I didn't really like Rachel her first time around and I have to admit that I rolled my eyes when I saw her show up this season. She did grow on me somewhat this season although I am still not a fan...BUT....Good game play is good game play. She played hard, made good adjustments, and won challenges when she needed to win them. She was definitely a deserving winner. A hat tip and sincere congratulations to her. It is good to see someone win who fights for it.
