Rochelle Maria Rao, former Miss India and a popular face who was seen hosting the show, Extra Innings T20' made waves when she decided to enter Bigg Boss 9.' She was one of the most beautiful contestants on the show. However, that wasn't an opportunity' for other contestants, as she entered the show with her boyfriend, actor-model, Keith Sequeira.

The model's journey in the show can be termed as one of the instances where we say, this is the quietness of a storm before it explodes.' She was one of the quietest contestants who has now turned into one of the most dynamic ones. We list down the highs and lows of this transformation journey. Take a look-

HIGHS


Keith's sudden exit from the show initially
The exit of Keith Sequeira was extremely unfortunate for him as it was due to his brother's death, making him leave the show midway. However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Rochelle as she came out of her comfort zone. She started participating in all tasks with complete dedication, was active in almost all the matters of the house and had fun moments with everyone.
Being rational in the case where Mandana re-enters the house after a day in the secret house
There was another instance during Keith's absence, where Mandana was made to leave the house only to be a part of the secret room and watch the other contestants for a day. In that period, the rest of the contestants were given the task of getting themselves nominated by Mandana, unknown to her. So as a part of the task, Rochelle said bitchy things about Mandana, who thought she is talking behind her back. Upon her re-entry, Mandana accused Rochelle and started hating her for what she did in spite of getting the knowledge that it was for a task. In the whole matter, Rochelle handled herself gracefully and was even applauded by Salman for the same.
Bonding with other members apart from Keith
Coming out of Keith's shadow after his exit, Rochelle started bonding with maximum contestants and developed an amazing relationship with them. Rochelle and Suyyash were at loggerheads in the initial days, where later they developed amongst the sweetest friendships which stayed intact. Rochelle's bond became so strong that upon Keith's re-entry, the whole group became one which included Suyyash, Kishwer, Prince, Nora, Keith and herself.
Being a part of 'The Cool Group' after Keith's re-entry
Her bonding was obvious, but it was termed that after Keith's re-entry, the whole thing would make her become the old Rochelle once again. This happened for a small period, but soon she became the way she was during Keith's absence and in fact, Keith became a welcomed member to the group, owing to Rochelle. The impact of this was so strong that now, she along with Prince have become the elite ones to enter to finale, tackling Kishwer, who was one of the strongest contenders.
Not ceasing to impress with her beauty and brains as well
In the process of being involved in numerous issues in the house, the beautiful girl that she is, she never ceased to lose out on this attribute. She would do all the flirty and seductive tasks with finesse, maintaining her relationship with Keith and also being an important voice in the house. She became the complete package and a force to be reckoned with. 


LOWS


Having dialect problems
Rochelle is a Tamilian and doesn't know much Hindi. The history of non-Hindi or less-Hindi speaking contestants in the Bigg Boss house is quite illustrious, where usually their shortcoming is never exploited. However, in the initial days, her dialect problems became a point of concern for her as during all the misunderstandings and fights she was indulged in, there were extreme communication problems. In fact, one or two fights were the result of her not able to convey what she exactly meant to say.
Not opening up initially in the show and staying under Keith's shadow
While Keith was in the house in the starting days, one could see Rochelle's discomfort in being able to bond with others. She would barely talk with anyone and would not be a part of various discussions. During the fights that occurred during tasks, she would voice her opinion only when Keith would, and that was always the same. This led to a major low point for Rochelle where it was assumed that without Keith she may not even survive the show.
Keith's re-entry into the show
Barring all the assumptions and shutting up many mouths, Rochelle became a different person after Keith's exit. This roller coaster ride of persona took another dip down, when Keith re-entered the show after a short sabbatical. Rochelle once again became quieter and started siding with him, often ignoring others who also witnessed this visible change. The consolation of this was that it prevailed for a short period of time.
Being dominant over Keith and complaining all the time
Rochelle's unseen side was that of being dominant over Keith. There were so many instances where she would complain about the most unreasonable things to Keith which included him not supporting her or him not entertaining her in the right way etc. She also had small fights with him where she would be so mad at him that she said stuff, none would expect coming from her. In all the instances, Keith would succumb to her arguments and complaints and try calming her down which developed a negative image for both of them.
Becoming a cry baby at times
She sulked unimaginably at several times, complaining about small stuff and eventually crying her way out. The most recent case involved that of being angry with Rishab and complaining after doing all the good things for him and he wasn't thankful for the same. The whole episode ultimately led her to cry.

Do you think she deserves to win the show? Please leave in your comments below.

Rochelle is the worst contestant who is an opportunist . Desperate for contacts. Asking tarot lady if her friendship with mandala will work! She is looser

She's by far the least malicious n real person on the show. Speaks her mind. Doesn't let the lack of Hindi affect her confidence. She deserves to win for playing a clean n positive game.

She may not be a role model for many but she's one of the few contestants who tried to be friends with everybody in the house. That's a sign of a true leader. Unlike Madana who kept saying mera marzi in everything and anything and saying that she's not here to make friends. No one is in the house to make relationship, but a true sign of a winner is stating your opinion and at the same time getting along with everyone in the house. Rochelle has been the best example of that.

She is role model for no one. All she did was whine and complain to her BF. She did groupism with others. Not at all a deserving person.Not even for runner up
