Joey is nominated for Days of Our Lives for a Sopie, the third most prestigious soap opera award. Rachel is going with Joey to the ceremony, since she is a big fan of soap operas and ceremonies.

Ross failed Morse because he was doing terrible in the exams, but Morse tells Ross that he is in love with him, and he cannot focus in the classes because of that.

Ross helps Morse with his grades, but discovers that Morse is lying when other student tries the same thing to raise his grades.

I really like this episode. All the stories are absolutely hilarious and well acted

The one with Joey's award is just great. I like the whole idea and how Rachel went with him. His reaction to not winning the award was too funny, well done by Matt LeBlanc

Ross's issues with his students was my favorite part in the episode. The idea itself was great and they also made a great job in selecting students. Both Kyle Howard and Vince Vieluf were absolutely brilliant. And the ending of it was a great idea as well

It was also funny to watch Monica trying to compete with Phoebe about having an exciting relationship

It's nice to see Joey (and of course Matt LeBlanc) being given a bit more to do here, and his storyline is the better one in another good episode from a mixed 7th series.

I liked the Ross storyline too - David Schwimmer on top form.

Matthew Perry appears very, very briefly, and again his personal issues away from the show are clear to see.

Sore Loser and Commitment Fears

[vivianla · 26 December 2020]

Joey is nominated for a Soapie.

Phoebe's comments get Monica to thinking how she needs to mourn what she will be losing once she is married. She won't have the new relationship feelings or a first kiss anymore.

Rachel tells Joey he may not win and his category is hard. She demonstrates how to act graciously when somebody wins.

At the Soapies, Rachel asks Joey if he is prepared and he demonstrates his reactions that he practiced. Another person wins and Joey forgets what he is supposed to do and shows his anger.

Monica sits with Chandler and asks if he has any the same sort of feelings. Chandler does not and he says he has anxiety when having a conversation with a new person or having sex for the first time. Now he is too with Monica now that she brought this up. Monica says they will buy their first house and have their first baby and he says he is sweating again.
