Kay, I agree with your post at 8:43am. There was less "shunning" this season. Rachel was a part of something, just like she always wanted to be. I remember how mystified she was that nobody would want to work with her and Brendon, proved winners (never picking up in the fact that they already had an alliance). And, wanting so much to have a friend in either Kristen or Brittney ( she now says Kristen is a great girl, not so much Brittney).
I think Rachel has a great shot at winning, even with Jordan at F2. Her adaptability this year has been outstanding. She can thank, Brendon's leaving, JOrdan's freindship and honesty and her winning. Her winning to get her to the end gives her the edge.

I suspect that a lot of the "me and my mayun" stuff is an act. She always has a certain look on her face when she says it. A propos of nothing, though, I wish she'd learn how to use the word, "me." Every time she says she is "playing for Brendon and I," my ears reverberate.

I wonder how much bonding Jeff and Brendon are doing in the Jury House. If they come out best buds, then the 4 will probably be post-show chums. On the other hand, I'm guessing the two couples will just be friendly acquaintances. It will be interesting to actually see later on how it turns out.

I've made a turn around and I'm really starting to like Rachel. For me, it's not because she's "carrying Jordan." I don't want to see Jordan in the final 2, but I'd love to see Rachel there. She's grown on me a lot.

Jeff can't stand Rachel, esp when she's with Brendon, those 2 couples will NEVER hang out unless it's for a BB event! Rachel is tolerable away from Brendon, she hasn't "changed"---- if he came back into the house, she'd be back to her antics. I think she exaggerates the difficulty of finding a job. First, Brendon won't let her do what she knows/loves. She is used to having fun, making LOTS of cash at her job, all the
while being adored by (mostly) men.
As far as being nice to fans---- that is her realm, being with her 'fiancé!' being the center of someone's attention, being recognized & told how adored she is??? Of COURSE she'd be happily receptive! In real life, I couldn't handle being around her. That laugh, those clothes, the makeup (which Jordan KEEPS telling her looks better when applied sparingly!). She is dedicated to Buki, she's a great dog owner, but the emotional drama which seems to come so natural to her would be exhausting. I would talk to her at a party, be on a team with her, or have her as a fun Aunt, but she would not fit into my social or work environment whatsoever.

Unfortunately, people without feeds, never see the real Brenchel under the covers, whether it be in the HOH or in a room with other people that can hear and perceive what is happening.

What have those people who follow the live feed posts and watch the show and BBAD not seeing about Brenchel? There are a lot of people who have the feeds, but they don' actually watch 24/7 literally.

I think she has been in a defensive mode since last summer. I also think without Brendon to keep rehashing all the negative things that she has read and heard, she has finally started to relax. Never thought I would say it, but I like this Rachel.

I find it interesting that she says she wants to play the game with competitors then nominates the two best competitors besides herself. What she really means if you are a competitor on her side you should stay and play the game. If you are a competitor and want Rachel out of the game, then you need to go.

In a discussion with my mother the other night she said she is surprised to feel that Rachel is more likeable this year, especially after Brendan left the house. She only watches the CBS show, no Showtime or internet. She is 94 years old, still enjoys Big Brother, and has followed every season!

I think I was one of the few viewers who liked Rachel and Brendon last time. The way Rachel was portrayed last night showed her fun loving side. Other people seem to be seeing that side of her now.

Ritfie:
Brenchel was almost impossible to watch for MOST people. Rachel on her own is quite tolerable... When they were in the house together (can't speak for real life) she was very emotional, needy, childish, submissive, & conjoined w/Brendon. Without him she is social & self sufficient.
However...
I think it's going to hurt her when she gets out, to read/hear how everyone prefers her/her behavior without Buki... She thinks he's perfect & makes her a better person. It will crush her that almost ALL the fans like her on her own. It might be worse for her than last year when she was sad about how people perceived her... If only she would find someone who loves her without wanting to change her...
