IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR??? Polin is getting KINKY | *Bridgerton: Season 3* REACTION

[@poppyyppop]

the only reason eloise doesn’t know that pen has been in love with her brother is bc she never actually paid attention to her

[@KK-yn2xb]

Yep. And she’s so self absorbed in her own self she doesn’t pay attention to anyone else. Not even Cressida as her world is shattering in real time, Eloise is yammering about Herself.

[@Pfruit0916]

Eloise not knowing pens feelings isn’t really surprising. The whole reason Penelope being whistledown is bc she isnt seen or heard unless it is in her scandal sheet. Even her best friend didn’t really see her. She thought pen would be content to be a spinster not realizing with the amount of romance novels pens reads that she is a romantic at heart. Eloise is very single minded and opinionated. She can be very self absorbed & doesn’t really care about romance. Pens feelings for Colin aren’t something she would notice the same way she didn’t realize pen was whistledown. Eloise isnt big on accountability so she won’t acknowledge that what happened with Theo and the queen was in part bc she was reckless. And she won’t own that if she paid a bit more attention to her friend she would’ve seen her feelings. And honestly she is doing the same thing with Cressida bc she is cracking jokes when Cressida is terrified & desperate to marry before her parents force her into a match.

[@AceVenturaaa]

Eloise owned her recklessness, w/ Theo, in part 2. I said 'finally' b/c I didn't think she realized how big of a part she played in the whole scandal.

[@yc0995]

I was giggling and kicking my feet watching the mirror scene. Nicola is gorgeous, a renaissance woman and I love how gentle Luke acted for the Scene

[@beatyz2]

I think Francesca is 100% right. Like I think Francesca found who she wanted to be "out loud" by meeting someone quieter but so deeply loving. And even if it's not a great Bridgeton love story like Violet may have wanted, a relationship that help you learn who you are, it's a valuable relationship! I am truly blown away how much more she seems like a defined herself, by being with Kilmartin

[@jcr-studios]

Yes exactly. A love story without the drama!

[@mariazamora6824]

I know there are ppl who were disappointed with the sex scene HOWEVER...I do think this has been more the *realistic* full sex scene of the series. It fits their couple dynamic as friends to really talk to each other through it. And if ppl want to argue the carriage was steamier: i def get that but i also think the circumstances were crazier. Colin thought he was gonna lose her, hidden feelings were FINALLY confessed, & tbh, i know i definitely would feel more comfortable (and thus sexy) covered up. I know there can be a debate as to whether we should have realism in this show at all but I think the scene was still incredibly intimate its own way ❤

[@garlantyrell6368]

Honestly, I can’t really blame Cressida for claiming to be Lady Whistledown. She’s in a very tough spot right now and it’s either gain the Queen’s favor and get that reward money to sail off somewhere else or to marry an elderly man who will keep her under lock and key. At this point, I think she’s just trying to survive. Her father is terrible but at least her mother was trying to help her a little. She seems to care for her more than her husband.

[@ollyotzie]

Yeah, I definitely felt for Cressida. I was hoping she would be more honest with Lord Debling and they would end up together.

[@LordVolkov]

Cressida has the right motives, but goes about them in petty thoughtless ways. She really is a much more interesting character this season.

[@Pyrochik2]

The problem is she would never be able to maintain that at all and would eventually get caught and it would be worse. She also is sadly a victim of her own behaviour even if it because of her toxic upbringing.

[@aimeejoyransome9855]

The whole "mirror" thing, in my opinion, is about trying to get her to see herself as he sees her

[@laxxla]

The scene where Colin stands up to Lady Featherington is very similar to the Anthony one you mentioned, but also parallels Penelope and Colin's encounter with Cressida in the pilot, where she spills her drink on Pen and Colin refuses to dance with her. Pen turns away just like here, and Colin rejects Cressida and chooses Pen instead, even leading her away by the hand in the same way. He has a similar look in his eye, and tone of voice. Not as strong, because he was younger, and dealing with a bratty teenager instead of a grown woman, but the vibe is pretty much the same.

[@crissyjayfae]

4:03 go back and rewatch the horse race scene of Season 2. That interaction between Eloise stepping in and taking away Pen from Colin, that is always how she completely misses the clues. She hardly paid attention to Pen when she was fixating on women’s dreams and finding Lady Whistledown.

[@Pyrochik2]

I noticed that.

[@Twisted_Poppy]

It was a bit quick but she was a virgin , Colin held out as long as he could...lmao!! 😂

[@KforFreedom]

We really can’t watch a super long scene…. It just needed to be edited better to imply it was longer

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

[@muginfires]

"oh my god i shouldn't be here" my genuine reaction... i never felt i was intruding a fictional couple like this before

[@beatyz2]

Also, like thank God for Colin. He might have 'ruined' her before the wedding, but he didn't make it a rushed slap-dash affair. Of the children she has gotten married, one have waited for banns to be called. ONE!!😂 Which in those times was the minimum any couple would wait to get married if they weren't getting married to avert scandal!!

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

Well, I suspect Anthony had the banns called. For that matter, I strongly suspect so did Daphne and Simon. We just didn't see it.

[@sagejennings4342]

10:05 no bc I read the book scene and he was like "can't move at all for a few seconds or I am NOT gonna last". It didn't even last as long as that did lol. He's attracted to her for sure...

[@Tomas-ql9yo]

Penelope looks stunning this season

[@brownbutterb-roll921]

😂 The way I was yelling at Eloise through the television screen! I haven’t read the books yet but I never got the impression that Eloise knew about Pen’s feelings for Colin…to be fair I love Eloise but she was always far to self absorbed to notice anything that didn’t involve what she had going on.Remember Penelope yelled at her for it in I think season 1.

[@moe_chi]

THIS!!!!! All she did was talk but never listened or payed attention to what any one said until she stopped and listen to pen that she found out she was lady whistletown but if eloise really was pen friend she would if noticed pen always liked colin

[@sagejennings4342]

6:45 ooh girl he "sullied her" the first time they kissed. She's been "ruined" since before she even courted Debling. So I mean with the carriage and everything...might as well at this point yk

In the books, Eloise doesn’t even know about Penelope being Lady Whistledown until the 6th book in the series. And when she finds out that Colin and Penelope are engaged she’s excited. Their friendship in the books is different than in the show.

[@BoBortels]

In the book Pen has a younger sister, Felicity (same age as Hyacinth and they are besties). When Colin goes to asks for Penelope’s hand after finding out she is Wistledown and the carriage scene, Portia thinks he is there to ask for Felicity’s hand. Colin gets really mad and stands up for Pen as well. I love that even though Felicity is not in the series they still made that scene happen. Alsoooo. Loverboy means something totally different where i’m from. In the Netherlands it’s used to describe a man who traps girls and makes them fall in love, then forces them in to s*x work… i was so confused for a sec.

[@justuvy]

I feel as though Eloise’s feelings are valid. Her ex best friend whom she broke up with because she wrote degrading things about her family, Marina, and even Colin. So imagine when she sees them engaged…Eloise is on a journey of self discovery as much as any other character in the show. I just hate seeing fans bashing her so much

[@beabzz_]

when you suggest she writes books its not that simple, being lady whistledown is the only way she can write because its generally seen during those times that the only thing they should do is marry and have children. her mother may be pessimistic at times but its also realistic whilst being sad

[@timeforlaurynsopinion5138]

she could still write books, jane austen was writing her novels at the time, although she had to publish them anonymously.

[@yaraveragewatcher]

4:05 i think Elois never realized or noticed that her best friend had feelings for her brother all this time because she's too self-absorbed and often focuses on things she invests on. Like a perfect example is how it took her all last season to figure out Pen is Lady Whistledown-and she figured that out, because she just listens to what Penelope has to say for once and paid her actual attention for once.

[@hopet7090]

I get Eloise being upset about whistledown and her wanting Penelope to tell Colin before the wedding. Do I think she should have been dropping hints at the party Eh she could have picked a better time. I feel like to many people gloss over the impact of LW and what Penelope was doing cause we love pen. We can call her out for her bad behavior. And making the comments she made about the king and queen are literal hangable offenses. I also got spoiled about Francesca and John and it makes me sad

[@beatyz2]

What seems sad about people who only watch the show finding out about John and Francesca is what people who know the books find sweet. Because if you knew John died, when you were introduced to him in the show you think- oh my gosh what a sweet bonus love story that we never got to read❤. But if you're finding this love so engaging that you don't want it to end, then you're all😥 boohoo. It's really hard not wanting to know anything about a series based off books that are over 20 years old (Francesca's book literally came out in '04). Spoilers exist everywhere because they're not really spoilers, because Big Plot points have been OUT there

[@hopet7090]

@@beatyz2 Spoilers can be hard when the series is old. So much of the books came out when we were children like you say Fran’s book came out in 04 I was maybe 9 then. But even though I know some of the plot I don’t think it totally ruins the experience of watching since the show has done stuff to change characters and make them more likeable. So it’ll still be interesting to see it play out. Cause even tho we knew the ending of King Charles watching the origin of him and charlotte was still touching. When they introduced John I thought “oh how adorable” and someone on twitter posted their ending after the first half came out.

Book Eloise literally did not care that Pen was LW. They made this drama for no reason. There was the drama about Colin finding out and the Cressida nonsense, they didn't need Eloise to be a b!tch too. And I looked it up. £5000 in the early 1800s would be around £560,000 or $700,000 today.

[@taminaah7188]

But LW in the books and in the show it's not the same. In the books she only talks about silly gossips but in the show she actually ruined people lives and of course their reaction would be different. And I must say when I read that part in the book when Eloise was totally chill about Pen hiding for 10 years that she is LW...like that was so lazy writing and so disappointing. At least in the show their relationship is more complex.

[@mamaseesa3122]

@@taminaah7188 tbf, Eloise had A LOT going on when she found out. As far as the difference between book and show LW, they did make her a bit meaner, yes, which I don't like. But I would hardly say she's 'ruined lives'. Eloise was barely singed, Colin himself said 'almost' ruined. Marina got just desserts since in the end she got a husband that was aware and OK with her being 'spoiled' and already pregnant, and Colin was saved from a loveless marriage. So whose lives were ruined, exactly?

I copied and pasted this interview from season three showrunner (Jess) we could’ve had virgin Collin if it wasn’t for Shanda. We could’ve had our Jamie Fraser of the Bridgerton universe. wasted potential now I have to endure the shitty 💩 characterization. F Boy redemption ark everywhere I go when I’m trying to escape it through fanfiction. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Now I want to know if there was a Shonda note on Penelope and Colin. That creative collaboration is so sacred. I will say Shonda and I debated Colin's virginity. I was pro Colin being a virgin because it tracked with his character. In my mind, him coming back at the start of the season acting like he was this Regency F-boy was surely an act. But Shonda made a really good point, which was that if he is really trying to convince himself, he's doing it [being a womanizer]. I think some of those scenes in the brothel, for example, which I know are very controversial, when Shonda and I were talking about it, these represent him trying to lean into this toxic masculinity and trying to prove to himself that he can be just like his older brothers. As you can see in the second [brothel scene], he can't even convince himself for longer than a week or whatever that this is what he wants. I ultimately really agreed with her. She's a genius at - I mean, she often gives notes that I know are going to be controversial, but they're also going to be the thing that gets people excited about the storyline, and talking about it, and debating it. I'm glad that Shonda pushes me into a space where we're making stronger creative choices.
