To Rachel, the list doesn’t just represent her faults, it represents uncertainty on Ross’s behalf. No one in a relationship wants to feel unstable in their partners decision, and Rachel’s reaction possibly demonstrates the fear she felt at entering a relationship with a man who didn’t feel the same way about her as she did him, poor her 💔

[Rantheesy]

This is a place where ross was more in the wrong than rachel

[trinaq]

I'm only realising that in "Along came Polly", Ben Stiller's character also wrote a list about whether he wants to be with Jennifer Aniston or Debra Messing, and Jennifer also finds the list.

As you get older, you understand rachael more...

[anirou.mercury]

Never make a list. 😢
Except for supermarket

[Noel-noah]

Ross is one of the most problematic, pathetic and worst character in the history of fiction, Ross is a perfect example of a self-proclaimed “nice guy”. Incredibly self-absorbed, relentlessly disrespectful to others, and insistent that he must always get his own way

@ He is not a good person: lets' take Bonnie first. Remember how infatuated he was with her? That was, until she shaved her head. His parents prized him and he thought it was fun to be mean with his own sister. He proposed to Emily keeping Rachel in mind. He attempted to get Rachel to stay back and miss a good job opportunity at Paris, convinced her with the promise (for the sake of)their ‘romance’.

@ He's just way too Clingy.: And doesn't have a life of his own apparently. Carol made it clear that she was in love with SUSAN. BUT NOT IN ROSS LAND! He just kept competing with Susan even when Carol needed help the most, resulting in a useless, annoying and TOTALLY avoidable (but somehow humourous happenings), like Ben's birth. Speaking of whom…
He tries way too hard: he takes away Ben's Barbie doll in an attempt to make him 'not girly'. How pathetic! When Rachel was going to deliever the news of being pregnant with Emma, Ross thought she was going to confess her 'love' for him. How delusional can one get? Oh and he deserved that hit from Julie because he wasn't planning on telling her about his kiss with Rachel. He intended to keep it a secret so as to upkeep his only smooth relationship.

He tried to sabotage Rachel and guilt her: done that on too many occassions… too much to remember.
He totally over reacted about Monica having a relationship with Richard when he himself did something bad as a MINOR with his 50 y/o school librarian.
Ross. Is. Creepy.
Let's not forget the I HATE RACHEL CLUB: Just cause the loser couldn't get her to love him.

The list is endless he's the worst one

[trinaq]

I felt bad for both Ross and Rachel in this scenario. Ross should have destroyed the list once he realised that Rachel was the one he wanted to be with, and Rachel's line of "I never would have made a list" was a huge gut punch. 😢💔

[dylancooper]

It was summer … and it was hot. Rachel was there. A lonely gray couch. “Oh look!” cried Ned, and then the kingdom was his forever. The end.

[Lovingly.Miscellaneous.-qflf]

Ross’s list: Ditsy, too into her looks, etc.
Joey’s list: She made me switch to light mayo.
Shows the difference between characters, huh? Really puts it into perspective.

[alejandropietroccini]

Ross' haters having a field day with this one 😂

[suzannec]

To be fair I honestly don’t think Ross meant harm but he was actually careless when he made the list, he was at the boy’s apartment where Rachel could walk in and she did, he wasn’t very spastic as to what he meant “ just a waitress “ he didn’t add our jobs are different, he the didn’t say much about the Chubby ankles . Rachel was in a situation before Ross where men controlled her, and in my opinion she thought Ross was different.

[bingbonglinglong]

my girlfriend just made a list about me... and i've been watching this clip since then. idk how to feel.

[ToCam-flry]

@BryceEdwardBrown No, they weren't, and they ended up together. it's a sitcom, and it was written just for comedy, genius.

[Llr-logs]

She was never suppose to see that list, the boys should have destroyed it, it is not funny to make fun of people's iinsecurities man

[pd]

Rachel didn't even start dating ross here yet and trusted him the most in the world..huh

[joshfactor]

no, you would just write an 18-page essay that blames him for everything

[DateMike]

I like and am okay with this episode even though it's universally panned.
It's storyline continuity and development.
What's the problem 🤷‍♂️?
RIP Matthew Perry 😢💔🕊️🌹🙏🏼.

[BryceEdwardBrown]

Ross and Rachel were doomed from the start

[brettteply]

The list had some of the truth about Rachel but she didn’t wanna hear it

[Pancakelover]

Oh no not this one it was pretty hard to watch the boys tried to hide it but she found it either way the just a waitress just made me cry and felt bad for both of them out the same time
