The secret is out!! | Bridgerton Season 3 Episode 6 Reaction

[@laurajohnson833]

Historian here! That scene in the church was their banns being read. It happens three times, once a week, to give anyone with an objection to the match a chance to say something publicly.

[@MeredithHagan]

This! It helped to prevent public embarrassment or dramatic “speak now” moments during the actual ceremony (think Jane Eyre). They did it weeks in advance because communication was slow.

They way you knew deep down in your soul Colin was going to follow Penelope and be there in the shadows, but you still freaked out when he appeared is so hilarious 😂🤣😭. I didn’t see it coming myself, so I practically jumped out my skin 😆.

To answer your question about why Collin uses his right hand to write even though Luke is lefthanded is because lefthanded children were trained to use their right hands. Even as recent as the 1960's, lefthandedness was seen as a sign of illness or the work of the devil.

Also just in the mechanics of writing with a quill in the pages of a bound journal, the brush of the left hand and wrist moving across the previously-written lines as one goes along could smear or blot the damp ink pretty badly, so it could have been more practical in that regard to learn to switch to a right-handed penmanship with a quill. Colin uhhhh definitely uses his dominant left hand in the E5 scene on the chaise but that could also be for visibility the way the back of the chaise blocks his right hand side.

12:52 In S3E6, just as Eloise walks into the study, you can catch Colin switching from using the quill with his left hand.

Lady Tilly and her friend were looking for a hot third and they immediately saw Benedict and were like “yup target acquired” and I love that for them.

[@thewatchaholic]

🤣

[@michellebarry1555]

I agree…probably the sweetest scene of this season. I wish we had more scenes showing them happy together. Oh and btw…I’m still obsessed with your Disney hoodie! 😉. I’ve searched online for it to no avail.

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

i didnt expect this at all, cuz i literally was screaming after episode 5 "idc about Portia or the featheringtons, f them" but im really enjoying the character development of Portia and her relationship with Pen

Hello Miss Watchaholic! I’m probably overstepping, but I saw myself a lot in you the first time I watched Season 3. Elated by Part 1 and utterly stressed out of my mind in Part 2. So much so in fact that I had such a hard time watching ep 7 & 8 and ended feeling anxious for days afterwards. Because I love Pen so much but was pissed at the editing choices, pissed on behalf of the actors, pissed at the hollow feeling ending, pissed that everyone else was pissed, and was mostly pissed with Colin’s behavior. I have a sneaking suspicion you ended your watch feeling the same way. Let me just say that the show has now been out for a week, I calmed the freak down, rewatched the episodes again with more grace towards Colin (with the help of some Reddit deep dives and KZbin reaction videos) and ultimately fell back in love with Colin and this season. The comment novel all to say that I hope you’re well, hope that you ultimately come to love this season (despite its imperfections) because for some of us it just takes a little time to fall in love - feel betrayed - and fall even deeper in love with it again. Much like Colin. ❤

[@thewatchaholic]

awww your too sweet, you aren't overstepping. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I did in the end genuinely really like the season. Season 2 i think is still my favourite, but Season 3 is neck and neck with it. I fell in love with polin and that to me made me happy because I was worrited about the season at first and if I was gonna feel the chemistry and the love after Colin being so blind for so long, but in the end end I LOVED THEM.

09:06 These are the posting of the bans of marriage--it was required by law that an engagement be announced in church a certain number of Sundays prior to a legal, correct wedding. There were ways around this, mostly by going to Scotland where the laws were a little bit different. Something this series simply ignores (like it does the Napoleonic Wars). 10:50 And that scene would not work without the earlier moments with the bans being posted. It required build-up.

[@GotLostProductions]

Yeah, the Special License issued by a bishop was a way around the banns that wasn’t eloping, and basically meant you A) didn’t have to call the banns/wait three Sundays, and B) could have the wedding ceremony outside of a church and at any time of day. (Church weddings had to take place in the morning, hence the practice of wedding breakfasts as a reception-type event after the ceremony.) Very few special licenses were actually granted on average and they were comparatively expensive/status symbols, (Mrs. Bennet wants Darcy and Elizabeth to have one just for the expense of it all but fails to see that a rushed wedding is all the more scandalous given the family’s recent issues with Lydia and reading the banns is a public way of demonstrating that there is no NEED for haste or privacy and this match is entirely respectable,) but they’re used a LOT for quickie weddings in historical romance, haha. John and Fran get one just so they can avoid being gawked at in church, which is fair for them-churches are public buildings and anyone who wants to attend a church wedding ceremony just to watch theoretically COULD, if there’s room for them inside. After Fran’s sparkler disaster I can fully see why she doesn’t want a public wedding at ALL.

[@chiquitacyborg]

It looks like they broke one of the chaise🛋️lounge’s legs during the *”MIRROR🪞SCENE”*

[@thewatchaholic]

Oh yea...it was huge thing! Get it my friends...sell iit ! haha

[@thewatchaholic]

Watchaholics?! What did you think of Episode 6? Comment down below.

[@Key2MyHeart]

At least when my mom was growing up (she was born in 1970) they taught people to write with their right hand and didn't want them to write with their left... she was going to be a lefty until she was taught to he a righty

[@oksanaml9279]

It's so much fun watching this with you. I have an idea - what if you chose your favourite outfit if each episode at the end of your video?

[@brooklynparkse]

Your editing is so funny.

[@thewatchaholic]

glad you are enjoying it! haha!

[@garlantyrell6368]

Cressida’s parents may be horrible but at least her mom is more supportive and caring than her dad in a way. At least she was willing to help Cressida out when she could’ve left her to write on her own.

[@navyamunjal610]

I say this very endearingly, but Colin Bridgerton is everything good except being smart! Lovely man, but a slightly dumb romantic writer!

[@sheilaellis124]

I always took it as him trusting Pen and being so in love with her and had her on a pedestal plus he truly could not see Pen as someone he hated (LW). I guess he's stupid in love 😅

[@michaelbriefs9764]

You're complaining is a bit much. I'm out.

[@thewatchaholic]

so sorry you felt that way.
