Rachael defines annoying (amazing race)

[dsc]

Why they keep having her and Brendon on show after show mystifies me. Maybe they can get run over by a ford focus trying to park.

1. She was totally pathetic!

Way too much whining.

I hate retreads from other shows!

[Suich]

2. When Rachael talks, I "mute!" n/t

[dr.strangelove]

3. Um, she was 100% right IMO

Does she tend to go on and on, sure, but Brandon had no right to talk to her the way he did and I would not have stood for it either. I understand she is annoying, but wrong is wrong.

4. She goes into the Whiners Hall of Fame...

He's no prize but sheesh! I could not stand to listen to her.

10. "The Amazing Race is supposed to be fun & this is too haaarrrrd."

*sniff*

I've seen her on two seasons of Big Brother (gag), & whenever something doesn't go her way she resorts to whining. And Brendon is making the mistake of a lifetime by, first, staying with her &, secondly, giving in to her whining. He seemed really ticked off by her last night & may be getting tired of her childish whining, but he ended up catering to her.

I hope the production crew comes up with a competition that frustrates them enough to lose.

5. Her cry is so fake

it's pathetic.

6. it seems like they are trying for their own reality show or something

[ohheckyeah]

7. She was also on a

show called something like Beverly Hills Brides where she tried on dress after dress and didn't buy a thing. It was really pretty sad.

Rachel is intelligent but acts like a spoiled brat.

8. i saw that episode

she is actually one of the few who could probably make a decent living doing something else but i guess too much of a fame whore.

she can at least try to be entertaining but it's just annoying and makes people hate her. and it's dragging the show down because it's so much focus on them. usually by this time you start to get a good idea of some teams and who you like/dislike. but at best there are a few teams i don't dislike.

9. I like the country boys

and after what the boarder patrol people did last night, I like them too. I liked the twins but they are gone.

11. Its not fame whore, its math

She is incredibly intelligent, knows exactly what sells, and is making an insane amount of money to do TV shows where she knows she has a short shelf-life. Why would anyone not want to make a few million over a 5 year period, then move on with your life. They two of them are doing what any sane person would do.

[JI7]

12. i wouldn't want to do it

i would never want to go on big brother. just because i don't want that type of fame.

[dr.strangelove]

13. If someone told me that they would pay me

$3M over the next 3 years but I would have to look like an idiot on TV on several reality shows, I would do it in a heartbeat. I could get my mother and my family out of debt, take of my children's colleges, set up my retirement and still be young enough to work for my life. To me, its a no brainer. But if yo are the type that does perform well with fame, I do not begrudge it. Its your choice.

[JI7]

14. the thing is that it lasts beyond the 3 years, but if you are willing to do it, have you tried out

for big brother or other reality shows ? i seriously would rather become some anonymous stripper than go on some of these type of shows . n

15. I submitted for survivor once

but never any other show. Realistically, I do not have the personality for tv, but nonetheless, I would be crazy not to accept the money that she is making. She reportedly gets $10,000 just for showing up at a nightclub. I mean its hard to say no to that kind of thing. If she can make a go of it until the spotlight shines elsewhere, I say more power to her. She is incredibly bright. she knows the shelflife is not forever. She is smart for milking it for anything that she can. And its not these reality shows that she makes the money on, its the after show work she does. Because she was on this silly show, she gets photographed wearing clothes, driving a car, at a club, at dinner, and she gets paid to promote things. Once the fame dies, so does the ability to earn off of it. She they do a couple of reality shows, have their wedding planning on TLC or A&E or whatever, then they have the wedding be a big production and eventually, when the spotlight ends like ti has for all the other reality stars, they have to make it in the real world. So why not maximize the returns while you can.

17. She has a degree in chemistry

and worked in a lab before moving to Vegas, where she worked as a cocktail waitress. (In an interview she said she made nearly double as a cocktail waitress.) He's working on a PhD in physics or medicine-I can't remember which.

Also, I've read where interviewers say she's nothing like she was on BB. IRL, she's very intelligent, knows exactly what sells, and will do what it takes to sell her product, which is herself. In interviews she has stated that once this ride is over she plans on marrying, having children and staying home with them while they're young. Supposedly this is a good way to make money and put it aside for the future.

People hate them but I think they're very savvy and they know exactly what they are doing. She realized how much people hated her on her first season of BB and took advantage of it. She's so over the top and makes me laugh. I hope they win the whole damn thing.

BTW-interviewers have stated that the two worst from her first season of BB were actually liked by fans. Brittney and Enzo are both supposedly pompous, spoiled, hateful people according to fans who've met them and from interviews.

16. But we're talking about her and the show

I guess all publicity is good, no?

[nclib]

18. She is beyond annoying.

I've had to fast forward over some of her prolonged whining. I really wish Amazing Race would stop using contestants from other shows.
