Which of these recurring love interests was your favorite?

I tried to include all of the ones who appeared at least twice. The only one I intentionally left off was Phoebe's boyfriend toward the end of season 7 who was so minor he only appeared in like three scenes across two episodes altogether.

For me, it's a three-way tie between Janice, David and Mike.

Janice is absolutely hilarious and you never really know when she's going to show up.

David was also very, very funny, especially in his season 9 appearances. "The clarity is... quite poor."

Mike could be a little dull, but he had his share of moments and balanced out Phoebe's eccentricities perfectly. Also, he fit in with the group so well, especially Ross, and was basically the unofficial 7th friend in the final two seasons.

I'm tempted to vote for Charlie merely because Aisha Tyler was hot, but her character was so, so boring and didn't take advantage of her comedic skills at all. She's actually very funny in her other stuff.

Even though I didn't like Joshua's character there are some really funny storyline's tied to him. TOW the fake party where Rachel tries to seduce him is some of Jennifer Anniston's best work. Also, I love when Rachel became insane at the end of season 4 and asked Joshua to marry her, and who could forget Rachel asking Joshua out and not being invited to the date! How humiliating!

I think Tom Selleck nailed the Richard character and Richard slid comfortably into the group and the dynamic of the show. He was a lot of fun and one of my favorite recurring characters from any TV show ever.

But, the best was David. David and Phoebe had some of the most amazing chemistry. They killed it in the 9th season finale, but, man, he was great. If only Hank had more time on his hands. When Phoebe tells Mike she won't marry him, David's "Um...ha," makes the entire episode.

Yeah, I vote David.

I loved David. He was especially great in the Barbados episode, but they wrote him out pretty poorly. I was glad Phoebe picked Mike instead, but David deserved a better sendoff.

Emily. Loved her with Ross.

Mike (he balanced Phoebe out so well), Janice (hysterical), Richard was cool, Tom Selleck is funny in Three Men & A Baby w/Ted Danson & Steve Guttenberg.

I voted for Richard because he and Monica had a really good relationship. Mike was also good. Janice was funny as well. It was just so hard to decide.
