[quote=RMD1;81273]My cousin and her are great friends. She also lives in Philly, like me!![/quote] Ok, thank you!
[QUOTE]I am inclined though to agree that Rachel may have manipulated her into picking Tori because Rachel had her own internal fears. Truth is, imo, I think Rachel has a friendship with Aneesa, but Rachel also saw a benefit in aligning herself with her.[/QUOTE] I completely agree. I think Rachel was very strategic the whole time, and while she might be friends with Aneesa outside the game, she definitely used the friendship to her advantage in the game, and I think that was her intention from the beginning.

Rachel was wishing for a back off or push over card. She knew Aneesa would have a better shot of taking Tori out than She would. IMO

Please Rachel would have killed any of those girls on any Duel. Anessa might have a shot with back off and push over. I think Rachel and Ev are in the same league. Jodi won more challenges, because 1- there where barely any partner challenges, and 2-Compare to the other girls, Jodi looks like a beast. By the way on that upside down challenge, Rachel beat all the guys with the exception of Landon and Mark.

Rachel vs Evelyn will be like a Derrick vs Wes. Fantastic episode overall, though the "To Be Continued" really messed it up. I can't wait until the finale!
[QUOTE]Please Rachel would have killed any of those girls on any Duel. Anessa might have a shot with back off and push over.

I'm not putting anyone in the same league as Ev until I've seen them compete against Ev and hold their own. We can only speculate on how Rachel would do in the duel, because she hasn't been in. I'm sure that, on paper, people would have picked Jenn over Diem, but that's not how it turned out.

Yeah but to be fair, has Evelynn ever been in an elimination round against someone besides Casey? You can't compare them to each other. I have seen good things from both of them so this who vs. who isn't really fair. How can you put someone in the same league as Ev when we have never seen her truly compete against someone besides Casey? The Island doesn't count either..anyone could have beat Tyrie and I'm convinced anyone could have beaten Dan. Wasn't Dan the first one out in their faceoff against KA and Johanna? Johnny and Kenny even said, their biggest threat was Rachel. I'm not going to put her above Rachel yet or say one is better than the other because I haven't seen anything amazing from Ev besides her standing up to Johnny Bananas. Their are things I dislike about the both of them but I can't really say who is better. I have been a Rachel fan for years though, her road rules season was the first one I saw.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop laughing anytime soon. Talk to almost anyone who has been on a challenge and they will tell you that Evelyn is the beast.

[QUOTE=tjhallow;81533]Well she is beast but I'm not saying to say she is better than Rachel.[/QUOTE] I am, and I'll stake my reputation on it. (With respect to everyone's opinions, my views are not based on a TV show, on on real life. I'm not engaging in a dialogue on this with anyone, so don't bother to try.)

[quote=V1man;81535]I am, and I'll stake my reputation on it.[/quote] I respect your opinion, but we will just have to agree to disagree. :)
Woah, my opinion: Rachel would beat anyone on this Challenge at this point. I do not think Aneesa is doing her dirty work. Rachel certainly wants it, but if you think about it, Aneesa would have ended up against Tori anyways. As for her and Ev, I would put them in the same league, and they are equal. Just because we haven't seen Rachel in an elimination round, and Ev has only gone twice, once lost, and once against Casey.

I agree V1 that Ev is a beast. One thing I respect from her is, her commitment to the challenges. Aside from that wouldn't it be unfair to say Ev is better, without them competing agaisnt each other. Paula did beat Ev in some of the Gauntlet 3 missions, and Johanna was giving Ev a run for her money on the Island, on the last key challenge, and losing the life saver to Janelle and Tonya on Inferno 3. I don't think it's possible to compare the two, unless we have both of them compete in pole wrestle or an exile type of elimination. Now I won't deny this, the battle between both of them will be EPIC, probably better than Wes and Derricks Duel. Guys don't forget about the Hollys, the original Ev/Rachel LOL.
