The television show Friends has touched the hearts of people everywhere, and has successfully spanned years and generations to remain completely relevant in today's society. It's one of those shows that anyone can enjoy at any age because it is just so easy to relate to! More than that, it is a show that effectively checks every box: it's hilarious, sometimes a little emotional, and makes people feel good while they watch it! And what would the show be without its title cast of friends, especially the two friends who we spent the entire series consistently rooting for - Ross and Rachel!
What began as a harmless childhood crush quickly developed into a full-fledged romance! Ross and Rachel always seemed just simply destined to be together, even if they did have their ups and downs. Throughout the series we watched as they got together, and then broke up, and then got together again, only to break up once more! They gave us some of the most emotional and heartfelt episodes, not to mention the greatest season finale ever!
This quiz is meant to find out just who exactly is an expert among us on everything that has to do with Ross and Rachel! Anyone who thinks they are should definitely take the quiz and find out for sure once and for all!
What happened to Ross when he first tried to admit his feelings to Rachel in the blackout?
In the episode, “The One with the Blackout,” all of New York City loses power and leaves everyone in complete and total darkness. Chandler gets locked inside a bank with a particularly beautiful celebrity, so he didn’t have too bad of a time. Meanwhile, the rest of his friends were in Monica’s apartment, looking for ways to pass the time. At one point, Ross and Rachel slipped away from the others and stepped out onto the fire escape to have a private discussion. During this talk, Ross planned on finally admitting his true feelings for Rachel, but something interrupted them before he could finally tell her he loved her.
What is the name of Ross and Rachel’s daughter?
In the first season of Friends, Ross becomes a father for the very first time when his ex-wife, Carol, gives birth to their son Ben. It was an incredible moment for all involved, especially Ross who was overjoyed at becoming a father. Since this happened, Ross has gone on to prove to everyone that he can be quite the devoted dad, as we see him interact with his son Ben throughout the years. In quite a spectacular turn of events, Ross and Rachel end up having a baby together too much later in the season! Rachel gives birth to a beautiful baby girl! But what is her name?
What big mistake did Ross make at his wedding to Emily?
Poor Emily truly never had a chance of a life with Ross so long as Rachel was around. There was simply no coming in between those two, and yet Emily still found herself falling in love with Ross and planning an impromptu wedding with him! While we can’t say it was the smartest decision Ross has ever made, there was certainly no denying their feelings for each other, particularly as the wedding drew nearer and nearer. Any misgivings about marrying himself away to Emily seemed to be pushed to the back of Ross’ mind and he happily welcomed the day of his nuptials. All was going well. That is, until Rachel showed up, inadvertently causing Ross to make one rather big mistake during his wedding.
Which one of Ross’ girlfriends did Rachel convince to shave her head?
There are some things we just can’t seem to help but do for love. In Rachel’s case, the same can certainly be said for jealousy, because that’s another powerful emotion that can make us do some crazy things! During a lighthearted beach trip with her friends, Rachel was enjoying spending some quality time with her ex-boyfriend, Ross. That is, until his ex-girlfriend showed up and stole him away from her once again. Feeling rather hurt, Rachel decided the only way to vent those feelings was to somehow sabotage the relationship. To be fair, this girl basically presented Rachel with the opportunity! She told Rachel how much she missed having a completely bald head, and Rachel, ever the supportive friend, convinced her to shave it all off once again much to Ross' dismay!
What is Ross’ famous excuse for his actions that led to him and Rachel breaking up?
There are some famous one-liners that have come from our favorite television shows. In the case of Friends, there are plenty to choose from! Joey has his iconic “How you doin’?”, Chandler likes to start most sentences with a sarcastic, “Could I be?” and Monica enjoys exclaiming “I know!” quite often. While all the friends seem to have their own catchphrase of sorts, Ross is perhaps most well-known for his often emotionally charged exclamation of this phrase, which also happens to be his excuse for why he got involved with another woman one night, thus leading to him and Rachel officially breaking up. It’s not the most sound argument but he’s stuck with it over ten seasons so he must definitely believe in its validity.
What is the name of Rachel’s co-worker who made Ross extremely jealous while they were dating?
This character was first introduced in season 3 after he overheard Rachel was in need of a job and offered her a position at Bloomingdale’s. Of course, Rachel happily accepted the job because it was in fashion, which was basically her dream job! However, not everyone was so joyous to hear she had been offered a position there. Ross was wary of this man who happened to randomly offer his girlfriend a job, and because of this, Ross would go on to spend many episodes suspicious of Rachel’s new handsome co-worker. We don’t see this character again until much later in season 10 when he offers Rachel yet another job – this time in Paris!
What chore did Ross teach Rachel how to do when she first moved in with Monica?
Rachel comes from a rather wealthy family and as such, she wasn’t exactly raised doing things on her own. She had maids and servants for all of that. So, when she first moved in with Monica and began fending for herself in New York, she found out there was quite a lot about being an adult that she really just didn’t know how to do! Not only was she now responsible for paying her own bills, meaning she had to find a job and fast, she was also responsible for doing her own chores. This was quite the huge change for Rachel, but luckily for her Ross was available to help teach her how to do one chore in particular!
Which girlfriend unexpectedly came to New York with Ross and prevented Rachel from admitting her feelings for him?
There was a lot of back-and-forth between Ross and Rachel in the early seasons of Friends. First Ross was helplessly pining after the newly single and newly independent Rachel, who was only just beginning to learn how to be his friend. Then, Rachel eventually came to realize her own feelings for Ross and hurried to meet him at the airport where he was flying back after a paleontology-related trip. There, she planned on meeting him at the gate and professing her love for him! Unfortunately for her, she had no way of foreseeing that Ross would get off the plane with another woman completely who he had struck up a relationship with during his trip. Poor Rachel!
In which episode do Ross and Rachel share their first kiss?
Throughout all the confusing back-and-forth between Ross and Rachel, there have been many fantastic moments, including all of their firsts. As it just so happens, we were able to witness one of the biggest firsts for this couple – their very first kiss! It was a long time coming but it eventually happened in season two. The only problem was that Ross was still very much dating his current girlfriend, Julie. But he just couldn’t help it! He had just learned of Rachel’s feelings for him, something he had been wanting to hear for years since he first started loving her. What’s a guy to do?
What compelled Ross to officially end things with Emily rather than fix their marriage?
Like we have said before, there was a lot working against Ross and Emily’s relationship, particularly that he still had some unresolved feelings towards Rachel. However, despite all their problems and despite the fact that Ross made the big mistake of saying Rachel’s name at the wedding, Emily was willing to forgive all of this so long as Ross did one thing for her. While this was definitely what Ross had been hoping for, it was Emily’s request that made him stop and truly think about what was best for him. In the end, he knew it just wasn’t going to work out with Emily, and the two went ahead with their divorce.
What song did Ross request on the radio to try and win back Rachel?
After making another rather big mistake, this time with Rachel, Ross found himself suddenly without the love of his life. It was a pretty sad episode for us to watch during season three, because we had been waiting for these two to get together and then suddenly they weren’t anymore! Ross did his best though, and one night he requested a song on the radio to try and convince Rachel to get back together with him. It was actually their song, which he thought would move Rachel enough to forgive him. However, even the radio DJ wanted nothing to do with Ross and cut the song short after Rachel called in and revealed just what Ross had done.
What did Rachel see in a home movie that compelled her to kiss Ross?
We already know that Ross and Rachel shared their first kiss in the episode when he found out she had feelings for him. However, they did not begin dating after this. That wouldn’t happen until a few episodes later, after the friends all sat down to watch an old prom video Monica’s parents sent over. The video showed Monica and Rachel getting ready to go to their senior prom, with brief clips of Ross who had just recently returned home from college. While seemingly just an average home movie, there was something Rachel saw that compelled to go and kiss Ross. Thus, their relationship began!
Which one of Rachel’s sisters briefly dated Ross?
We don’t see much of any of the character’s siblings on the show, beyond Ross and Monica Geller, that is. However, in a few select episodes we do get to meet Rachel’s sisters. They aren’t exactly the nicest girls around. In fact, they shine a light on who Rachel could have become, had she not stopped taking money from her parents and become an independent woman! Despite their seeming selfishness, one of the sisters actually catches Ross’ eye, and the two begin dating, much to Rachel’s dismay. However, the relationship is thankfully over just about as quickly as it began!
What song did Ross encourage Rachel to sing at Barry and Mindy’s wedding?
Barry was the man that Rachel left at the altar in the very first episode, which of course explains why she showed up to Central Perk wearing a wedding dress. As it turned out, Barry just wasn’t the man for her. But, as it also turned out, he was the man for Rachel’s best friend, Mindy. In the third season of the show, we find out that Barry and Mindy are getting married, and Rachel is not only invited to the wedding but is asked to be a bridesmaid. At the ceremony, she embarrasses herself as she walks down the aisle with her dress tucked into her underwear, but Ross encourages her to redeem herself by singing a song in front of everyone that she was too embarrassed to sing in front of an audience as a child.
In “The One with the Tiny T-Shirt”, what does Ross' tiny t-shirt say that he demands Rachel return to him?
After their emotional breakup, Rachel decides she needs to purge her bedroom of anything and everything that reminds her of Ross. She ends up with a cardboard box filled with his possessions which she gives back to him, much to his dismay. At first Ross is hurt that she wants to forget him so quickly. But then he becomes angry and accuses her of keeping some of his things, like his favorite tee-shirt. Although the shirt is much too small for him, Ross insists she give it back anyway and dons it in front of her to show that is does in fact…still not fit him. Oh well! At least he got it back.
What did Ross and Rachel do in Las Vegas that surprised all their friends?
Las Vegas proved to be quite the eventful trip, particularly for Ross and Rachel. After a prank-war aboard an airplane which resulted in Rachel wearing a marker mustache she just couldn’t get rid of, the two spend an entire evening drinking in their hotel room. This leads to them stumbling their way through the casino, Ross now donning cat whiskers on his own face, as they happily enjoy all that Las Vegas has to offer. However, the next morning their friends inform them that they actually did more than just draw on each other’s faces last night, but what did they do that was so surprising to their friends?
What country did Rachel fly to after Ross left her on an airplane to go meet Emily instead?
During Ross’ wedding to Emily, he made a rather big mistake – he called her Rachel. That isn’t quite so easily forgiven, and it makes sense why Emily ran away from the wedding reception, leaving Ross alone with all of their confused guests. However, later as he and Rachel plan to take the honeymoon vacation together, Emily unexpectedly shows up at the airport, ready to try and make things work with Ross. This is great for Ross but not so great for Rachel, who ends up on an airplane alone and, subsequently, takes Ross and Emily’s honeymoon vacation alone, too! But where did she go?
When Ross wrote a list comparing Julie and Rachel’s pros and cons, what was his only con for Julie?
When Ross found himself suddenly stuck between choosing to be with either Julie or Rachel, he had no one else to turn to but his best friends for advice, and Joey and Chandler were more than happy to help. They decided Ross should come up with a pros and cons list for both girls – that way he could look at it and decide who would be best for him. Under Rachel’s cons, he wrote that she was spoiled, ditzy, and could be too into her looks. Also, she was “just a waitress” so they had nothing in common, like him and Julie who were both paleontologists. But in the end, he could only come up with one con for Julie.
Where was Rachel heading in the very last episode before she got off the plane to see Ross?
The final episode of Friends was pretty emotional, and not just because it meant the end of the series. There was a lot going on with the titular cast of friends that has us all holding our breath, and nowhere was there more drama than with Ross and Rachel. After proclaiming his love for her at the airport, Ross had to stand back and watch Rachel board her plane as she left him to go somewhere far away. Thankfully, in the final moments of the episode, Rachel realized her feelings for Ross and quickly got off the plane to surprise him at his apartment in a spectacular romantic gesture!
In what grade has Ross admitted his crush on Rachel first began?
It is definitely no secret that Ross has had quite the long-standing crush on Rachel. Ever since the very first episode of the show, we have watched as Ross has struggled with his feelings for her, going from simply crushing to finally being with her, and then in quite a sad twist of turns, not being with her before finally reuniting in the very last episode. However, this crush actually started long before the show began. In fact, Ross has previously admitted his crush on Rachel first started while the two were in school, but in what grade did Ross reveal his crush first began?
What rumor did Ross and his high school friend start about Rachel while they were teenagers?
In the episode, “The One with the Rumor,” it is revealed that Ross was part of an “I Hate Rachel” club with his friend Will Colbert during high school. Or, as Will liked to remind him and everyone else at the Thanksgiving table, Ross was actually a co-founder of the club. However, when Rachel became upset at this news, Ross admitted that he joined the club because he didn’t know what to do with his feelings for Rachel and really, it was the “I Love Rachel” club. Whatever the club really was, there was no denying the effect it had on Rachel’s social life, particularly after Will revealed the rumor he and Ross started about Rachel during school!
What rumor did Rachel start about Ross in high school that turned out to be true?
After hearing the rumor that Will and Ross started about her in school, Rachel was pretty unhappy and rather hurt. It wasn’t a very flattering rumor for them to make up and it didn’t make her look very good to her peers. She didn’t even realize how much of an effect it had had on her social life until she really reflected on those high school years and started connecting a few dots! However unhappy she was, Monica gently reminded Rachel that she was overreacting, particularly since she had also started a rumor about Ross. As it turned out, that rumor was actually true!
What is Ross’ ultimate fantasy that Rachel played out for him in season 3?
Ross is a many of simple pleasures. He delights in collecting fossils, talking about fossils, and just about everything else that has to do with fossils. There isn’t typically much known about any of Ross’ other interest, but as Rachel learned once the two became dating, there was one thing Ross was particularly fond of. This fantasy had always remained just that – a fantasy. That is, until Rachel came along and surprisingly agreed to help make her boyfriend’s fantasy come true. It was all going really well too, until Ross began inexplicably imaging his mother in Rachel’s place. That was definitely the end of that fantasy.
What is the name of the intern Rachel briefly dated?
While she was working at Ralph Lauren, Rachel ended up climbing high enough on the corporate ladder to find herself in need of an assistant! This was quite the turning point for her, considering her humble beginnings in the dressing department at Bloomingdale’s! However, Rachel didn’t exactly consider who would be most qualified when she picked her assistant. Quite the contrary. She picked a rather unqualified 24-year-old, simply because he was a handsome man with a dashing smile. This man would go on to briefly be her boyfriend before Rachel turned 30 and realized she needed to be dating someone a bit more mature.
What did Ross draw on Rachel during their flight to Las Vegas?
In the final episode of the fifth season of Friends, the characters all find themselves traveling to Las Vega to see their friend Joey, who had just moved there to pursue acting. However, the movie he was in had flopped and now he was working at a casino. Nevertheless, his friends all showed up to support him, including Ross and Rachel who had to take a later flight together. During this flight, the two decided it would be the perfect time to mess with each other and began embarrassing the other person as much as possible. However, the real embarrassment came when Rachel fell asleep, and Ross put his permanent marker to work!
How many pages was Rachel’s emotional letter to Ross?
After convincing his girlfriend, Bonnie, to shave her head, Rachel was forced to admit her feelings to Ross who then found himself in quite the difficult position – should he continue his relationship with Bonnie or get back together with Rachel? In an effort to get her feelings across and perhaps help him come to terms with her thought process, Rachel wrote Ross a rather lengthy emotional letter which she wanted him to read and agree to before they got back together. However, it proved a little too long and he fell asleep while reading it, only to later find out he had missed a pretty crucial part of the letter. That is, that he was to blame for their breakup. Suffice it to say, they did not end up back together this time.
At which friend’s wedding did everyone discover that Rachel is pregnant?
As it turns out, Rachel is pretty good at keeping secrets. Although usually regarded as the gossip of the group, she was able to keep her lips sealed about a pretty big secret, although that could be because it happened to be about her. Indeed, during one wedding episode, Rachel was able to make it through the entire ceremony without letting it slip that she had taken a pregnancy test that came back positive. However, the secret wouldn’t last long, especially when Phoebe found the test and demanded to know whose it was. After Rachel admitted it was hers, the secret quickly became, “Who is the father?”
Why didn’t Ross like their baby’s nanny, Sandy?
After the birth of their daughter Emma, Ross and Rachel found themselves in need of a nanny so they could both return to their jobs. It wouldn’t be easy, simply handing their baby girl over to some stranger, so these two knew they had to find the best candidate possible for the job! After an extensive interviewing process, they met with one nanny named Sandy who Rachel absolutely loved! However, Ross wasn’t so sure about Sandy and didn’t immediately agree to let Sandy be their nanny. It was only after Rachel’s pleading that he finally relented, though he was still wary about the new nanny. But why?
Which character happened to be delivering their baby the same night as Rachel and ended up in the same room as her?
The night that Rachel went into labor didn’t exactly go as planned – at least not right away. For Rachel, it seemed that everyone else in the city was giving birth before her and her baby was taking the longest! Time and time again, expectant couples would enter her hospital room and be rushed off to the delivery room long before Rachel was even close to being dilated enough. One such character who entered the room was a huge surprise for both Rachel and Ross, who never thought they would see that character ever again. But to be fair, that character definitely had a habit of just popping up when people least expected it!
Why did Rachel move out of Ross’ apartment and move back in with Joey?
After the birth of their beautiful baby girl, Rachel and Ross lived together to help take care of Emma. It was a team effort that seemed to work pretty well. After all, they were able to co-exist fairly happily together and did a great job of being collaborative parents together. That is, until something happened that made Rachel move out entirely and move back in with her friend, Joey. But what was it that could have made her so unhappy living with Ross to compel her to move across the street and back into her old apartment with Joey again?
What reason did Rachel give for not giving Ross a big good-bye speech before she left for Paris?
In one of the most emotional episodes in series, the friends find themselves forced to say goodbye to Rachel as she prepares to depart for Paris for a new job. It was going to be quite the huge move. After all, she would no longer be living in the same city, state, country, or continent as her best friends! As she emotionally met with each of her friends to give them a special goodbye speech, Ross patiently waited for his. However, it never came and he felt personally insulted by this. When he confronted Rachel, she admitted there was a reason as to why she had left him out.
Who tells Ross that Rachel is his lobster?
When Ross is agonizing over whether he’ll ever finally get together Rachel, this friend calmly tells him to stop worrying; they’re meant to be together, so it’ll happen. Their reasoning was simple: Rachel is Ross’ lobster. For anyone who might not understand, this character happily explains that lobsters fall in love and mate for life: “You can actually see old lobster couples walking around their tank and holding claws!” In fact, this character would prove to be right as this episode ends with Ross and Rachel sharing a kiss. Delighting in this, the character happily exclaimed, “See? He’s her lobster!”
Who did Ross call when Rachel first told him she was pregnant?
After everyone else found out who the father of Rachel’s baby was, she realized there was no more putting it off. She had to finally tell him about the baby, too. She went over to Ross’ apartment and calmly explained that their special night together just a few months before had resulted in a pregnancy. To say Ross was stunned when he found out he was going to be a father again is a bit of an understatement. He stayed completely still and silent for awhile. That is, until he suddenly jumped back to life and ended up calling someone. But who did he call?
What item of clothing hinted at who the father of Rachel’s baby was?
Rachel’s pregnancy was a pretty big deal, but mostly because she wasn’t revealing who the father was! Her friends were naturally very curious, and when they were given one clue, they set out to find out for themselves! This clue was that the father had been wearing one specific piece of clothing the night he and Rachel got together. This ultimately led them to assuming Rachel’s ex-boyfriend and assistant, Tag, was the father because he owned this piece of clothing. However, it turned out Tag was actually wearing his version whereas the friends were in possession of the father’s, so that meant it wasn’t him! They later found out the clothing actually belonged to Ross!
What did Rachel shout at Ross after they broke up for a second time?
After thinking that Ross had read her rather long and unnecessary emotional letter, Rachel was happy to welcome him back into her life. The two spent one blissful night together until, while lying in bed, they began discussing the letter. As Rachel began going over some of the more specific details, Ross realized he had missed one crucial part: Rachel had written that he was to blame for them breaking up in the first place, and he had unknowingly agreed this was true. After shouting that they were “on a break!”, Ross ran out of Rachel’s room with her following close behind, shouting right back at him. But what did she say?
