We began to hang out with a group of people who were in our age bracket, and alot of fun. We all had soooooo many freat times. We hung out with one of our workers in particular. He had three roommates, and we would always pre game at his house. All of us would get entirely too drunk ( or maybe it was just me). Anyway we would also end up there at the end of the night.
Now at first, and yes, insert naive jokes and comments here, i truly thought when i went to sleep on the couch, and Ali went to the bedroom thih the guy who worked for us, I truly thought they were sleeping. Now our company has a strict non fraternal policy. Managers, cannot have any relationship other than friends with any one ranking below us. Any how i am easy going and consecrate both my great friends. Well night after night, all of which she would sleep in his room and come out wearing his boxers, saying they were just friends.
I know how naive can I be, but I was a sheltered child, and continued my faith is her. She went on vacation and some evidence arouse! Undeniable evidence that she was sleeping with our employee, under stricy company policy, and giving him preferential hours. He was my key witness.
Now what would a best friend do in that situation? Duh, tell her what is going om, with attempts to keep it from getting to home office! So i call her, with full intent to cover it up, right? Well she denies every bit of it. I tell her i'm on your side, she still denies it. Then my conscience kicks in. I call them both my friend right? What would i expect a true friend to do? I then realize "Joe", the secret lover who had been dating her for three months, and has true feelings for her, while she is just having fun and toying with yet another unsuspecting victim, is also my friend. So i buckle down and call my superiors on her, also i tell her what i did. I did that because she wouldn't be honest with me, yet i still didn't want there to feel the pain of an unsuspecting blow, sush as i did.
What does she do? Calls our superiors, and lies to them , telling them it was me who was having an affair, with our worker.So i quit, it was too much that my best friend couldn't be honest with me, but to have her project it on me, i couldn't deal with the torture of deception.
When i quit, out of our 38 employees, 14 quit with me, because they would not support her lying, and deviging. So yes, it took me a long time to get over it. I was too young and green to deal with that. But, i will say this as someone she once even called affectionately " her baby sis" and her dog brady's " mamma 2", what you see her doing and acting like on those shows, is truly her and to a t.Now i am older and wiser and can look back and say "I learned about human nature and myself".
I should not have been so fiercely loyal to her, because then i would not have had so much hurt. But i learned from it and can now say " Thank you Allison Irwin for the lesson learned, about trust and loyalty, because if you had not been the one to betray me, some guy would have, and it probably would have hurt worse in that sisuation, so thank you for helping me grow up, i hope you will do the same.
And heres an update on me. I am happy now, i have a loving hot boyfriend, and i love him. I don't think i would be capable of a love like this were it njot for the situation with you, so thank you for that. I am now a mature 21 year old who wishises you the best, i hope one day you are happy, i hope you win big brother all stars, and i hope one day you are as happy as i am now. I would not be the person i am today, with the strength i have now, with out my time spent with you.
good luck truly
samantha kohn

Hello to to all that hate me and love me, No this is not Alison but her ex-best friend Samantha Kohn. It has been a while since I have been through the painful turmoil that was Alison Irwin. I can now see how nieve I was to trust her or anything she said in the first place. See I met her after she filmed the amazing race, it had not yet even aired on television. Her and I went to the video store togerther after work ( see we worked together everyday, and thats actually how i met her) and big brother 5 had just come out on DVD. We went in halves together and baught it. After watching it i asked her" Ali, dude, how could you be so manipulative and cold hearted to those people in the house? i mean some of them truly trusted you, and you turned your back on them". She quickly responded with " The producers of the show instigated that".
And Aidan, you poor stupid soul, I had priorly been on a tv show called elimidate, granted it is not as big as bb4, and it is truly corny, byt there is a reason. While on the show, there were 3 producers on site, one of which was Ali and my only connecting friend upon meeting. They truly do instigate every word much less every action. Seriously, I was there 9 hours before finally being elimidated 2nd! Which was a blessing, because i had to flip the two other girls and the dude out of a hammock to finally be released from the truly dissapointing show! So i thought she fell for the same producer act that i had. Unfortunatly, you get what you see with her. She truly is mean spirited, and cruel. And actually, you friggin blog dorl, Aidan, I do know her, and well at that. I understand that you percieve her as the understated reality TV queen, who is rightously is herself unapogatically, and plays the game for what it is, and i will give you that. She truly is! But as a former best friend of hers' , it sucks badly when you have nothing but faith in a person and they set out to hurt you.
For all of you who keep up with this site, either every day, or every year, you have probably read either my posts or posts about me, and i want all of you to know the truth. Ali is really fun, i mean a blast to hang out with. Maybe our friendship would have lasted, but i worked with her. We werte the managers of a popular store, that had tons of really attractive people working for us. We hung out with and made friends with some of them. Now i was the very youngest manager in the entire company nation wide. Ali and i were both a team and friends. to be continued.................
