"Love to hate Janice." Excuse you, she was a queen. Annoying, sure, but iconic!

@Mony Credit to Maggie Wheeler. Just like James Michael Tyler (RIP), breathing life to Gunther, whom was also annoying at times for his obsession with Rachel etc., but he made him hilariously funny.

This list could've easily been titled "Ross and Rachel's Other Love Interest featuring some others"

[@grahamellis3547]

FRRR

[@modusvivendi2]

I mean, none of the top four were interests of theirs. It's implied that they went through disposable relationships because they never got over each other; the other friends, by contrast, didn't have the same hangups and thus actually had (Janice notwithstanding) great partners.

[@modusvivendi2]

I always thought Mona got a raw deal. She was funny, cute and had the patience of a saint.

[@trinaq]

While I liked Mike, and I'm glad he ended up with Phoebe, I also thought David was a great match too, and hope that he eventually found someone else. Either way, it's a win/win situation! 💕

I think it’s funny that Matthew Perry’s the one who got Bruce Willis on the show by winning a bet 🤣

[@cobrakaier238]

I agree Emily was villainized for no reason.

[@radrobd]

Friends fans don't seem to understand. If Ross was married, he wouldn't be hanging out at the coffee shop everyday with the other 5. So Emily's request wasn't so unreasonable.

[@maartjeschutte7859]

I agree, but she left because the actress that portraits her got pregnant so she stayed in England.

i never stopped liking emily even when she demanded ross never see rachel. i thought that was totally justified in that case. i'm normally a "you don't push the friends out" kind of person, but he royally F'd that concept.

[@maxguevara5204]

Agreed and even afterwards while he admits to fault on it on occasion on other occasions (like the 3 women whom he and phoebe got advice from when the pending divorce was coming up) he glosses over his fault for saying Rachel’s name saying ‘saying Rachel’s name at the alter, kinda my fault’ when it was completely his fault. So yeah Emily was justified in her demands and to be honest if that had happened to me at the alter I would have left him then and there she was to good for him to finish the ceremony.

[@NaturalMonroe]

Exactly why would you stop like Emily. Ross was an jack@s$ for what he did. And Emily was gracious enough to even try to make it work. Cause I would've smack the shit outta him and send him the bill for the wedding when I got the annulment.

[@maxguevara5204]

@@NaturalMonroe what I also began to find fault with on the Emily front is when she had her demands for Ross when you look back on it their actually justifiable considering what he did. And it was him, not her nor Rachel as others try so hard to blame it on. Rachel was originally invited, Ross even tried to press for her to be there right beforehand, Rachel only went cause of the realization that she still had feelings for him but she declined express them when she got there and did the mature thing by accepting that Ross had moved on and was prepared to do the same. Ross’s rushing into things with Emily hurt Emily the most but it was his own doing. Emily made her demands yes but she had her reasons to and yet ppl like to hate on both women rather than be upset with him.

[@barbarabavier675]

I didn’t like Emily even before the wedding.

no it was Julie. She was so cute and nice.

[@zelma8]

I was screaming when Richard was announced as #3, and then again when Janice was #2, because they clearly should have been the top 2. Then I saw the pick for #1 (which I thought would be #3) and their explanation, and then I was like "yup, that checks out." 🥰❤️

[@sunnygolightly9996]

A lot of thing happened to Julie , Rachel was bad for her and was always saying awful thing about her , Ross cheated on her , but she got Russ

[@naomiramonono2094]

Mike as #1 for this list is the most fitting ranking of any count down ever! A romance well deserved 💙

[@aydengibson6953]

I always hated how Ross might've been jealous of a few of Rachel's love interests but didn't do anything about it. On the other hand Rachel would be jealous of Ross and would try and sabotage a few of Ross's love interests. And when they broke up Rachel would stop having feelings for him. I always hated that from the time they broke up to the finale where they got back together, they never had feelings for each other at the same time.

[@kashiloidp.fuentes5174]

To be honest, this show has a lot of potential episodes even after the ending.

[@nikkitadrake8739]

I wish Mike was in the reunion!

[@PokemonPrince_]

[@ellnats]

my fave moments with Carol and Susan are whenever they see ross being humiliated, like the one where ben has a barbie and monica reveals that ross used to dress up as a lady "i have literally never been this happy" "please let there be a song"

Flip with what ross did with a girl doing. If a girl is way too close with one of her ex, the guy would feel so uncomfortable and want him to be away. I know i would. Idk y people hate Emily. She was completely right on her end (except when she says she will keep an eye on him every minute when she gets back).

If anyone should have ended up alone at the end.. it should have been Rachel. I remember, decades before calling someone spoiled, entitled, and loud a Karen, they were calling them a Rachel.

To me, if you replaced Cathy and Mona’s rankings this list would be pretty accurate. Mona was so good for Ross and she was so understanding (more than most people would be at Ross’s situation) & they fit together so well, if they met sooner, Ross would 100% be with her and not Rachel. Cathy, on the other hand, she was nice and seemed to like chandler but come on, she cheated on Joey to be with Chandler, then cheated on Chandler with a coworker. Everything else on the list was pretty spot on.
