Someone was thinking about the first board of review... With Allison having technically graduated... I wonder how they will work her situation. Treat her the same way? Get graded on her work? Graduate again?

I don't remember her getting graduation gifts and I think she knew she was coming back... I definitely don't think they are going the same route as they did with Maureen when they bought her back. But then again.... Allison's story is unique to the house...an ongoing battle.. and one many women will deal with at some point. So telling the whole story.... is definitely important!

(Someone may need to refresh my stale memory as to how they celebrated Allison's graduation from SO2...!)

When Allison graduated she did get some gifts, although at the time I thought they were not exactly "fun." She got sessoins with a nutritionist and I'm not sure what else, but I think they were all related to her treatment and recovery.

I think they are considering this just like a new housemate, she will have somewhat different issues to work on and probably graduate from that success. This time I think they are not just targeting her surviving cancer, but what came before that was making her unhappy.

I don't think they will just turn her loose, like they did with Maureen.

Allison also got a treadmill and an invitation back as graduation gifts.

Since she's working on different goal and steps, she'll likely graduate again and will receive new gifts.

Even though Allison graduated, I think they are treating her more like they did Josie. In the last house they dealt more with Allison's cancer issues. This season they appear more concerned her moving beyond the cancer.
