I don't like the Rachel & Joey story
Did anybody?
I just feel like the writers got lazy around starting around season 8
Way before that, IMO. Friends had lost its steam by s 4, IMO. As soon as they got Monica and Chandler together, that was it for me.

raises hand awkwardly I liked it.
I have spoken to someone in real life, and she liked it as well (and said they were better than Ross and Rachel), but I understand that the majority of fans hated it, and if the cast hated it, then fair enough. It's understandable they ended it if it was something the cast didn't want to do. -

I did too. It was actually the only storyline I did like in the final seasons. I always thought LeBlanc had more chemistry with Cox, but they put her with Miss Chanandler Bong. But Joey was very sweet in his feelings for Rachel.

An overwhelming majority didn't like the plot-line, the actors included.
That said I did like Joey falling for Rachel cause it felt natural and something Joey could do, where as Rachel falling for Joey felt out of place. -

Yeah. You're not alone. Most people didn't like that pairing. Probably the biggest writing pitfall the show saw during it's illustrious run. As luck would have it though, most of the rest of the show was above board amazing, so most people forgive I think.
It was a sign that the writers were running out of ideas. They ended the show the next year (I think) and that was the right move. They wrapped it up before it got bad, which is something I wish a lot of other shows would have done. Hard to watch a great show go bad. -
