YES YES YES

Don't forget Bonnie and Chloe

In the spirit of Ally McBeal, could it turn out there's been some huge DNA-test mistake, and somehow Joey is the father?

"Dan Silverstein":

Do you accept Euros?

Just to get it right, if it says 5-1 and I place a bet with 20, I'll get 100 back if the thing described happens?

If a 1 to 2 episode lasting Chandler lives at Joey's counts, I'll put 20? on it. (It's the Euro sign, I'm pretty sure it'll not been displayed properly.)

Where's 'Ben dies'?

Sure she does, it's worth me 10?. The question is, whether it's in the season finale or sooner and if anything else will happen to the baby.

I refuse thinking about it. ;)

Okay, here are 100 Bucks.

Not before 924, it's too unsure, I won't put money on it.

10? against.

This is easy money, 10? on both.

As the writers remembered him once, they might do twice. I'm in with 10?.

If that gets him away, 20?.

924.

Christoph, max win 763? out of 190?

120 actually. You should get the stake money back too.

Dan is incorrect about a useless bit of "Friends" trivia........60-1

You guys could've made a killing on that one. :D

Just go ahead and put down the mortgage of the house on that one, baby. :)

Maybe $100, but not over that. Having yet another wedding doesn't sound appealing.

If permanently, highly unlikely. They aren't the same people anymore.

A week's pay against this happening.

Mona is a pretty popular guest star, it's quite possible her and Ross may reunite.

Honestly, I'm surprised this isn't higher. Not a chance they'll do the cliche thing and pair them up like that.

It would be interesting, but not likely.

Maybe put a buck down on the longshot just in case. :)

I'm guessing these two options are going to cross Joey's plate going into THIS season's finale, and will force Rachel to make a decision about him.

God help us...

JamesDan Silverstein

You makin' book on this, Dan? :)

I would make this 2-1. CCA is itching to get pregnant, and a baby is the next progression for Chandler & Monica

I wouldn't give it that likely a chance. Maybe 10-1 on that.

This season. Else 2-1 next season, 15-1 it's premature

Dunno. I think it is looking a little less likely, maybe 4-1

So, you don't think Mona's gonna make the grade, huh? :)

If Joey and Rachael happen, I would go 8-1 on this.

Big longshot, in my opinion. I really don't think this is gonna happen, whatever the tabloids say...200-1, unless they do a flash-forwards about 40 years, then perhaps 5-1

I should think it's about time.

Rachel runs off with Gunther........300-1

Oh, I think Janice has to have a crack at Joey next: 3-1

Phoebe's dad returns: 5-1 Phoebe's mom returns: 15-1 Chandler's mom returns: 8-1

All six friends have an orgy: 15000-1 All six friends have an orgy, and Joey brings the jam: 20000-1

The actors change their minds and opt for a 10th season: 500-1

Why don't they mix it up a little? Although you're probably right, I am so tired of this pining -> courtship -> engagement -> marriage -> kids cycle that every single sitcom romance seems to be stuck on.

I'll take $5 on your 10-1!

I'll take $5 on your 4-1!

married.............................................6-1
reunite.................................................3-1
married.............................................9-1

Hay-ull no! I can't believe she's hung around this long. Like Ross remarked, and I'm paraphrasing here... "I sort of judge her for not dumping me sooner..."

married.............................................10-1

I don't even think the writers are hard-up enough to pair off all six.

married.............................................25-1
movie...................................................4-1
York....................................................5-1
York....................................................7-1
York..................................................7-1
York..................................................3-1
down.................................................14-1
returns.........................................................5-1
returns..........................................................6-1
returns...........................................................10-1
returns...........................................................15-1
returns...........................................................30-1
returns.............................................................40-1
returns.......................................................50-1

Now there's the major longshot... 10th season is definitely out.

Just how much more do you want them to mix it up???

pining->

      The divorce part was a new twist, I'll give you that.  Personally, I
think that if the writers decide to reunite Ross and Rachel, they are going
to reveal that through some technicality, the divorce was never finalized,
and Ross and Rachel already have been married for the past two years.
      This would also eliminate the sticky situation of having a major
character on a popular sitcom give birth out of wedlock.  It's not as taboo
as it used to be, but it's still a touchy topic for network TV.
      I hope I'm wrong, because I like Joey and Rachel as a couple.
