Friends (TV Series) The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath (2002) User Reviews

The one they discover the baby's gender!

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 16 April 2009]

Joey still likes Rachel, but is trying to convince himself that she is only his friend. He tries to talk about the subject with Chandler and Monica, but he doesn't feel comfortable enough, only saying random things. Monica and Chandler think that Joey is liking Phoebe, and Monica goes to talk to Phoebe about Joey, and this makes Phoebe goes to talk to Joey. Phoebe discovers that the person Joeys likes is in fact Rachel.

Monica tries to convince Chandler that baths are relaxing, spite of the fact that he is not a big fan. She prepares an amazing bath for him and Chandler likes it so much that he tries to do one for him alone in other time.

Rachel and Ross don't agree with the same names for their baby. They still don't know the baby's gender, but Ross thinks that Rachel knows and calls the doctor to let him know. Ross tells Rachel that the baby is a girl, but Rachel in fact wasn't aware of it.

The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 3 September 2011]

The part where Chandler takes the bath is very funny. Not only because he looks very cute surrounded by all the bubbles, but also the scene where everyone gets into their bathroom and ends up to see a part of Chandler they didn't really want to see

The whole story with Joey was funny as well. I like the whole dialogue about "rules" and London. And how Monica and Chandler were figuring out what he meant. Although it made me sad he didn't mean Phoebe. I always wanted those two to hook up

And we got some laughs from Ross and Rachel name choosing. And we also know now that they will have a girl!

Aww, poor Joey

[studioAT · 5/10 · 29 July 2017]

The ongoing 'Joey loves Rachel' story is once again the highlight of an episode, with Matt Le Blanc on top form as Joey. His internal turmoil is so beautifully played.

I don't like what the writers have done to the character of Chandler in recent episodes. The whole story line dedicated to him being obsessed with baths wasn't that funny, and beneath the show.

I liked the Ross and Rachel scenes though, and Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer play the story out so perfectly, that we do wish them well as an audience.

Another good episode ironically apart from the title story.

Bath, Gender, Crush

[vivianla · 29 December 2020]

Chandler learns about taking baths from Monica and cannot believe how relaxing it is. Monica puts in oils and salts.

Joey has a crush on Rachel and talks to himself to try to get out of it. He eats Frosted Flake cereal.

Rachel and Ross go to the doctor's together and Rachel asks which baby is the ugliest. Ross says they are all beautiful they are babies. They agree on one that stares scarily.

Monica and Chandler think Joey likes Phoebe and Mon tells Phoebe he does. Phoebe goes to talk to Joey and finds out he likes Rachel.

Later the gang all end up in the washroom while Chandler is bathing. Joey tells him to rearrange his bubbles. Rachel announces that it is a girl. They do a group hug and Chandler says I'll catch you later.
