Recently, someone shared a DVD cover from an old “Friends” season on Twitter and started a whole controversy. On the DVD cover of the fourth season of Friends, all of the cast-mates are posing on the front cover as if they were asleep – except for Rachel.
The user who had posted this on Twitter needed to know – why is Rachel the only one with her eyes open? He then asked the people of Twitter to weigh in on #FriendsGate, making the question viral.

Of course, the Tweet went around and people submitted their best theories possible.

She's the only one who's actually alive. They all died in episode one & every episode since is in her imagination.

All right. Real talk? Ross has his eyes open. You just can't tell because he's David Schwimmer. #FriendsGate

Rachel had a breakdown, she moved into a mental hospital not an apartment. The rest are fellow patients

The memory of the Rachel haircut haunts her dreams so much, she can't sleep.

So, what are your theories? Why is Rachel the only one “awake” on the Season 4 cover?
