    Boring Rachel

    Rachel is the dumbest character of this show. Every single episode about her and her boyfriends are soooo boooriiiinnggg. She is the one weakest link of this perfect cast.

    Rachel dumb girl

    In this episode Rachel going crazy and her craziness continue in each episode of this season. From 2021 it's look like she is absolutely egotistical person with psychological problems in relationships.
