The One Where Chandler Crosses the Line

In this episode the love triangle between Chandler,Joey and Kathy gets ugly. I found it slightly disappointing. The whole scene where Chandler kisses Kathy was not very good. I didn't feel any chemistry between them nor was it very exciting or believable to me. The scene where Chandler confesses it to Joey was better. Probably because Joey and Chandler are such a great "couple" so that one really feels it for them. And one really wants to know it will go on

And for the fun part we get Ross's sound. It was pretty hilarious in the beginning, but then this story kind of "lost it" just like Ross did.
