Ilyanna keep trying but I just don't think you can cnhange Allison's need to please and I think she will always have that everything is just fine smile on her face no matter how hard she tries to change at the SO house. She's been in this house too long and if she doesn't get it by now it is time for her to go and hopefully she will stay healthy and do the best she can but you just cna't change her southern upbringing and need to please and put on that face! ciao alli and good luck to you. Time for more new and fresh faces for 06!

I used to like Allison -- LAST SEASON. Now she is a waste of space. I think that they brought her back to link the SO2 house to the SO3 house, but they brought the wrong person back! Allie needs more help than Iyanla can offer. She needs a couch to deal with her mommy issues, AA for her alcohol issues and 24 hour fitness to deal with her weight issues. All of those things are not in the house!

I still can't figure out what Allison's deal is. Why is she even in the house? It's almost like IV is trying to figure out what else is wrong with her to try to fix. Let her leave already.

I absolutely agree. What bothers me is we KNOW she is going to graduate soon. Today IV was talking about how she was making the wrong choices when she had to "fill her bucket of love" by taking help from others when there were holes in the love she was receiving and then thanking them instead of choosing to fill her bucket herself. She completely lost it when she came home from Houston and also when she learned Jessica was graduating before she was. Well how can she go from not getting it at all this late stage in the game to the praise we KNOW they are going to be giving her on her progress and what she achieved?

True: You can't change a Southern Belle. But a Southern Belle can change herself if she really wants to, if she's really open, willing and moltivated to change.
