original_post:_10/8/2004____________________________ I knew, for a while, that although it was "teased" a lot, Alli and Rae would never hook up, get together, or date. So when Naomi takes Alli's place, I knew this would be as close as they would get. A little bit of fan service isn't bad, as long as it can be justified with good reason, and with a twist. Some people asked if Naomi's speech was all just B.S. to try to bed Rachael. I think there was a little bit of truth to it, in as much as she feels very lonely, and feels like she's never been able to connect with Alli, her own sister. Naomi is bisexual, and even though she's using Chip and might have some feelings for him, she has this curiosity about Rachael. And it's also fun for her to manipulate her naive experimenting.
