I'm loving your reactions to this season! I don't know the source of your doubts about Colin, but I really recommend a character analysis of him that Sammy Bates did on her channel. She really covers all the major aspects of his personality and history, with plenty of receipts. It's so good, and really eye-opening on several things. He really is a genuinely good guy who loves and admires Penelope deeply. But a lot of people miss the more nuanced aspects of his characterization, and it's resulted in some people really misunderstanding him and his motivations. You've probably already filmed your reactions to the last two episodes, but it would really help you understand what's going on in his head after the Whistledown reveal. Also, just so you know, 5,000 pounds at the time was roughly equivalent to half a million dollars, so it was not an insignificant amount, even to these rich people
Ok! I already have my video recorded for the last two episodes, I just haven't looked over all of it yet so idk how much of this I covered. But I wasn't sure what my hesitations with Colin were until I talked to my friends actually. His feelings and intentions with Pen felt very rushed to me. He went from not liking her, to liking her, to proposing to her all in 3 episodes??? We also talked about how he barely touched Marina in season one when they were just getting to know each other to protect her honor. But he was all over Pen even though they've known each other longer. So I guess in the back of my mind I was wondering how much of this is love compared to lust... And I know Colin's a good guy at the end of the day. It might just be because he's one of the characters I know the least (probably because of him traveling), even with it being his season
@@justjordan497 Those are all totally valid points! For whatever it's worth, here's my take on them: 1) What's the reason romantic relationships usually require a lot of time? Because they generally start with physical attraction, and then you need to get to know each other, to make sure you're truly compatible and want the same things. And that's what takes time to do properly. But Pen and Colin haven't only known each other most of their lives, but they've been close friends that whole time. Even when he was away on his travels, they wrote to each other. They already know each other better than a lot of people know their spouses on their wedding day. They did all the same steps, they just did them backwards. They got to know each other first and then added the physical attraction (on Colin's side). So he didn't really go from not liking her to liking her- it was more like he liked (or actually loved) her in basically every way except the physical attraction, so as soon as he woke up to that, he was 100% there. That was the last box to check. And we've seen from the previous two seasons that once Colin decides what he wants, he wastes NO time! Also, at this time, people didn't court for a long time before getting married. For most people, they would meet for the first time, court for a few weeks at most, get engaged, and then get married three weeks after that (which is how long they were required to wait, for the banns to be read). Colin and Pen already knew each other 1000x better than any other engaged couple in the ton. 2) As far as the physical intimacy, you make a good point. I don't think there's a great explanation for that, but I think it mostly has to do with the difference in Colin's age and experience level, and the very different level of intensity between his feelings for Marina (puppy love/infatuation) and Penelope. If the physical intimacy were *all* we saw, then I might agree that it could just be lust. But there is so much evidence of his love and admiration (even in those intimate scenes, he's completely focused on her experience and enjoyment rather than his own), that I don't really have any trouble believing it's genuine love
LOL to you hiding in the corner after the mirror scene. Yeah, I needed a minute, too...to recover. Oh, and absolutely - I've become a massive fan of Nicola. Can't wait to watch your reaction to last 2 episodes!
13:23 I'm at this timestamp and I'm just LOVING how long the scene is, I LOVE how romantic it is. OF COURSE Nicola is a power-rocket of sultry (f*c* fatphobia). I'm such a Polin fan. I'm lucky enough to not have been spoiled on anything when part 2 came out so am sad for every second of scenes people were accidentally exposed to.
people avoiding spoilers without trying really are god's favorites cuz i woke up and opened twitter the day part 2 came out and almost every tweet was bridgerton 😭
Love your reaction and you turtling when Colin found out! Also, I’m here for Colin being the consent king and Benedict, possibly, being the bi king. Nicola is stunning and that article told on the reporter herself and her own issues more than anything. Free Palestine!
YOU ARE PHENOMENAL🙌🏻 I love all the things about you & how you deliver these amazing recaps!!! So incredibly happy I stumbled upon your channel!! Subscribed immediately. Fan for always ❤️
Eloise was such a bad friend to Cressida. The whole show Cressida has been asking Eloise to help her and as usual, all she did was talk about herself. The same thing she always did to Pen.
Yeah, that article about Nicola is disgusting🙁. Nicola is not even fat. Yes, she is a tiny bit on the bigger side but not fat. I would say she is more mid/ medium size than plus size. And also a thing about that article is that turns out the woman who wrote it, is a zionist, which explains why she was dragging down Nicola on her looks since Nicola is a big supporter of palestine.
@justjordan497 definitely Queen behavior! She wrote the reports for herself because she was miserable that first year. She was writing one and stepped out of the study a minute when she came back her father's solicitor was there. He'd found it and was laughing. He told her it was really good, and he helped her set up her empire.

Yeah I've noticed that too (especially after talking about this season with my friend). I'm really hoping she catches that next season or on hers 🤞🏾

OMG I totally forgot the author was a zionist 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾🍅🍅🍅!!!
Back in with a bang, indeed
😭😭😭
In the book, she tells Colin all about how it started. It was quite by accident in the beginning.
She became Ye Olde TMZ by ACCIDENT?!?!?! Queen behavior!!
@justjordan497 definitely Queen behavior!
She wrote the reports for herself because she was miserable that first year.
She was writing one and stepped out of the study a minute when she came back her father's solicitor was there. He'd found it and was laughing.

I know I subscribed for a REASON 👏
