Without a doubt Ross and Rachel were the ultimate Will They, Won't They couple on TV. Throughout the entire run of Friends, audiences were enamored with Ross and Rachels journey, waiting to see if they would end up together. Which is why in Season 8 when Joey and Rachel started to get together, fans of Friends were immediately turned off by the

I liked Joey and Rachel lol. I thought they were sweet.

Same here. He was so nice to her during the pregnancy and generally, wasn't that toxic toward her.

Ross and her shouldn't have been a thing.

Granted I only watched the show casually but I was happy when they got together-- and salty when the writers immediately fumbled them, lol.

This. I was a very casual viewer (of streaming the episodes; my bf is the huge fan), and I thought it was a great way to shake things up.

I remember watching Friends when it was first airing and there was a lot of us who were absolutely tired of the Ross n Rachel thing tbh. So when she got with Joey it just felt like it was just adding to the Ross n Rachel drama show and was exhausting. And also like get out of the Friend group!! Go find someone else, pls!!! But alas the writers wanted to keep dangling Ross n Rachel. So frustrating.

Yeah, they were clearly just buying time to eventually get Ross and Rachel together again so at least pair her up with someone cute and off group. I really liked her with Gavin lol

She should've gone to Paris with him.

He was handsome, charming, successful and didn't put her down.

I was a casual viewer but I actually liked Ross & Rachel 🤷‍♀️

[swissbeauty23]

honestly I preferred her with Joey because Ross was such a relentless dick to her

[buries]

He was so deeply insecure and projected that onto her throughout the entirety of their platonic and romantic relationship. He sucked so much when he was with someone.

I didn’t like this relationship, it felt like the writers didn’t know what to do. Also, I didn’t like how Joey got dumber and dumber every season and Phoebe got meaner and meaner. I used to want Joey/Phoebe together but oh well lmao

[primimproper]

Paul Rudd just has to wedge himself in. He's not even letting his [Spoiler (click to open)]first character's death stop him from booking Only Murders in the Building. How can you say no?

[steffi_333]

Lmao this reminds me that there’s a fan conspiracy theory that Phoebe somehow dies and Ursula assumes her life, and that’s why she gets so mean 🤣

No excuses for Joey getting dumber. That’s just lazy writing.

[iamkenough]

Lmaooo I didn’t know that conspiracy LOLLLLL i’m dying
