This has probably been done before, but it's round 1 of the best Friends series. How it works is this: you have a week to vote on your favourite series. At the end of the week the three least popular will be eliminated (we need at least 40 users to vote to make this poll valid.)

Here is a summary of each series to remind you and help you decide:

Series 1: The one that started the craze! Ross spends the whole series in love with Rachel but doesn't tell her: she finds out at the end of the series only to see Ross getting off a plane with his new girlfriend Julie. Carol had Ross's baby, Ben. Memorable episodes: TOW Rachel finds out, TOW The East German Laundry Detergent, TOW the poker, TOW the blackout, TOW the birth, TOW the stoned guy

I voted for Season 8; because that's the first season for Mondler as a married couple , then the relationship between R&R goes to a whole new level with Rach's pregnancy and there are alot of funny episodes such as:
TOW the red sweater
TOW the video tape
TOW the halloween party
TOW Chandler takes a bath
TOW rachel is late

I voted for Season 5, it's just so classic, and the humour and style is mix between the newer series' and the older series'...

So many great episodes and comedy moments, and all the characters are perfect. It was a close contest for me, I would have voted season 8 next, and then season 3 probably.

I voted Season 8. I loved the arc with Rachel's pregnancy (although it was a bit more than an arc, lol...it lasted the whole seasong), there was so much comedy the writers could spin around it and it worked brilliantly... no wonder they got the Emmy that season. :)

Hm, hard to choose.
But I guess I pick season 4. It includes many of my favourite episodes such as TOW The Ballroom Dancing, TOW Chandler In A Box, TOW The Embryos, TOW All The Haste and TOW Ross's Wedding (1+2)!!!

I'm quite surprised Series 7 got 5 votes already- I think it's the worst season, except for the last 6 or 7 episodes...

Voted for season one because I really love how it started all. Everytime I watch season one you really see them become the group you love so much. But I also put season 2,7,8 and 10 on number 1 actually. :)

Poll closed.

The results: series 1 and 9 are instanly eliminated. There is a tie break between series 3 and series 6. The solution to this will be a coin toss, best of 5. Series 6 will be heads, series 3 is tails. When one gets to three they are saved.

unagi
01-18-2005, 02:19 PM
1...it's a tail!
Series 3 (1) Series 6 (0)

2...it's a tail!
Series 3 (2) Series 6 (0)

3...it's a tail!
Series 3 (3) Series 6 (0)

Unfortuately series 6 is eliminated (very sad!)

The next round will be between series 2, series 3, series 4, series 5, series 7, series 8 and series 10. The poll will be launched later.

Oh, such a shame that season 6 got eliminated after a coin toss. Maybe there could have been a tournament between those two seasons. However I´m looking forward to the next round...

unagi

Yeah I'm sad but we were never prepared for a tie break. At the time we decided that it was the fairest way to eliminate a series. In any subsequent tie breaks we will re-open the poll options for 24 hours. Series 6 was our all time fav though, so it was sad to see it go.

Roll on round 2!:hello2:

PS. Would it be possible for a mod or admin to lock this topic?
