>On the one hand, Cassie just bugs the hell out of me. I feel sort of bad about it because she seems like a nice person, but she just grates.
>I also don't like the trend of returning housemates since I'm usually more than happy to see the back of these chicks. On the other hand, I am kind of curious about Cassie meeting her son and I always thought there was something weird going on with the adoptive family, so I'd like to get more details.<

I agree. She seems nice enough, but something about her grates on me, and the mad crush on the creepy John Davidson weirded me out.

I got the impression that she was graduated from the house because the production team (or whoever it is who makes the decisions as to when the women are graduated or are unceremoniously booted from the house) felt that her "story" was getting stale. She seems very fragile, and I'm not at all sure that she left the Starting Over house any better able to handle her fears, her difficult past, and/or future difficulties than she had been before she'd come in.

There's another spoiler -- probably further down in she spoiler section now -- maybe on page two or three, where somebody lists the experts who will appear on the show over the course of the next month, including, I think, the Nestle Nutritionist who was in last week to pass around a chunk of lard and to recommend frozen entrees. Others on the list were the attorney who's been advising Christina as to how she should go about getting the photos of her removed from escort sites, and the bankruptcy attorney who met with Allison.

A couple of the experts listed are affiliated with addiction-related programs, and there's been speculation as to who in the house might've needed to speak with an addiction specialist. Maybe it's Cassie's son. Or, shoot, maybe it's Cassie herself. Even if she hasn't fallen off the wagon, the show might be sending her to an addiction specialist so that she can discuss her struggle with alcohol.
