Yeah, it's not even worth it.

I really haven't liked how the girls have approached the Corinne situation either. Focusing so much on her skipping the rose ceremony (who cares??) and being so self-righteous about how she's the not the type of woman nick needs and always confronting her in front of everybody. If they have a problem with her, they should talk to her about it about her specific issues and not psychoanalyze her or be condescending about it. I really like that about Rachel too! She just seems like one of the most mature and level-headed girls there, which is unfortunately seen as "boring". IMO.

Nick is always the one to ask "Where's Corrine" to spark conversation with the other women. The producers and Nick know what they're doing when they choose to make it about Corrine. I also think Rachel knows which is why she chooses to be above everything and not care. Smart lady!

We don't know if she has or hasn't. We only know what the editors are showing us.
Those RC last hours with many retakes before it's finally over. I have heard from more than one source they are tedious and often go into the wee hours interfering with sleep. I would imagine anyone missing a rose ceremony or entering one late would not create a happy environment for those that HAD to and DID attend.

Personally I feel her lack of screen time is because she didn't play that game. It's not just that she doesn't say anything, but even looking at screenshots from the episode, she never seems to be involved body-language wise, when the girls confront Corrine. The show's been the Corrine show so far, EVERYONE  has been shown saying something except Rachel.

Why would they hold that footage back if she did say something when they've shown everyone else? All the sleuthing and spoilers says she's not F1, and she hasn't gotten the traditional 'ette edit like Raven did last night, so what's their angle? Maybe Corrine did bother her, but Rachel hasn't made her the focal point like pretty much all the other girls did. I can only go from what we've seen/heard/what's been spoiled so far, and based on that she wasn't really involved. JMO.

Not necessarily. She could have gotten into it also and just had her stuff edited out, although, I don't really see her getting as hot and bothered as some of them clearly are.

Sorry for the double post.

I think even if they had footage, tptb might cut it out because they may want to keep their options open for the next Bette. I do see Raven getting that edit at the moment, but we haven't even seen Rachel's date yet and it's really around HTDs and FDs that a better idea of who the next bette will be emerges.

I don't know, with CH's comments in his "five to watch" about Rachel, it seems pretty clear to me that they're trying to portray her in a negative light even though all the girls seem to adore her. It's probably because of that fight she has with Vanessa, where the winner will get the squeaky clean edit, at her expense. If they had other footage that showed Rachel as a catty, agressive women, I think they'd show it. IMO.

Why cut her footage but show every other main player (and Bette contenders) doing it? Hmm.

Raven has talked about Corrine a lot but she is still getting the next Bette edit, i think saying something about the "villain" does not hinder your chances. Rachel just didn't care or want to talk it imo

If the others were tired at the RC they should have taken naps too. Afterall Nick didn't seem to mind so why begrudge Corrine that she did. Rachel is smart to stay out of the Corinne drama, it is pettiness imo.

I agree w Sprite.
TPTB have to keep their options open. It's always possible something could happen to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] choice, leaving less options for the next season. It could simply be my bias, but if I was considering Rachel and I do think they are, why piss off an attorney? It would give her less desire to pursue being the lead is my opinion. IMO the attorney would scrutinize a contract maybe just a bit more.
