Friends: 10 Worst Episodes

10. The One With Phoebe's Ex-Partner (Season 3 Episode 14)

Phoebe reunites with her long lost singing partner - Leslie (Elizabeth Daily) who has achieved success through singing in tv commercials. After briefly reuniting, Leslie steals the idea for Smelly Cat and sells it to an advertising company once again leaving Phoebe behind. Chandler is dating a woman with a prosthetic leg and struggles to see past it while Ross goes with Rachel to a fashion seminar so that she doesn't invite love rival, Mark.

What sucks: The main problem with this story is the focus around Ross and Rachel's relationship. If you are a Friends fan who believes Ross and Rachel shouldn't be together, (gasp!) then this episode certainly backs up that argument. Ross comes across as whiny, spoilt and downright rude when he invites himself along to Rachel's fashion seminar and subsequently falls asleep due to boredom. Rachel let Ross in on something that means a lot to her and he acts like a colossal douche.

What doesn't suck: Joey, Chandler and Ginger's story line. Ginger has a prosthetic leg which forces Chandler to mature and see people for who they really are despite their differences. Ginger then dumps him because he has three nipples.
