The egg+spoon task was very funny on the live feed, not just the eggedy-eggety-eggety-egg thing, but also where the wind was blowing her hair into her face and she was telling the wind to go away (I was peeing myself through the live feed, the girl's a nutter, lol)

Rachel to Rex (sarcastically): "Rex knows everything because he's predicted every week who's going to leave, and he's always been right.... Who listens to Rex..."

Waiting outside the LR->DR door for an hour whilst Darnell was in there contemplating whether to leave or not and then leaping on and hugging him on his return. Awwwwww.
Rehearsing the cheerleaders song/dance for the Save Lisa campaign with Lisa, Kat & Mikey, and letting rip with a huge loud, operatic & tuneful "Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" (Lisa's reaction was as equally funny - and lo and behold, yet again, they didn't show it on the highlights show).
Lisa to Mikey: "I was wrong about Rachel. I've made a complete plonker of myself." (Lisa realises that she was paranoid to believe that Rachel fancied Mario)
http://www.bigbroweb.co.uk/big-brother-9/lisa-i-was-wrong-about-rachel.aspx
Wow, what happened to that girl in the picture?" Rex asked, looking at the photo of Rachel on her rosette, taken before she entered the House.
"Yeah, exactly," mumbled Mohamed.
Rachel looked hurt. "I don't have to dress up every day, do I?"
"No, but that doesn't really look like you," replied Rex.
"It does, when I dress up and wear makeup and do my hair," insisted Rachel. "Not in here it doesn't, 'cause I don't make an effort."
"That's not what you said in your VT," Rex said pointedly. "You said you make an effort every day."
Michael jumped to Rachel's defence. "No, she said she didn't wear make-up every day. She doesn't have to."
"I came in here to enjoy the Big Brother experience," added Rachel, "not to look pretty for you guys."
"I wouldn't want you to look pretty for me, Rachel," replied Rex scornfully.
"I wouldn't want you to look pretty for me anyway," echoed Mohamed.
"Exactly, so stop going on about it," Rachel concluded sweetly.

All the one-on-one conversations with Mikey (mainly), or with Kat, Rex, Lisa, Sara about everything from chicken farms, holidays & other countries, music, clubbing with her friends, Wales, family, boyfriend, universities, education, teaching, theatre, child acting career, nature, films, horror films, food, exercising, beauty pageants, pets, gyms, and more (unlike most of the other housemates, except for Rex & Darnell, it was a joy to hear someone not talking only about events in the house and/or bitching about the other housemates).
Umm.... yeah, some crazy moments, lol

Add all of the above to these factors:
The main object of Luke/Mario & Team B1tch/Nasty's (Luke aka chief poisoner and stirrer, Sylvia, Alex, Dennis, Jen, Dale, Stu, Bex, Lisa) hate campaign and transference, just for being nice (Rachel was nasty at the auditions and came into the room and shouted at everyone; This whole 'nice' thing is fake; Rachel is too nice; Rachel is a sheep (baa); Rachel goes into the DR to slag everyone off; Rachel is copying Helen from BB2; Rachel is boring; Rachel has no opinions; Rachel is sly and a stirrer; Rachel only talks about chickpeas and rice; Rachel was a sex-kitten in the first 2 weeks and tried it on with/fancied Mario; etc etc, yawn yawn, lies lies, bitch bitch, etc)

Taking a whole heap of crap from Rex over her VT , the Cake Task and more, but still coming out with her integrity & dignity fully intact, and made Rex look like a complete fool.
Rachel, believe your fans when we say "You are not boring, far far from it! You are also not a fencesitter, not dull, bland, fake, a saint, or whatever else your detractors tried to accuse you of. You are Rachel Rice, you won Big Brother by just being your own wonderful self, and we love you just the way you are. Please do not change, for anyone, ever!"

She has been a true loyal friend to all of Kat, Mikey, Darnell & Mo, has supported them through thick & thin, and always consoled and picked them up whenever they have been at their lowest (and all 4 have expressed their appreciation in the DR).

Has given her all to the entire BB experience. She's pulled her weight with all the household chores, and has given 100% in every single task, excelling in most of them.
Has been on a MAJOR emotional journey. And so have I whilst watching her. As one fan said, "She laughs, she sings, she raises spirits. She lifts viewers' hearts. She lifts mine, anyway".
The most empathic, selfless, positive, level-headed, altruistic, compassionate, kind & genuinely nice hm, who is also the only one who hasn't done any bitching or backstabbing, or done one single nasty thing for 12 whole weeks.
She is a lot stronger than many give her credit for. Most people would've cracked a long time ago under all that pressure, surrounded by so many odious and/or overbearing people, but she just soldiers on, never plays the 'poor bullied victim' card, tells them (Rex, Luke, Stu, Dale, Mo, etc) off like they're naughty schoolboys, never gives in to peer pressure and somehow manages to keep on smiling in the face of so much adversity. Her smile alone is entertaining enough :-)
Rachel is probably the nicest housemate ever. What makes Rachel extra special is that she is also the housemate with the strongest mental fortitude in BB history. When she has needed to take someone down she has done so. When she has had to stand up to peer pressure in there she has been unwavering in sticking to her principles.
Rachel is class and the public will choose Rachel over any of the others, simply because she stands out from the crowd.

Rachel would see the best in everyone rather than dwell on their faults"

"I think the most interesting head of house week ever was when Rachel was at the helm. SO much drama when Rachel is allowed to be put in the spotlight for just a minute instead of being drowned out by fake wannabes who play up for the cameras.
Despite her non-confrontational disposition, she has never backed down when people have a problem with her. She stands up for herself and others. During her HoH week, she put herself last and always did what was best for the group. This really seems like a genuine quality in her personality that I admire.
She takes so much shit for being the way she is. If it is all an act, why not just drop it and try something else? If she wanted to do the popular thing she would have made A LOT of different decisions along the way. Instead, she followed her heart and did what SHE thought was right. Rachel is accused of sitting on the fence, but that's pure bullocks and she proved that time and time again. Standing up to Rex when everyone was butt-licking him to high heaven. Standing up to Alex when most were too scared to say a word. Stood up to Jen and Sylvia and told them, more or less, that they were backstabbing bitches. Didn't take shit from Nicole on the Friday she was evicted and wanted to monopolize the hair-straighteners like the little spoiled brat that she is. Voted for Rex TO HIS FACE and telling him last night that she was glad she did it.
Rachel is so damn fierce and has been a fantastic housemate. I'm going to bed and will vote for her again tomorrow and every day leading up to the final."
Rachel - a lovely girl, truly amazing, a true sweetheart, highly talented, and a true star.

It would be a travesty of justice if she didn't win.
Rachel to win!
Added 5/9/08:
Rachel wins! Rachel wins! Yesssss! Woooooooo!
Congratulations Rachel. You soooo deserved it! Your thousands of fans and supporters are truly happy for you. Some of us even cried tears of joy! Wooohooooo! Yeeeeeah! Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic! Thank you for being the best BB housemate ever, and the best BB winner ever too. Your family should and must be very very proud of you. I know we are. We have loved watching you on BB this summer. We're going to miss seeing you on our screens, but hopefully you won't be away from our screens for too long. We wish you all the best for a very bright and successful future and hope to see you again and again and again, and as soon as possible. You won Big Brother by just being your wonderful self all the way through! Three hundred thousand million cheers for Rachel! Yay!
"The difference with Rachel is, I think, that Rachel's support base was much wider than the internet. She appealed to all kinds of people from all different walks of life for a variety of reasons. No matter what their demographic, people recognise an altruistic person when they see one. They recognise hard work and they recognise genuine compassion. Decency doesn't need much selling, it sells itself, and it transcends demographic boundaries."

What sad lives they must have.
But it wasn't all bad because we could watch you on live feed and you would always cheer us up in a million little ways. You inspired me by showing how to make the most of every minute and how to rise above spite and pettiness. I watched a lot of BB but I must have missed some because one thing I never saw was you sitting on the fence!
And then it turned out we weren't the only ones who loved you. You won! WOW! Justice was served (hee-hee). Well done, Rachel, not just for winning but for doing so by being totally true to yourself and a credit to your family."
Rachel: The BB production team did everything in their power to try prevent you from winning (or at least it seemed that way to many of your supporters). They virtually edited you out of the highlights show in the first few weeks to try portray you as the boring one, and then when your popularity started to rise after the VT incident and your stint as Head of House, they further attempted more hatchet jobs on the HL show coupled with loads of negativity on the spinoff shows. Even though more than 80% of your best bits never even made the highlights show, you still managed to win. This surely proves what an amazing housemate you were. In many peoples' opinion, you were the best ever, and the only true deserving winner. It's a crying shame that BB (and their media outlets/cash cow) now has sour grapes and egg on their faces. Victims of their own bad editing. But don't let any of this upset or deter you. Rise above it, as you always do. It's entirely their own faults for not being honest with the public in the first place. Thankfully, the majority of the viewers who saw your true personality on the live feed were not fooled by their blatent attempts at manipulation, and you can hold your head up high and enjoy all the success that you so truly deserve. Congratulations again, Rachel. Well done! We <3 you :-)
