All I know is that it was in the way of her cleavage.

That just had to torture us w/ Janice one more time - thankfully Chandler's reactions to the situation were pretty good.

Joey and Phoebe were cracking me up and Ross had his moments, too. "...and he can touch anything he wants."

Rachel did look smokin' in the little skirt with her beat-me boots.

As for the episode, not great. I had it on in the background, and didn't really like it. I honestly won't miss it when it is gone.

Me neither - it's time is past. The present/future will continue to be about Scrubs.

I thought it was weak and generally a let down. I had a couple of chuckles but I really hope that they kick it up a notch next week.

Pretty funny when he slides another one of his treasures in his bag at the end "I'm sure it will be alright".

Should we have a poll?

Ross goes with Rachel Paris
Rachel ends up not going to Paris
Rachel goes to Paris and Ross stays
Twikoff goes with Rachel to Paris

Or is the answer "out there" and everyone knows but me?

Awesome episode.

The Estelle-calling-Joey-from-beyond was set up really well. Loved Phoebe's impression, and Joey's desire to NOT have Estelle come to his house.

Chandler's reaction to hearing "Oh My God" was classic. He just looked at Monica and said "Sure." Cracked me up.

And once again we get classic Ross making situations worse while trying to do the right thing. Pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

Just a great episode all around.

I agree with Draven. Although I won't miss it when it's gone but this episode had some really good laughs in it.

Estelle parts were funny. Joey's face at the end was classic Joey but still had me rolling.

Chandler's response to Monica telling her that they're buying the house next door was great. WHYYYY!!!. He was all red in the face.

Phoebe did a great Estelle

It was painfully obvious who was looking at the house well before Janice showed up, but it was nice to bring her back one last time.

I feel the same way. I'm fine with it being gone, I'm just enjoying the last season.

I was totally annoyed by this episode. It's amazing how the writers want to simply ignore Emma now. I mean, Rachel is about to move across the world, and Ross seems completely unaffected by the fact that he will see his daughter...what...once or twice a year at the most? They mention it once in passing as if to get it out of the way and then focus completely on how sad it is that Ross will never see Rachel again. Pathetic.

I found it disturbing that Ross was upset about Rachel going off to Paris, but the fact that she'd be toting off his daughter didn't seem to bother him at all.

Then again, this show has never been about demonstrating model parenting.

Whoops, Boot beat me to it. That's what I get for wandering off whilst composing my message.

Seriously, I'd rather be raised by George and Lucille Bluth than by Ross Gellar and Rachel Green.

No, you missed it because you don't have a TiVo.

I thought last night's episode was one of the better one's this season. Not any laugh-out-loud moments, but I had several chuckles - much more than any other episodes from this season.
