First of all, your chemistry and contrasting interests make for a great discussion. During the Ep 3&4 cast I was genuinely howling while listening and talking back to you both as if we were in the same room!

I love Konner’s abbreviated recaps — so funny! I especially got a kick out of how much Rae was like WHO CARES THATS DUMB DONT EVEN TALK TO ME ABT BENEDICT EVERYTHING IS CHEAP! And then at the end you all started talking about her fascination with all things production and I was like Oooohhhhhh I see.

Because I tend to be more of a viewer like Konner. I expect little and just want to go on the (balloon) ride. I did notice some weird production-y looking things but nothing on the level you were talking about. Just more like is that green screen or I can tell that’s a styrofoam wall which I find distracting but I also forget about it as soon as there’s a zoom to Colin’s tortured face.

Anyway, I am totally digging Colin this season, and he’s always been my least favorite B boy. Now I know why. Because he was always sort of fake and boring — but that was the point. Anyway, I love the change once he kisses Pen. Because he’s so very smarmy up til then. After that he’s just a pathetic lovesick simp. A+ character development!

I am foaming at the mouth for Part 2 and I agree 💯 that it’s annoying to split the drop. It’s entirely because Netflix wants to force ppl to subscribe for 2 months. 🙄

Thanks for entertaining me!

Hi! It’s Rae, and I have to thank you so much for this amazing ask. It’s giving old school Tumblr vibes from when we fans used to be a community and go screaming into each other’s blogs on the regular. Thrilled that you stopped by with your abridged novella; please feel free to really unleash the next time you have the urge. I’m so, so happy you’re enjoying the pod and 😂-ing at the thought of you talking back at us while you listen. For me, this season of Bridgerton has been such a strange ride so far (nothing like how I experienced the first two) that I’m glad the podcast gives me a reason to hang with it. Konner keeps sending me stuff about part two, and I’m starting to get a *little* excited about the back half. But trust that I will continue to side-eye them for any production shenanigans. 😃 Thank you for listening, following, and letting us know you’re having fun with us. xo

MJ - this is adorable, I am happy to do one of each for you! Thank you for being here! 💕

Awwww! First of all, take deep breaths in and out of your nose. Also maybe tell Scott how nervous you are. He likes to put people at ease it seems! ��

Many thanks.

oh my god its funny you say this because there is an ENTIRE documentary that sort of revolves around this premise cause you are NOT alone!! i only really knew who he was because i worked in a record store for awhile and the manager recommended me the doc.

We did it! A mere 17 months later, we finally closed the page on Bridgerton's third season with our coverage of episodes six, seven, and eight. We had a good time there towards the end - in spite of our alternating misgivings about the season overall. Hope you enjoy!
