This week on Reality Bombshell, Ben breaks down summer 2001's biggest reality hit- Big Brother Season 2. As the season continued into September, production was tasked with an impossible decision - leave the houseguests in the dark about the terrorist attacks, or break protocol and enter the house to deliver the news?

We revisit the moment producers told Monica Bailey that her cousin was missing in the Twin Towers, Tamitha's fate, the ethical dilemma CBS faced, and how Big Brother, a show built on isolation and surveillance, became a time capsule of America grappling with the aftermath of 9/11.
