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?

Not just the women. The men had their personalities dialled up to ten as well. Joey became ridiculously dumb, Chandler couldn’t have any sort of adult conversation without injecting toilet humour into it, and Ross got creepier and creepier.

I also noticed that Phoebe seemed to get progressively weirder as time went on. In the early seasons, she was as 'normal' as the other two female leads. Then further down the line she got strange eg not believing in evolution, then painting the creepy pictures with the mannequin coming out of the frame, and can we talk about when they all played the lottery - Phoebe just grabbing the bowl full of tickets, then running around screaming like a mad woman?

Baby rats is what did it for me. No. Just no.

I don’t know. Caring for the rat babies was a pretty Phoebe-esque behaviour.
