Is it just me or does Allison own a lot of clothing ? I know I'm a minimalist when it comes to stuff so to me some of these ladies have way too much for their situations. What's with the quantity over quality. Doesn't all this stuff add stress not to mention the credit card bills!!!

I recall, from the original episode, that Allison's monthly medical expenses were only $360 a month. Yet, she was soliciting donations, on her website, to pay for them. More likely, it was to pay for her wine habit.

She's paying $800 rent every month. They showed her house at the beginning of the season, before the couples arrived for their boot camp. It was too much house, and lawn, for someone living alone. I'll bet she also has to pay someone for yardwork.

I agree her paying 800.00 monthly for the area she lives in is way to much she could find something very nice for allot less if she didn't quote "look for validation in material things" which is what she said yesterday after the session.. I do believe the reason they brought her back was for her to step out of the victim role but you can't help someone who doesn't want to be help.. from one Alnon to another step out of the role of always justifying that you deserve to be a total unresponsbile ##### just cause you had a crappy childhood.

That's the difference between you and Allisham. YOU pay your credit card bills - SHE didn't. On top of scamming people for $$ on her internet site to help with her "medical bills" ...

LAST EDITED ON 07-31-06 AT 11:19 AM (EST)I guess what I really hate about SO House is that so many of the
housemates use their experience on SO House and that notoriety in order to gain money from other people. Now, am I mistaken, or is that not dealing with the problems that brought them to SOH? I am sorry to hear about Allyson, life is way too hard if you don't pay your bills, and are living on credit cards... oh, well, better her than me! Cheers, Anny

In case you didn't know it, you're in the majority. Those who pay their credit card bill in full every month. Only 34% don't. Most people I've known who use credit cards don't like to carry checks or lots of cash with them. Those who think everyone who uses credit cards lives beyond their means don't understand this. Non credit card holders who use payday advance or title loans services or living beyond their means, too. Paying steep interest rates. And, setting themselves up for big trouble if they default on their payments.

>Oh she would of been over her limit years ago!! Good one! It's truely sad that this woman so does not have her life together in her 40's. She still holding onto this cotton candy dream of having a man and a family will make everything ok. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you get tons of other issues and problems to deal with as well. She so busy whining about what she doesn't have, she's not even taking care of what she does. If I survived something as tough as cancer I would be thanking the lord daily. I feel bad she had a bad childhood. That must truely stink but to pull a Dr Phil here, how long is she going to beat that horse? It's the past. Move on! You got bigger problems on your plate that I don't see her dealing with.

LAST EDITED ON 08-03-06 AT 06:59 PM (EST)But, how bad was her childhood, really? Not so bad that her parents didn't make a great big deal of her birthday every year. On the MB's, posters who've had truly abusive childhoods say their abusers didn't take the day off for their birthday.
And, isn't Iyanla encouraging Allison's cotton candy dream, to some extent? To find herself a "Boo Boo"? The first thing she asked Allison, at Christie's 5K, was, "have you found your 'Boo Boo' yet?" Then, she points and says "I see one over there." Give it a rest!

Allison has to declare bankruptcy to pay off her credit card debts. She lived beyond her means - "large". Today she reverted to her 6 year old innocent persona when discussing her debts with both Iyanla and the bankruptcy lawyer. She doesn't get it. She is over 40 and cannot manage her spending. She is a self-declared "wino" with a shopping addiction because she feels "fat" and "ugly". Does anyone pity this greedy pig?

And, let's not forget she once had Iyanla conned into thinking her debt was due to cancer.
"When she first came to the" SOH "she led me to believe that her debt was mostly due to her medical bills, but now I'm seeing that Allison's debt has a lot more to do with uncontrolled spending than it does with her illness."

Iyanla was so incredibly soft on her little favorite Allison.Can you imagine if one of the other HG's had conned her like that?Like any over indulgent parent{so to speak}she did her more harm than good by giving her no consequences for lying.

I could see her as someone who would be pushed to the brink easily.Everything and everyone is so overwhelming to her.She overacts to even the slightest hint of critiscism and must remain the center of attention at all times.I'm betting those suicide attempts were just dramatic gestures but she could have ended up really doing it without meaning to.SO life coaches were in over their heads with Allison {and Meg,Bethany,Kim,and Lisa 1}.Thats my two cents anyway.

Allison as a spiritual advisor is hysterical.Will she make people "whine to the universe"?Will she provide financial advice?
"Now your first step is to get as many credit cards as possible and start shopping.Then you're ready to quit your job....."What about helping overweight people? Well, maybe she could do that.Iyanla tries to supervise Jill's diet so I guess you can be really fat and still counsel people on not eating too much.But Allison could never have helped anyone anyway.Whatever their problems were she would tell them she had that same problem only ten times worse and then proceed to make the entire session about herself.

And, I couldn't agree with your earlier post more. That Iyanla, to Allison's detriment, was far too soft on her. I was watching the episode where Dr Stan announced that evening's BOR and Allison, fearing she'd be graduating, pulled out all the stops. "Hyperventilating" and dabbing at her eyes. Cut to Iyanla hugging Allison and then rubbing her feet, yet again.ENABLER! Iyanla's made a useless, pampered pet of her. And, Allison's just eating it up. Leave all that special treament behind? For the real world? Are you kidding?

I was tearing up (tears of humour not sadness) when Allison complained she was not getting a makeover or a graduation outfit. I think Iyanla was trying Chinese water torture by giving our girl the hippo outfit she selected. No birthday cake from Mommy and now no makeover! Life sucks!

I wonder if she is upset this week.Now that her graduation has aired and there is no more SO she won't be on TV anymore.Unless they finish the series up by playing the race again.I hope so!I missed seeing Allison running up over the hill and from what everyone has posted it was pretty hysterical.

28. "RE:Allison's peep-show with her scar." |
I think it is several different things at once.A need to generate sympathy,a hope that someone will notice and strike up a conversation,a not-so-subtle reminder to all the other HG's that they better remember who the real "victim" is,all of this just combines together until it is almost impossible to sort out.One of the most clear-cut ways the life coaches failed Allison was in not confronting her about her need to expose that scar as much as possible.

Carriem, I agree with everything you said; however, I do wonder if she realizes how unattractive it really is. Her blouses always seem slanted and showing the scar more. Did she have both breasts removed? Can't remember!

Allison never brought them up until Jessica discussed losing her mother on 9/11. And, never mentioned them since. No need to. Once she'd one-upped Jessica. I'll bet she hadn't talked to the two women since before 9/11. Or, talked to her ex-boyfriend since then. He called her from the Holland Tunnel, I think she said. So, I don't find it odd that none of them talked on the phone this season. I did found it odd, though, that after all their phone calls during her first stay in the SOH, she and Patrick didn't talk any this past season. Other than seeing her off, with Bethany, when she left for her last stay in the SOH, and sending flowers for her birthday, we heard nothing about Patrick all season.

32. "RE: Boo Hoo! No shopping spree for Allison!" |
LAST EDITED ON 08-29-06 AT 05:54 PM (EST)Yepper, Allison had obviously gained weight in the three months since her graduation. Guess she had to give up the $250 a month gym and trainer after filing bankruptcy. And not only was Allison's "running" over the hill hysterical, so was the entire conversation between her and Iyanla, while strolling down the race course.
IV: So, how you doing? AS: I an great. IV: Yeah? AS: Yeah. IV: How's the move coming? AS: I'm having a hard time transferring with my work. IV: Really? AS: But, I'm gonna. It's gonna happen. IV: Yeah? AS: I love school. After a brief interlude, Allison in the confessional, we're returned to the conversation. AS:...Joy. (I think that's her niece's name. She must've been discussing her with Iyanla) IV: (Breaking in) So, how's "Boo boo?" (Sheeesh, will she and Rhonda ever quit pushing these women to get themselves a man) AS: Haven't found him yet. IV: Oh, well. AS: But, I'm open. IV: Wait a minute! That looks like a "boo boo," over there, to
me. Let's go! And, with Allison, giggling stupidly, in tow, Iyanla runs out of camera range. Tell me, Iyanla. How, busy with school and trying to transfer her job so she can move, does Allison have time to look for any "boo boos"? Besides, she's no man magnet, with the weight she's put on since graduating. And, her "performance" on SO this past season.
