I realize it's a game but it's sad to see you trying to use your body to
get your way, lieing about being someone's friend. Two people got kicked
off because of your attitude of 'the world owed you'. You were favored
until you pulled that kind of stuff.
You totally blew it when you nominated Dana and didn't get rid of
Justin! I was argeeing with your original alliance when they said to put
up Justin and get rid of him. Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda! I am hoping what
comes around goes around for you on the upcoming weeks.
You acted like the spoiled brat

Interview with Alison's mother courtesy of fansite: http://www.alisonirwinonline.com
Q will be a question by the website
A is the answer by Alison's mother
Q: What type of education does she have? Some say she is still in college others say she graduated? What is her educational background?
A: Alison graduated from Pitt with a BS in Exercise Science. She plans on taking her LSAT's in October and starting law school in another year. She had a 3.5 at Pitt.
Q: Is Alison a hometown celebrity now?
A: Alison has been a hometown celebrity all her life. With a father as a lawyer and her mother a teacher and trainer it was hard not be be known. Ali also was a National level figure skater and has travelled all over the country as a singles and ice dance competitor until she was 18. At 20 she was crowned Miss Crawford County so once again back in the headlines. Now our local paper has the "Alison Watch " after every show.
Q: How did you feel when Alison got nominated? When Nate took her off the nomination block?
A: Ali and Dana's problem I think was Dana's "thing" for Justin. She saw Ali as a threat to that relationship.
Q: Have you spoken to Alison's current boyfriend? How is he feeling after watching the show?
A: She is madly in love with Donny. Donny and I talk almost everyday. Ali's father and I will be at his first home football game at Bloomsburg on August 30th. His birthday was hard but he got by and her's will be hard also. Alison's brother, J.R. and Donny are also very close.
Q: How did you feel when Justin walked into the house?
A: I figured out it was Justin before he walked in. Alison has only had 5 boyfriends. I knew where all of them were but Justin so I felt sure it would be him.
Q: If you could pick up the phone and call Alison to give her one piece of advice, what would that advice be?
A: If I could call her I would tell her I love her and keep playing the game.
Q: Do you believe that CBS (via editing) is portraying Alison as she is in real life?
A: I think CBS shows you clips of what they want. I know they spent 4 and 1/2 hours here on the Sat. before Nate took her off the block. We retaped things over and over. Alison in real life has a temper to match anyone. She has controled it on the show very well. I'm proud of that! She is VERY loyal and I don't think we have the true picture about her and Nate. She is VERY family orienated and VERY loving.
Q: Let’s address some of the Internet rumors.
First, has Alison smuggled a computer into the house and created her own e-mail and website.
A: She doesn't have a computer...she couldn't even take an eyebrow pencil. Nothing she could write with.
Q: Second, is it true that Alison was involved in an abusive relationship? Provide as many or as few details as you would like to share
A: She was in a 4 year abusive relationship. That's why her platform was "Hands Against Domestic Violence." She spoke to many groups and raised over $6,000.00 for our local women's shelter.The young man has gotten help and I hope changed. We never knew as she was always bruised from triple jumps that she was learning at the time.The day we found out, her father pulled her from the house, and I took her to the hospital for the beating. It has made Alison the person she is. She is slow to trust but once you have that trust it will last forever unless you betray her.
Q: Third, does Alison only prefer to be called Alison not Ali or any other shortened version of her name.
A: She likes Ali or Alison...some call her AL but Donny calls her "Princess."
Q: How close were Justin and Alison while they were dating? Was it a bad breakup? How long were they together? Does she still carry feeling for Justin?
A: Ali still has feelings for Justin as a person. She and Justin were together for 7 months. We went to his matches and he has been to our home. However Donny came before and after Justin so I feel that was their main hangup. Donny was never been out of the picture. Justin never really had a chance.
Q: Is there anything Alison has done in the house that you wish she would not have done? Anything that makes you proud of her?
A: We are proud of Alison for ever trying this. It was hard to decide to give up her work as a Miss America local contestant. She was very proud of her titles. They took alot of time and work and she was able to reach so many with her platform. Competing against 20- 30 women for her titles has made her driven to to do well. The pagent world is hard. She not only had to have a strong talent, 40% of the score but a good interview, also 40% of her score. Bathing suit was 10% which she almost always won. (as she did interview)
Alison comes from a family of competitors. Her grandfather was second in the NCCA wrestling from PSU. Her father played BB at PSU. I was a gymnast at PITT. She is there to play the game. She will do what she has to to win.
We love Ali very much and miss her. I talked to her 2-3 times everyday before this happened. I will feel very down on her birthday as she is always with me. She was home almost every weekend. I can't tell you how close our family is. We all watch and hope she can make it to the end.
