She has quite a few web sites out there already. She also has youth, charisma, and looks. If she can act, I'm sure some tv show can use her. Hey, the girl can even cry on cue! She would be great on a soap opera. She definitely has the most potential of any BB contestant so far.

I dunno.... I'm suddenly liking Jun as an entertainment event on-air reporter. She looked pretty comfy holding that VMA mike!

I hope not. I can't stand to see or hear her.

I think Alison seems to have a lot going for her, but to me, she doesn't have charisma or any kind of appeal. I'm trying to be unbiased and just look at her without any feelings towards her as a houseguest. She isn't extraordinarily beautiful, IMHO. I think Erika is stunning. And, I agree with Bonza about Jun. She has this cuteness to her that I find appealing.

Plenty of reality tv personalities have done on-air reporting but none have become stars. Ali is very popularity with young men and that can at least get her a pictorial in a major men's magazine like Stuff, Maxim, or even Playboy. But I still think she'd be great on a soap opera.

I dunno about her acting....her voice is like nails on a blackboard to me....

Hmm...Will had much more charisma, looks and charm than Ali could ever muster. He's another reality footnote as Ali will soon be. Thankfully.

Am I missing something? I have yet to see one quality that would make her a star.

No.

I don't see any charisma either, and I find her voice very grating.

Not her. Not any of them.

I think she'd make a great dead body :) Oh that reminds me DINNER TIME :)

I don't think her face and her voice are star quality.

And Ketchuplover, That was the extent of my Dad's movie career. He was a covered body on a stretcher being carried away in a war movie...LOL

This is BB's most successful installment to date and CBS will definitely try to promote at least one person from this group. Ali has the MOST potential of any previous or current houseguest to become a star.

Ali can get a voice coach for her "grating" voice and an acting coach. She's awfully driven and ambitious. I wouldn't bet against her.

I still don't understand why this year is so successful, it is the worst one, IMO.

Alison..a star?? GAWD! I hope not!! Although I do like KL dead body scenerio!!

I don't think she needs an acting coach, she always appears to be acting when she talks in the diary room.

URGGG!!! I can't stand her!

Alison may be driven, but she's not very charismatic. That's what makes a star. If Jerry Manthey couldn't make herself a star out of one of the most popular seasons of Survivor, what makes anyone think Alison could parlay this gig into anything more than ribbon-cutting ceremonies at Costco openings?

I could see her being a star on late night infomercials for bargain-basement plastic surgeons advertising cut-rate nose jobs (one of those "before" and "after" demonstrations). Other than that, I'd rate her star potential as virtually non-existent.

It's all about packaging. I want to throw up every time someone says how beautiful Jennifer Aniston is. Huh? But she seems to be doing pretty well.

Jerry Manthey was already too old, or at least old looking (I don't recall her age) to launch a Hollywood career. I'm not saying she is too old or unattractive but her ingenue <sp?> days were far behind her and her lucky break did not come in the preceeding years.

Alison is young enough and driven enough and she has some time to kick around. And she always has law school to fall back on if the breaks don't come.

I can't stand the girl but I think she is at least young enough to give it a go if she wants to. But she will have to lose a lot of weight. She's has a beautiful, healthy body for real life but not for Hollywood.

Appeal is not always girl next door. Appeal is about interest. And there sure is a lot of interest in Alison on this board and the net.

Alison's energy would be amazing in any adult movie. I can see her cast in the title role for the upcoming pay per view feature presentation, "Big Brother, Bigger is Better".

After watching about a half hour of the MTV VMA--all I could stand--I'd say that Alison or any of the other HGs has more appeal and charisma than what passes for talent or starpower today. We, on this board, may criticize the taste and demeanor of the HGs, but compared to the VMA display of trashiness, crudeness, and vulgarity, the HGs are Tiffany quality. I'd even rather watch Robert and Dana than the freaks on that award show. And my age has nothing to do with it!

Youth rules! And Alison's appeal is solid with teens and twentysomethings, especially men. She could easily be added to the cast of some hip youth-oriented drama on FOX, UPN, or WB.

As for her weight, Alison just gained a few pounds during her stay at the house. She looks great in all of her beauty pageant pictures.
