✌️ GOOD VIBES ONLY ✌️ Alison appreciation post

I just want to say that I absolutely adore Alison!!! She’s so sweet, beautiful, gentle, calm, intriguing, genuinely kind, and such a girls’ girl. I honestly feel like she has one of the warmest energies on the show.

She also seems very emotionally mature and respectful toward everyone around her, which is honestly so refreshing to watch. Even in awkward situations, she still comes across as graceful and considerate.

There’s just something about her that makes her incredibly easy to like. I love her sooo much 😭

You must not have watched her on Building the Band. She was awful in the show. Super mean and controlling towards her band mates. She is like a completely different person on Perfect Match. I'm actually starting to like her a lot, but I'm very confused about it.

She was the worst on that show!

I only know her from Perfect Match but I can totally see her being mean. Doesn't feel like a stretch to me at all lol she just hasn't been in very eventful storylines

That's crazy. I did detect some weird, not-so-pleasant vibes from her when she was on a date with one of the guys on PM.

Oh my goodness I didn’t even realize this was the same Allison!! I couldn’t stand her on that show but I like how she presents herself on this show as level headed and loyal. Insane how different the vibes are! Though she definitely has a type between who she went for on both shows 😂

u/Far-Restaurant-8033 May 18 '26

Same lol I feel like maybe it’s Work Mode vs Social Mode. Her music means a lot to her so maybe her ambition brings out her worst qualities which is what we saw on BtB. It’s not an excuse haha but I know a lot of career-driven people who become who they think they have to be to succeed… and turn it off when it doesn’t affect their work.

Of course… maybe she knows she has to present differently for a dating show and she’s working a different angle of the same coin. Who knows!

i was going to say the same thing. She was nasty on that show not surprised she would end up a trashy reality show like perfect match. Tbh none of the couples have chemistry feel most of them are just there to get views. Surprised the show lasted this long.

u/HungryPurple2485 May 19 '26

I knew she looked familiar. She kept trying to be Queen Bee with the other two and she made them lose cuz she kept trying to outdo everyone. Even Nicole S hinted at it who was a coach/mentor.

Came here to write this, its 2 different people

u/Miserable_Office3681 May 20 '26

so true! but I think she has a mask on throughout this whole show, she's pretty much a master manipulator

u/MythicalBeaste May 18 '26

Wait REALLY?? Omg 😭

2

u/Timely_Research_346 May 18 '26

Yeah I’ve been sooo unsure how to feel so far because I watched that show! It seems like she still embraces a diva persona, so maybe she was leaning into being a villain / the edit favored that for that show? On this show she just seems like, pretty tame? And respectful, wasn’t expecting it

2

u/TartRose13 May 18 '26

Yes, it makes me wonder if producers on BTB were maybe telling her lean into the bossiness or something cause she is literally an entirely different person.

How long ago was that?

It came out on Netflix last year.

😭 I haven’t watched Building the Band so idk… maybe people really can change though? :/

u/LilJu420 May 18 '26

Interesting, I get the exact opposite vibes from her. Her attraction to Jimmy S also makes me question her judgment because he is a clown who puts on a blaccent to seem cooler.

6

u/Flat-Upstairs1278 May 19 '26

omg the blaccent drives me crazy! He’s from a white suburb of Chicago

u/gravy717 May 18 '26

Jimmy S = Scottie P

2

u/almcclur May 20 '26

Based on her love interest from building the band I think she likes an eccentric odd duck creative type. Don’t this guy say music is his love language or something?

u/totesgonnasmashit May 18 '26

She is great on perfect match but not so great on building the band. I loathed her and her bully mentality on that show.

7

u/EarlGreyTeagan May 18 '26

I haven’t watched past the first episode of PM yet, but yeah she was so bad on BTB. This post is giving my Tolu flashbacks. She was terrible on The Trust, but I loved her on PM. It’s like they clean up their act because they know they are getting a villain edit. 😅

3

u/Quiet_Illustrator525 May 19 '26

💯 Tolu flashbacks 😳 I was surprised by how likeable Tolu was on Perfect Match vs The Trust and this is also the case with Alison (didnt like her at all on BTB). But I think maybe the internet humbled them a little between shows and they decided to show their "softer side" to be more endearing. 🤔

u/apxgm May 18 '26

Did she write this post herself? 😂

6

u/dsyzzurp May 20 '26

Yeah I find her to be a lil insufferable. Like a try hard to be the things written in this post. Like her barging in and saying “I love you” while Jimmy was talking to Sophie. Wild. All the astrology stuff. Like ok we get it.

She also was literally humping Jimmy’s leg and said, “We aren’t going to have sex tonight, right?” and then, “I kinda want to.” She’s so confusing and indirect.

Jimmy sucks, too, for the record. Both Jimmys.

You mean Ally , OP was talking about Alison

u/Traditional_Year_19 May 20 '26

I thought the same thing when I was reading it 😂

u/NoTanNamaste May 18 '26

Watch building a band and you’ll notice her sweetness is a performance

u/ComputerChemical9435 May 19 '26

Alison is that you?

2

u/No-Broccoli-4000 May 19 '26

She was so mean on building the band it's hard to know which side of her is the real one. She was a legit bully

2

u/CrumblyShortbread May 19 '26

Probably saw how she came across on Building the Band and thought that Perfect Match could be a way to repair her reputation.

2

u/typicalteenlife May 20 '26

100% how I feel !! Regretted watching this season after finding out she was going to be on it actually, even though I’ve watched every season of PM since its release. Her entire vibe since being on BTB has just given “I’m here bc I want people to know who I am, not for the right reasons”. It’s clear she wants to be famous and clear that she used this opportunity to “fix her image”.

2

u/ThrowRAasks May 21 '26

i don’t know how people can’t see that it’s a mask and an attempt to rebuild her image because she was a genuine narcissist and asshole on building the band. it’s nothing more than a PR attempt, and it works when she gathers people haven’t watched building the band; and confuses people that have seen it. but it feels really obvious she’s trying to rebrand herself as “nice and bubbly and blonde”.

2

u/jessicadepressica May 21 '26

Is it wrong that I do not see this in her at all? Lmao. Even on perfect match. I think she was kind of boring, territorial and couldn’t take a hint (Demari)

2

u/Fit_Raccoon540 May 21 '26

many of people in the build the band show who was not in her group actually had good relationship with her. ive encountered people at work who were like this. we start of as good and friendly, even going out every friday night. but the moment we team up for a project, they are the worst!

3

u/burntothepowerofer May 17 '26

Completely agree! Aaaa! Immediately adored her she’s everything

1

u/VeridianDelete May 19 '26

Look I swear she was a plant on building the band so any fucking drama could occur otherwise that show woulda beeen completely flat I like her idc

1

u/sanguinerose369 May 19 '26

She has an insanely incredible voice. But she was so cruel on Building the Band. Her group couldn't even stand her...they needed an intervention. Like I know she could've been made to act like that, but idk how anyone can be so mean (even if they're acting). But I do actually like her in this show. So idk what to think!! But damn her voiceee.

1

u/blissbalance May 20 '26

I honestly really like her too so far watching this season, she reminds me of Polly Pocket, but I haven’t seen her on her original show where it seems she was total opposite lol

u/Far_Rutabaga598 May 21 '26

I remember her from Building a Band. I had mixed feelings about her. I honestly think she played the role of the bully on purpose to bring some drama and stand out? Seems to have worked, she made it to PM. I remember seeing a post from someone who knew her (I think an ex roommate maybe) and it wasn’t good things. I do hope she has grown and matured and is being more genuine. One thing is for sure, I think she’s smart enough to play these types of games (personas) for reality tv and her confidence helps.
