So in Season one, Rachel was my number one fave character. I loved everything about her- her craziness, her wacky jumpers and her attitude but this season, I feel as if she's lost all of that.
She seems more concerned with being popular and being liked. I just miss the Rachel from Season One who used to do what she wanted and not to be influenced by others and what they think of her. And don't get me wrong, I still love her, but I just miss the old Rachel!
I was just wondering if anyone else thought this!

Finn has ruined her!

Yes, I think so too, I still like her, but I miss old Rachel.

I don't think she's more concerned about being popular than she ever was, but she's different.

This clearly shows a deficiency on the writing, that isn't capable of developing the character, make her grow, and from there create new chalanges and new plot. Finn is also suffering from the writers lack of creativity, but in Rachel's case is way worse because they are highlighting her worse qualities and opening little space for redemption.

I still love her. But she was so much stronger and self-assured last season. And now, especially regarding Finn, she's become this insecure shell of her former self. I really hope that we get a break from Finchel and she finds more of her old self in their time apart. :/

the bangs made her evil.

No This is Rachel & Pardon her for making mistakes but let me remind you She is a human Being and is capable of making mistakess!

I love her and Finichel but you need to move on.

She is really annoying

Ye I agree with x-missmckena-x. Finn is a dopy giant with no brain
