The title story lets down an otherwise good episode

The problem for me with series 5 of 'Friends' is that there always seems to be one weak story that spoils an episode.

Here it's the title story, that's very weak indeed.

The joy of watching these on DVD is that you can skip such stories I guess.

Trivia
In real life, at the time of filming, Jennifer Aniston (Rachel) actually was a smoker but on the verge of quitting.

Goofs
After the callback and the casting director announces that the pairings will be Raymond and Joey and Kyle and Ben, she says that one of the two will be the final call. Joey screws up his own audition, but Ross says Ben didn't get the part either. If it was possible for neither to get the part, there would have been no need for Joey and Ross to fight in the first place.

Quotes
Joey Tribbiani: [trying to convince Ross to let him appear in a commercial instead of Ben] Come on, Ross! I should be in this commercial! Even Chandler thinks so!
Ross: Is this true, Chandler?
Chandler: Uh... um... Hey, who's that at the door?
Chandler: [gets up and answers the door; no one's there] Oh - hi, no one!
[Chandler bolts out the door]

Crazy credits
A deleted scene shows during Rachel's birthday party,shows Chandler goes through Rachel's purse to look for cigarettes, when he finds them, Monica presents him with an ultimatum which is for him to choose either the cigarettes or her: he chooses her.
