Day 5:
-okay so I think Rachel's role in #Chipgate has already been pretty well-documented because that's usually one of the main examples fans use to reject the notion of her sitting on the fence, and duh because she was great in it. She wasn't afraid to speak up, she presented her thoughts calmly and rationally, and she encouraged Bex not to just leave and go for a fag right away but wait it for the right moment. It's refreshing to see someone with actual social intelligence on BBUK because that doesn't happen very often, and her DR afterwards where she was crying at the absurdity of the situation and Alex being an aggressive bully was sweet. Part of me was wondering how this would be perceived in 2017, with Rachel declaring the black girl an aggressive bully, but like... it's Alexandra De-Gale. She is aggressive and she does exhibit so many bullyish qualities.
