IMO alcohol and cigarettes should have been banned from the SO house from the first day of season 1. Too bad they had to wait until the end of season 3 before the LC's stepped in and decided that alcohol was no longer allowed.

I too thought it interesting that Iyanla gets in Kims face about her alcohol and actions yet never mentioned alcohol to Allison.

I also thought it interesting that Kim was drinking enough that she was buying her own hootch instead of what the HG used their grocery budget to buy. I also do not think it is the first time Kim has 'blocked out', even though it may be the first time it was shown on tv. Kim stated in group she goes out with her girlfriends to the bars and she loves it when men from the bars tell her how pretty she is. ...... BIG CLUE - drunks in a bar telling a drunk brunette how pretty she is really isn't a compliment it is meant as a means to get her in the sack. Kim definately has a problem with booze, no matter if her husband's problem is worse than hers or not. I was glad she got called on it. I also thought she dealt with it better than any other time the HG's have called her on her actions. I expected her to be in everyones face demanding an explanation but she seemed to take the criticism very well. There may be hope for her yet.
