Bridgerton The Duke and I Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

This week, Toni and Wendy swoon over two great speeches!
We watch Daphne and Simon say the bare minimum to each other for three days from dawn of the duel to the night of their wedding. Violet dismissed her hangover cure, substituted by the happy news of Daphne’s engagement to the duke. Simon clearly needed the raw eggs and garlic especially after Lady Danbury’s disappointed look. While everyone was excited and preparing for the wedding, Daphne needed to keep Cressida quiet about her garden escapade. Simon and Anthony were friendly again, but failed to secure a special license. The only way to get one was to make a plea with Queen Charlotte, who needed her own form of escapism, and we got an extremely beautiful declaration of love (and friendship) from the reserved duke. Still, tension and lack of communication distanced Daphne and Simon until the wedding night. Daphne was put into a different room, but when Simon went to escort her to dinner, another battle of Hastings started from shouts to quieter explanations. Then we got another great speech from Simon which got Daphne (and 82 million households) swooning and watching gasps turn to groans and moans, and a wonderful ending. All the while, Penelope’s thwarting of Marina’s scheme wasn’t able to prevent a secret engagement.
We haven’t been getting much news, but we’re ecstatic about the accomplishments and recognitions cast members have been receiving. We’ll be on the lookout for buzzy updates in addition to the Bridgerton: The Official Podcast which has been a great source of insight. Until then, join us as we breakdown season one, episode five “The Duke and I!”

Rank Bridgerton Predictions with Plot Trysts Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

We had to share the scandalous piece of gossip we found out last week with Meg and Laine from Plot Trysts so we can bring more theories your way! Last week, we mentioned that the season one script had read “Lady Araminta Cowper.” This can either be a red herring to get us riled up or we could see Lady Cowper as “the” Araminta in Benedict’s story. If so, Cressida will not only be a villain against Penelope, but the villain as Rosamund, Araminta’s eldest daughter. What do you think of the name and character change? Will there be gender swaps also? There are theories that not all siblings will be married at all or with their intended like in the books. The person they are supposed to be with may actually turn out to be a different gender with a similar name. Also, who exactly is Madame Delacroix because she has a noticeable amount of screen time. We’ll take any buzzy updates right now to make up for the silence we’ve been getting. We would like to come up with more ideas with Plot Trysts that will probably be wrong but entertaining. Until then, join us as we come up with rank Bridgerton predictions!

Bridgerton We Survived SNL Feb 28, 2021

Show notes

We burn for you too Simon, Duke of Hastings! We were fangirling along with the Saturday Night Live cast, the audience, and everyone else who tuned in to watch the Duke simply breathe. Then we heard his beautiful voice during the monologue, swaying on the pirate ship, and singing “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo between discussing Taylor Swift. A few days later, official Bridgerton merchandise dropped in collaboration with Phenomenal Woman. Several days after that, Bridgerton: The Official Podcast had their first full episode. Insight from Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury were included, and their messages were heartfelt! Also, don't forget we only have a few days left to vote for Rege-Jean for the 52nd NAACP Image Awards. Finally, we have more Easter eggs for the first four episodes including a very juicy detail about book three character, Araminta! That information got us coming up with new theories which means another crossover episode with Meg and Laine from Plot Trysts. We’ll reach out to the ladies while we watch for more buzzy updates. Until then, join us as we catch our breath after Rege-Jean Page’s performance on Saturday Night Live!

Bridgerton We Have Our Kate Feb 21, 2021

Show notes

The moment we’ve been waiting for… we have our Kate! The fandom has been busy bees with the amazing art, book covers, and memes. Who hasn’t seen the meme of Kate under Anthony’s desk? Also, rumor has it that Newton has been casted and bees will be trained. We were fed a heaping spoonful of Bridgerton goodness this past week and it ended the best way possible. Hopefully everyone watched the Duke of Hastings, Rege-Jean Page, on Saturday Night Live last night because it was glorious! Wouldn’t it be great if our Bridgerton-high remains with another reveal of a cast member? We’ll be watching for more buzzy updates. Until then, join us as we gush about our Kate!

Bridgerton An Affair of Honor Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

This week, Toni and Wendy breakdown a cheesy yet absolutely non-cheesy episode!
The episode begins with Violet sneaking a morsel at court before the diamond of the season receives diamonds. We sympathize with the prospect Marina received on behalf of Lady Featherington, until a Penelope disapproved rescuer spun her into happy eagerness. Philipa Featherington also has a suitor who seems perfect for her. Daphne had the perfect opportunity to show Simon she was doing just fine, but is she well after drooling over his seductive arms at a boxing exhibition? What we were really waiting for was the infamous Trowbridge Ball where Daphne and Simon came face to face, and neck to face! This led to the Anthony wanting satisfaction of another type, but not before seeking satisfaction with an old flame. While old flames are having a tryst, best friends are having a (major) tiff. But the bigger fights were at the end, within Daphne and within Simon to stop a duel. Join us as we breakdown Bridgerton episode four “An Affair of Honor!”

Bridgerton Art of the Swoon Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

Toni and Wendy are breaking down episode three!

We talk about dreaming and fantasizing. We’ve all seen the infamous spoon-licking scene. Simon gave us some “bad” thoughts then played a bad guy to Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.” Cressida showed us her fan flirting, stomping, and fainting skills to ensnare a prince. Is it absolutely over between Siena and Anthony? If so, what did he do with the list of names? Also, it is a truth universally acknowledged during the Regency era that mamas did not tell their daughters much about wives and husbands. So, of course, we turn to friends for information and suggestions. We don’t know where Daphne learned the reverse bend-and-snap trick, but it worked on the Prince. What we do know from this episode is women do what they need to do to survive in business, heartbreak, and a Season. Join us as we breakdown Bridgerton episode three “Art of the Swoon!”

Revisiting Bridgerton Episodes 1 & 2 Jan 31, 2021

Show notes

There were more Easter eggs from episodes one and two! Toni and Wendy have watched the series many times to help make Bridgerton Netflix’s biggest series debut ever as declared this past week, yet it’s clear they need to keep watching. The littlest things can be easily overlooked or easily missed, and some eggs have been hinted since the Virtual Global Fan Event. The keepsake from the previous Duchess of Hastings was mentioned during the event and Simon has been wearing it since he rode onto the screen. We’ve looked into the Latin and Italian phrases and they are perfect details giving so much depth to the show. Also, the Featheringtons not only dress in the family colors, but they dress with the family mascot too. It’s not a coincidence that an insect is fluttering about the ladies. Join us as we discuss more Easter eggs from episodes one and two!

Bridgerton Season 2 is Coming! Jan 24, 2021

Show notes

Toni and Wendy are elated! Bridgerton Season 2 has been confirmed by creator and showrunner, Chris Van Dusen, and he has been working on a script already. Spoiler alert for those who haven’t read the books, this episode is full of our bold predictions for next season. Toni thinks there’s going to be a Grey’s Anatomy moment because of an accident in the book. Wendy sees the debutante ceremony happening with Kate gliding in her own way, but will the book’s Diamond be declared in the show or will the Incomparable be someone else? Exactly how many Bridgertons and Featheringtons will be participating in the marriage market this season? Queen Charlotte is a meddling monarch which we would love to see happen again. But will we see Berbrooke back in town as in the book? The first season left many plots open including who will take over the Featherington house, will Will be investigated, who and where is Madame Delacroix, and much more. We are absolutely ready to see the Sheffields, full stop, including Newton and the universally loved Pall Mall Scene. Join us as we discuss Bridgerton season two bold predictions!

Bridgerton Shock and Delight Jan 17, 2021

Show notes

Wendy and Toni hope episode two also made everyone feel as if they’ve gone through an emotional roller coaster. The show starts with a past event that brought Simon into this world. The flashbacks correlated with present events giving us a better understanding of the current Duke of Hastings. Horrifying events that young Simon went through portrays the feelings that led to the vow at the end. But as we learn more of Simon, we see the repercussions of Daphne’s facer to Berbrooke in episode one and the planning and gossiping needed to get him out of the picture. We go on a journey with the innocent misses of the ton to get more information on a condition that may be catching. The mention of tulips is explained and it’s also an Easter egg. In addition to eggs, we were served with a lot of foreshadowing. We’ve seen #PenEloise last episode and we get #BenEloise have a lovely smoking session. We also learn some back story that has Eloise afraid of what Daphne’s going through, the marriage market. With one unwanted proposal dissolved and many suitors calling, Daphne will do what she must to get what she wants with or without Hastings help. Join us as we recap and breakdown the “Shock and Delight” episode!

Wendy and Toni’s Favorite Scribble –
“When I was a girl, some centuries ago, I was afraid of even my own reflection. I entered a room and attempted to dissolve into the shadows. But there is only so long one in a position such as ours can hide. I knew I would have to step into the light someday, and I could not very well be frightened. So, instead, I made myself frightening. I sharpened my wit, my wardrobe, and my eye, and I made myself the most terrifying creature in any room I entered…You can speak. I understood you well enough. And I will help you to overcome this stammer of yours. But in exchange, you must promise me that when you step into the light, you will be worthy of the attention you command.” -Lady Danbury to four-year-old Simon

Bridgerton Diamond of the First Water Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

This week, Wendy and Toni talk about April 1813 and the start of the marriage market season. We’ve watched the first episode numerous times and paused at the same places to research things and find easter eggs. The eggs led to bee references and to the other Bridgerton books in the series. Gathering information led to a building with a significant surname. Certain colors and plants depicted families well and even led to the stepback cover of “The Duke and I.” We refer to cast and crew articles and interviews to explain such things as butt de-shining, a necklace, and filming locations. Follower questions were answered to better understand the show. Embroidering may be a favorite pastime if we tried, but coming up with theories seems more entertaining. We’ve noticed some female characters that may be significant mamas and daughters for other seasons or hoping they’re a part of a musical family. Of course, we talk about Daphne and Simon who don’t want to sit by each other and shouldn’t be seen together, but make a statement amongst fireworks. Join us as we recap and breakdown the “Diamond of the First Water” episode!
Wendy’s Favorite Scribble –
“’Of all the bitches dead or alive, a scribbling woman is the most canine.’” –Lady Whistledown
Toni’s Favorite Scribble –
“I am fully subscribed to the belief that reformed rakes make the very best of husbands.” –Lady Violet Bridgerton
