Bridgerton 3x1 Reaction! - "Out of the Shadows" 

He doesn't really knows what she wants. He's that dense, because they grew up together so he doesn't see her feelings are romantic. Penelope looking like a million bucks. And so is Colin, the actor is very handsome. Colin is basically trying to be what he is not, he's not this womanizer and Pen ( LW) called him out because he doesn't need to pretend to be like his brother but be his sensitive self. Pen and Colin are giving so much chemistry! I've rewatched the 4 episodes of the season already.

My theory is that he never changed before because he was in contact with Penelope and deep down he was satisfied romantically. But because Penelope didn’t write him this time he was feeling like something was missing and therefor went looking for it in other women👀

17:22 I really love how Penelope's brother in law is happy for her!

Colin winking is SO GROSS 🤣 He's a sweet lil gempmum, he should not be acting like a rake. This is him trying to be somebody else.

I'm living for Philippa and Mr Finch this season. My favorite bit in this episode is when he looks up at Penelope on the stairs and just beams about her getting her moment. Just a genuinely nice guy and Philippa seems so genuinely happy with him. They're adorable. I hope they just eat cheese and pastries together and have lots of baby finches.

I saw the notification and literally screamed “Penelope!“, that way you say it. Haha. Excited for this!

I agree with you about 90% on the whole Penelope-Eloise blow up. But I think you've given Eloise a little too much credit... from the beginning she kind of drove me crazy because she's so set in her way of viewing things that she can't fathom other people seeing them differently. So she then dismisses or belittles anything they say that doesn't align with what she assumes they should want/think. Accusing Daphne of maintaining a perpetual pretense because she can't fathom her sister not being as terrified of childbirth as she is- so it must all be an act. Insisting that Marina's love coming home and marrying her would be the worst thing that could happen to her, simply because Eloise sees marriage as a dead end. Assuming that Penelope is as uninterested in love and marriage as she is, because she can't imagine otherwise. It's amazing and wonderful that she's so strong and confident in her opinions, but she holds them in a way that doesn't invite anyone to disagree or differ. She doesn't exactly make it safe for Penelope to be vulnerable about things. I can't imagine Penelope ever feeling safe to share her feelings for Colin with her, even if he wasn't her brother. And with her shifting (and sometimes harshly expressed) views of Lady Whistledown, I can imagine it being hard for Pen to admit to that, too. None of this is said to excuse all that Penelope did. Like I said, I generally agree with what you said. But Eloise didn't make it easy for her to come clean. She could definitely have been a better friend

I love the Kate swooning 😊

Bath is a town on England’s coast that members of the Ton often had homes at. There was a smaller social circle there, including I believe a Bath short season when the London season had finished but can’t say for certain. So when Violet laments to Francesca that she’s only been back from Bath for one week, she means she had been living in the town of Bath before returning to Bridgerton House. Hope hay helps clear it up.

The song choice for Penelope's big reveal is amazingly hilarious. Yeah, Colin, eff you. Get your head in the game.

I haven't read Francesca's book and the show could change her character anyway, so I don't know. But my impression of her from this episode is that she's simply an introvert who's happier staying at home with her music than she is going out in society. Looking forward to the next reaction!

BRO THE SHIRT 🤩 Pen is also my number one girl on this show since season 1. I'm so stoked you're the first reaction channel I follow that got to this. I need to see what other people think about every aspect of this to tide me over this torturous wait for the last 2 eps... Feels so incomplete (because it literally is).

I was waiting for your reaction to hear you saying Pen-a-lope again! 🤣 As for your comment about Francesca: I feel she is just so practical and completely used to being focused on what she's really into: Music. She doesn't believe that having a love match is the norm, so she's just making her way into the marriage mart and doing her best, which in her case, can be a bit of a struggle, since she can get overwhelmed in social settings and for someone like her to find someone who understands her at least one bit, can be quite difficult too. But I'm pretty sure we'll get much more of her story in the rest of the series.

Love watching your Bridgerton reactions!! Bath is a city that Fran disappeared to go visit her aunt and uncle during the season

Oh, so happy to hear the familiar ring of Pen-a-Lope. LOL I have missed hearing it!

One thing that bothers me about the end of their relationship is that Eloise actually broke into Penelope’s room and dug out her newsletters. No matter what She didn’t have the right to invade her friends privacy so drastically. She was wrong to do that no matter what the reasoning.

I do agree that Penelope’s actions were unwise but in her defense she was protecting a friend from the crown…was it a brutal way to do so yes but she did get the Queen permanently off her back due to her actions..I just think folks give pen a hard time for her actions but not Eloise the same energy…Eloise should not have been with Theo but she did…people were bound to find out about it and gossip so all Pen did was bring the gossip to the papers which is technically her job as Lady Wisledown…I think Pen’s biggest mistake was not telling Eloise sooner about being Lady Wisledown.. so I do agree with you on that front but Eloise should not have seen Theo so many times if her goal was to avoid gossip and slander..I think Pen choose herself in a way but at the same time wanted to protect Eloise…she could have easily came forward as Lady Wistledown but she wanted her cake and to eat it too…she wanted her friendship with Eloise to be unshaken while also protecting her identity as Lady Wistledown…she wanted both and Eloise figured it out…I think in this season she will have to choose between a happy life with Colin and the Bridgertons or a life of gossip as Lady Wistledown. I love your reactions and I am excited to watch season 3 🖤 maybe she will reveal herself to everyone in the ton..who’s knows excited for part 2 also I do agree pen’s response to Eloise during their fight was comical and gaslighty but in her defense…this is like her life’s work..being Lady Wistledown of course she is not going to just willingly and easily give up her secret..I do agree with your take but I sympathize with Pen as well.

I have to say Colin`s hair is on point.

PEN-A-LOPE!! I say that on a regular basis because of you! Lol she is also my favorite character. I believe she deserves better than what she's always had. So I will give her a little leeway on doing dumb stuff. Lol

Yeees ❤❤ It's back and I'm so excited that I didn't have to wait too long for your reaction. Peneloap rocks!

“Penelope” lol

There is no way pen could convince the Queen with something to get eloise out of that problem but with a scandal that was 100/ successful people should know that what hurts eloise the most is that pen hide that secret of her being lady whistledown from her

Seriously, read "Romancing Mr. Bridgerton" because it allows you to love Penelope without all the iffy stuff that they added for the show.

Penelope and Colin were my one of my favourite couple from bridgerton. Colin doesn’t know she’s LW and I hope he finds out in part two

I really enjoy watching reactions from men to film and shows typically focused at females, especially when you are so engrossed with the characters and the story. Very much enjoying your reactions to this season and agree with a lot of your speculations and opinions, so I decided to subscribe. I haven’t read the books and I don’t know what is to come, but I’ve heard a lot of talk that Francesca seems to be a neurodivergent character (so you’re probably spot on), and I’m curious what they do with her story.

Oh he will find out.

I do feel like Francesca is on the spectrum. Mild, maybe some Asperger's or just mild autism. The noise bothering her was my first clue, but there's others. She could just be very introverted, but I do feel it's more than that. I'm excited to see what your thoughts are on the rest of season 3. I did read the books, but prefer the show for this series. I've been waiting for this season for years. I'm glad you're still doing this series! I started watching when you did When of Time reaction videos. I had never watched a TV show reaction video before, only book reactions/reviews. Very fun and helps me get past my book and TV show hangovers! Thanks!

I love your reactions! It’s refreshing to watch a straight man react in a way that men do!!! It’s a laugh I need… Thanks!😊

I bet they do have a new zebra every year, because they probably have babies.

Have you watched The Gilded Age? I have watched the previous 2 seasons of this show, and frankly in my opinion this show is a tepid reflection of the Gilded Age. Like Downton Abbey it showcases both the upper and the servant classes. You mention that you enjoy watching these types of shows. I strongly suggest you give it a try.

Thank you, Derek! 🦢 Tricia Brock directed this episode.

Penne-lope is gonna be pregoonenant very soon 😂

I know this is very random, but you have very pretty eyelashes ..😂 love the reaction😌

Penelope vs eloise take its kinda weird to me, and i don't think of penelope as this person that can do no wrong, she is flawed,but cmon its so surface level to take eloise side completely. Penelope has been bullied the whole time shes being in the ton, by her peers , not only ,that but everyone in her home she's overlooked, underestimate,under appreciated and openly even mistreated (isolating and ignoring someone is also abusive). Even her mom think and says openly the only good thing about her is that she's gonna end up alone so she can take care of her. Cressida and her friends laugh openly at her and literally humiliate her every chance she got on the balls -and i totally think she should stand up for herself but with that family backstory its pretty common to not have a backbone/Hyde away and just bottle it up. And even tho eloise take her away to avoid cressida in previous seasons, her actitude its so passive considering shes literally part of the IT family, in a society that is so interested in status she could have help her, they would've listen, the lieral proof is showed this season cressida does listen to her and i loooove eloise but girl, your best friend father died and u were more worried about lady whistledown? You didn't check on her at all just when she openly cried(?) And u just assumed it was that. What bothers me is that she had so much admiration for this stranger woman, but when she realized it was her friend just saw the negative aspect of it, id get mad at her too for the lie but she took it way too far, it was pretty self absorbed. And TBH Penelope is not even that bad, if I had the power she had I'd do way more damage lol in this society everyone gossips about everyone she just have a plataform, she's just a reflection of their environment but she's the one to hate? Like I get it sucks as a close friend but them aren't as personal as they believe they are lol Penelope deserves to make mistakes sorry if the mistake was to try to keep something loved and personal from your best friend, and have to take a harsh decision after many many manyyyy times she warned you so eloise head literally doesn't get cut off, next time totally let her take the fault so she gets to sleep forever in heaven or In prison for being a traitor to the royals😅

Love your video and interpretation. Great job 👏

Yay. So excited for ur reactions

Love this reaction ❤ Can wait for the others

Somebody did a thread of all the times Eloise was a good friend. She took the lead in conversations because Penelope wanted it that way also. But I have to say that I think finding Theo and the women's rights group was a positive thing for Eloise. However, even if Penelope inadvertently caused this, she is also the one who cut her off from it, and I will never agree that this was Penelope's only option. Yeah, of course they are going to make up at some point. I would probably be doing a mystery called "The Murder of Lady Whistledown" if I had written myself into this corner, but that's not _Bridgerton._ Interesting enough so far.

your shirt may be black but the flag is GREEN 🙌

I've seen several autistic people online relating to Francesca. I won't comment on the sexuality question. We'll see.

It was nice to see some disability representation in this season. It’s a shame it’s with such minor characters.

Lets go!!! ❤️🔥

I love your reactions im waiting for your next Bridgerton reaction

like your shirt

Loved your reaction as always❤. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

Your eyes are so pretty!!👀

Have you watched Dead Boy Detectives

If Colin does not feel anything romantic toward Penelope at this point, that's too damn bad for her. She didn't have an excuse to attack him like she did in her toxic "Lady Whistledown" gossip sheet. Colin wasn't anything wrong. He was simply being another partygoer at a high society party, engaging in light conversation and flirtation. I suspect Penelope's hostile reaction to his flirting had more to do with her own anger at his previous comments about not wanting to marry her and her jealousy at his ability to hob knob with other guests with such ease and a lot of light wit. Then again, Penelope can be a very vindictive woman, as she has proven in the past and in this episode.
