SAME. Though this article about it is... weird. Like did her family get a say in when she was told? Was it the producers? Hoping it's just that the article was poorly written. Only at People's website to cancel my subscription.
In a brighter note, I love Tom Bergeron. And I'd love it if some season they had Alphonso host or someone else and Tom were a contestant. Though I'm sure there are "fairness" issues (like that stopped ABC with Ginger Zee's guaranteed contract lbr).
Oh dear. I think (I hope) the article just seems to be missing details. I know that when I was away at college my mom kept things from me (dad losing his job, the dog getting sick, etc.) because she wanted me to focus on college and not worry, so Laurie's family might have been doing the same. I mean, it's not like Project Runway or Survivor where they're isolated from their families, so presumably any of her relatives could have called and told her?
I don't know who Ginger Zee is, but I like the Tom Bergeron idea!
