TV BREAKDOWN THURSDAY-Rachel's Love Interests: Crushes

Alright so I recently mentioned that all of the Friends kind of have their own common behaviors when it comes to their love interests.

Rachel in particular get's very girlish crushes on the guys she's interested in and it goes unrequited for a while- but then eventually they end up falling in love with Rachel and dating her for at least a little bit.

So in Season 1- Rachel dates Paolo. Right away she just goes for it with him and they end up together until he tries to cheat on her with Phoebe. Rachel also sleeps with Barry- who cheated on her with her best friend Mindy and she leaves him at the alter not because of the cheating... but because she was bored by Barry and knew that she couldn't spend the rest of her life with him. He is engaged to Mindy when Barry sleeps with Rachel.

Season 2- Rachel finds out that Ross was in love with her the whole time he's known her... and she begins to have feelings for him... and quickly finds out that he's moved on with another scientist he reconnects with in China. They end up dating by the end of the season- but we get some unrequited love from Rachel and she complains about Ross's girlfriend Julie a lot before she finally gets together with ross.

Season 3-Rachel dates and breaks up with Ross. Who cheats on her- even if they were "on a break" Ross knew what he did was wrong.

Season 4- We get a bit of a crush here and a thing with ross. First off Rachel gets a crush on a man named Joshua who she shops for at Bloomingdale's just as she was about to quit for hating her job there. Rachel doesn't think Joshua even notices her at first- but when she finally tells Joshua she has a crush on him... he admits the only reason why he kept going back to Bloomingdale's was for Rachel. Awww.

They eventually break up because Rachel gets jealous of Ross's speedy engagement to Emily and suggests she and Joshua get married... when Joshua's divorce isn't even final and they haven't even said I love you to each other. In the finale- she realizes that she isn't over Ross and goes to London to tell Ross she loves him right before he gets married.

Season 5- Rachel eventually tells Ross she loves him... but then laughs it off thinking it sounds ridiculous when she says it out loud.

Then she has a little crush on Danny- a man that was on some sort of expedition or something and looks like a Yeti- but then shaves and goes on a date with Rachel... but then I guess she gets insecure because he's talking to other girls or something and she pretends to be doing other more interesting things instead of just going out with him again. She does eventually go out on another date with him... but he has a creepy relationship with his sister that Rachel just can't handle.

And then somehow Rachel and Ross get married in the finale of this season.

Season 6- Rachel divorces Ross... and it's revealed that she was the one that suggested getting married in the first place because she thought it would be funny.

Season 7- Rachel gets back together with Ross briefly before Monica and Chandler's engagement party. And then she hires a really cute assistant that she ends up getting a crush on... who ends up being attracted to Phoebe- he then gets back together with his girlfriend from Ohio... and then he breaks up with her and finds out Rachel likes him and they get together.

Season 8- Rachel has Ross's baby and dating is kind of put on hold for her... but Joey gets a crush on her. There are also a bunch of moments where she and Ross are kind of a couple... so I guess Ross is sort of Rachel's crush of the season.

Season 9- Rachel has a crush on Joey- who is dating Charlie... who Rachel ends up not liking- just like with Julie.

Season 10- Joey and Rachel end up together- but break up because they are too good of friends. And in the finale Rachel tells Ross that she can't say goodbye to him because he means more to her than anyone else and sleeps with him right before leaving for Paris... which she believes is the perfect way to say goodbye... but then gets off the plane because of him.

Sooo what do all of these mean? I feel like Rachel couldn't really develop feelings more than a crush because this whole time she still loved Ross. And she knew she loved Ross. That's why none of these relationships ever really worked and were nothing more than crushes. It's not easy to actually fall in love when the person you've loved for years is still someone you see every day!

So yeah! I think that is everything! Hope you guys like it!

Bye!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

September 2015: It List

Now that I do weekly favorites, I feel like these will be less surprising... but still. Some good things. 1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes- Its the most wonderful latte of the year! Lol. All the yes. Soooo much yes. Its so creamy and pumpkiny and delicious. It was what has been missing from my life for a long time and now its back and I think they get more and more delicious every year. And I know last year people were like "pumpkin spice isn't cool anymore." Have you had any? It is delicious!!!! I'm a big fan of the PSL. 2) Arrow- I've been wanting to watch this show for a while. The guy that plays Oliver is not only hot, but he was really funny and good on a talk show I saw him on... so that made me like "ohh I need to watch this." I'm also not super into comic books or anything, but I do like Batman and DC movies at least more than anything else and I didn't really realize that there were so many tv shows in the DC universe right now. There are a f...
