Does anyone else find this a scream? Rachel in particular keeps setting up Ann with her messy opinions. No one else gets asked on their view

[QueenCharley]

There's something really irritating about Rachel asking Ann for her opinion all the time.

[luvjustin]

I'm sorry but this is why I love Rachael

[Time]

i love them both

[pontyboi]

Rachel is stirring **** up but also trying to get on side of what she thinks the public will like by hugging India at the end of tonight's episode it was very fake.

She's playing a pretty crap game imo.

You can tell she's come from a political background.

Ann would be Ann wether Rachel was there or not I love her the grumpy twat lol.

[jaxie]

Rachel thinks the public won't like Ann and is trying to provoke her to say something damning. The thing is that Ann is good at explaining herself. Like what she said about the NHS and priorities over India's surgery. It was a perfectly fair view. I don't think many people would argue that those in pain or sick should be the priority.

[poppsywoppsy]

Rachel lacks her fathers charm. I liked her columns but am finding her far less likeable now.

She comes across as scheming and not very bright. I am disappointed in her, she is lacking in judging situations and is obvious in her trying to provoke Anne.

Even Courtney picked up on this . She could see Rachel was playing some mind game setting Ann up .

[Amy Jade]

I love how she does it, she's a journalist so it's her job really. I bet she does it with the others too but Ann is the one being shown because she doesn't hold back

[caprimint]

Yeah, Rachel is such an amazing troll and I also like how Ann doesn't get mad about it, she just answers with her genuine opinion

[Cal.]

Rachel smirking and asking Ann for her opinion on sex changes being available on the NHS right as India was talking about having hers done on the NHS was a scream

[Shaun]

It's a good way of lightening whatever tension may arise between Ann and the rest of the group, really - I see it as a sort of friendly-banter thing that makes Ann seem softer / less offensive.

I don't think she does it to get a reaction or to try and get Ann ejected.

[AnnieK]

I've said this before but I think on some levels that Rachel holds the same or similar views to Ann on a lot of things and she knows that Ann will air them unapologetically. She is not comfortable airing her views so lets ann do it. Sneaky but in keeping with her journalistic nature

[Underscore]

Rachel and Ann are iconic.

Case closed.

I agree,its like she's setting traps for her all the time

[Kazanne]

Rachel is a sly one,she asks Ann in the hope Ann will say something that will get her hated by the public or ejected by BB,she knows Anns opinions are sometimes near the knuckle and I am sure this is why she keeps asking Ann,she knows Ann wouldn't lie to curry favour so her word would be how she feels.

Agreed and several times now someone has shouted "Ann won't like that" when they don't know whether she would or not they just have preconceived ideas and have stereotyped her because she isn't in a relationship, if it was happening to anyone else there would be uproar

[bitontheslide]

in a way, its good for Ann, it makes everyone stop and listen to her, and as she is always coherent in her responses, people find it very difficult to take issue with her. It may not be what Rachel intended, but I think she has brought Ann in center stage

That's true, I don't think it's Rachel's intent though

[poppsywoppsy]

I think Anne is playing this right. Yes, she can be crotchety at time but she also knows when to be quiet and give India enough rope.

It is not always what you say but when you say it which has the desired effect.

[*mazedsalv**]

She's so journalistic

[Vanessa]

I can't stand Rachel. I find her quite patronising . But Ann I absolutely adore. She's like a female version of Victor Meldrew

[montblanc]

that is a scream

[rusticgal]

Rachel's giving Ann airtime...don't know what you are all moaning nag about. Equally her pandering to India is to avoid India isolating herself and playing the 'victim' role.

[JerseyWins]

I love Ann in instances like this.

Or like in this moment:
