But that's just my point. IMHO, I do think she understands the word and uses it appropriately.

Sadly, I think SO has made this mistake a few times. But IMHO I don't think Allison is in that category. True, her story took on an even greater challenge than anticipated when it was discovered she had the cancer gene and I think it would have been irresponsible for SO not to continue with her. I never felt her behavior was disingenuous.

More egregious examples of SO biting off more than they could chew was poor Kim. I still have no idea why they graduated her. The kind of abuse she suffered is not something that can affectively be treated over 10 weeks on a reality show.

Josie was another hopeless case and, I believe, just brought in 3 weeks before her due date for ratings. Out of guilt and a sense of responsibility they asked her back for season 2, but sadly, she just never got it. I think that fact that her life is no better now (so I've heard) than it was before SO is testament to that. Whatever happened to that animal training thing...? Anyone? But I digress...

Without making this a contest of whose life has been more catastophic, I think it's safe to say that in the face of grave danger we all react differently, including Allison. Just because she didn't act the way you, I or others who accuse her of being fake would behave, doesn't mean what she was feeling wasn't real. She's got a lot on her plate.

And now we'll be getting a warning for going off topic. Duly noted moderators!
