But her position is still the same. With or without Jordan, her fate in the game requires her to win competitions.
Shelly would have been just as useless as Jordan in the doughnut comp, so Rachel likely would still have won that one, putting her in the same position as she's in now.
The only thing that changed is the security blanket of maybe having Jordan to bail her out if she failed in challenges.
