Just Me

This is sparked because I saw recently one of my fave interviews of them when they’re being interviews by than man sorry don’t remember his name but it’s the one with the Lady Whistleballs and Luke fishing for compliments after Nicola said the stretchy pants for Colin’s pulling the balloon scene looked good in person. The interview where they confirmed she buys him t shirts and then REACHED over and pulled on his shirt collar while saying “NOTHING I HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE” and they both just smile and laugh. What? Like there is zero hesitancy to them physically touching one another!

To the point even NOW she almost kicks Luke in the actual face with her heels and all he does is laugh like the level of trust and comfortability that has to be established for someone to not automatically shift or move like people c’mon. lol.

Remember when that Canadian interviewer who was into astrology said they meaning Luke and Nicola (NOT Colin and Penlope ) match each others freaks and they just nod like yup. Sorry just had to get that out lol 😂 because it’s STILL insane

Or how about this one? Remember when Nicola and Tooch both posted charities on the same day and Luke only shared Nicola’s?

Now Hannah was also an online queen, but she’s vanished. When they say it takes over your life being the season lead - I believe them! Where has she gone?

Maybe no one wants the level of frenzy S3 generated??

Seasons 1 to 3 and QC the cast dynamic was different, and I dare say Nicola also carried some of the sm bts for seasons 1 and 2. QC the cast all worked together to hype the season outside of normal promo and press junkets. Since Nicola and Luke are no longer the leads, it's like the sm activity just died with their limited posts.

There's no group chat for season 4, when asked, Yerin and Luke T said they didn't engage one and I gather that they probably just didn't care to do one. Nicola created chats for previous seasons and kept them engaged. I still remember her bts video of the eggs she had on set in her trailer from season 2 and the Luke pics she posted of his hair, the pics of her when they removed wigs and makeup. Season 3 had so much going against them apart from online hate, they had the strikes, filming delays, release delays, remnants of covid etc and still outperformed season 4 and 2. I honestly cannot remember anything from season 4 other than Luke Claudia and Hannah's interview with the fanpage question. I am choosing to forget everything related to the one day of promo with Nic because of that fuck ass question about their season they made them read.

And benophies could bitch in the comments but Luke and Yerin they are good actors, they worked hard, but they are also dry biscuit vibe kinda people. Claudia, Luke and Nicola all showed their goofy ass personalities for season 3 promo which a lot of the fandom and GA enjoyed. Nobody is checking for season 4 to rewatch it, the other seasons including QC had uptake in their rewatch while season 4 aired.

Bottom of the barrel at this point. Hopefully they do something different for season 5.

Maybe they will prove me wrong but I'm going based on what they show. I get a kind of lazy vibes from both of them. Again I'm saying this based on observation, it may or may not be that for them.

I feel like something is coming especially considering Deadline were the ones to post the article 🤔☺️

Thank you @loocija for sending me the new reel from the Dish podcast that dropped today 🫶💛

In this video Nic is asked about what is the perfect tea time….she gives her answer….but then goes on to explain about Brazil, jet lag and how we do dinner“

👀 so Nic who is we? Huh 💛

If you want to listen to full reel here it is

one, when Miss Stowell corners Benedict into a dance but Colin can’t be convinced by any of the other ladies to get on the floor (even when they overtly try after the balloon rescue), and

two, when Will Mondrich makes that comment about “one dance and you’ve signaled you are available”.

Colin was completely genuine in his disinterest in the marriage mart this season and stood on business by explicitly refusing to dance with anyone outright. Which means, in the previous seasons, he totally understood what dancing with Penelope would look like, and he did it anyway. (Because he loved her already and didn’t mind the insinuation, obvs.)

In fact, the only time he gets on the dance floor before getting engaged is to interrupt Penelope and Debling — another subtle signal that he was thrusting himself into the marriage mart, but only if it was going to be with Penelope. Not to mention, man couldn’t stop dancing the very second he was engaged to her.

Anyway, my point is, Colin’s been in love with Pen forever and to them, dancing is a far more intimate an act than it has been to any other couple and I love them for it.

After all the hate and spite that Nic, Luke and Polin Stan’s got from Benophie, it is plain to see that even they did not watch their season. S3 brought back the viewers after season 2 and now there is a big decline. I hope for S5 there may be something but …. I am holding out for Eloise season 🫶

Polin Stan 4 Eva

Over the last few days, I’ve seen a couple of blog posts revisiting old Blinds, and I’d completely forgotten about the SAG Awards “mirror” blind!

Seeing that Blind immediately reminded me that Nicola wasted absolutely no time dropping into TT to defend her man 😂😂

And that reminded me of this perfect little bit of meme brilliance, because if Luke was supposedly spending the whole night looking in the mirror… well…

After more than two years in this fandom, I’m convinced we’ve collectively documented every wink, glance, and accidental confirmation imaginable 😜

and all due to his talent and resemblance to pierce brosnan (a former 007).

Like the fondness, the gentleness, the humor, the love all in his expression. Somehow he made my least favorite line the sweetest one.
