When they were getting out of the elevator, it appeared that Rachael extended her hand to Martha, who quickly jerked it away as if to say, "don't touch me", or "I can do it myself". I thought the whole segment just proved what I already knew. It was very unpleasant to watch, and I can only surmise that Rachael was as uncomfortable doing it as I was watching it.
I noticed the same thing. I think most of it is just that Rachael is an extremely warm and open person, very "touchy-feely"....I love both Rachael and Martha and thoroughly enjoyed the show but I completely prefer how open and accessible Rachael is. It is just personality differences.......some people are just more "closed" and that has always bothered me about Martha. Even when Martha tries to act more open it just seems forced and doesn't work. Don't get me wrong I completely respect her and think she is beyond talented and fabulous at what she does. I just think that I relate better to Rachael because she is more down to earth and seems so much more approachable and open and that is how my personality is as well. Rachael doesn't put on airs, she is what she is, love her or hate her you always feel as if you are seeing the REAL Rach and I love her for that.
Once again though I thoroughly enjoyed the show, I am not bashing Martha they just have two totally different styles! That's why there is chocolate and vanilla!!
