In what is remembered as one of the franchise’s more memorable moments, producers informed HouseGuests of what was happening despite the fact they were supposed to be isolated, and had to tell Monica Bailey that her cousin was still unaccounted for following the building’s collapse.
While Tommy Bracco was digging holes out in Staten Island on September 11, 2001, Big Brother was actually in the midst of Season 2.
Sometime later, it was revealed her cousin was among the lives lost that day.
