Allison
Allison Nichols (born July 24, 1979) was a pharmaceutical sales representative from Boston, Massachusetts. She also has a bachelor of arts/psychology degree from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. In the Spring of 2002 she spent a semester at sea. Allison is a reformed gambling addict, which she chose to keep hidden from her fellow HouseGuests. Her soulmate in the game was Ryan. Allison was disliked by numerous HouseGuests, and was often the center of drama in the house. She had numerous arguments with Jen, who was in a romantic relationship with Alison's partner Ryan outside of the house. During the first week, Allison and Sheila became good friends. Believing Allison was leaving that week, the two concocted a story that they were lesbian lovers who knew each other outside of the house. They told this story to Joshuah and Chelsia, who both told their partners. Despite their instant friendship, Allison and Sheila later had a falling out, leading to a verbal argument that their partners later became a part of. Allison also had numerous arguments with Joshuah in the house, partly due to the lesbian lie she told. On Day 16, Allison suffered from an allergic reaction and left the House for medical attention; she returned to the House a few hours later. Allison claimed that her throat was closing and she could not breathe. Her allergic reaction happened right before Amanda passed out from hypoglycemia. Allison & Ryan were nominated during the first week against Jen & Parker, due to Jen and Ryan's romantic relationship. Ultimately, Jen & Parker were evicted. During the second week, Allison & Ryan initially agreed to evict Matt & Natalie from the game, but made the last minute decision to change their vote. Their decision upset Joshuah & Sharon, who went on to win the following Head of Household competition. Following numerous arguments and personal attacks at one another, Joshuah nominated Allison and her partner Ryan against Matt & Natalie. On Day 28, the HouseGuests chose to evict Allison & Ryan, only to learn that the couples would be splitting up and that only Allison or Ryan would leave, not both. Allison was then evicted in a unanimous six to zero vote. She was the first single HouseGuest to be evicted, and was the seventh total HouseGuest to be evicted, coming in 10th place.

“Hunger makes you restless. You dream about food—not just any food, but perfect food, the best food, magical meals, famous and awe-inspiring, the one piece of meat, the exact taste of buttery corn, tomatoes so ripe they split and sweeten the air, beans so crisp they snap between the teeth, gravy like mother’s milk singing to your bloodstream.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1953)
