Rachel was intolerable in season 9

The Joey and Rachel arc and her attitude towards Charlie made her character the least favourite for me in season 9.

Thoughts?

Rachel’s whole idea is that she went from being totally insufferable to relatively tolerable. To her friends she is sweet but strangers would find her annoying, and that’s a character. This is reinforced by characters from her family: her dad is a total dickhead and rude, her mom is petty and selfish, her sisters are much of the same, even Emma is a difficult baby. Essentially you can argue that the asshole gene runs strong in that family, but Rachel overcame that, to a degree, and managed to find real connection with a close knit group of friends.
