But a little better than a year ago I thought Rachel was losing her edge. She moved in the repetition stage. The same story line of the night the A block I think they call it. Se would go on and on telling it one way than another than yet another. It got annoying. And insulting. Rachel I GET IT! move on. Finally I have to credit her with pushing me over the edge. The edge that got me to cut the damn cable. No more BS feeds. NO more paying for BS feeds. I believe Rachel hit her peak then moved passed it to the down slope side of the curve.
