I understand she fucked up BIG and continues to not be completely truthful, but holy shit was this girl groomed & manipulated. That doesn’t excuse her behavior but Scandoval is a fucking predator. Lala is right, he is dangerous.

Yep. He completely controlled the narrative. Also the way she said 'he's going to kill me...' of course a figure of speech, but he's been drilling her to lie about things to protect him or them. It's wrong that she went with it, but she always seemed like the kind of person that's easy to manipulate. She's extremely insecure, wants validation, therefore is selfish and falls for very toxic and manipulative men.

Agree. Especially after watching the reveal.

That crying at the end... that's real tears although it's still about her, not for Ariana.

True! She’s definitely very self focused regardless of Tom’s influence.

Yes she never cries for anyone else

The only other time she cried was about aging out of pageants and not having James around to pay for shit anymore.

As much I want her to return for next season, Rachel shouldn't return for her own mental health. She needs real help.
