "live show" would not be airing that night. Before Monica's eviction, Nicole said that she hadn't been "this ill ever during a live show."
Monica, the only contestant from New York, will finally be able to regroup with her family. Her cousin, who works near the World Trade Center, is among those missing since last Tuesday's attack.

Oh, by the way, the Washington Post reports that only the American and Dutch residents of BB houses were told about the terrorist attack; BB houseguests in Belgium, Denmark and South Africa were not told:

Isn't that carrying the unreality of Reality TV a little too far?
