Bridgerton Men RANKED From Worst to Best

[@ViranJudePereira]

One character who deserves a spot is Mr Albion Finch. He first appeared in season 1 and he immediately started courting Philipa. Both of them were cute together. Remember, the Featherington girls had no beauty compared to the Bridgerton girls, and no one, including the Queen paid any attention to the family. But Mr Finch didn't mind that. He truly cared for Philipa. He made few appearances in Season two where Philipa was excited to see him, and at one point, Portia points him out to Philipa. He brings her flowers and spends time with the family at their home, and also happens to have the longest courtship of all three seasons. They have a small ceremony as to the matter of the dowry, yet they are a happy couple. And he always showed kindness to both his sister-in-laws Pen and Prudence, and respect their mother Portia. He is the only one to notice Pen and smile at her when she presents herself at the ball wearing a green dress. He is a nice Gentleman.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Yes. I was waiting for someone to comment on that. I noticed them more after a Pensive Whiskers video discussed them and am always paying attention to those little moments with him and Phillipa. I also adore that now Penelope has one supporter in her family. So cute!

[@salwanausheenbariah4300]

I was thinking the same!! I noticed and loved him from the beginning!!

[@clairecobb4119]

Mr Finch is his sisters-in-laws' greatest supporter. His face when Pen descended the stairs in her new green dress was so cute! He adores his wife, and cares about her family, including Pen even when his wife is being horrible about her.

[@deeuphrosyne]

True, and many people pointed out that Finch might be know how to ‘make an heir’ for Featherigton, but he respect and care about Philipa so he wait for her to be ready, which the actress of Philipa and Portia agree that is ‘very Finch’. They also have the best relationship compare to many.

Why does everyone like Debling? Yes, he’s a kind man who has one passion, but why do people like him for pen? He straight up tells her his work takes his whole heart and that he will never have the room to love her. She would live a lonely, unfulfilled life with him.

[@kitsune-c8j]

Because he was honest and didn't make any empty promises. Love can blossom in any relationship based on honesty and respect. He's not looking for a piping hot romance and didn't promised one. Realistically, those don't last past 6 months with luck. He just went straight to the point and promised a future of security and freedom to be who him and her wanted to be, while being life companions. I have no doubts they would have fallen in love in time. Like, throwing someone off a horse with your hat is a ridiculous reason to fall in love with someone so... falling in love because you're sharing your life with an awesome man is a great reason to fall in love.

[@Roguestatus33]

@@kitsune-c8j I understand why he’s likable, I don’t understand why people believe he’s good for Pen. She expressed her desire for love. Passion. Romance. He was happy her life would be so fulfilling without him around. He would be leaving for years at a time, yet expected her to maintain affection for him. I don’t imagine that lasts long either. I appreciate that he was open and honest about what he wanted and played no games, but he also didn’t consider at all what anyone else would want, namely Pen.

Benedict, at first glance he does seem like a rake, but the author of this is right, he never disrespected any of the women he was with, even Lucy Grandvile. Which is why I hope they do his book next because Sophie is the Yin to his Yang. In society's standards she should not exist, because she is a Bastard, she's conservative because she doesn't want her kids to go threw what she went threw. Meanwhile Benedict is more liberal, and doesn't care what society does or says. I Think it is also a chance to have a working class lead. they show it a little with the Mondriche's, but the Leads for each season have been members of the Ton. It would be a nice change of pace.

In terms of honesty but his expectation that a woman would wait around for three years was a bit selfish. He needed a very good estate manager not a wife

[@TRESINGZFR]

@@cheriedeparis5000It may have been selfish but it’s real. I honestly think that be a lot of people problem when looking for a spouse or a relationship their not selfish enough and settle for something they don’t really want. If more people were honest about what they want out of a relationship and up front with the person or people they are pursuing then people could make informed decisions and their would probably be a lot less miserable relationships or divorces. You should be absolutely selfish when choosing the person you want to spend your life with after all they are the person that’s supposed to add value to your life and situation the compromising and being unselfish happens once you decide to be in the relationship and fall in love with that person and get to know them to care for them and the wants and needs.

[@CJPDeQueen]

​@cheriedeparis5000 I agree with you. And sadly Pen would have settle for that because she would have felt that it was the best she could do which is in no way good despite his honesty. As Pen reads romantic stories I don't believe she would have been truly satisfied with her married life if it was to him especially if he was to constantly be going away for adventures. She wouldn't be really getting to know her 'husband'. Though I'm not surprised that others big up a character like Lord Debling, the same thing happened in s1 with the Prince who was interested in Daphne. A perfect male character with seemingly no red flags is always the ideal when true life is usually more complex and complicated than that.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Part 2 of 3: my Polin comment because I am that obsessed. That is what made Penelope and Colin so special to many because their friendship, reaped in scandal, allowed them to see almost everything about each other. They took time building up that trust and foundation for their feelings to grow. I never felt the carriage in the scene in the show and book as Colin compromising Penelope. But the two of them allowing themselves to explore this new side of the relationship that Penelope desired for years and Colin repressing for years. Not to be hypocritical of the brothel scenes considering many men did this in the time period, but I appreciated that it showed this is not Colin at all because there is no emotional connection there. I loved how someone pointed out that he kept his eye on the time and did not want to be late meeting Penelope. That showed where his heart actually was and the brothel scenes were him “trying to be what society wanted him to be”. Would I cut like 30 seconds of those scenes out for scenes that progressed their relationship a bit more. Sure, but at least they played a part in his character development. I do love that he tries to redeem his mistakes with people which shows the sensitive side that Violet spoke about which I feel gets missed by fans. I could go on forever about him and them, but I will end it here.

@Travels438 Hey, I didn't even like the guy in season 1. There was always something interesting about him, but I didn't necessarily liked him until season 2 really showed his character development and explained why he was the way he was. I fell in love with him (and of course his love story with Kate) because the season did a good job showing that he is flawed but is capable of growth and learning from his mistakes. To me that is real. In season 3 you can see that he is not the same person he was in season 1, and is now the greenest of green flags the way he is with Kate and his family. Out of anyone, I think he has the best story arc and character development.

An affair with a noble woman would have been scandalous. But if it had been with a woman like the modiste, opera singer or even a courtesan in a swanky brothel that wouldn't be scandalous once they had an Heir or two.

[@BellesView]

What was the issue with Sienna and Anthony? Could he not marry her? If that’s the case, what’s the difference between marrying her and marrying Kate who didn’t come from wealth, rank, or title?

[@lauramathews3151]

@BellesView Mostly that his father was dead and was neglecting to take a wife and produce an heir. And that he was meant to be administering his sisters matches and was not being more careful of his reputation while caretaker theirs. And that's basically it. Honestly the show blew it out of proportion. And I think I was mostly a setup for the future season. Also that's possibly part of the conflict between Sienna and Anthony. He was using the strictest standard of propriety as an excuse. He could have kept her even after marrying whether or not the wife liked it, and most people's objection would only be about the heir. Or if they were indiscreet in public.Most marriages were not love matches. The wife may be the chief complaintant but wives usually preferred a single longterm mistress at a time than brothels. Infidelity of husband's only mattered if they violated a love match or publicly humiliated the wife.

[@therealgodessisis]

​@BellesView Sienna is a prostitute. She is under Anthony's protection, they have a contract whereby he pays her bill and she makes herself available to him. Once he discarded her she looked around for another protector to take care of her bills.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Part 3: Anthony This is me defending Anthony, but not to defend him just to defend him. I like how they made him a flawed character that was grappling with his sense of duty and it affected him from maybe proposing to Sienna earlier. He felt he had to sacrifice every desire he had to be the Viscount, to protect his family. He was also placed into this role when he wasn’t ready. He even had to make the decision of whether his mother should live or the baby because that is what men had to do. I felt he did not even have time to grieve over his father. I can’t imagine that. When it came to Kate, I am so mixed on that. Bear with me. What he did to Edwina was wrong, but at first, I felt he was happy with doing so when he had that sweet conversation and he listened to her. He also bought a horse for her anxiously and had a smile on his face. Before Daphne went on her spiel, he had the biggest smile on his face and as soon as Kate’s name came up, it faded. Not justifying what they did, but that scene made no sense to me. Anyways, it always seemed that Anthony had no qualms expressing his desires for Kate and that scene in the woods where he was actually considering that he and Kate get married and tell everyone the wedding is off showed me he was willing to follow through on that. Kate, poor Kate. Every time she wished to be selfish and return his affections, someone or something made her back out on that. So Anthony felt forced to continue marrying Edwina. I hate how dragged out this is. Ugh! I felt his relationship with Kate was very complicated and dragged out. They both had a sense of duty they needed to fulfill and when they finally had sex, it was them being allowed to succumb to their feelings. I think when he woke up to see Kate gone, that was when he would have proposed and then she ran off. This was the one time in his life where he didn’t compromise someone without (lack of a better term) redeeming it. And he did propose after she woke up from the coma. She refused. The problem with season 2 was how it dragged on for almost no reason. But agree with the other reasons why he wasn’t the best love interest. And no I love Kate. Don’t get me wrong. But it was hard, at first to like their relationship because of all the unnecessary (outside Edwina) obstacles that they had to overcome.

You should include "subjective" in the title, because that's what most of the video is, really. I feel like you said a lot, but the first things you focused on with all of them was their looks, and some of the "flaws" you mentioned didn't make sense or were a highly subjective topic, like Anthony paying for Benedict to get into the school. You completely disregarding Simon because "he's not the romantic icon everyone thinks he is" is utter nonsense---noone thought that, he avoided everything and everyone, he made it perfectly clear he wasn't the romantic type. The video is riddled with such misguided opinions; and really, we're all allowed our opinions, but don't try to pass them off as facts. Also, I don't understand people liking Colin. He has always, throughout all of the seasons, been a self-centered jerk who never actually listened to anyone, least of all Penelope, he just liked hearing himself talk and making himself look good even to the detriment of others. He made that abundantly clear at the start of the third season what with all that peacocking around; why is everyone so quick to point out the littlest flaws in other characters but wave his arrogance away? He slept with whores as well, implied he did so on his travels too, but noone mentions that? He has sideburns in season 3 which you mentioned were "ugly" when describing Anthony? How contradictory can people defending him get? Too quickly you dismiss his downright insulting comments to her and others, too easily is his behaviour pardoned because "it wasn't his true self" (well guess what, he still did all those things and say all those things), and the half-assed explanation for it later in the season was so laughably stupid, especially considering were it a different character people would have already be swearing up and down that they're the spawn of devil. Is it the face and newly acquired set of abs? That'd be quite superficial, I must say, but I simply cannot see anything else that would be redeeming him of the abovementioned nonsense. Please, enlighten me.

💯💯💯 This ranking is 👎

Love can be quiet, but it can't last without passion. Francesca and John have no passion.

[@HawkeyeBrooke]

Passion fizzles. The quiet love is what actually lasts.

[@ericawolak2238]

@HawkeyeBrooke been with my husband 23 years. We can be happy just being together but we still tear each other's cloths off all the time. Passion keeps the love alive.

[@theliterarytarot]

Had to FF ahead to make sure Colin grabbed the spot he deserved ❤

[@asriabbas5439]

Colin is my favorite from first season

[@SolidGround-g5g]

Kilmartin BRINGS diversity but w/just as much Love care, honor, observant, considerate, attentive an innocently respectful novice who seen and know his spouse choice and made his claim; even more than all others thus far; Edwina is mature enough to handle her own honest matters, once learned the truth; simply because lies hurt way more.. We are giving so many different personalities and couple fits that keeps each season interesting.. 🎉

[@animaanjum1257]

The Prince in season 1 was also a great guy.

[@somyasrivastava9790]

Collin Bridegton is not a green flag! He is tropical forest ❤my man always loving and protecting his family and love

[@paracoco1761]

Out of the romantic leads, Antony is the worst. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

[@alisonhagan491]

Noooooo he's been the best ❤

[@paracoco1761]

​@@alisonhagan491How? He's been a horrible person throughout the show.

[@natyvas17]

He’s the best 😍

[@munaamakihe1148]

​@paracoco1761 He ain't the best, but definitely not the worst. Lord berbroke is the worst.

[@paracoco1761]

​@@munaamakihe1148 Berbrook was not a romantic lead.

[@emoben3393]

Benedict and John should be tied at no. 1 imo they're both walking green flags and WAY better at treating their lovers than colin. Even Anthony deserves the no.1 spot more if it we were just comparing rhe two cause Anthony ACTUALLY had character development and matured as a man and learned from his mistakes while colin remains just as childish and immature as he was in s2, add to it the jealousy and insecurity he showed in s3. He didn't even show any personality traits other than writing about his travels like?? He can't even come up with something to write about other than himself. I'm guessing he's no.1 cause he's the s3 lead? 😂😂 idk it's your opinion anyways.

[@precious7642]

Ugh I love Colin so much 😫

[@NRSBRNND]

Yall forgot the Duke's dad

[@okwut]

the way they just roast them sm 😭

[@randafarhat7635]

It’s hilarious how you rated these men according to 2024 standards. And the result ? 2 boring men and a boy man ! How convenient for the feminists of this world ! My favorite of all the seasons will be Anthony .Because he is flawed like all human beings, but he knows it . And the best part of the growth journey he went through was admitting at that to Kate at the end and realizing he has to humble himself in front of her . He struggled with the role that was thrust upon him with no choice of his own and was always being reminded of it (no pressure) and ended u with the strongest woman which most modern men are afraid to do !

[@martinadevita8342]

If you like a man who is self-centered, idiot to the point that he's willing to ruin the life of his sister and of one of his dearest friends, who has put two loving sisters against each other and almost ruined their lives too because of his stubbornness, then good for you! But some of us don't like all of that. Also we feminists don't like to be treated like shit, usually. How absurd, right? Your internalised misogyny is really embarrassing.

[@geraldinejoseph9262]

Colin has my vote❤He's my number 1.

[@asereta1879]

Colin el mejor, por supuesto. 💞

[@ValerieHammer-n6p]

Colin will always be my #1

[@JeriB-u5f]

My favorite scene will be the one playing with the croquet but in the book is soooo much better!

[@prosen8966]

There seems to be a bit of a difference in what is allowed in Colin’s flaws as compared to his brothers. I have nothing against him and I’m perfectly happy that he has a high ranking. However, he was in fact clueless for the 1st two seasons regarding his feelings for Penelope, even tho he sought her out at almost every assembly. And he made the cruelest comment about how he would never, ever court her while speaking w his peers. Admittedly, he didn’t mean for Pen to hear that but there wasn’t any reason (unless you read the book) for Colin to say this & it just seems randomly obnoxious. Furthermore, he’s clearly jealous of Pen’s writings as Lady W & immediately draws away from Pen without telling her the truth about why he’s left her side. At least in the book, he acts so much better, braver & like a man I’d wish to marry. But my is basically all of these points were mainly brushed aside as if they were nothing or of no import whereas when talking about the other brothers, their flaws were brought out and inspected in broad daylight. And for goodness sake, how on earth did Lord John Stirling and Benedict get rated below Colin? What on earth were considered flaws of either man such that they should be judged below someone with actual flaws that can be articulated? That just baffles the mind. It’s not my ranking of course, & this is JMO, but I’m at a loss as to how those two men ended up below Colin (whom I like a great deal. I just don’t like him the most.)

[@gerlindegrotzmeier9930]

I think Sir Philip Crane deserves recognition!!!

[@annjohnson6193]

Colin is my favorite then Benedict.

[@foteini467]

Farmer George deserves a higher rank let's be for real!

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Part 1 of 3. First, is anyone surprised Albion Finch is not on this list. I know he and Phillipa don’t get much screen time together, but when they do, they are objectively one of the sweetest couples on screen. They are attached to the hip because of how happy they are together. I hate that the father’s issues had to push them apart at first. And he seems to really respect her which made them having sex beautiful, to be honest. But I also felt they were on each other’s level too when it came to that. They were both equally naive when it came to that, but he didn’t pressure her to do something either. What rank? If he were on the list, 3. Sorry Bendetict. I am too biased towards Colin and John. They deserve to be 1 and 2. I am very surprised that Colin is one. Not that I am mad. I wanted to put him there, but I know so many people would have put Bendetict and John as 1 and 2 on their lists. I actually liked how objective this list is with the reasons. The only ones I would have switched was george and debling. I felt debling was very wishy washy with Penelope and Cressida and kind of led Cressida on a bit which is why I would have put him on 5 and george on 4. George was a hard one to criticize because while he should have been honest, this is something not only he wanted to hide from people, but his family did too. From a 2024 lens, it sucks that people can’t court for years or at least more than a couple months before they get married where they can trust the person enough to tell them what is going on with them. Bendetict was interesting. I felt his sexual side with people was a love language of sorts. He needed that the connection, that spark, of course, but it did not take long to gain that sexual attraction which contrasts Colin who always needed an emotional one.

[@imscanon]

I'd say the worst would have to be Simon's father.
