I don't think she's horrible - she just doesn't seem to have much about her. I don't think they're giving her much camera time which is a shame, she's clearly got talent.

She just seems a little withdrawn (not shy, just not very bubbly), which I know can be mistaken for haughtiness. I think she's competitive, but I think every girl on the show is competitive, or else they wouldn't have gotten this far. There's nothing wrong with it, but it seems to have made her the devil in the eyes of a few people especially on this forum. I could be wrong of course, but from the little I've seen of her on the show she actually comes across as quite pleasant.

Rachel reminds me of the actress who played Nancy in the film musical Oliver and has a lot of her qualities.

But I agree she hasn't received much attention in the show and the only angle the edit is showing of her personality is the 'competitive and consumate professional' which as mentioned must apply to all of them. This isn't revealing much about her as a person and doesn't endear to the public as much as the more sympathetic edit the other girls are getting. Possibly she is a quiet person and this is misinterpreted as haughtiness as rebecca87 mentioned. It's about time show balanced this out.

It can also be hard for fms here to make objective comments or support her as there is a vocal anti-Rachel minority on the forum who seem to hate nice things being said about her, so well done the OP for starting an appreciation thread.

I'm starting to agree - I think I may have been too quick to judge Rachel too harshly, because she doesn't have as soft a demeanour as some of the others. I think she's just a bit intense/focused/driven and introspective, rather than stereotypically bubbly/outgoing. It'll be interesting to see how being the least popular Nancy this week would have affected her.

You can get odds of over 6 on Betfair.

I reckon that is pretty generous after her abberation last week.

She'll bounce back.

Although Rachel is not my fav and doesn't excite me, I know that she could handle 8 shows a week and be consistent. She's the only one right now who could do the role if it was starting as quickly as Joseph and Sound of Music.

Why is there no diary video's yet of Rachel on the BBC site? Again missing her out.....maybe reasons why people think she's cold. She's not given the air-time to change peoples viewpoint.

I was wondering that as well. None for Sam or Jessie either!

They normally put up a video diary of the person who has been saved in the sing-off, but there's none for Rachel!

I think the fact that Rachel isn't as popular is due to her perceived coldness stems from the fact that this is a personality contest as much as a performing competition.

I think the fact that Jodie is so much more popular even though she isn't light years better than Rachel even though Jodie is much more popular tells me that Jodie's personality is a big component of her popularity.

This is the flaw of the TV format since the winning contestant has to have the personality to win the audience. A 'real' audition would not see this as a major factor, but the TV format means that the winning girl has to have a winning personality.

I'm glad someone has started a thread for Rachel. It seemed as though no-one liked her. She has always been my favourite although I did like Sarah too.

I hope Rachel does win and I also hope that Sarah gets something else soon as I am sure she will.

Aye, the BBC have been slacking in updates recently. I hope she does one though... I'd like an insight into her personality.

There are normally 2 or 3 video diaries up by now! Rachel only has one! Another example of how she isn't being focused on by the BBC!! Completely unfair! No wonder why people haven't seen her personality properly!

Just thought I'd give this a bump up!

Rachel was great tonight as ever, BH is an absolute c@ck for that ATROCIUS "understudy" comment. Did you see Rachel's face afterwards? There's literally not a worse thing you could say to any actress. Hopefully she'll be safe this week and show them what she's made of next week!

Perhaps he was trying the tack of say something nasty and people will vote out of sympathy tack to try and stop her being in the bottom two

I actually liked Rachel tonight - she appeared far more natural than she ever did. Although I still thought her acting left a lot to be desired, she has been far worse than this in previous weeks (Beautiful springs to mind) which the judges basically salivated over. I also thought she was excellent in the trio performance and I'm warming to her a lot. Barry's comment was not on though, it was unnecessary and he could've made the point without being so crushing.

Im not impressed with Rachel but I think she came in second behind Jodie............the rest were just...........bad....

BH comment about the understudy.....bolt from the blue.........I think AWL told him to do that........BH has never had an original idea the whole series.
