it actually was the abcdefu song in the beginning of the ball 😭 also i was kinda putting off watching this season bc colin and penn were both annoying me in the previous seasons (still love them though) but i love it so far

erykah

Yes I agree. I also wished they hadn’t done the two parts cause there really is no need for it esp with how part 1 is being received but I hope part two is better!

Terri

Agreed. And Polin is my favorite couple of the bunch. But I didn't like this season. They aren't really focusing on the main couple much and as a result, their storyline feels rushed. Colin's change in attitude happened so fast that it was like whiplash. We didn't get to see much between him going from never thinking of Pen that way to what happens at the end of episode four. So...yeah.

Julie Carter

Didn’t you see the part when he was talking to the guys and he said don’t you get tired of doing this!

LeAnna

Don’t know how I missed this notification but I’m so excited to see yalls reactions to this season!! 🩵

Sasha simone

me af 😭 he was doing too much this ep

emma

i cant breathe they reacted to colin's wink like it was a jumpscare LMAO

jaselle

they’re doing it on purpose , everybody knows that colin was never like that, hes not a flirt , its an act so he can fit into society and he’s trying to be like his brothers 😭 hes putting up a front thats why lady whistledown shaded him

sandrinegeller

Yeah I can't put my finger on exactly why, but the vibes are just off this season. The magic from the first two seasons feels gone

sandrinegeller

Yeah it makes sense if it is just an act, but I feel like they did a bad job making that clear then. As far as we see, he seems to enjoy this weird new stuff he is doing (up until that point he doesn't). Feels like they could've added in more moments where his mask drops and we see how much he doesn't enjoy this stuff but we never really see it or when we do it is so brief that you aren't really sure if that's even what is happening

Sydney

I’m Tired this is exactly what I was coming here to say! Pen as Whistledown clocks him for it immediately, even if it was out of spite, and it also serves as a contrast for how he acts around Pen vs. other women. I also feel they touch on this eventually, but I won’t say more than that here because spoilers! 😊

i really like this season and cant wait to watch yalls reactions

Tabitha V

I have loved this season so far. I know not everyone has felt the same but rewatching the episodes really made me understand everything they were doing. I cannot wait for part 2

Tabitha V

Yes! I’m so glad you said this. Not everyone has realized that

Mariya Pratt

He’s not really like this… that’s why he got so upset when lady Whistledown called him out on it! It’s exaggerated and out of place because it’s all a front to cover up who he is! We the audience see right through this fake suave rakey persona.

jaselle

me too but i honestly think part 2 will be better

Tamara Kohek

Thank you for such a quick upload, really appreciate all the work you put in to give us content 😄 I hope you guys enjoy these 4 episodes ☺️

I’m Tired

when i first watched it i also felt like colins character was a bit off and those pickup lines were beyond cringey but after thinking about it a little I feel like it comes off as cringey purposefully because it's not really him, like how they hinted throughout the episode that he's changed and it's so obvious to the people who are close to him. He's sort of wearing a mask and has adopted a new persona, most likely as some kind of response to the rejection he recieved from both previous seasons. Thinking back to when Marina Thompson straight up told him he was still a little boy, he probably felt he had to grow up quicker and appear more manly and flirtatious instead of the kind charm he had previously. He's pretending and that's how it comes off upon second watch, like he's not quite sure what he's doing

erykah

wasn’t really feeling this season as much as the previous ones so far but looking forward to your reactions

Terri

Well, in the book he is clearly a rake. However, the show had bad writing with regards to his storyline. They give a few throwaway lines about him being popular/flirty but they never SHOW us. What we do see of Colin in the show is him being naive, a little bumbling, and kind. They forgot to SHOW he was a rake and instead showed us the exact opposite. The first rule of storytelling is show don't tell. That's why Colin seems so out of character. They made him take on the book persona. And that also doesn't fit the actor very well. He is much more in line with how they portrayed him in season 1 and 2. So the answer is terrible writing and directing!

desx

dang ya'll are fasttt

bateman bookworm

I told myself I would watch with you guys but after this watch along I binged the rest 😭.....I don't mind rewatching tho

jaselle

luke newton is fineee

sandrinegeller

Flirting and being charming is not being a rake. Being a rake is having multiple threesomes with sex workers and gossiping with friends over all the women he slept with on his travels abroad. And yeah his book character was a bit of a rake but it just does not fit the actor/show version of colin they created. That's just my opinion though so I get it that some people disagree

dj

he has always been a rake lol. in the book he was even the rake of the town. and in season one he even said that he cant be mad at lady thompson for liking someone else cause he has flirted with half of the ton

Lauren Christian

Some of these pickup lines need to chill

sandrinegeller

Yeah like no hate to the actor because I think the writers did him dirty, but those scenes where he is trying to be suave and flirty are so cringy to me. It just does not fit his personality that we have seen the past two seasons at all. Like why build him up for years just to change him so much for his season? Men don't need to be womanizing rakes to be good love interests. He could've just stayed the same guy and it would've been way more romantic in my opinion

Meera ☾

agreed. it does feel a bit unnatural

sandrinegeller

I am confused by why they made Colin's character like this. Idk it feels so weird. Why does he need to become a rake too? It doesn't fit him. He was more fun as the friendly nice guy from the previous seasons

Michelle

Great reaction!! I love hearing all of your thoughts/opinions. I truly love the friends to lovers trope so I can see this season being my favorite. I am also so happy that we got so much of Kate and Anthony this episode, it's so nice to see them just being happy. So excited for you guys to see the rest of part 1!!

bella

yess colin got that bridgerton makeover and looks sooo good

Cristy

"His shirt's already off and we're not even 10 minutes in." Haha, Rob. Francesca is just such a darling, I have a new fave. Great reaction, guys, and fast too!

lilly

is it just me or is colin sooooooo incredibly attractive this season 👀

AK

Great reaction! Love this season so much, bummed we have to wait for the second half. Lol Rob, the 'fake relationship to falling in love' trope was season 1!
