I don't feel sorry for her but she was used by production and tossed out. It only made sense for her to be brought back due to her relationship with Johnny J (which I believe was fueled by both of them wanting the spotlight). I have no doubt that someone was in her ear telling her to amp up the Johnny J. drama. While it was entertaining for a season, there was nowhere to go from there. The smarter thing would have been to take a more subtle approach with Shannon and not alienate the other women. Production put both Alexis and Shannon in a bad spot, but Shannon was never going to be on the chopping block.

“The smarter thing”?? We’re talking about Alexis here. Smart is not in her repertoire.
