Actually, she handled herself pretty well the last time. She had her moments, but overall she did OK. I expect a retread of the same this time.

i think she'll do better this time. she seems a bit calmer and she has had a week's practice and now some coaching from Brendon. What will be interesting to see how she reacts if she's nominated.

She is not going to have a meltdown. She knows she has burned those bridges. The only one she truly has any alliance with right now is Dani. However if she wins HOH, then they will all claim to have an allience with her and she will be okay because she has some power and the HOH room.

Speaking of the "my fiancee" thing, does she actually have a ring? I haven't seen one if she does. (His name is Brendon, Rachel, not "my fiancee.") Topic? Brendon has been so prickly since he returned I'm guessing Rachel may be relieved when he leaves tomorrow night. Brendon can be right about some of the things he yells at her about, but he doesn't have to yell to make his point and overall he is just an insufferable control freak. She'll be better off without him freaking out about everything she does ruining "his" game.

They use Fiancee more as a reason for pressuring each other into what they want each other to do than some romantic beginning to their lives. "Brendon, you are my fiancee and you need to support me in this game." "Rachel, you are my finacee and I want to spend the rest of my life with you....BUT you have to stop doing that or......! Or what??

She told Shelly that it is not a real diamond and I think she did mention that they bought it in a Swarovski store CALLSIN!!

If that is the same ring in that pic- it only cost $125 - huh and that ring she has on looks like it is an adjustable ring you find in a cracker jacks box -

Because she says "fiance" so often, like it's new, I think they got engaged for the show pretty much. It would make them more interesting. And they talk about not having money, so they had to get something less expensive but of course flashy. Honestly, I don't care what a ring is made of. With how disposable marriages are, a twisty-tie is probably just as meaningful.

What the ring is made of or its monetary value shouldn't matter in a relationship.

Exactly Jimmer! It's good to know that I'm not the only one that feels that way. When Hubby and I got "engaged" a gazillion years ago, we didn't have alot of money...I had a heart shaped ring made up of diamond chips...I think it cost around $100...but that was alot of money at the time..and for us...but it didn't matter...

There is so much to rant about over B&R this ring thing is not something that I find objectable. Finally! Something I'm ok about with those two, the ring! I can't tell you how many of my friends marriages didn't work out and they had rings in the tens of thousands. LOL

BTW I did not mean to imply anything ugly about the price or it not being a diamond. I thought the ring was pretty when you can see it in focus. I want the Hello Kitty ring from Swarovski. Unfortunately I can't wear my wedding ring any more due to allergies.

I would have been surprised if it was a real diamond ring. They've been living off her savings, which are almost gone.

Brendon sued his Ex girlfriend for an engagement ring. Pretty sure he won't buy one for Rachel until after the wedding. However he has no problem living off her savings and driving her car. He also expects her to get a job and support him while he is in school. It also must be a job that he pre-approves. Sorry for the rant. I just have a very low opinion of Brendon and have had one ever since last season. I was also sad to see that he has killed Vegas Rachel and replaced her with door mat Rachel.

I feel the same way, Caprica. Brendon is probably upset because he didn't wait to get the precious imitation Diana engagement ring. It's only $19.95 and comes with a certificate of authenticity, proving that it is a genuine fake.
