As Told by Troy

so we all lived through my Hira Shrine and Jem Justifation, and I always knew my next series to rewatch would be BB9 and that my next thread just HAD to be a Rachel Rationale. I wasn't sure when this would take place, but after BB18 and all the mystery revolving around Rachel (Raph we're still waiting to hear your side of things hun...x) I knew that this was the time. I think the forum opinion of her has improved since I've joined, but there are still a lot of naysayers throwing around stupid cliches like BORING and FENCE-SITTER and NOTHING LIKE HER ONE MINUTE LONG VT HOW DARE SHE and basically whatever the **** else bellends like Rex and Luke said. However, personallyme I think Rachel might have the most complete and well-rounded winner's journey of them all? And I shall use this thread to highlight it. Be warned though, bc 93 day series terrify me so this project will probably take many many months. I'll be very proud of myself if I finish before 2018.
I watched launch night last night and don't really have anything to say regarding Rachel. I'm sure I'll make up for it later with all the stupid focus on her VT :3

From memory rachel was pretty boring But I think this was more a case of...the others were more entertaining and interesting, than it being her being boring. If that makes sense. A housemate like Rachel these days would be amazing tbh, with all the plastic fakes we have.

^ congrats!
Didn't mind Rachel, she was a nice girl but just not a lot happened with her. I hated B-block (except Rex) so I suppose I lumped her in with that. Sara though, I loved.

My fave thing about Rachel's VT was when BB said "SHH!" and after a few seconds of silence she giggled "it"

Rachel was, is and will always be the best housemate and winner of BB. Period.

Day 2:
-another low-key episode for Rachel bc the opening has been so dominated by The Wedding but she continues to be the defender of TRUE LOVE bc everyone's starting to get skeptical and she's telling everyone that they need to be on their best behavior on Sunday bc she's hoping it's still real what a kind soul

Ooooohhh.............me too!!!!
Sara was bloody GORGEOUS!!!!!! I wasn't a fan of Rachel. Didn't really hate her but just found her boring. Me and my then girlfriend bumped into her in Cardiff a few months after the end of the series and (more my gf than me) had a brief chat with her. She was pleasant enough and, being me, i wasn't gonna' tell her i thought she was boring. |

I know it's ~off topic~ but my favourite Sylvia moment was when Alex and Mo were arguing in the bedroom and Sylvia just pops her head in mid-argument and yells "OH JUST GET IT ON ALREADY. GET. IT. ON."

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.
