Goofs

While Ross is dancing with Elizabeth you can see where set ends above the various palm trees. The sky is blue but cameras and lights are visible just above the sky. However, the two are dancing at the MTV beach house. The scene behind them is intended to be an obvious painted set, not an actual beach. Cameras and lights are to be expected, since this is a televised event. Any equipment visible can be attributed to "MTV's" own gear for the shoot.

Joey's fridge stops working...

Rachel is living with Joey, and his fridge is always having problems until the day it stops working. Joey wants Rachel's help to pay to fix the fridge, but it is too expensive (U$ 400,00) for her, to not to mention that she is living just for a small amount of time in Joey's house until Phoebe's apartment is out of order.

Ross introduces Elizabeth to the Friends, and everybody mocks him with the fact that she is much younger than him. (She is not 21 yet!) They are having their dates in secret, since the university's teachers/directors/headmaster cannot know about them. (Otherwise Ross can lose his job.) Ross thinks that Elizabeth wants to travel with him and give a step forward in their relationship, but in fact she wants to go to Florida to Spring break.

Phoebe,Monica and Chandler have different men to introduce to Rachel and they compete to see which of the guys they chose, Rachel is going to pick. This makes Rachel feeling very uncomfortable,specially because most of the time, the two guys are in the same place.
