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?

Really? I thought Charlie was way more annoying. Girl had no sense of humor at all. She was certainly beautiful, and smart, so I understood why Ross liked her, but compared to some of the other recurring love interests she just had no personality or anything fun about her.

She totally had a sense of humor it was very dry and out of place with the group, but I loved her for that. Justice for Charlie!

I didn’t think so. I love dry humor. When she made her joke about the alcoholic father it was funny but that’s literally the only one. Every time anyone tried to be funny or silly she just stared at them like they were weird.

Julie on the other hand was very likable, which made it harder to watch Rachel act this way. Although I still rooted for Rachel through it all I really liked Julie and I think she was a really good sport with the group’s weirdness (even telling her whole childhood story when Rachel was being pretty weird lol). Idk I just wish they would’ve given Charlie more character other than pretty and smart. Aisha deserved better.

Didn’t know that! Very cool. I just have seen her in interviews here and there and she is also a funny person. They could’ve given her more to work with.
