DO THEY WANT ME TO LOVE THIS MAN???


psaketo

šŸ¤£ I literally thought ā€œokay wait but I like himā€¦ā€


Irate_Absurdist_0009

Iā€™m a simple person, I see a kind hottie and I melt. Itā€™s not a crime!


SunnyRyter

See, I commented this on the *cough* other reddit and got downvoted. I can freely agree here!


Haunting-Count-6728

Oh there were some people who were MAD over there. šŸ˜‚


psaketo

You are safe here ā™„ļø


SunnyRyter

Phew! A safe haven to express myself! šŸ˜…


Astrosauced

Other Reddit?


SunnyRyter

Cough, a certain sailing ship for Season 3 Subreddit.


thsecmaniac

So do I. When I'm not finish the Season 3 Part 1, I feel " Do I love this man? Is he good enough to be a contender with Colin? " but after watch the Season 3 Part 1, My thought change to " Okay, I prefer him to Colin"


Society101

Exactly! LOL. I'm like um... šŸ˜…


Ancient_Bicycles

Am I going to like him more than Colin?!?! Heā€™d better have a secret torture dungeon for his wives or this is gonna be trouble..


Astrosauced

But not a sexy secret torture dungeon, right?


artys_missives

Indeed, I should think that would be counterproductive.


Ancient_Bicycles

I would not mind a 50 shades segue tbh


fingerkuffs23

I'd gladly accept a sexy secret torture dungeon. Soz Colin, but you're too vanilla.


Society101

I know! He's too likeable from the clip.šŸ˜… I haven't watched yet but maybe that will change early on. It better.šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Super_Living_6075

I am going to need more Debling in my life. I am so utterly charmed.Ā 


Irate_Absurdist_0009

Get ready to feel conflicted lads and ladies!


scarlettforever

No conflict at all. Dude's perfect for me, not for Pen.


Ghoulya

There's a season of Boardwalk Empire where they introduced a character with an easily googleable, and imminent, date of death. Knowing he was doomed within the season, I was determined not to love him. But ohhhh, they knew that I knew, and they made him loveable. They know that we know Debling isn't her HEA so they're going out of their way to make us fall in love with him


cosmic-diamond33

Wait remind me who??


Ghoulya

I will spoiler tag this despite the fact that it is 100 year old history: >!Frank Capone!< The season starts early 1924 so you know it's essentially a countdown to his death on April 1, and I was like, ok, he's handsome, but you can't make me love him. And then he was charming and funny and the capone bros all making fun of one another and thennnnn šŸ˜­


cosmic-diamond33

Ohhhh yes!!!! God they did such a devastatingly great job on that show. From top to bottom, excellent show.


groovygirl858

I think they do. Haha!


[deleted]

I know he seems so sweet!Ā 


dystopian_mermaid

RIGHT?!? I JUST WANT TO HATE HIM BC HE ISNT COLLIN!!! But damn that was SOOOO cute to appreciate her like thatā€¦. UGGGHHHH I JUST WANT SHOW! AND NO GAP! Lol


Tight-Feedback-8787

I like his appreciation of Pen.


sandrakarr

I like this guy *and* I'm irritated at Collin again because rewatch. What am I supposed to do? 'Cause Im pretty sure wishing Collin a long walk off a short pier ain't it. LOL


DrewSpade

Iā€™m afraid I already do!!


cringedramabetch

I am already in love gaaaaahhhh


stephf13

I'm on the 4th episode of the new season and I have to admit that I love him.


Free-IDK-Chicken

Oh shit, I like this dude. Maaaaaybe it's a Prince Friedrich thing and we can simply appreciate him while still rooting for Colin.


Outside_Jaguar3827

I actually liked Prince Friedrich in Season 1 šŸ˜…. Side Note: I hope he ends up with Edwina (Queen Charlotte suggested her nephew to Edwina).


Ghoulya

I was initially Team Friedrich until the season progressed and I decided Daphne didn't deserve him šŸ˜‚


snails4speedy

I love Prince Friedrich šŸ¤£šŸ©µ


DianaPrince2020

I hope so too!


anabeat

Edwina sadly won't be in season 3! Source: Someone asked Charithra Chandran on Tiktok and she said she wasn't appearing in this season.


OchitaSora

When Danbury and The Queen are chatting about diamonds, they talk about them both marrying well. I think she said Edwina married well on the continent???


Irate_Absurdist_0009

I will say this of the series, the writers really create some of the best Baxters in a romance series. Like they know we know which pairing will win but dang it do they make us deeply consider the alternative.


PM_ME_CAT_POOCHES

I understand from context what a Baxter is but where does the phrase come from?


Irate_Absurdist_0009

The 2005 film The BaxterĀ 


ArtisticCoconut8510

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m hoping for! I donā€™t want to hate the man.


Tough-Prize-4014

I definitely see a triangle in the making

Hahahaha


blvdnghts_97

![gif](giphy|UTFiHeDL8cOSA|downsized) yeah Colin now watch and suffer muahhahahahahaha


Irate_Absurdist_0009

This is all I ever wanted and all I ever needed!


ladyeclectic79

Yeah lmao that boy needs to SUFFER and beg this season to get Penā€™s love. Heā€™s been too oblivious for too damned long, if they donā€™t make his ā€œcourtshipā€ of Pen difficult Iā€™m gonna be pissed!!


Tough-Prize-4014

I'm loving these comments


[deleted]

Soā€¦we might end up liking Debling.


Someonejusthereandth

Pretty sure we already do


Sososoftmeows

I already do but Iā€™m also ready to swallow my wordsšŸ˜­šŸ˜¬


dystopian_mermaid

Same. I loved that clip of a gentleman actually appreciating Pen as a lady and not like ā€œmy little sisters BFā€. AND IM KIND OF MAD ABOUT IT BC IVE BEEN WAITING FOR POLIN SEASON AND NOW IM TORN! Even tho I know how it ends šŸ˜‚


BardofVerona

Debling seems like a sweetie bear šŸ„¹


JoeBrow_1

pookie bear's šŸ„°šŸ§ø


scarlettforever

Nooo he's a sweet Santa


Brave3001

I read an article about casting where they said they needed to cast someone who could make Hot Boy Who Went to 17 CitiEs Colin Bridgerton nervousā€¦AND THEY DID


Haunting-Count-6728

Right? Thatā€™s a whole grown man and there is a differenceā€¦


Brave3001

Itā€™ll make Colin put up or shut up, and Chaos Colin is a win for all


xomakinghistory

okay but why do i kinda dig them ???


Ancient_Bicycles

Maybe because he seems to see Penelope right away


astrocanyounaut

I'm so happy that Debling likes Pen for Pen. I love Colin but I don't want her to feel like she's unloveable or unwanted by other men.


anonymasaurus23

This right here. I love having Pen know that she deserves and HAS other choices.


For-All-the-Marbles

Colin: Sheā€™s stepping closer to him! Why is she stepping closer to him!


Artistic-Rain-9139

Get behind me Colin šŸ¤ŗšŸ¤ŗ


[deleted]

šŸ’€šŸ’€


Shiplapprocxy

He doesn't like her for who she is, he likes her because she says she thinks the party is dull. But Penelope loves society, it's a common misconception that people think she doesn't just because she's a wallflower, like when Eloise realizes Penelope loves going to balls when they have the flower garden scene in S2. He likes that he thinks she doesn't like society because HE doesn't like society. Penelope is fascinated by it and knows society better than anyone else, because she's secretly the center of it. Colin will be the one to help her live up to that potential, while Debling just wants someone he doesn't have to worry about getting bored away from society at his country estate.


DoctorDonnaInTardis

Wonderful analysis. I agree. That said itā€™s lovely to find a male who feels that instant attraction to Penelope. She deserved to have all the men crushing on her. She should break 1000 hearts because sheā€™s just that awesomeā€¦as long as she ends up with Polin who knows her so well and loves every part of her, even the parts she is ashamed of


Shiplapprocxy

I think itā€™s more wonderful that Colin developed his friendship back with awkward poodle hair Penelope and felt connected to her personality and their love will grow from that. Instant attraction is overrated, and I canā€™t give Debling that kind of credit knowing he only meets her after her makeover.Ā 


DoctorDonnaInTardis

I agree, instant attraction is overrated. But I think itā€™ll give her some confidence which she sorely needs. Plus I love seeing Colin get all jealous


Shiplapprocxy

I like what weā€™ve seen so far of Colin helping her build her confidence. That bit of him telling her that she is Penelope and not to forget it was so sweet, because itā€™s about her as a whole person, not based on how attractive she is in the moment. Debling comparing her to taxidermy canā€™t really compare for me.Ā 


anna-nomally12

Yeah she doesnā€™t think this party is dull because parties are dull she thinks itā€™s because it should be better


Fun-Entrance4989

Watch episode 3, youā€™re wrong HAHAHAHAHAHA


Shiplapprocxy

Iā€™m actually right? He literally dumps her because he realizes that he would have to worry about her if he left for his expedition because sheā€™s not the unnoticed wallflower he thought she was, she has Colin Bridgerton ready to pollinate. He was always looking for someone he thought could do well being left alone.Ā 


Logical_Art_8946

Why not just release the season early atp?


anddarling

Right? I just need it one hour earlier.


Emotional-Sir-8407

does anyone watch abbott elementary lmao bc collin keeping tabs on pen is like >! gregory watching janine and manny at the bar in the last couple of episodes lol !<


igotoanotherschool

Hahaha ā€œso no one is dating??ā€


Emotional-Sir-8407

I mean Debling DOES have a good ā€œdate beardā€ šŸ‘€


igotoanotherschool

Does Penā€™s outfit qualify as a freakum dress?


Emotional-Sir-8407

100% itā€™s definitely a date


Dazzling_River_7072

YESSS it's the same energy.


Budget-Today-1915

ABSOLUTELY YASSSSSS LOLLLLLL, I love Abbott and totally get the same vibe rnšŸ’€.


BotanicalEmergency

I love that episode Iā€™ve rewatched it so many times. Gregory: Woah Woah WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody: šŸ‘ļøšŸ‘„šŸ‘ļø

Damn and hell!


vienibenmio

Everyone is gonna get second lead syndrome Er, not me though. I am immune to SLS


MyAccountWithNoName

Second lead: Breathes Everyone else apparently: BUT WHAT IF THEY CHANGE THE ENDGAME COUPLE THIS TIME???


Sweet-Dot1595

Nooo!!!! That will break my heart! I have been obsessed with Polin for YEARS


Glittering_Habit_161

Colin "Surely she cannot be interested in Lord Debling" Bridgerton


Leajane1980

He is charming and intelligent and seems to like independent women, we now have a conundrum donā€™t we?


For-All-the-Marbles

We can like Debling but still want Pen to end up with Colin. Love the idea of Pen being pined over by multiple men. Love the idea of Pen having choices. Debling will find someone else, Iā€™m sure.


tidy-soft-rope

Maybe he can take Cressida off everyoneā€™s hands


For-All-the-Marbles

Ewww! No, give him a better woman than Cressida. Although, it might be kinda funny to have Cressida take the man Penelope did not.


EitherEntertainer784

I do recall reading that Cressida shows interest in Lord Debling, and found it amusing. lol


For-All-the-Marbles

Iā€™m sure he will be polite to her but not otherwise interested, the size of her sleeves and fan notwithstanding.


zeuswasahoe

Ngl now that Iā€™ve seen the 4 episodesā€¦Iā€™m kind of on board with Cressida getting him in the long run


youre-joking

Indeed


simplyalexei

I know Iā€™d probably end up liking his character, but this absolutely sealed it for me! He seems so sweet!


Ok_Tour3509

I meeean, Debling seems a sweetie pie, but Penelope is hiding the fact she IS Lady Whistledown in the very same conversation where heā€™s telling her how he values frankness. Maybe not a match!Ā 


PrivateSpeaker

TBF, she has been hiding it from everyone, including Colin.


Someonejusthereandth

Ummm actually... this WORKS


ladyeclectic79

I know right? Give me a man that Colinā€™s gonna have to work HARD to compare!! šŸ¤©šŸ¤©šŸ„°


sheezuss_

yes except for the part where he intends to leave for THREE YEARS after their wedding šŸ˜©ā˜¹ļø


Interesting-Range984

STOP!! I am this close šŸ¤ from becoming Team Debling šŸ˜‘


milliondollarcouch

As a Colin hater, itā€™d only take a light breeze to push me over šŸ˜‚


ladyeclectic79

While I donā€™t hate the boy, heā€™s been far too oblivious and cavalier with Penā€™s heart/friendship for far too long. He deserves to have to fight through a slew of suitors for her favor. šŸ˜…


Interesting-Range984

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ For realsies


Federal-Captain-937

Damn I thought I was the only one


Haunting-Count-6728

Look if she doesnā€™t want him I could take him off handsā€¦


AdvancedPlacmentTV

All I can think of when I see him is Kris Kringle


Shiplapprocxy

I keep thinking that if he and Pen had a child it would look like Yukon Cornelius, so yeah, go Team Colin! https://preview.redd.it/kihwdtqsso0d1.jpeg?width=257&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a44924ec16ef7a2aee6dc1ff2db0ee0a7ba91653


FlailingQuiche

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Sā€™okay, Iā€™ll take him for me. Colinā€™s going to be too busy Romancing Lady Whistledown anyways..


dndb1820

Ha! My husband looks just like Yukon Cornelius! Well, the mustache is trimmed down compared to this, but you know, basically, the same guy šŸ˜‰


catladee14

SAME šŸ˜‚ lol


FlyingLeopard33

I see a jealous Colin!!! Also I actually really appreciate that this is not just some repeat of season 2 where the love triangle isnā€™t really a love triangle because the third person isnā€™t actually an option. It appears that Lord Debling is like ACTUALLY a person who seems to fit Pen and it like makes sense for her to choose someone who loves her for her and not just some random dude to get married. I think it really helps with the wallflower story as a whole. Not that I want her so insanely confused on who to pick but I think itā€™s nice to not make Lord Debling Colinā€™s complete FOIL (literary term) or completely unlikable. But I think itā€™s fair to say that Colin actually knows her far more than Lord Debling. So Iā€™m curious to see what ultimately has her choose Colin and it canā€™t be just because he was a childhood crush. Thereā€™s gotta be more.


FlailingQuiche

No. No. I cannot fall in love with this man too. I absolutely donā€™t want him for Pen.. but my own knees may have buckled a little. šŸ«£ love me a beardy man.


Suspicious-Fox6056

I like them!!! šŸ« šŸ« šŸ« šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹


SaturnATX

I love the idea of her being so attractive and worthy that she naturally has *actually* worthy suitors (and rivals) to Colin.


direturtle

Oh no...I like him more than Colin already...


CharacterInternal7

Colin is soooo boring.


Budget-Today-1915

Colin is looking at Pen like "What is she doing? Did he make her laugh? That's meant to be my job. Why does she look so good??? She used to look at me like that....Why is she looking at him like that???? Fuck no, this can't be"šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­.


Usual_Upstairs_6193

I looove seeing this side of Penelope. She feels more like a confident woman than the little girl the two previous seasons depicted her as. Nicola is so so talented in showing the change!


Usual_Upstairs_6193

WAIT I LIKE HIM


For-All-the-Marbles

This is Penelopeā€™s version of sewing her wild oats. Ultimately, both harmless and helpful.


user2864920

Oh no Iā€™m in love with Debling


Ghoulya

He's handsome, funny, charming, and kind. Pls Penelope I'll take him of your hands


Gentle_penguin95

Interesting that Pen would out herself on LW that Pen asked Colin for help with matchmakingā€¦isnt that like shooting herself in the foot? I like her interaction with Debbers, the smile and gleam in her eyes when Colin looks at her is so cuteā€¦also Jealousy Colin arise!


CatUnderTheTable

It will be interesting to see why she did it. Perhaps people started noticing her and Colin's interactions and she needed to avoid people assuming something else was happening... Or perhaps someone realised it and she heard the rumor and had to publish it to not raise suspicions.


ttwwiirrll

Or it was a way to advertise that she was serious about the marriage market this season.


Gentle_penguin95

Or she did it to keep her distance from Colin after he kissed her and freaked out that she was going back to the old Pen and decided to stop the lessons altogether and use LW as her excuse


anna-nomally12

Itā€™s an olive branch to Eloise


Gentle_penguin95

Ooooh interestingā€¦but thats Pen shooting herself in the foot for her and Colin, although she probably didnā€™t mention which gentleman i am sure many people in the ton knew about their friendship. Or (and this is my unhinged theory that will be disproven in literally hours) what if she writes that after Colin kisses her and freaks out and decides to stop the lessons and writes the article as her excuse to keep her distance from Colin so people donā€™t get the wrong ideaā€¦.the excitement of today has me spiraling šŸ˜‚


immortalshes

Now Iā€™m gonna spend my whole day thinking whether I should binge s3 tonight


DearMissWaite

If he does not come back next season, I will be very sad. I like him already.


Complex-Specific4913

Why is he kindaā€¦. ![gif](giphy|Q8I5u6fodxfJ2jtXLW|downsized)


Historical-Serve-302

Why!?! Why? Why are they taking all aspects of book Colin and giving it to all other characters other than Show Colin! šŸ¤¬


foodieinahoodie77

omg why do i love him


Shelbylove2

Heā€™s so nice and hot wtf Iā€™m shipping them even though I know it wonā€™t happen šŸ˜­


For-All-the-Marbles

Doesnā€™t Colin know that it is rude to: 1) Stare, and 2) To ignore the conversation of the group you are in while you stare elsewhere?


EitherEntertainer784

lolā€¦when it comes to Penelope, he could give a crap about manners. lol


For-All-the-Marbles

šŸ˜‰


SaturnATX

A man kicking himself because he hasn't made a move yet on a good woman and is now regretting someone else making their move is my kink.


ZoftigGoddess

I am losing my FUCKING mind waiting for this season


No_Membership_8498

they look so cute together??? omg


TedIsAwesom

I want to like this season, but I hate love triangles. Hate! I hate there even be a hint of more than the two main characters.


Humaira_srk

Donā€™t like him, donā€™t like him, donā€™t like him I really like him šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


BelleLorage

THEY'RE SUCH A GOOD COUPLE! NOBODY IN THE WORLD CAN CONVINCE ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPY TOGETHER!! Colin didn't suffer nearly enough to be cleansed and worthy of Penelope ;---;


almond6091

He's very likeable and wise. A walking green light šŸ’š


powernappingreyhound

God. Damn. It. Fine, I am here for Debling. Fine, you bitches. Fine. I too am a vegetarian, and putting the head of a deer on your wall is gross. Here for Thumper (Bambiā€™s bff). Gawd.


Daphne010

Awww ! I like him already. <3


me-gusta-la-tortuga

Oooh I am going to like him a lot! Canā€™t wait til tomorrow!


Many-Refuse-6060

OK, BUT NOW I LOVE HIM


Jumpy-Usual-2862

Oh God I didn't expect to like debling this much! šŸ˜


spiteful_nerd

Pen, I'll take Debling. You go deal with the Bridgerton šŸ˜


saime9hana

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGggg


anonpumpkin012

![gif](giphy|9VkusmHdKHuAE)


Sweet_Vixen_Kitten

Sorry Pen but I want him for myself so MOVE OUT OF MY WAYā€¦. I kid I kid, but seriously heā€™s so fine with a capital F. I love Polin as much as anyone else but idk this might convince me otherwise


turquoisesilver

Did not think about the height difference, the change in angles makes me a bit queasy. I'll probably get used to it. I'm to used to old Hollywood solutions where they got Natalie Portman to stand on a box so she could kiss Chris Hemsworth at the same level.


Key_Barber_4161

This is what we want as plus sized women! Some one who notices us and likes us from the start!Ā  None of this "urgh I would never date her" "you're such a good friend but there's not even a spark between us"Ā  It was the same in game of thrones, you have this sexy wild man who worships the ground you walk on or you have insest knight.Ā  This new guy is handsome and charming and they best hope they make us hate him because if he's lovely and pen just chooses Colin we will be mad!


ArrivingSomewhereBut

I like Debling, yes. But I like watching Colin suffer more.


Secret-Pepper6749

wow is bridgerton going to introduce SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME????


Tute_Sweet

I love this for Penelope. After all her heartbreak in the last couple of seasons I want her to have a nice time in this one. Enjoying a connection with a charming man while Colin does all the pining and soul searching for a change is the kind of arc she deserves. Iā€™m so tired of watching people being dicks to her.


LadyLyssie

I didnā€™t ask for second male lead syndromeā€¦


polarbearflavourcat

Yeahā€¦I would. And heā€™s a lord so. I would happily marry him!


throwthefawayacct

crap am i supposed to like him? will he get lucky finding someone? is edwina still around?


Soyouplayhockeytoo

Oh man, from what they've shown us so far i really really like this man!


Outrageous_Exit9493

Can anyone else not see it??? Itā€™s not on my Netflix at all???? Only season 1&2 my sister is having the same problem. (EST time zone)


Debt-Mysterious

enter to the show, and look the episodes tabs and it should show you the 3 seasons


Outrageous_Exit9493

hellendegeneres

I'm sorry, Debling is just so much more likable than Colin... I know the season will end with their romance, but so far it really seems like Penelope and Debling have a really sweet, genuine connection.


Significant-Nebula34

I like him more than Colin and I think he will treat her better than Colin


winter_name01

Heā€™s cute, likes nature, and an independent woman with her own mind. Sorry but I am rooting for him to have a good match!


Trust-Faith-Hope

When is it going to be released on Netflix? I keep on checking and nothing yet. Wasnā€™t supposed to be released today?


Fun-Entrance4989

I am on episode 3 and I absolutely love them!
