SOWayz 179 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 11-25-05, 02:07 AM (EST) "Coming back doesn't work" Has anyone noticed that bringing housemates back just doesn't work? Allison, Josie and Chloe, Andy and the rest. Even though they were interesting the first time around, they lose their appeal when they come back. Allison is a complete disaster and is having a negative affect on the whole show.   Top

I also think Iyanla is regretting her decision asking Allison to come back. The way she was just so fed up with Allison on Wednesday's show was a good example of that. By watching the show, I get so interested in these people's lives that I like when they makes an appearance on the next season. I wish Jennifer from Season 2 would come back just to update Iyanla on how she is. She is by far my favorite of all the women.   Top

Agree........goes to show that the LC's are graduting these ladies even though they never got the process (sic-still chucling over the words: get the process-go with it-etc) and or achieved any of their goals.   Top

"RE: Coming back doesn't work" Although, it was a hoot when they brought back Cassie #1. She was brought back so her old friends could intervene with her drinking, but she had been told she was there to counsel Hailey. So there was a lot of interesting conflict there.   Top

Hotgurl1805 3 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-26-05, 02:57 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" I disagree coming back does work. Josie came back after she had her baby. She is now a responsablie mother with a full time job. She can back because she needed some guidence,as all of us do sometimes. Just because the HM graduate doesn't mean they won't stumble and need help along the way. Its great that the HM can still recive the help they need eventhough they are no longer on the show.   Top

SOfan0221 828 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 11-28-05, 08:53 AM (EST) 17. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" While I am not saying Josie is a bad mother, how can you tell from a guest appearance on SO that she is a good mother? She said herself she works 7 days a week and 70 hours, that doesn't leave much time for mothering a two year old. I thought it odd that after all the 'Chloe is my life and I can't trust anyone to care for her' that when she did leave for a couple hours and Chloe was left in the care of Jessica that Chloe seemed to have cared less. That indicates to me that Chloe is left with someone while Josie works and Chloe certainly did not appear to be afraid of strangers. Josie's life as a single mother is neither better or worse than the thousands of other single mothers out there trying to make it alone with a baby. It is a long, hard haul to raise a child alone without the help and support of the father (or in some cases the father has custody with no help from the mother). I know, I raised two by myself with a dead bead dad. Josie probably had it better on SO than at any other time in her life. While I don't dislike Josie, I hope I don't see her in every subsequent season of SO until Chloe is grown. There is only so much that SO can do, the goal is to get you going and you take the momentum and move forward.   Top

"RE: Coming back doesn't work" >Has anyone noticed that bringing housemates >back just doesn't work? Allison is a >complete disaster and is having >a negative affect on the >whole show. It just goes to show how SO really does not work and the LC's know diddley-squat about helping people change their lives. It's not really a show about helping people. It's just about exploiting people.   Top

sharon2 22 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 11-25-05, 01:11 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" I don't really mind the returns. Actually, I thought Maureens was valid, Andy? She, at least, returned with something to offer. And Allison, of course. I object to the way they've used her, not helped her, but I lay little blame of Allison herself. Cassie2 is someone that could riled up everyone even more than Allison if she ever returned. lol Better yet, Christine2 who was the only hg that outwardly defied Rhonda and really didn't give a crap. I don't watch regularly anymore, don't even tape but I did catch Lisa being exiled last week. Now *there* is someone SOH may never get rid of. And yeah right...they sent her to a beautiful guestroom, allow her to eat and converse with the others. What a joke. Bet she giggles herself to sleep.   Top

FMkelly 8 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-25-05, 01:03 PM (EST) 5. "Is Allison an alcholic? " Is Allison an alcholic? On a web site written by an recovering alcholic I found this statement "I find feelings of "shame, self-hatred, or helplessness" to be distinctly unproductive when it comes to getting sober." Allison has echoed this same comments. It is also a known fact that children of alcholics tend to become alcholics themselves. She "buries the bottle" yet afterward she has a tall glass of wine and says she is "boardline alcholic". She is denial that fact she is one. (another trait of someone who has a drinking problem.) Another statement from the web site "I think my attitudes toward the unfairness and happenstance of life has a lot to do with my ability keep going even though things appear very bleak." Sound familiar? The only way she is ever going to get well is to accept the fact that she is like an alcholic like her father and brother and get help for it. The web site can be found here: http://www.unhooked.com/keepers/what_matters_is_what_I_do.htm   Top

bevecaj 5 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-25-05, 02:05 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Is Allison an alcholic? " I come from an alcholic home and can tell you that I truly believe she is an alcholic. They do come in many forms and some people beleive that because they are not binge drinkers or get falling down drunk they are not alcholics. My parent drinks every night and when we talk on the phone I cant tell if has had a drink or not. It takes a strong person to stay with an alcholic. My stepparent has told me that they have really thought about packing their bags and leaving but the love that they share with my parent keeps them around. My stepparent knows that my parent wont change but is really proud that my sister and I have not followed in our parent's steps. My Brother also is an alcoholic, not a daily drinker alcoholic as far as I know, but a falling down drunk. He goes for days with no drinking then will drink for 10 days straight being slammed all the time. I believe that Allison really needs to have this nipped in the bud before she can cope with her self hatred. Trying to change her self hatred first is not going to help. The booze will just find some other "feeling" to cling to so that she will drink.   Top

Hotgurl1805 3 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-26-05, 03:04 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Is Allison an alcholic? " I also think that Allison is an alcholic. She needs help and FAST. The other housemates needs need to confront her in front of the LCs. Im begining to wonder if perhaps she needs to check into a rehab program. She won't be able to fully work on her other goals until this problem is solved.   Top

GodsWomanFirst 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 11-26-05, 09:26 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Is Allison an alcholic? " As an addictions therapist, I have only one thing to say in reference to the burning question about Allison and her alcoholism...SURE SHE IS...WITHOUT A DOUBT!!! And what also gives this away was when she started talking about "Jimmy" and "HIS" drinking...typical alcoholic behavior.   Top

bookwomanblue 205 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 11-26-05, 07:01 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" I think it is valid that housemates come back sometimes. Just because you "start over" doesn't mean you are never going to have another problem or issue come up for the rest of your life. I just don't think they necessarily have to be broadcast. Maureen's fire brought forward issues that she had never really gotten to the first time around. The same thing is true of Allison. She had to concentrate on fighting cancer during her last stay and now is working on inner issues. But, the things like two days of Josie, are pointless, imo. I don't think it accomplished much of anything for the viewers.   Top

GodsWomanFirst 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 11-26-05, 09:32 PM (EST) 14. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" Don't get me wrong...I like Maureen, but it is clear that the fire brought up the old issues of loosing her loved ones which were supposed to have been resolved before she graduated. That raises the question as to wheather she actually did lay them to rest or was it just masked over. The same goes for Laurie...loved her and think that she is a great person, but on a recap of the first season, she was asked if she was still involved with the man she met while on the show and she said she was NOT...again...did she really get over the loss of her husband and was she really ready for a new relationship??? Was all of this time spent on the show a temporary fix???   Top

bookwomanblue 205 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 11-27-05, 09:20 AM (EST) 16. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" Lori didn't stay with the guy she was dating on SO, but that doesn't prove she didn't start over. Maybe he just wasn't the right guy! She has since met, dated and married another man so that sounds like a pretty successful start to me!   Top

maryellennaco 1084 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 11-26-05, 08:17 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" Bookwoman, you have a good point. Sometimes it works, others not. I think when Maureen came back, it was for a good cause. When they brought Josie back, I think it was to show how much Chloe had grown. REALLY! They all had just ooohed and aahed over her as a baby, that it was good to see her toddling around. Allison, on the other hand... is a big giant mess of "FACE TIME ON CAMERA"... She's got more problems than any of the LC's can deal with.. and every day there's another one. It's starting to look like "THE ALLISON SHOW".. I'm ready for her to PACK IT IN!!   Top

GodsWomanFirst 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 11-26-05, 09:36 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Coming back doesn't work" I agree with you 100% I am so sick of that fake and phony smile...seeing it makes me nauseated...Then one day, I see that profile sitting in the audience of the Ellen Show...do you think that Allison is camera hungry or what??? Did she think that Ellen would recognize her and bring her on stage for an interview...LOL   Top
