Allison DuBois slamming blog...

From the blog:
Of course [Allison DuBois] doesn’t do that, and if anyone truly believes otherwise – especially after watching tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – they need to get their own head examined.

It was on reality TV, so it must be true. :rolleyes:
 
She doesn't mince her words, and I wish the rest of the world would start aggreeing. More and more psychic nights are taking over from music nights in pubs, and more people are saying 'she got so many things right that she couldn't have known'. Grrrr.
 
That was quite a read. I just wonder how a person, so lacking in any charm or grace, so unlikeable, got as far as she has.

It was also interesting that she used one of the same excuses her soul-mate Sylvia Brown used for not excepting Randi's Challenge. They have both said that Randi "doesn't have the money".

And I agree, I wish the woman writing this blog would join JREF.

Stick with the blog, because this "old broad" (not a clue who she is...) brings up the JREF and Randi. She also clearly tells why Allison DuBois is a fake. A good bit of skeptic writing and why the million dollar challenge is important. As long as they have to explain WHY they don't take the challenge, that's a good thing.

Ooooohh... I like her! Cranky, precise and fun to read.

Some of the links in that entry are a little rage-inducing.
 
Brava, Cranky Old Broad!!! Especially great that she included so many useful links in this posting.

(What do you suppose is really in Allison's "cigarette"?)

My guess is, rich and influential mean-girl friends. She just guested on an episode of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" (I don't know if that's old news that's been discussed to death already, so apologies if everyone knows this). I didn't watch the episode, but she was there as a guest of Camille Grammer (Kelsey's ex-wife).

Never underestimate the pull of the psychic community upon bored, wealthy Los Angeles housewives. (I hate that word "housewife," but "homemaker" suggests that they actually do something productive with their time.)

I watched the episode. DuBois was clearly hot reading. She asked one housewife if she had been married twice, and then admitted that if the housewife had responded that she was still on her first marriage, DuBois would have then told her that she was slated to have one divorce in her future, since DuBois "saw" two marriages for her.

The housewife was Kyle Richards, a former teen actress whose marital history isn't unknown to the denizens of the upper "echelon" of Beverly Hills, and, more significantly, whose current and second husband has been Kelsey Grammer's real estate agent for years. DuBois knew Richards would be attending the dinner party for several days prior, so clearly Camille Grammer had filled DuBois in on Richards' background. It would have been laughable if it hadn't been so painfully transparent. I almost felt sorry for DuBois...almost.

If she was planning to boost her profile by appearing on the show, she really couldn't have pulled it off more poorly. It sounds from your description like she sucked at the psychic aspect of it, and according to the entertainment sites and blogs I read regularly, she also happened to come across as a particularly ugly, cruel and heartless person. You need to work on your self-promotion skills, Allison.

Yes, she came across as a deeply unpleasant, immature, and unfeeling woman. She even commented in an aside that if Richards' children were to go missing, SHE wouldn't lift a finger to help find them. (She also made a big to do about how she has a "real" job "profiling serial killers" and had been proven authentic on the Oprah Winfrey show before millions of people. Demonstrably not true.)

Course, she was downing cocktails the size of wading pools-and several of the other women commented that the cocktails being served packed quite a punch after just a few sips. That DuBois managed to remain upright was either a fluke or an indication of her capacity for alcohol. I'm guessing the latter.

I had heard of Allison DuBois before seeing the episode last night, but had never paid any attention to her. After watching that, I find her as unpleasant and arrogant as Sylvia Browne-which seems to be her only real achievement.

Nuttier than a Payday bar.
 
From the link upstream, there is a further link to this article in the Phoenix New Times newspaper1:
http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/content/printVersion/804266/

I remember both those cases, and can't recall a mention of any psychic involvement.

Not a hatchet job, but not particularly flattering either.

However, if I had to be trapped in an elevator with either Allison or Sylvia, I know which one I would pick.

V.

1. for a generously wide definition of news.
 
oh yeah and don't forget, those Housewife shows get a lot of viewers. For me, it's a WIN. Would you even want to go to a psychic? Mind you psychic infighting is rampant. They all bad mouth each other, while claiming to be the "real deal".

Seconded. So I just went over there and invited her. I hope she'll join us. She sounds like she'd fit right in.

Oh, I'm so glad! You beat me to it. Doesn't she just seem like someone who would be lively and interesting, informative and entertaining, to discuss and debate with?
