I wish we could. But then the “not hot” posters post more about how not hot she is,[i] and then it becomes a back and forth again.

Maybe we can all just collectively agree to assert that she is officially determined to be Not Hot. Then hopefully we can move on to more substantive discussion.

You should have stopped after your first sentence. You posted again about her not being hot.

Maybe they’re hotter than her physically depending on who is doing the judging, but she knows how to turn on the sex appeal in a way that the college girls don’t. She can rock lingerie and has sexy skilz while they schlump around in ironic oversized t shirts, glasses, and clunky sneakers.

Yep, she is true to her gold digger persona for sure. A bit dumb and just pretty enough.

DP. I think certain posters are obsessed with whether Rachel was sufficiently hot or whether she was too “into herself” because they are jealous of her. They seem jealous of the Rachels in their lives.

Mmm no. We are not jealous of Rachel. We just don’t think her degree of attractiveness is that high. We think she is pretty, like my neighbors in my NW DC were 15-20 years ago when they got married to their UMC provider.

I sincerely think Paula is the hottest woman on the show.
Btw I’m not white.

But why is it so important to certain posters to keep pointing out how “not hot” they think she is? That’s the part I don’t get. She’s not a real person; you’re not going to be able to hurt her feelings.

The actress is a real person whether or not Rachel, the character is, and the "hot" comments are about the actress' appearance which doesn't fade to black after the credits when the show ends.

Paula was hot. Rachel was pretty.

Okay but who cares whether you or anyone else thinks the actress who plays Rachel is really hot or a little hot or not hot at all? This thread is about a TV show.

But see, this totally was a swing and a miss to me! She didn't do it well at all, which isn't surprising, given her confidence level. So it was just unbelievable on every level.

DP. Agree. The vehemence with which the “not hot” pp are dumping on Rachel reflects some deep seated insecurities and jealousy. Which is interesting, because the writers were so clear about the MIL’s jealousy over Rachel’s looks. The MIL was well-cast, because you can see that she was Rachel when she was younger, and while she’s still attractive for her age, she’s no longer the stunner that she was, and it really eats at her.

No one is questioning whether or not the MIL is jealous. We are questioning whether her looks and body confidence would be enough to drop the jaws of two college-age girls who are no slouches themselves in the looks department.

It may have been unbelievable to you; that’s fine. Please understand that many others found it believable. You’re just going to have to agree to disagree with those people, I’m afraid. You’re not going to change their minds no matter how many times you post about how unattractive she is.

Yep, plus the MIL is hideous so she was never a Rachel. She did say she had money though so that was what she brought to her marriage.

This is a relatively minor scene that has little bearing on what happens to any of these characters later on. Try to suspend your disbelief and move on.

So much stridency from the Rachel is so hot crowd.

The middle aged frumpies have all day to whine about a younger prettier woman. Most of them have no jobs, no hobbies, just their kids and grey haired dopey looking receding hairline husband, sit in their dirty houses that they don’t clean, watch TV and Netflix and eat snacks until it’s time to wander over to the school for pick up. Then they stand around with their arms folded in their sweatpants and t-shirts nodding at each other and say “my house is a mess and my husband is away on a business trip. Wah!” It’s fun to rip on a random actress that they don’t know, it gives them something to do.

Ooh good catch!! I thought it was odd that he could afford this place. I’m going to rewatch to look for the clues that he wasn’t even a guest but looking for a rich single woman.

That's interesting. I also thought it was bizarre that he would go to a fancy resort, by himself, and spend thousands of dollars when he's a guy on a government salary. It would seem to be way out of his price range.

He is dying. Not so worried about the expense of what could be his last vacation.

Dying doesn’t account for the weird room number coincidence. Also how was their an open room when Armand said the hotel was full? Is this just poor writing? As I understand it, season 2 will have a different storyline.
