History Headscratchers / Friends

** Probably a case of [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Real Life Writes The Plot]]. The beginning of the next episode (TO After Ross Says Rachel) was clearly filmed back when they were filming the wedding episode (evidenced by the length of Ross's hair). During the hiatus, the actress playing Emily got pregnant, and wanted to go back to England. The writers were forced to find a way to write Emily out, and a quicky divorce was the easiest way to do it. Methinks that if the actress hadn't gotten pregnant, Ross and Emily may have worked it out, at least for a while.

** My read on the ending of the game was that it was a combination of ego and panic. Keep in mind the whole reason the trivia game was happening in the first place was because Monica and Rachel wanted to prove they knew Chandler and Joey better than they knew them. The questions mostly consisted of incredibly obscure and nuanced trivia that could only be answered by someone who knew the person in question very well and Monica and Rachel just about aced it (the only time we ever saw them get anything wrong was a ballpark guess regarding how old Chandler was when he got his first kiss and Rachel blurting out the wrong answer to a question that Monica knew). With all that in mind, a question like "What is Chandler Bing's job?" should be ''incredibly'' easy to answer and yet the girls draw a blank (in fact, Chandler had an incredulous expression on his face as they fail to come up with the answer). So them blanking on what should be a "gimme" question plus the fact that they're now 10 seconds away from ''losing their apartment'' probably caused both Monica and Rachel to panic and not even consider asking for another question. So when you think about it, it's actually a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome; Monica and Rachel panicked and never once thought about trying another question with the time they had left.
