Rachel went through a lot - she was dating one of the cameramen from RW and they were in a car crash - he was killed. She met Sean I think a year later on a challenge and they got married when she got pregnant (after the whole time she was on the show, making a big deal about saving her virginity for marriage).

She got raked over the coals in every way someone could and I think she finally grew up and realized whatever perks you get aren't worth it.

You know, here's my question: why didn't Kate write the book with Jon, and go on a book tour with him?

It would be nice if this would not just kill J&K+8 the show, but the whole reality genre as well.
