My question is why though?  And I don't think it's simply out of the goodness of their hearts or she's too happy to hide it or that they're changing everything up, just for her.  I think there's more to it than that, just not sure exactly what yet.

Obvi they recognize that she's the best they ever had. Jk. I think probably ratings. Rachel herself said part of it was so people could get invested. Not gonna lie I've become way more interested after hearing bits and pieces of the happy ending. I know not all of us feel that way, but selfishly I want more!

Rachel has the perfect attitude when it comes to randoms on social media. **IMO**Whether it's people who worship the ground you walk on or people who call you the worst names imaginable...they're strangers and their opinions shouldn't affect her. That type of love or hate just makes these contestants go crazy and I love that Rachel doesn't let herself fall for that. One of the many reasons I love this girl. IMO.

Ashley I talks about how Jimmy Kimmel is becoming the next Reality Steve and guesses correctly.  Like does she not realize that JK gets it from him?

@GuardianAngel Look how SM is doing to other contestant lives. Did some who went on Ben season end up in therapy? I dont blame her for not reading it, but she could have said it differently but she is been honest in her assessment of the things. Last season may have thought her how people feel about her when reading the SM. IMHO

@cookielover12 This woman is a moron. (IMO--but in all honestly I think I am talking her up in this instance). Not for a moment do I think JK reads this forum, but can you only for a millisecond image him reading himself being compared to Rusty Snail?

We say here all the time that it behooves these people to ignore SM and people on the internet for their own sanity and when one actually adheres to our advice, she is full of herself I think ignoring SM people's opinion of her is one of the smartest things to do. This girl keeps getting more impressive with each new interview I listen to, JMO.

As a fan, idc if she ignores my positive opinion of her if it also means she ignores those with negative opinions.

Your probably right about the ratings, I just don't trust TPTB any further than I could see or throw them, so...  And I can't say it's worked or done anything for me, but you know I'm missing a fanning gene these days. So I'll just agree to disagree with you one somethings and hope by the end of the season, I'm still fairly neutral on her, him, them.

I actually listened and they were talking about trolls and letting SM comments affect her.

Re the bold, well said. Living off the opinions of others whether positive or negative is a dangerous thing IMO, the same folks that celebrate one today will not hesitate to pull one down the next day. Like I have posted before I do expect backlash on SM for Rachel at some point; she may appear to be celebrated now but pretty sure it's coming at some point IMO but if she continues to ignore SM as she says, she will just be alright IMHO.

I'm listening to the podcast and she was talking about negative comments so yeah it's best for her not to care imo
