Crew or equipment visible: After the food is burned/ruined, the Friends are all sitting in front of the TV watching skiing. When Monica turns off the TV, you can clearly see two individuals in the reflection. According to the placement of the actors sitting in the room and the clothing that they are wearing, these two individuals are not any of the actors. One is in a white shirt and tie, and the other is in an all dark outfit.

The one of the the Thanks Giving

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Monica, and Ross decide to have Thanks giving dinner in Monica's apartment, since their parents went to Porto Rico. Phoebe joins them, since she is the only one free in the holiday.

Everybody has an idea for Thanks Giving, but one by one, they join Monica , Phoebe and Ross at Monica's:

Rachel wanted to visit her family in Vail, but loses her flight; Joey takes pictures for the free clinic, but since the pictures ends up being for venereal disease, his family avoids him, thinking he has V.D; and Chandler just don't celebrate Thanks Giving, since it was the holiday his parents decided to divorce. ( But in the episode, he decides to change that, celebrating with all his friends in the end of the episode)

Ps: So funny to see Ross talking to Carol's big belly!
