The fact that Tilly hooked up with Benedict and thought “ain’t no way he’s straight” cracks me up

[@PinkPopcast]

heehee, she knows what we already knew!

[@rachelsarmientotack]

Well, she was married once and knows what that sort of relationship is like. She's been a part of high society and understands the norms. And she did already have a close relationship with a man as free of those norms as she wished to be...... so she had plenty of references for what type of man Benedict is and what he might be open to, if those options were opened up to him in a safe and confidential environment.

[@nkt.11]

Hehe we love to see it 🤭

love that rizzo was genuinely pissed for penelope. it IS annoying when someone takes credit for your life's work, especially when that someone is your bully.

[@PinkPopcast]

Yea, sounds right

[@mirandasaralyn]

I saw it as her also being jealous about not being able to announce the engagement. They are in love and engaged, but because they haven't smoothed things over with the Queen they can't publicly announce and celebrate it.

[@keilatenshi5910]

History nerd here! What happened during the church scene is called the reading of the banns. When a couple becomes engaged, their local curch will read out a bann, or an announcement of the intent to get married. They'll do this three times over three weeks and give others a chance to possibly object. If no one objects, after the third bann is read, the couple can officially get married.

[@PinkPopcast]

Nice! Is the wedding cancelled if someone objects?

[@alexakelley2353]

@@PinkPopcastThe objection has to be some legal reason the couple cannot be married. Like “that man is already married to someone else” and not “I don’t think they’re right for each other”. So if the objection is legitimate, then yes.

[@HerHollyness]

I was just going to post the same thing! Only I’m not a ‘history nerd’, I’m just British - the reading of the banns still takes place in Church of England marriages to this day. It’s part of the custom. They have to be read three times to allow time for legal objections (such as polygamy). That, combined with the Marriage Act of 1753 which was designed to prevent ‘undesirable marriages’ and required witnesses and the consent of the parents for a marriage to take place, led to lots of couples eloping over the border to Scotland, where the law didn’t apply. Then they wouldn’t have to wait three weeks or obtain consent - they could just pay a sum (usually quite hefty) and be married by a local blacksmith in Gretna Green. Don’t know why it was a blacksmith though - there my local knowledge runs out! 😂

[@ameliecarre4783]

​​@@HerHollynessBecause traveling from the south, generally on horseback or in a carriage, the first place in the first Scottish town they could drop the horses at was the forge, that also served as stables; and therefore the first person they met that could act as witness (which is all that was needed) was the blacksmith. It's really that simple. And then it became a tradition that the blacksmith would perform the weddings at a moment's notice, over the anvil so as to not interrupt his real work for too long.

[@chickflikguru]

the tradition of the blacksmith sealing the marriage by striking his anvil led to the Gretna blacksmiths becoming known as 'anvil priests'.

[@danis4187]

as an artist and a writer/poet, I would absolutely hate for ANYONE to take credit for my work which - no matter what it's about, is always personal to some degree. not a lot of reactors understood that it wasn't just about penelope's livelihood and identity as a business woman that was at stake here, but that it's also her as an artist and a creative, and giving that up is absolutely never an option.

[@PinkPopcast]

we might just be a couple of KZbin Reactors, but we treat these videos like our art and would HATE for anyone to take that away from us! 🥺

[@Maarttii]

I think it was SO WILD for Eloise to like...cut off her friendship with Cressida? She does it entirely for optics, doesn't ask her why she's lying, and starts a fight with her like "remember what you wrote about me last year?!" when she KNOWS Cressida didn't write that? This must be the character building we have to do to lead up to Eloise's season because now Cressida AND Penelope have both told her what a bad friend she is.

[@lenochod6]

yes, exactly, I get why Penelope hates her and I get why they do not like each other, but I think Cressida really tried with Eloise and Eloise was so shit to her, I am really sorry for Cressida, she deserved bettter in this season.

[@roxirock5455]

I agree. For Eloise, who speaks so much about hating marriage, to be so completely dismissive of Cressida's concerns and her wishes to get out of it, is rather odd. I get she had a lot going on that night, but still....

[@chickflikguru]

​​@@lenochod6 Cressida: I'm marrying a man thrice my age Eloise "the feminist" bridgerton : Sorrows, sorrows, prayers

[@crystalpritchard5065]

But she can’t tell Cressida that she knows she’s lying, she’s not supposed to know who Lady Whistledown is. She has to pretend, even to Cressida, that she believes her, and if she believes Cressida is Whistledown, why would she be friends with her? If the writers wanted to continue Cressida’s redemption arc with Eloise, they should’ve have her tell Eloise outside the church that she lied and she isn’t Whistledown but needed a way out of the marriage with Greer. Then they could’ve had them work together in a way that would make sense. I also don’t think Eloise was paying attention to Cressida or the way people were talking at the engagement party so I’m not entirely sure she knows why Cressida confessed to being Whistledown. I mean we already know Eloise is pretty self absorbed and misses obvious clues, like your childhood best friend being in love with your brother for years.

[@PunofHarts]

Eloise cut her off cos she knew she was lying.

[@El_Ezra_Meitar5]

comparing Benedict to Ross is actually genius I'm in shock how I didn't think of it myself

[@PinkPopcast]

Right? 😂

[@Iish_]

My only criticism is how they handled the Eloise/Cressida friendship, why she claimed to be Lady Whistledown made so much sense, especially given how much Eloise knew of her home situation you'd think she would at least hear her out a little!

[@PinkPopcast]

Eloise really only considers herself 😬 literally next episode she's like "Hey thanks Penelope for helping out but also I'm not gonna help you cause I'm too involved" 🥴

[@sashabowerbank5445]

​@@PinkPopcast😂😂😂 real

[@crystalpritchard5065]

I understand why they handled Eloise and Cressida’s friendship post Whistledown announcement the way they did. In part because I don’t think Eloise knows why Cressida took credit for Whistledown. The whole engagement party her focus was on Penelope and Colin so I don’t think she heard what everyone was saying and why Cressida would see it as a way of not marrying Greer. I mean we don’t even know if Eloise knows that the engagement to Greer is off. I think in her mind, Cressida likely claimed to be Whistledown for attention. We know Eloise is clueless and rather self-centered. And secondly, Eloise has to pretend to think Cressida is Whistledown, she’s not supposed to know Cressida is lying, so it makes sense that she’d confront Cressida about what was written about her in the past and not want to continue a friendship with someone that everyone else, including Eloise, is supposed to believe is Whistledown. If they wanted Eloise to help Cressida, or at least have her understand Cressida’s motivations, they should’ve had her tell Eloise that she was lying outside the church. She should’ve told Eloise that she pretended to be Whistledown to avoid the marriage but was now being threatened by the Queen and her dad and needed Eloise’s help. I mean Eloise may have still said no, as it’s been pointed out she’s fairly selfish, but at least she’d be aware of the whole situation.

[@prachikumari6034]

THANK YOU Rizzo & Benji for understanding why Penelope wouldn't want to give up being Whistledown, she should not have to give up her whole identity for her man! It's really confused me how many people I've seen just say 'yeah give it up if you want to be with Colin' but nooooo mention of Colin working through his feelings to figure out if he's ok with Pen being who she is because if he's not, fair enough he has every right to feel that way. But everyone is so quick to say SHE is the one who has to change and give up everything she's worked for, everything she enjoys doing and who she is as a person to be with Colin. Moral of my little rant is you do NOT have to change who you are as a person for anyone, you do not have to give up your hopes and dreams in order to make someone happy because all that will give you is misery.

[@PinkPopcast]

That is… wild… how could people NOT understand how important that is to her!? I can understand maybe putting aside LW to start another form of writing but… that would be like a significant other asking me to leave Pink Popcast to do reactions elsewhere - no way josé!

[@katlikethatprodz]

Lady Whistledown is a gossip paper that says mean things about people and only benefits Pen and puts the people close to her in danger since the Queen got involved. Colin wanting her to give that up is understandable. He doesn't even want her to stop writing. She could do something serious with her talent instead of being recency TMZ or Gossip Girl and spreading other people's business!? What part of Whistledown is so hard to give up? What does it say that being a gossip monger is part of Penelope?

[@katiuskaramos7174]

​@@katlikethatprodz Well, she doesn't JUST say bad things, she says everything, good and bad (all true, by the way). The thing is that, being the Ton the highest class of society - after the royals, of course - they're very false, superficial and hypocritical because they value appariences way more than the rest of the classes bellow them, so there's A LOT of negative to comment, to which Penelope has been front-row witness and victim of. Of course, there's no denying she hasn't been doing the best with it, but as Eloise has noticed already, she felt so invisible, unheard and mistreated socially, that LW was her way to shout.... And, we cannot forget, she's barely 19 or 20 (she started LW being a full-on teenager) so for her to, occasionally, get power-drunk having such an important platform in her social sphere, for me at least, is just plain logical. Also, as with today's news and/or almost every periodical publication, the negative gets more light, weight and relevance. The positive is barely there. It hasn't changed, it's still like that. The negative gets reviewed, discussed, analized... The positive is, unfortunately, poorly commented and easily forgoten. Effing human nature, I guess 🙄🤷🏽‍♀️ That's why I think Penelope is so interesting as a character - specially as a leading lady - because she is not black or white, she's very much grey, trying to be better and learn from her stupid mistakes.

[@fuzzyapple]

I agree with ​@@katlikethatprodz- there has to be some compromise. Because giving up your career for a man is stupid, but giving up the love of your life for a career is insane. I think giving up LW would be the more rational choice with the addition of telling colin about it and then finding an alternative. Having a writer as a husband is a great front if you want to publish any serious piece of writing of your own under a pseudonym. Or she could've even published under her own name, since it wasn't that unheard of

[@em8066]

I have mixed feelings about this, and wish the show handled it better. Penelope is a great writer and super resourceful, I want her to own that. Women authors were rare then, but some were popular. Still, Pen would likely need LW in her portfolio to continue getting widely published. She has also caused a lot of unnecessary harm to others - mostly women - in this repressive society. So I wanted Pen to apologize and promise to be "more responsible" *in specific ways*, rather than keeping it vague. And I wanted her to own her truth, her outstanding skill and achievement. To both own her wins and her mistakes, to unabashedly love herself, warts and all. The romance was in Colin and Pen having the chance to fully know and accept each other. Colin's anger resolved unbelievably quickly and for shallow reasons (the queen's cool, so he's cool?). Pen needed a better speech. But, ultimately, I'm glad Pen didn't give up her work or fade into the background without being known - just for a guy. I hated the tendency for Pen to be sidelined again in her own season, and I was so underwhelmed by the finale.

I love season 3- it is a lot more nuanced than season 1 and 2 and I think you need to watch the season a few times to pick up on everything and really appreciate how good it is. This was a season with a lot of nuances and depth- I loved it but I had to watch it a few times to truly pick up on everything it was trying to say. while I do think the side storylines could've been trimmed down or cut this season overall was amazing. Penelope and Colin felt like/ came across like a real couple who truly loved each other, and Penelope's personal arc of self love and self actualization was amazing. To me season 3 was about Penelope acquiring full self actualization as a character and Colin loving pen for pen and not his child/idealized pedestal version of her- but loving her for her, which is what pen had to do 2nd season. LW is a part of who Penn is so I get that her giving it up would be challenging and feel like she would be losing a part of her identity. They have always been unchaperoned- since season 1 he has found a way to be unchaperoned with her and because none viewed her as viable no-one did anything about it

[@debbieday5812]

14:19 Yeah, that's reading of the banns and no, it couldn't have been messed up for them that easily. The idea of stopping a marriage because a person came in who says they love the bride wouldn't fly back then. No, the reason this was an option is in case there was a legitimate or legal reason why the two people shouldn't marry. For instance, if a man was already married somewhere else and nobody knew but one person, that person would object to the wedding and reasons like that would be 'just' reasons why the couple shouldn't marry. The reading of the banns is usually the announcement to the wedding but also the 'object to the wedding' questions and it needs to be done for 2 consecutive sundays before the wedding to give people enough time to respond with any objections. If you don't want to do the wedding this way you could also pay for a licence, or you could get a special license and marry anywhere, even in somebody's home, but for that you need to be a peer (like viscount or duke or duchess) and it's much more expensive than any other option. Or, you can always elope in Scotland, but that's the most shocking way to do it.

I’ve been rewatching the season from episode 1 and after you guys pointed it out in this reaction I’ve noticed that the balls do feel less grand this season. But now I’m wondering if part of that is on purpose because we are almost seeing the balls from Penelope’s perspective as a wallflower. The focus seems less on the dancing and we’re getting more interactions in the corners and more talking. Daphne was herself grand and beautiful and the diamond of her season, so it’s almost like the balls were also larger than life to live up to that. And so much of her and Simon’s intense chemistry came from how they danced together. I know that Colin and Penelope also dance at balls together, in fact before Debling he was her only dance partner, but their connection came more from their banter at the back of the room. I don’t know if that makes sense or if I’m reading too much into it.

But it needs to be complete with the “Heh heh, heck yeah, I’m Colin Bridgerton” parts.

that intro was it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PinkPopcast]

No your COMMENT was it!!! 😘😘😘

[@izzyliberty8720]

I was dreading watching reactions to this second half of the season this time around - there's way too much dramatic opinions on it out there that I've seen, and I've already got critique of my own to stand between me and enjoying the story - but y'all are fantastic as ever. Even when I disagree, I'm entertained and only more incentivised to rewatch or reconsider. Thanks so much for your reactions!

[@PinkPopcast]

Thank you 🥰

[@originaozz]

The show actually made me team Cressida. Like she's actually hustling over here, trying not to be married to a strict grandpa while Eloise only judges. She has so much more freedom & a loving family, girlie could have help out a bit.

[@cheryljones6654]

Rizzo, Thanks for not answering the question about sheep versus whales! OMG!

[@amberwings90]

Not much to say about this episode that you guys haven't already said. Can't wait to see your reactions to the last few episodes!

hahahaha thank you!

[@SilveryRow]

Making me giggle, as ever! Cressida's red dress was fabulous.

[@MeganSin]

You know what Cressida should have done (even though the red dress entrance was a moment) since I just watched the twilight reactions this morning while getting ready for work, she should’ve married the old man and then break up staked his old ass! lol a good ol’ break up stakes fixes everything lol! I will say in the books, the carriage scene happens after he finds out she’s whistledown because if there’s one thing the bridgerton’s love is when someone licks food in front of them and and angry passionate sex.

[@PinkPopcast]

Holy shit really!?!? Hahaha breakup stake 🧛🏽‍♂️

[@MeganSin]

@@PinkPopcast yeah I think the carriage scene happens because Colin is so angry and upset but also horny and proud because of all Penelope accomplished. I think the current carriage scene in the show makes more sense since lord debling was the catalyst for Colin to decide that Penelope is the only girl for him. Also Cressida could have totally been like I thought he was a vampire so I had my servants fetch me a break up stake lol

[@notevenfunny_]

Someone on tiktok pointed out that Penelope’s only looking at Colin’s lips the whole time he’s talking about Cressida being Lady Whistledown. She really said “yap, yap, yap, all I’m thinking about is how I can put my lips on yours”. Reminds me of when Colin is staring Penelope down like she’s dessert during the market scene in ep 2. Even though I personally prefer Polin as a couple, I can understand why you guys haven’t really warmed up to them until now. I really wanted them to be the Jay-Z and Beyoncé of Bridgerton, but looks like that title still belongs to Queen Charlotte and Farmer George.

[@PinkPopcast]

I’m okay with farmer George and Charlotte holding that title at least

[@dominomasked]

Awww happy Benji 🥰

loooove your commentary!! cant wait for the next one

[@PinkPopcast]

Thank you so much!

[@kimiko11150616]

I love Cressida this season. Her entrance was peak. Love the dragon look on her. I hope Colin doesn't somehow stop Lady Whistledown's next issue. I'm sad to see what will happen to Cressida if it comes out. I wanted to see her take the win and live her life away from her father, but at the same time Penelope deserves to take credit for her own work. I'm pulled in different directions and what will be, will be.

[@PinkPopcast]

That’s how I was feeling too!

[@PinkPopcast]

I’m hoping she’ll get a full redemption eventually

[@maryjoromero4936]
