What a Barb! Episode 47 - What a Race Against Time! [Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 Trailer Reaction] 

I want Pitbull at a clip of Polin's wedding.... Pitbull's back is facing the camera as Polin kisses as husband and wife. The beat drops, Pitbull turns around, lowers his sunglasses, half-smiles and winks.

No one knows about Pen’s life with her family, how miserable they treated her and that hidden sadness….he will forgive her Whistledown because of this.

My own personal head cannon is that after discovering Pen is LW Colin goes to speak to the mums. Pen thinks he's going to call the wedding off but in reality he's gone to push the wedding forward to protect her should she be discovered. He's all shocked that she'd think he would leave her, thus Polin against the world begins proper

"Hes already ruined whistledown he just doesnt know it yet" 😂😂😂😂

I want the line "home is Penelope" What a Barb can write a ficcie on AO3

Danbury offers a 1k in the book. Queen offers $5k. According to a money calculator $5,000 in 1820 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $133,994.87 today, an increase of $128,994.87 over 204 years.

The tilted filming angle being used at the full moon ball and when pen enters the Bridgerton drawing room is called a Dutch angle. It is often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed.

Heard it on spotify!!!! And thanks a lot for not spoiling the entire plot beforehand (like some others)

Pride and prejudice style double wedding would be so lovely (Fran doesn’t want the spotlight and Colin is in a hurry, so small wedding makes sense)

Who knows if this is correct, but for what it's worth, an online currency calculator shows: £5,000 in 1810 is worth £492,061.21 today.

Tears of laughter re Pitbull catalogue.... It's going down, it's going timber! Solid gold laughs. My family are looking at me weird but from Australia I have shared this moment with you Lolz

I think part of Cressida's reasoning is because she thinks to herself "well, I'll either get the money and not have to marry my dad's friend; or my dad's friend will not want to marry me because of the scandal". Well, and for the money.

I think Colin is going to do a remix of the going to talk to Daphne scene after he finds her at the printers. But he's going to talk to kate and Anthony who will talk him off the ledge. 😂

I swear.. I look forward to your podcasts almost as much as Bridgerton itself. Wonderful fun.😄🐝 Thank you ladies! x

Luke has referenced a scene where he is supposed to be angry and yelling and he ended up crying as he was so emotional. I think it is his reaction to finding out Pen is Lady W.

Maaaaam the way I clicked at the speed of sound!!!

Loved this and the predictions of all these potential beautiful moments! Love the running away to the country and Colin following her. I hope that Pen goes to her mother and her mother actually steps up and takes her away to the country. It would be so good to see her supporting her somehow.

I'm not sure if it's a theory or just something my delulu brain wants, but I think after Colin finds out about Pen's LW identity at the end of ep 6, that it's going to be Eloise helping him reconcile that Pen, the love of his life, and Lady Whistledown, someone who he currently despises, is the same person throughout ep 7. And in doing that, Eloise will forgive/or open herself up to forgiving Pen. Things I want to happen regarding the finale of season 3: - Pen and Eloise rekindle their friendship, or at least start to - Lady Whistledown's identity is NOT revealed to the ton and she keeps writing (+ maybe some Lord Whistledown) - confirmation that season 4 is Benedict's

Would she pass the torch to Eloise? Or the Queen. It was $1000 from Lady Danbury but Cressida blackmails Pen for $10 000....in the book

lady d's bounty in the book was 1000 pounds wasn't it? 🤣 10 thou was what cressida was trying to blackmail pen for i think!

Colin is in a hurry, they are going to be by themselves.🎉🎉

I have a theory what if in episode 8 pen reveals as lw to queen with bridgertons and ton does not know and queen tells her to continue writing only knowing her now.😅

I’m going to miss these days when the season is all out, I clicked so fast!!

Argh... fine... I will listen a second time 😉🤣💛

Did I just listen to this on Amazon yes…did I then turn around and click into this a fast as possible…also yes.

Pen only has 3 years of income vs. 10 years in the book

Sunday tea! I am dying!!! ❤

Lechi- I ALWAYS tear up when I see John and Fran together. My husband thinks I'm nuts (but perhaps that is another issue entirely)!

You all always make me so happy!

Another carriage scene….OMG.

Since Luke Newton said Colin takes the reveal of LW's true identity the hardest, I suspect that Polin spend E7 apart (their engagement may even be broken). Thanks for another great episide (especially the day after recirding 3.5 hours for your previous one).

I despise Shondaland for having Pen keep Lady W a secret from Colin while they're engaged. DESPISE THEM. The best we can hope now is that the actual "I love you" maybe with the assuredly, fervently, loudly callback, is after he finds out. I think another sex scene after he finds out feels kind of necessary too now. I really hope you all are right about the wedding being end of ep 7. The title does make sense for it. Really eager to finally hear your block 4 part 2 ep to hear about the Polin wedding!

I follow polin commentary everywhere and I have yet to see anyone speak to Eloise’s role in the break up with Pen. Pen didn’t write about Eloise for no reason. She was trying to save her and the Bridgertons. So she wrote a piece, close enough to the true scandal that was about to come out about Eloise, and bad enough to dissuade the Queen from ruining the entire family but not bad enough to ruin E entirely, which the truth would have. Did she handle it great? no, she should have told Eloise and let them solve it together, but she wasn’t a maniacal monster intent on destroying her best friend. I desperately want Eloise to have some accountability to this in part 2.

Lechi, I'm right there with you sobbing over Frohn, especially last ep when one of y'all said something about the silence becoming unbearable for Fran, I was not okay. I'm also with y'all in that there are certain scenes I didn't want to happen without Colin knowing about Whistledown. I think the only way I'll be able to get behind it, is if she's like, I would never withhold this information from you in order to trap you. I just didn't know how to tell you and I was scared, but if you don't want anything to do with me after this, I understand. And then like y'all said, he'd have a moment where he's like, no I'm upset, but we're a team, we're gonna deal with this. I feel like what makes having Whistledown hanging over their heads so painful is how similar it is to the Marina situation, especially knowing in the books how Colin's like, "It was clever of you to release the LW issue at our engagement, when you knew I wouldn't leave you." I just need a moment where Pen's like, I'm not trying to deceive you in the way Marina did and he's like, I know that this is different than that. And I need it to be in a way that is still compassionate towards Marina, showing how they both have grown from S1 and see that situation differently. I hate whenever I see people in the fandom who are like, "Marina's a horrible person" and Pen also gets a lot of that hate too. They are both flawed human beings, who've made mistakes and were just trying to do the best they could in the situations they were in and they hurt people in the process, but they can and do grow from it. However this all plays out, I just want it to ultimately honor all the characters involved and not feed into those takes. I know people will continue to have those opinions regardless and it is what it is, I just don't want to feel like the narrative is pushing me to take sides, if that makes sense? Who knows, maybe they won't even bring Marina into it and I'm worried for nothing lmao. In regards to Colin potentially coming around to Pen being Lady Whistledown and being the one to tell her she shouldn't stop writing. It'd be really cool for him to have a moment where he goes down that list of things she said her purpose would be last season and he's like, "Pen this ticks all those boxes for you, you can't give this up." The double points of encouraging her to keep pursuing her dreams, but also he memorized that speech word for word because the little dummy was in love with her this whole time and he didn't even know it 😂 Also, the "You're my mess" line better be in part two and I better see some fan edits of it set to the second verse of Dancing With Our Hands Tied by Taylor Swift. I will be devastated if that doesn't happen.

❤❤❤❤ oh my goodness, I love y'alls commentary, it is so joyous

Dear gentle podcasters thank you so much for being so considerate with us listeners about the spoilers 🙏 I am specifically avoiding them, I want to keep most of the discovery for when I get to watch the episodes. I don't want the feeling of surprise to be toned down because I'd know things already. But I love listening to your predictions! For the life of me I cannot endure a full trailer. The agony of having to wait for the release is already enough. This teaser is fine. I can't deal with more, because if there is more, I will want to watch it and I'll go insane as it doesn't change the fact that I still have to wait nonetheless and worse I'll have even more questions in mind... Gosh I already sound deranged ! 🤪🤯 If the mirror scene really happens before Colin knows she is Whistledown I will be a bit disappointed. The scene will still be beautiful I have no doubt about it but... I really want it to happen when they are on equal foot and know all of each other. The scene would then be all the more meaningful and impactful. I'm still holding onto my rope of hope and delusion, against the high winds, I believe we'll get a love scene in ep 5 and the real mirror scene later after the two have come to terms with the whistledown affair. I truly treasure any scene with siblings interactions, one of the main reasons I love this series and can I say that the (non-romantic) triangle between Colin, Pen and Eloise is an absolute delight? I'm really glad we got to explore the relationship between Colin and Eloise, the scenes they had in part 1 already delivered so much! And part 2 is bound to have more awesome Pen&Eloise and Eloise&Colin scenes, I even hope we'll have the three of them together (as in next to each other in the same frame) at some point. Once the conflict over Lady whistledown is over imagine the potential for cute and hilarious moments of Pen being caught up between Colin and Eloise fighting for Pen's attention and affection. I WANT this next season 🤭 Oh but poor Pen... the amount of obstacles and stress she has to face before reaching that happy future... We're rooting for you Pen! Can't wait to see Kanthony stepping up to the rescue of Polin, love it!! I want more Francesca too 🥰 I adored that tiny non verbal interaction she had with Colin as she exits the drawing room with their mother after he gave all the gifts. That touch of the arm as she passes by him and the smiles, I live for that kind of details !

Very serious question.... who gets custody of Deblings love fern?....is Colin going to knock it out of the window from its pane. 'Oops' all sassy like. Or is it dead like that stag head and Debling when he takes that doomed passage.

I've been waiting for this!! Thank you Barbs 💙💛💙💛

Every Bridgerton has had their ass and happiness saved by Lady W’s “gossip.” The exception being El until she gets a proposal via her correspondence. I hope that will lead her to plead Pens case to the family and swear them to secrecy as Pen uses her super powers for good..

54:50 Eloise will know it’s a forgery as well! And it might be the moment that turns Eloise against Cressida and Eloise feels like Cressida has gone to far!

Regarding ring: didn’t Anthony give his bride Violet’s her ring?

Could Peneloise reconciliation come from Eloise not wanting Pen’s accomplishments being unclaimed?! I think Pen would be the one more happy to let it slide (until of course Cressida comes along)

I thought in the book Danbury put up $1000, but then Cressida blackmails Pen for 10k

I'm glad there is still stuff to work out for #polin even after they are married and maybe rewrite together for S4

I watched soo many of POLIN discussion videos on RU-vid before part 1 that the series actually disappointed me. It felt like I knew what was going to happen, even the things that were never in the book. So I have been staying away from all spoilers this time, I'm gonna watch part 2 absolutely fresh. Your podcast really tested my resolve because I wanted to watch it so bad but as soon as I heard spoiler warnings, I stopped. 😄 I am going to listen to this after Part 2. Also I just ... reallyyy realllyy disliked colin's hair when it was slikbacked wig. I liked it when it had those curls but in the same scene his hair would be different and I hated the slick back wig. It actually distracted me from the actual scene. Ick ! Hoping part 2 is better and waiting desperately as usual ! ❣

The only spoiler I want to hear about part two is that that wonderful effing balloon comes back. Loved your discussion, as ever! Thanks for all the work you’re doing on editing these conversations, they sound great and are much appreciated!

Love this episode ❤ in the book lady D offers 1 thousand pounds not 10

Pen just gets tired of the tons talking about Cressida being Lady Whistledown. More and more frustrated. The ton admiring her or congratulating Cressida on being that clever. Like you said Colin finds Pen going to a printers shop and as he’s grilling her, she SNAPS and shouts that it’s not Cressida. Never been and she’s not going to take this one amazing thing that she’s ever done from her. Like the book but without the glorious carriage scene lol. The night ends with him getting out at Bridgerton house alone and he needs to cool off. Maybe we will get the same scene from the book. Just different timeline.

I’ve lit a scented candle, its drizzling outside, I have my cuppa lemon ginger tea. Lets get started 🍵🤎
