I was disappointed in Rachel's goodbye message to Dani. Sure she had the right to gloat a bit and rub it in but, IMO her message was childish and mean. She has stated that she has trouble getting jobs because many know her from BB. Does she not know how she comes off? If I closed my eyes she sounded like an MTV teenage mean girl. She obviously isn't forward thinking enough to know that in her name calling, she can pretty much write Dani off for a jury vote. She just seems to lack the ability to control herself.

Agree about her lack of self-control, Oliviamimi. She said in that message that she doesn't even care about Dani's "stupid vote". She'll care plenty if she ends up sitting in final 2. I feel Rachel is her own worst enemy and until she get the help she obviously needs, she won't change. She comes across as a bit bi-polar to me; also, she has some very serious self-image issues. I'm not surprised she's having no luck in the job search.

So much for Rachel changing how she is perceived on TV and the internet. Here was her chance.

I have actually seen a side of Rachel that I like. She has been so much better without Brendon. The problem is she just seems to blurt out whatever she thinks without any filters. Children do this but adults learn to control it. It is not what you say but how you say it. She could have delivered the same message but in a more dignified adult manner. I get her anger at Dani and I don't think Dani is an angel but at some point she needs to let go of the childish, nananabooboo Jr. High school attitude.

I don't believe that the outside world is too concerned about Rachel's behaviour in the house, I bet she will meet some employers who'll tell her, "way to go Rachel, you're sure a lot of fun in that BB house". So, for as many 'snotty' employers out there, there are just as many would love to have her, it just depends in what field she wants to work. She's not after White House's job, for heavens'sake!!!

there are tons of employers who never even heard of this little show. There is only one person at my office that even knows who she is or could recognize her

Spunky, I doubt many would-be employers would have seen her on BB. It's probably her laugh during an interview that puts them off. It would me.

Oh her laugh??? Oh well, it is a bit annoying but I can't believe it could be a reason for not hiring her in some capacity or another. I never had any problems in my career and yet I've been told I'm too loud...

Well, I think she will be the second player that is disliked. I believe Shelley will be first.

I didn't think Rachel was being portrayed as negatively on TV as she was on the feeds. Until last night, that is. Her goodbye message to Dani was so bitter and catty. She's going to feel like such an idiot when she realizes that Jeff really DID throw the veto to Adam, and that Jordan knew about it. As for public perception, if there was any doubt that she hasn't changed, she removed all of it last night!

She's a waitress and there are plenty of places that like to hire snarky waitresses. I would not hire her to work for my business.

Rachel did say that during interviews employers were saying, oh your that Rachel, from BB. So maybe it does make a difference to those that watch BB. I assume that everyone watches BB! btw, my children who are grown think me and my husband are nuts for loving this show.

Are there any jobs out there for a scientist/waitress? That is a fairly unique skill set, is it not?

I didn't like her goodbye message either, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the DR egged her on to it. It was quite bitter for really not much reason

Rachel also belly-ached that people chided her because her butt cheeks were hanging out of her shorts last season ... but that didn't stop her from wearing her short-short denim cutoffs again this season. Doesn't she want to be Respectable Rachel? lol

Recruiters and those doing hiring often use the internet to look up people, see what they are like online. So, someone hiring Rachel in the business world wouldn't need to know about BB, but a simple google would pull up all they need to know. Also her resume would have gaping holes that would need to be explained. I'm sure the DR egged her on in her goodbye message, but it was still petty, nasty and unnecessary.

Brenda is right. Employers Google you. They check to see if you have Facebook and if so what you have on it. Same with Twitter, Foursquare, My Space...every social media outlet. Rachel claimed that she had a hard time with potential employers and I believe it. This season won't help her either.

Facebook is killing people who are job searching. People will post anything. We recently had a teacher here fired for posting pictures of herself in semi nude poses. < headshake >

I have no doubt that the diary room knows what questions to ask and what buttons to push to get them to say what they want. I am sure you guys have noticed that the messages are always cut and edited. CBS wants a fight between Rachel and Dani so they make sure that is what is shown. Haters gonna hate........

I certainly don't hate Rachel. Never have said that. I am sure the diary room eggs her on to get the most dramatic clips to air.
