Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, I was laughing the whole way through, I especially the role swapping with Joey and Chandler and Ross loserness but the fat Monica really got on my nerves. I loved Phobe's bitchy role as a stockbroker and Ross's kar-a-te I thought that was ded funny, as for the writing I think it fits in well with my theory that the eps get more funny further into the season, ps was 623 shown last night in the us?

Never apologise for being Welsh, they are only Jealous.

Maybe mildly insulting to fat or overweight people.... Surely being overweight, fat or obese doesn't nescessarily mean that you're a loser in love, or childish and irritating.

Loose the weight, though, and you become suave and sophisticated.

Is that the message Friends was trying to get across? Maybe not intentionally, but they're certainly doing what most (if not all) of the media do - show thin people as having more fun (and sex).

I doubt that was the case, since the other five characters were childish and definately losers in love.

Wasn't the point of the episode to show that Chandler would always love Monica--that, fat or skinny, Monica was the same person?

I guess I'm going to be politically incorrect, but I think skinny people DO have more sex (fun is more subjective). Since I've been on both ends of the scale, I have firsthand experience, at least.

Lewis.

But in the end, as far as from what I saw, Monica was gettin plenty of sex with Chandler...

I really fo hate Monica now, she was slightly more funny in his ep because she's fat and l liked it when she wouldn't give chandler her kit-kat! but shew still got onmy nerves. I thoight Lisa Kudrow's cahracter switch was fantastic and it showed what a good actress she really is.

I hated that whole episode. Maybe it would of been better if we had individual stories and see how the other characters had got involved with them.

Loved the Ross and Carol thing though!

where are you from? I saw TOW that could have been a couple of months ago, and I think the UK saw it awhile ago too. maybe i'm wrong, but I was just wondering. -Kat

Monica:"Fine! Judge all you want to but (to Ross) married a lesbian, (to Rachel) left a man at the altar, (to Phoebe) fell in love with a gay ice dancer, (to Joey) threw a girl's wooden leg into the fire, (to Chandler) live in a box."
