A tearful Rachel was eliminated, but she told People that she doesn’t blame Nicole for her elimination.

“Nicole is the nicest person and the most beautiful person inside and out,” Rachel told the mag. “She is amazing, and I don’t understand why people are taking it out on her. It’s no one’s fault. It’s not even America’s fault. It’s no one person’s fault. It’s just what God had in store for me. And I will be okay.”

FYI: Nicole is wearing Luichiny booties and POParazzi earrings.
