Friends S8 Ep: 11 & 12 - FULL REACTION
Added 2025-02-23 19:00:08 +0000 UTCI love what they are doing with Joey and Rachel at the moment. I don't particularly mind whether it becomes a thing and works out or not, I just find it so entertaining seeing the dynamic between them! Enjoy :)

I still wish it had happened tbh.

2025-03-03 20:37:02 +0000 UTCI really like how natural it is between Joey and Rachel and I think it was adorable when she pulls him in to cuddle while watching Cujo. But it was difficult for me to see them as a couple. I'm sure you've heard a lot of opinions on pairing them. If I remember correctly, the cast weren't fans of Joey and Rachel.

2025-03-02 22:24:48 +0000 UTCJoey/Rachel lover myself. Ross and Rachel, though fun, just never seem to feel real or right to me. So excited to hear your thoughts and for you to see what happens! It’s honestly my most favorite couple of seasons in the whole show starting about now.

2025-02-25 05:33:49 +0000 UTCOkay this explains how I feel also, lol. I always loved their friendship ever since Rachel moved in with Joey the first time. And this definitely was the most human we ever saw him in terms of showing real emotion. I just never saw them as a couple.

2025-02-24 20:30:54 +0000 UTCI love that you’re excited about the Rachel and Joey thing, and for some reason I knew you’d like the dynamic lol. I think they have great natural chemistry as well, and I like the idea that sometimes when you’re not looking for that with someone is when it can often happen.

2025-02-24 20:11:00 +0000 UTCAll of this. 👌

2025-02-24 20:04:58 +0000 UTCI’ve always actually loved this storyline - I don’t ship Joey and Rachel in the slightest and love their friendship, but I truly believe it’s one of the most vulnerable we get to see Joey in the entire series.
maisie
2025-02-24 18:56:26 +0000 UTCSurprised you actually like the thought of Joey and Rachel, its extremely weird to me, and it would make the friend group EXTREMELY weird. Plus they dont fit at all. And im really ranting over this lmaoo, anyways love the reactions as always

2025-02-24 18:01:14 +0000 UTCI do not enjoy the Rachel and Joey story line. But it is good seeing Joey having good adult feelings about a woman. Just wish it was with somebody else.

2025-02-24 15:59:04 +0000 UTCI get the feeling this kid might have been around the block (maybe more than once), lol.

2025-02-24 11:01:32 +0000 UTCYou know, Heida, I'm starting to look forward to these...

2025-02-24 10:56:07 +0000 UTCOMG. Who taught Oscar those dirty words?
Citizenschnapps
2025-02-24 06:35:43 +0000 UTCI actually liked Joey/Rachel together. I felt like their personalities match way more than Ross/Rachel.
Nas Khan
2025-02-24 01:18:04 +0000 UTCRoss and Rachel have good chemistry and history, of course, but I find it hard to deny the chemistry exists with Joey and Rachel too.
Paul
2025-02-24 01:13:44 +0000 UTCI love the chemistry between Rachel and Joey! Also, probably one of the funniest scenes this season is Ross out of breath and fully of pep having run all the way to class fast enough, then chugging the student's water bottle, LOL David Schwimmer is such a good actor.
Paul
2025-02-24 01:12:47 +0000 UTCI'm one of the Joey/Rachel "dislikers". I didn't hate the storyline, but I definitely always preferred them as best friends. As annoying and problematic as Ross became, I'll always be team Ross/Rachel.
Debbie
2025-02-24 00:03:16 +0000 UTCI LOVE the Rachel/Joey dynamic! I know a lot of people disagree because of Ross, but they’re so similar in a way and like you said just enjoy each other so much. Even before the events of this episode I’ve always loved their scenes together and I think Matt and Jen have amazing chemistry. I’m glad you’re enjoying it as well.
Victoria Tofoli
2025-02-23 23:01:36 +0000 UTCFantastic movie, I agree. Go in knowing absolutely nothing.

2025-02-23 22:59:24 +0000 UTCPoor Chandler and his claw. Also, I'd really recommend Tucker and Dale vs Evil. It's a horror/comedy that's just pure fun from start to finish, with really heartfelt moments.
BlueYami
2025-02-23 22:56:04 +0000 UTCIt’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t hate Joey and Rachel together, it does seem natural and they really seem to click.
Raquel
2025-02-23 22:39:44 +0000 UTCI also may like them together more because when I think about it, it’s sort of similar with my boyfriend and I. We’ve been friends since high school. He opened up his house to me as I was leaving a mentally/emotionally abusive living environment and then we were in lockdown together during Covid. We developed feelings for each other, and that’s how that all happened.
Teej
2025-02-23 20:35:27 +0000 UTCI know a lot of people would disagree with me, but I liked Rachel and Joey more than Rachel and Ross. I just think their chemistry is so much better and the way they both take care of each other. I always thought Rachel and Ross were very toxic together. I agree with you that Rachel and Joey just seem so natural together.

2025-02-23 20:29:48 +0000 UTCOnly half true but can't say anything without spoiling...
Heida
2025-02-23 20:02:53 +0000 UTCForgot to say it in the last reaction but you look so good with the beard Oscar! The Joey and Rachel thing really did come out of nowhere but I'm not mad at it either. It sucks for Joey but it's nice when he actually cares about women and is all sweet. Still ship Ross and Rachel though! Fun facts: David Schwimmer directed E12, the 8th of 10 episodes directed by him in the series. The others are 6x06 "The One on the Last Night", 7x04 "TOW Rachel's Assistant", 7x07 "TOW Ross's Library Book", 7x09 "TOW All the Candy", 7x16 "TOW Rachel's Assistant", 8x02 "TOW the Red Sweater", 8x08 "TOW the Stripper", 8x12, 9x05 and 10x09. Joey's date mentions Stephen Baldwin, who you may know as the brother of Alec Baldwin. But what you might not know is that Stephen is the father of Hailey Bieber (formerly Baldwin), Justin Bieber's wife. Btw, the actress who plays Joey's date is Krista Allen and she was on Days of Our Lives, as well as The Bold and the Beautiful, and appeared in movies such as Liar Liar with Jim Carrey, Anger Management and Final Destination 4. Ashley Clark, who plays Phoebe's friend Roger in E11, also appeared on 7x09 as one of the people Monica's apartment asking for candy. Shawn Christian who plays Rachel's doctor in E11 played Jennifer Aniston's dad's godson on Days of Our Lives. The scene in the restaurant when Joey starts laughing and says "I couldn't even get through that" was an adlib that was left in. Goofs/continuity errors: Ross says he gave Mona "the only key" to his apartment. But Monica previously had a key when she would go to his place to borrow cooking ingredients and sometimes take money without him knowing. Additionally, in every apartment building there is a super or maintenance person who has a spare sets of keys. When Monica unwraps the game, she is extremely excited and suggests they put it in the guest bedroom. However, in 6x03 when Chandler suggests turning the spare room into a game room and buying arcade games, Monica is completely against the idea.

2025-02-23 20:01:11 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the Rachel/Joey storyline. An unexpected development and I think they have great chemistry as a duo. The actors were reported to be uncomfortable with the romantic relationship, but I think they do a great job. I love how Joey gives Rachel permission to be shallow.

2025-02-23 19:54:48 +0000 UTCGirl, same! 🥹 It’s unfairly hated by a lot of people.
Hope
2025-02-23 19:49:09 +0000 UTCYess I love Rachel and Joey. A lot of people will try to tell you this is the worse story line of friends but imo I love it.
