[QUOTE=mizwood;301556]So you don't think that Rachel is the strongest girl on those days?[/QUOTE] That was the point of my post. I completely agree with Evelyn who never took Rachel seriously. [QUOTE=gamer73;301562]I couldn't see Melissa or Paula beating Rachel in any elimination round either. Melissa was one of the weaker girls on BOTS2 wasn't she?[/QUOTE] Again, I agree with Evelyn about Paula. When she isn't inside her own head, Paula can be a very worthy competitor. Melissa is my only 51% (and weakest) pick because I think she has always been feisty and I admire that quality. So, she's my one emotional pick. The others are pure logic based on knowledge beyond BMP

I miss her. I wish Abram/Rachel were a team on the original Exes, they would've killed it. Rachel should've been on Free Agents, she would've given Laurel a run for her money.

Agreed on both...Rachel/Abram as Exes and then Aneesa/Dunbar...Cara Maria and Paula could have sat that one out.

i actually disagree with Walnuts and Dummybear have more history to my undertsanding. Cara i agree she should have been left out just for the reason there would have been more drama between him and Rachel. but i also look at the legitmacy between Exes and Cara and Abram would be more legit.

yes i know that.

Ugh, Queen of the Challenge....sad this was the last time we've seen her so far <3

Hated that Exes was her last season. She didnt really have the best shot at winning. I would of loved to see her on Free Agents because I feel her and Laurel would be the top 2 girls. Id give the edge to Laurel but Rachel is great

I agree, she would have been amazing on free agents and would have gave Laurel some legit competition. I miss her Sad

Legend said she'll think about coming back when they get rid of the trash (Johnny).

yup, he's a main reason why she has a bad taste in her mouth. Though I will say he has lost so much power, I don't think he'd be a threat to her at all. But I think it was a principals things with how horrible him and some of the other men he used to hang with talked to women and other human beings.

Yeah she said that was the main reason as far as how the men treat the women.

which I can't blame her for that. Chauvinistic A holes like Johnny, Kenny, Evan, Zach, Paulie, etc are out on pedestals and it's disgusting. It's been going on forever, like Adam on the Gauntlet saying they need to get rid of all the girls - but starting with JEK it just got real bad fast. 

New Pod is up with her! https://youtu.be/dUhH_YIykts

someone summerize it for me later lol

Loved it.

I love Rachel, she is one of my favorite cast members.

Recap:

- She auditioned for Road Rules when she  was a freshman in college. She was 18 or 19 at the time, so they exclusively considered her for Road Rules. They were only allowing people who were 21 or older to be considered for The Real World.

- She was cast for Battle of the Sexes almost immediately after her Road Rules season ended. She loved Battle of the Sexes and feels like it paved the way for modern Challenges.

- The Gauntlet holds a special place in her heart because it was the first season she won. 

- She talked about how the old Challenges were far more lax in terms of production being more willing to allow the cast to eat at restaurants and travel around the areas they visited.

- She said that the Inferno II was a season where the women protected each other and it was an example of girl power.

- She says that she disliked Tonya because she came off as attention seeking but she wouldn't treat Tonya the same way looking back and she has a more positive perception of Tonya. 

- She noticed that the men in the earlier Challenges were more supportive of the women but the JEK era brought on a toxic culture.

- She felt that Johnny Bananas was very disrespectful towards the women during The Island and a lot of the things said were worse than what was shown. 

And to add, she said CT is way better challenger than Bananas; Bananas needs his friends to sacrifice themselves to get wins whereas CT does it all by himself.  

she also wishes exes wasnt the last time she was on, and it doesnt sit right with her. She felt it was unfair they were the only same sex pair, why didnt they have ryan and shane? They called her alot during dirty 30 trilogy but she couldnt do it because of her kids being so young. She says maybe when theyre older.  never say never to coming back. She was excited for the universal thing (she won) and it never aired due to the pandemic so now she thinks maybe its just her luck of how things are working out when it comes to the challenge.

Sounds like she prefers a regular season over all starsthough. Thinks the OG casts had much smarter players so it will be easier to play against the current cast. its interesting to know she keeps up with the show so much, I had no idea. 

- She was motivated to compete in The Duel 2 after losing The Island and said that winning individually was a crowning moment for her on The Challenge.

- She started thinking about running a fitness business after The Duel 2 finished filming. She said that quarantine helped her business immensely. 

- She didn't want Battle of the Exes to be her last Challenge because of the way it ended. She still loves and respects Aneesa, but she felt that Aneesa held the team back especially during their elimination and their last daily challenge.

-She believes that she and Aneesa would have been able to win the last daily challenge before they were eliminated if they communicated better. If they had won, Rachel would have thrown Johnny and Camila into elimination.

- Doing the shows was difficult for Rachel because she had to uproot her life each season. She's apprehensive about doing All Stars because she would miss her family too much.

- The last time she was called was during the Invasion era/Dirty Thirty trilogy.

- She feels that in a way, it's much easier to win a modern Challenge compared to the older ones. She says that she could see Yes winning a regular Challenge season.

-She and Mark won the Universal Studios Challenge special and it wasn't aired due to Covid. 

-Rachel didn't like Johnny because he contributed to the toxic environment of the JEK era. People wouldn't talk to her during Battle of the Exes because Johnny and his allies spread a rumor that she was insulting Robin's mental health. 

-Rachel thinks that Evan was the least toxic member of JEK.

-Rachel thinks CT is a better competitor than Johnny. 

-Rachel said that she is impressed by CT's success in the modern Challenges and says that he can be manipulative during the show and says what people want to here. She explained that CT was trying to get the girls to target her before he was kicked off of The Duel 2.

-She spoke negatively about Johnny taking the money from Sarah and believes that Sarah would have shared the money. She noticed how strong of a competitor Sarah was when they did Battle of the Exes together. 

- She likes Coral and Kendal. She said that Coral was an iconic cast member and at least one of the top 5 women in the history of the show and said she would love to do a show with her if she came back. She thinks Kendal is smart and competitive and believes that she can win  All Stars if she keeps coming back.

- She feels that she's in better shape than she's ever been for a modern Challenge. 

- She still talks to Darrell often.

Do we know anything about the special she talked about where she won? Why did it never air?

So does she want to do All Stars or not? Lol

It sounds like she wants to but just isn't willing to leave her family for that long. The length of filming continuing to extend probably doesn't help.

It was because after COVID they couldn't show people running around the park without masks. Even though it was filmed before the pandemic.

What a joke that she thinks her time in the inferno ii was the birth of challenge feminism. They tormented Tonya.

It wasn't about masks. It would have aired during a time when the parks weren't open or barely open.
