Just watched the holiday episode (Spoiler: Raquel continues to suck)

I am only on Season 2 (which I started dragging my feet on once I realized that Raquelle is not going away), but I skipped ahead to the new holiday episode and it's obvious that they are leaning hard into incorporating Raquelle as a permanent quirky sidekick. It's clearly not an accident; she has a whole script and storyline. The producers have also clearly decided that her 'character trait' is snacking on the food and we are supposed to find it delightful and relatable, rather than rude, annoying, and gross.

It's hard to imagine how you can ruin such a simple and charming premise, but they really have.
